Comment on The Cloud’s Shape Is Really Rectangle by Tony

“markitecture” as described by you fills a valuable void. By expressing current state as so complex and and hard to understand it provides valuable marketing justification for change. Any change. By any means, therefore justfying the application of copious amounts of money via the tool the marketing droid just happens to have available. Otherwise no one would buy more technology.

It also fills another void, but perhaps should not go there….

You can also use + for sub addressing..

so you sign up at the website xyz you can use miramar.mike+xyz@gmail.com and then use the filter to tag the messages as they come in..

actually, as I understand the period “.” can go anywhere

so m.ikeriversdale@ would also resolve, as would mi.keriversdale@, etc etc

giving you increasingly more options the longer your username (before the @)

Comment on We Need Support And Telling Me “Google it” Won’t Do by Mike

Google Apps setup is, for any mildly competent IT person, the easiest thing in the world.
Support when it doesn’t work because of a client issue is, again, pretty darned easy.

However, talking to the machine called Google has been daunting in the past.
This post from a friend here in Wellington about Blogger (admittedly not Google Apps) is heartening as it highlights a definite a sea change going on within Google that is occurring very quickly:

AND, companies such ourselves, Cloudbreak and others in NZ are stepping up to the mark.
A mere 12 months ago this wasn’t that case so just think how different it will be in another 12 months

Google apps is giving us (an IT company) a great way for us to bridge the gap between having an ISP pop account to an Exchange server, for our clients from the 2 to 15 seat market.

And you guys have certainly hit the nail on the head. Businesses that try and do the apps setup would have a really hard time with setup or troubleshooting issues.

I hope you get to be the NZ google apps guys.
