Back to the drawing board

Well Paris was a blast.  We rocked the Paris town hall, we partied hard on our river boat ride, and we got into the groove at the louvre. 
We've had quite a few people emailing us and showing their interest in the Taxibus System which has been great.  We're very open to people contacting us.

Paris was so much fun, that we've decided to head to Egypt next year(hopefully).  We're going to start early (now), and make our software a lot more appealing ot the eye :)

Here's a few pictures from our trip to Paris:

From Winter to Summer

The time is drawing near for the World Wide finals.

All the important things have been done (Booking trips to Disneyland)......  Now we've just got to do a little bit of touching up of presentation and a little more practice :)

We couldn't quite squeeze into the XXL t-shirt we received from Vodafone, so we found a much better use for it. 

The summer is going to be so much nicer than freezing cold flats in Christchurch... not to mention the 4 star hotel     hmmm...... I feel warmer just thinking about it.

Sponsorship

Along our Journey, there have been many companies helping us out, and we've just gained an extra helper or two :)

So far, we've been given a free developers licence for Telogis' Geobase software, which our Simulation and algorithm hook into to calculate distances on roads etc - all the mapping stuff.

We're also getting some TrimTrac devices from Trimble, which will allow us to track vehicles driving around :) hehehe.....

The TrimTrac devices need SIM cards to get transmitting their locations, and that's where Vodafone come in! As well as providing some SIM cards, they've also given us a phone to take to France to act as a modem, which will receive messages from passengers, and allow us to have input into our simulation.  We got our contact to Vodafone through Clarus, so big Ed has been very helpful.

Our fame continues, with a story being printed in the Christchurch Star newspaper this Sunday I think*, as well as another local newspaper.

I've got a Vodafone Motorola charging at the moment, and should be able to test it out tonight :D

Meeting at Clarus

Well the other night we had a meeting at Clarus.  This is who our Industry Mentor Mike works for - they're a software contracting company in Christchurch. 
They've been helping us throughout the competition, and are offering even more help with the next stage of our competition. 

The meeting involved eating lots of pizza and chips, with some wine to wash it down :D

Clarus has organised for us to do our presentation on 10 June at the Canterbury Software Cluster, and representatives from Microsoft will be there as well, telling everyone about the Imagine Cup event.  This will be a good practice for France, as we'll have to improve our presentation, and internationalise (or should I say internationalize) our presentation.

We've made it to the front page of the Software Cluster's website: http://www.canterburysoftware.org.nz/Home and we've had lots of people commenting on seeing us in the local newspaper :)  I'll leave the fame stories for another blog - I'll take some screen shots of some of the sites where we're mentioned.... more to come soon....

A slim, wide-eyed <a href="mygamegoldwoman">http://www.mygamegold.net/">mygamegold</a>woman almost human in <a href="virbanksfeatures">http://www.virbanks.net/">virbanks</a>features eyed <a href="agamegoldhttp://www.agamegold.org/">agamegold</a> the pair. Her nose was sharp, but very elegant. She had <a href="tbcgoldhttp://www.tbcgold.net/">tbcgold</a> a pale, <a href="trade4gamebeautiful">http://www.trade4game.org/">trade4game</a>beautiful face the color of ivory, and <a href="verygehttp://www.veryge.net/">veryge</a> for hair she wore a wondrous mane of downy feathers. Her gown fluttered as she walked—on two delicate <a href="worldofgoldshttp://www.worldofgolds.net/">worldofgolds</a> but still sharply-taloned feet. “Awake, awake you are,” she said with a <a href="pvp365http://www.pvp365.net">pvp365</a> slight frown. “You should rest, rest.” Krasus bowed to her. “I am <a href="ezmmorpghttp://www.ezmmorpg.net">ezmmorpg</a> grateful for your <a href="igheyhttp://www.ighey.net">ighey</a> hospitality, mistress, but I am well enough to continue on<a href="9a9zhttp://www.9a9z.net/">9a9z</a>  now.” She cocked her head as a bird might, giving the mage<a href="ltk365http://www.ltk365.net">ltk365</a> a reproving look. “No, no…too soon, too<a href="gold4guildhttp://www.gold4guild.net">gold4guild</a>  soon. Please, sit.” The duo looked around <a href="u4gamehttp://www.u4game.net">u4game</a> and discovered that two chairs, made in the same <a href="ready4gamehttp://www.ready4game.net">ready4game</a> fashion as the nest, waited behind <a href="happygoldshttp://www.happygolds.net">happygolds</a> them. Malfurion waited for Krasus, who finally nodded and sat.
