Rugby wiki ... it had to come

By /
And the best is that it came here in Wellington on the fine Dropkicks wiki site!

Think of it as your one stop online shop (doesn't that trip off the tongue well) for all things rugby - all the facts, information and ... hang on, it's got bits missing! Fear not intrepid rugby fan, you can right that wrong, you can plug that gap - merely push edit on the page and type away.

Yes, this is a Wiki. A website that YOU can edit with no downloading, no installing and no cost.
Just push Edit.

I leave you with those fine gentlemen and ladies of The Dropkicks to explain the rest:
...

Basically what we are after is any and all factual information you have about rugby. If you know the exact time and place that Victor Matfield scored his first try or who refereed the World Cup qualifier between the USA and Uruguay, we want you to tell us (in the wiki).

But what we don’t want is anything subjective, so no complaining about poor refereeing or the quality of play by any team or player. No praise either for that matter.

But get in there and have a play around (we’ll be lurking about tidying things up) and hopefully we’ll have a brilliant repository of rugby information in no time.

Make Your Public Event Calendar Usable To All

If you run a sports club, this post is for you. If you are on a community committee, this post is also for you If you host events, this is for you. If you put on shows, this is for you. In fact, if you do anything that has a date/time component that you'd like to share with people, this is for you . Yep, probably for all of us. Sharing calendars can be both: an effective way of letting everyone know a complete and utter technical pain in the bottomly region If you've posted up an events page onto your website you know how difficult it is to keep up to date, how the readers have to keep coming back to get the latest changes and don't even think about integrating with somebody else's "events page". Ok, so we all know the problem. What's the solution? iCalendar (normally shortened to iCal) ... yep, it's a geek word that you will come to know and love just as much as RSS. In fact, think of it as RSS for calendars. But that's enough geekery, if you want

The Difference Between One Million And One Billion

It's feels like a billion is just a bit bigger than a million. Obviously it's bigger but it fits on the same scale as a million, surely. It doesn't. A billion is so so so much bigger than a million. I've trawled the internet finding graphics and videos that show the VAST difference between one million and one billion. Oh, and just to finish with a different misconception about space starting with the classic opening line from the great Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy : “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

The office has all been moved around - new desks (with starter handles to raise and lower them), new high(er) speed network and ... the same old work. At least I have a differing view of the world, my team (well, the team I'm a part of not "my" team) is a lot closer - finally - and it's like an office from the 80's ... or even a classroom. But I still have time to move the crap off the PC : ------ Any man who hates dogs and loves whiskey can't be all bad. Anyone who hates Dogs and Kids Can't be All Bad. Hey! Who took the cork off my lunch??! Who stole the cork from my breakfast? Now don't say you can't swear off drinking, it's easy. I've done it a thousand times. Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. Then quit, no use being a damn fool about things. Madam, there's no such thing as a tough child - if you parboil them first for seven hours, they alwa

Zoom In For The Shocking Detail

It's not often one comes across a blue plaque that sums up town life quite so aptly. I'm afraid you'll have to zoom in to get the full measure of the writing.
