We had the alarm set this morning. We got breakfast on our way to the stadium at Hornby at about 9.00. Once there, we did some tidying up and finished a couple of things off. Then it was off to the Iversen Terrace stadium. We commenced the Datascore / Sportskeep migration there, which took a couple of hours. There were a few rumbles that shook the whole building, from the train going past. Then there was one that felt a bit different – so we experienced a tremor while we were there! After about 15 minutes we were shown on line the details of it – a 3.9 quake not too far away. We had joked that we’re going to Japan and Christchurch which are both earthquake zones – and we did actually feel one in the trip.

Once finished it was back to Hornby to fluff around, and eventually do the presentation to the Action group, of the new Sportskeep, and also Datascore. It was received very well. We then had a sit in the bar for some more social discussion, where we think we managed to convince a couple of people to buy Datascore. We’re never going to make large amounts of money in New Zealand, so it won’t be our focal market, but if it gives us some cash flow while developing enhancements for the Japan market, then it’s worth pursuing a bit.

We eventually left the stadium and were both quite hungry, so we found a pizza place, got some drinks, and went back to the hotel room. There we started making a list of what we have to do in as far as promised installs and fixes at stadiums, and dates that we had to do them in. We also talked about some of the work that we have to do, which we really need to get in our tracking system to prioritise. Once I wrote out a calendar, it was quite overwhelming. It’s going to be a busy time ahead. But as Brett said – if getting rich was easy, everybody would be doing it! Now it will just be a matter of will it all pan out in the end, but we’re committed to give it our best efforts. We decided to do something different, and get to bed at a decent time – so we had crashed by about 12.30.
