These are some blogs and websites of mates and fellow bloggers… I just thought I would post a little about them and why I have linked to them.


Ergscores.com is a Java web application developed by Jeff Wagner. The purpose of the application is to assist Jeff and others all over the world record their erg scores. For those that do not know, an Erg is a rowing machine commonly found in gym around the world. The most typical make is a concept 2, though I find the rowperfect equally effective and perhaps a more accurate representation of on-water rowing. The concept 2 tends to be the officially endorsed rowing machine for most popular indoor rowing and internet rowing competitions and also national team selections. Ergscores has also integrated with Facebook.

Playing with profits is a fellow blogger with an interest in software development and making money online. WizCoder is also keen on Ironman training - which I respect a great deal, I’ve been pretty lazy with training recently as you can see from my training blog!

Kiwiology is an awesome combination of all the kiwi bloggers out there - alphafoobar: technology mumbo jumbo is even included, because I’m from and in New Zealand. It will be very interesting to see this resource grow as a strong New Zealand centric web media centre. Following a similar path is sharemynz.co.nz, which is more like a blogger.com than a blog.

Wargames supply is the eCommerce store of a corporate colleague - and Senior Java Developer/consultant. Remarkably, he broke free of the corporate chains to open his store: Wargames supply in Wellington. The eCommerce site is only an extension of his ‘real world’ store. And he supplements his income through contracting his Java and now also CMS skills, while also dabbeling in the Forex with automated trading.
Unit seven is the new website of Sam, a good friend with some rather unique artistic abilities, providing some stunning photographic images as well as some inventive images incorporating cartography.
The musings of the Rebel Rabble… in blog form. A founder of nzfusion and having a strong affliction for youTube and believes that caffiene can cure RSI. You can check out Belle’s wicked animation on youTube and here and in Belle’s blog - the musings Rebel Rabble. She also links in other cool stuff she finds, Belle is interested in finding what is useful for you and interesting and making it more useful and more interesting.
Careering through life is Jason’s blog, largely about your future or current career. Jason is also a founder of nzfusion. Jason is also interested in finding ways of developing himself and providing this information for everyone else. We are both quite interested in the internet market and how some people largely making something from nothing and what part does syndication, affiliation, advertising and other web based franchising technologies that play a part in web2.
Alphafoobar: technology mumbo jumbo is about technologies, especially those that are involved or could be involved in the development of web applications, recently covering Javascript frameworks and open source wiki/cms offerings. And those that are utilised for managing our remotely organised projects. But it is also about interesting stuff discovered online… for example Java/JNI.

    uuurk, sorry if that was misleading - just realised what I wrote. Kiwiology doesn’t “host” blogs, it just collects and lists them with the intention of promoting the kiwi blogosphere!

    Apologies! :)
