Do we have a schedule for leaving Christchurch?
I’m currently (half assedly coz I’m not sure if it’ll work) trying to organise an inline hockey game against the Christchurch Redbacks which would probably be at about 10am on the Sunday morning. If I can get four Beasts players, throw in a few ex-Dunedinites and chuck some wheels on Neil I’d have a team <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="

More important is that WE need a goalie.
Ryan,
Thanks for the input so far. It looks like 480×360 is the preferred resolution. However the example above seems to be jittering even on fast connections. So I’ve uploaded a new file, same resolution, but lower bit rate (500 instead of 768 kbps) and with a slightly lower audio quality (quite shitty instead of just shitty quality). The new example shows up more compression errors, but should load silky smooth even on crappy 256K connections.
Lemme know if you think it’s okay or if I should bump up or drop down the bit rate.
thanks,
RyanPS: I’ll still probably add the occasional full res. mega high bit rate versions for small/popular clips. I just can’t be bothered doing multiples of each one as it takes quite a while to encode and upload them all.

[/quote:2bloiuwy]I plan to do what I’m told – preferably the cheapest option.
But … if it fits in with the transportation, it would be useful if I could bring a blonde russian tennis player with me as she’ll likely be going to Christchurch to hang out with her Canadian ginger hockey playing boyfriend that weekend.
Ryan,
PS: Chris, you are [size=4:2bloiuwy][b:2bloiuwy]NOT[/b:2bloiuwy][/size:2bloiuwy] allowed to bring my mum with you.

Nope. The National champs are on tonight. If there isn’t a notice here and there isn’t a notice on the home page then it’s safe to assume that no game is on.

[/quote:5s3sw2zc]When I saw it the other day it had glass windows. Will they be staying? Doesn’t seem like the most effective insulation.
This is great news for Queenstown hockey players.
Ryan,
And another tidbit of rink information. The grapevine is saying that the Queenstown rink will be open all year round from now on. Anyone heard about this yet? Or is it just rumour?
Ryan,
"Crash":pp1wgsbc wrote:They have ice all year round now[/quote:pp1wgsbc]Weird. Are they closing in the walls or something? Seems like they’d need some more insulation to keep that place frozen in the summer. Although I noticed they’ve got windows instead of netting around the rink now which should keep the cold in a bit.
Ryan,
