Hey guys, I have spent the past week in Wellington based at the Silicon Welly office and have been loving it - there are so many people that are encouraging and cool in Wellington! I am currently based in Christchurch but aiming to move here asap (October 2008) and keen to meet as many people in the NZ IT scene as possible - I am making some great contacts and love to talk about ideas and how we can work together and cross promote etc The site I have been working on is http://www.

I'm still buzzing after 10 hours of Gadgets, Games and Geeks - and I'd love to hear your reactions.

'Unlimited Potential' is on LinkedIn, too.

I'm sure, as you're bouncing off the walls around on Facebook, or waiting for the fail whale to swim away, you are thinking: "Why isn't UP on (insert social site)" Well, we are: * There is the "Unlimited Potential" room on FriendFeed, a place for UP to share and discuss things.
