An innovative approach that starts with the people rather than the conversation. This is a tool/service that makes a real difference to how you engage audiences online.

Re: iPad publisher concepts

benhamin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 07:25:24 -0000

I guess the iPad provides a realistic reading interface, whereas the iPhone/mobile is limited to quick reviews of text. I have read substantial copy on the iPhone but it is a bit of a chore, I also find that I reserve long email responses for when I'm at a keyboard.. short-from responses are fine.

It's interesting to think that the iPad is fully rejecting Flash (I initially thought it would come later). But I guess from an interoperability point of view it just makes sense... code once for all browsers. The web is almost regressing (in a good way) to the standards and rules of the early days... a good thing I think.

Not to my knowledge. We were talking the other day and he seems happy with his ride... and has only just passed his P's so won't be changing for awhile I would have thought. I will ask though.

hello, all the Scotts team are cool, so say hello from me if you go down. I dealt with Luke primarily and he was extremely helpful in educating on the pro's and con's of different bikes as I really didn't know what I was doing.

The way it worked with my bike: Scotts had a container due in and I was able to see photos and specs of all the bikes, I then placed a nominal deposit to reserve the bike I liked, on its arrival I went to see it and had the option to change if I wanted. All good.

They generally have a few models floating around so you'll be able to get a feel for the GB.

On parts for the GB, I don't know really, Scotts keep stock of stuff... best to ask them.

FYI: A colleague at work just got a lovely GB250 from them in dark green and cream, looks great.

Hope that helps... happy riding. B

hey Ryan, thanks for the comment. Re-reading my post I realise what I did, I failed to identify your pic as an example of a GB - not the actual eBay one - that's fixed now. Anyhow, love your bike... in fact it was about the only cool pic I could find of the GB (seeing as your a photographer, that makes sense...). Do you have any other pics of it?

With regards to my 'project' haven't done anything as yet... just riding it... must say the kick-start is a pain some days, so I'm evaluating whether to make this the project or not. Will share whatever I do.

I'm still wetting myself... that clip is great

Since speaking I watched the clip on Vimeo and it actually performs better than the embedded - well seemed too - which is weird, same host.

With regards to keeping the dialogue, connection and relevancy going to DVD - the trouble is having a team that can keep it going whilst not using all the budget. The one problem we don't have is a shortage of things to discuss and share: creation, comparison, reviews, background and so forth.

Thanks for the compliment and fingers crossed on Balibo. I'm so excited about that film.

All valid points and thanks for the praise on the design, I'll pass it on to Nick (the designer).

The plan is to grow a following up until release, keeping the post frequency relatively high and include key people from the films creation to give their perspective and spread the responsibility of upkeep. We'll probably slow down after release, but with the distribution of authors should keep the posting pretty active up until DVD.

Your suggestion on the use of a scene from the film is a valid one. Right now that's not in the plan. We do have have some great footage from the set which will be featured though.

...and I hope we fall into the 'good marketing' category for Australian film.

Thanks for the comment on the Lucky Country blog. Sadly I lost it with the integration of the Disqus content system. So I'll answer it here:

We did 'deinterlace' that clip - but your right it's 'zigging and zagging' so will have a play - thanks for the headsup.

Thanks for the insight. Its interesting to see that Monday remains that clear the decks, catchup on news and plan the week day... but what's great is that you share your discoveries - thanks for that.
