NZ Election 08: what I think of the results

I don't like the overall result.
Come on guys! As a nation, do we really have less collective self awareness than most single celled organisms? Do we really learn nothing from past experience? Do we really expect the National party to solve our current economic crisis when they caused most of our other ones? Are we really so stupid as to think blue means the same thing in all countries?
At least the Green party has a stronger presence in Parliament. Yay us! I thoroughly enjoyed the election night party hosted by the Wellington Greens, except for the part when I saw the results.

I am in the process of starting a(n initially small) business custom building computers. I hope I get off the ground before National burns the buttocks off the economy too much for that to be possible. I am taking orders now if anyone in the Wellington region wants/needs a PC or server. I am still also looking for work in the usual way so I would also like to know if my CV interests you in any way.

I am progressing in my knowledge of the Chinese language. I'm hoping to be up to blogging in it by the end of the year. That said, I'm fluent in French and I don't blog in that language. Perhaps I should blog triningually just to be consistent.
