We’ve had the pleasure of working with two highly respected and accomplished journalists Tim Watkin and Eleanor Black in bringing to life their dream for Pundit.

Described as New Zealand’s first online current affairs and culture magazine, the site offers in-depth analysis of events in New Zealand and abroad, commentary from the most insightful political writers, polls, blogs, aggregated news, and a selective view of New Zealand’s cultural life. It is modeled on successful online publications such as Slate, Salon and The Huffington Post.

The site was built using Drupal.

Congratulations to Stephen, who codes for us here at cre8d design, for advancing to the final round of Google’s Code Jam programming competition! He came 8th in the Asia/Pacific round and will next compete in California in November.

We had a lot of fun putting together a new funky design for UAE Kitten - a personal blog since 2002 by a girl from United Arab Emirates. As you click through different parts of the site, the layout changes slightly. It’s been really interesting reading her blog and seeing the world through her photos and thoughts. Oh and her blog always makes me hungry with heaps of photos of yummy food!

Part of the project involved moving everything from Greymatter over to Wordpress and writing some custom scripts to import in all her photo albums and recipes, which were all static HTML pages.

Update: Our ISP Slingshot is caching private Gmail, Trademe, Facebook and Digg pages!!! I - and others on Slingshot - can see other people’s account info! We have had caching issues with them before, but never on private pages and this is RIDICULOUS! We rang Slingshot this afternoon and they admitted the problem!!!

This afternoon I tried logging into Gmail as I usually do to check my email and discovered that I was logged into someone else’s account! I got a real shock and tried a few more times, the same thing happened again.

I then tried using a different browser (IE7 instead of Firefox 2) and this time when I logged in I saw a different person’s Gmail account! In both cases I get a pop-up window appearing saying the following:

You have been signed out of this account.

This may have happened automatically because another user signed in from the same browser. To continue using this account, you will need to sign in again. This is done to protect your account and to ensure the privacy of your information.

What was interesting is that the email accounts all look to be those of other New Zealanders as there are TradeMe emails in both (New Zealand’s version of Ebay).

As of now I still can’t access my Gmail account and am seriously concerned about what is going on.

We’ve created an Olympics Medal Table plugin for Wordpress which is updated faster than any other source online that we can find.

If you don’t have Wordpress, there’s some javascript code you can paste into your site as well.

Enjoy!
