Reminder: Daylight saving kicks in Sunday morning
Remember that daylight saving kicks in at 2am this Sunday morning, and you'll need to put your clock forward one hour.
So nobody gets inconvenienced by the time change, all auctions due to close between 2am and 4am on Sunday morning (about 900) will be extended by two hours.
Daylight saving will be with us right through until Sunday 1 April 2012. More...
Landcheck heads back to CERA
This afternoon we passed the www.landcheck.org.nz website across to the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority to run and maintain, as planned.
In the three months since we built, hosted and launched the Landcheck site, it has clocked up more than 10 million hits as people sought to confirm the status of their residential properties in the wake of the Canterbury earthquakes.
It was a privilege to be asked by Government to build the site, and our team enjoyed getting it designed and built in just four days. The team was also pretty stoked when the Prime Minister dropped in with a surprise visit (see the pic) to thank them personally after the site went live on 23 June. More...

Starship Spring Clean II is under way
We're stoked to be supporting the Starship Spring Clean again this year. It has just been switched on here at Trade Me, and will be running for the month of September.
We did this last year and it was cool. Who wouldn't want to help out the national children’s hospital and one of New Zealand's most awesome charities, the Starship Foundation?
There are 3 things involved: list an item, pledge to donate auction proceeds to Starship, then donate once the item is sold. Aim to donate as close to 100% as you can. Also, don't forget there's free Gallery on $1 reserve listings. More...
