APOLOGIES - on our quest to find the perfect 'quiet' bar to record within we tried Rogue & Vagabond (way too loud), and ended up at HUSK which wasn't too bad ... but still.

Have no fear though, because aurynn overcomes the noise factor by telling us all something VERY BLOODY COOL! And she sticks to telling us about despite Mike wanting to drink more beer (grrr him).

Her New Zealand Mastodon project is nearing completion ... find out why she has done it, what it means for us all, and how we can get aboard ... in the coming weeks!

It's hard being a startup in New Zealand, it's even harder being a social enterprise and looking for social investment $. It's a big maunga to climb, but Hiria and her corporate background has more than a start upon the journey ...

A little bit of nepotism never did anyone any harm … no? If you went by Rob Boyle’s surname* you’d not know he was our very own Mike’s younger brother who, during his Christmas / New Year visit to New Zealand took the opportunity to explain to Mike exactly what he does.

Coming from a Microsoft infrastructure background,, managing the first ever Daily Mail website, and now working and living in Sweden Rob (or Bob as he loves to not be called) is on an agile project management journey.

A personal thanks to past show star Charlotte HInton (https://accessgranted.nz/episodes/2018/11/27/charlotte-hinton-agile-the-ongoing-party) who volunteered to catch-up with Rob and help him on this agile journey - Kiwis are so generous!

With the change in System Error format (see: https://accessgranted.nz/jibberjabber/2018/12/13/a-change-for-system-error) we we have a concise discussion around the following subjects:

1: Use of VR in the new Johnsonville library design / training
2: Taking time off the phones, and how
3: Can tech events demand MSM cover them?

We love the question to event organisers, "So what do you want publicity to achieve for your event?"

Thanks to Deb and Sean for joining Mike and Raj .

See YOU at the next #WellyTech discussion forum: https://accessgranted.nz/coming-soon/recording-system-error

- Thursday, April 18, 2019
- 5:30pm-7pm (Recording happens between 6pm-6:30pm)

Rebecca Caroe, in Auckland, has a chat with Bob Weir around how, why, and who should read his new book, "Why Businesses Fail" - and if you don't hear one tip that makes you sit up and listen then you weren't listening in the first place.

"Take a journey through hundreds of case studies and stories about failed businesses and take a journey through the irrational human mind that contributed so much to these failures."

A cracking chat between Neal Richardson and Viv at the SparkOne annual event (Spark's "unconference") late in 2018.

They cover what an unconference is, where the SparkOne version came from, and the best parts of running the event before they widen out to how Neal got to be where he is, the finest parts of working within Spark, and how it's all about perceptions and communications (!)

aurynn’s back, aurynn shaw is back in the AG house, and we couldn’t be happier.

When aurynn speaks there is always gold, especially around the culture of tech, how organisations can modernise and equalise their approach to tech and why devops is NOT a job title!
