WordPress has just launched an Open Source app that lets you write posts, upload photos, and edit your WordPress blog from your iPhone or iPod Touch. Wikipedia describes WordPress as a blog publishing system written in PHP whereby all data is stored in a MySQL database. Since iPhones have recently been released in New Zealand I would suspect that WordPress’s new application will support the growing movement of people starting to blog. I never thought I could get into this personal opinion/information sharing type of thing, but the WordPress interface makes it very quick and easy to write & publish a post online. Now that this system has been made possible using an iPhone (which now operates on a 3G network) the extended coverage will allow for faster information sharing whereby posts can be made instantly from the time of first thought.

The Carisbrook Stadium Trust is now beginning the process of re-zoning the land where they plan to build the new multi-purpose stadium. This is going to be an arduous task which will hopefully go though without any appeals being lodged with the Environment Court. If appeals are lodged this would mean that the stadium construction could be delayed which means that the stadium would not be ready for the 2011 Rugby World Cup. The land will need to be re-zoned from an industrial zone to campus zone so that the stadium can be built.

This is a new light industrial development that we are in the final stages of completion with. Stage one of this development has sold well and now stage two is continuing that success with only one remaining. Ross Rainsford and Stephen Hughes have done a great job at selling these to those in Wanaka short of space for their boat or car, warehousing for business, or for an investment property.

EZY-STOR Self Storage has today just opened its fourth storage facility in Dunedin. The new facility in St. Albans Street, Kaikorai Valley has 58 garages 29 - 3×3’s and 29 - 6×3’s. The demand for storage in Dunedin continues to grow as new facilities quickly fill requiring another to be built. We are currently working on our 5th mega facility now which could double our size and provide EZY-STOR Self Storage with a range of smaller size units located in the center of town.
