Finally...

Our internet is connected. It turns out that Telecom NZ (the former monopoly national carrier, like Telstra or Telkom) connected up the wrong cable in the exchange (or something like that...) which meant that our internet took an extra week to get connected. Hence the lack of posts recently... we've still been relying on the library for internet.
But now, it's connected, so feel free to skype me... do a search and we should turn up :)
