Nice little #opendata win - Worked with the fine folk at @govtnz@DataGovtNz to get National Dogs Database dog breeds & colours released as open data. Consumable as an API direct off the data.govt.nz platform - now all TAs can make use of this! catalogue.data.govt.nz/datas…
Plum blossoms are out at the moment. My annual signal to make lots of homemade ramen noodles. Been a while since I regularly tweeted so if your here for food and digital public services content you've come to the right place 😆 🍜 💻
Progress on the ramen. It takes some initial mahi upfront on the foundations (noodles, broth etc). Pays off when you have all the components and can assemble in any configuration to suit people's needs/tastes... Oh did I just draw a parallel between ramen and govt as a platform?
Friday was my last day at @InternetNZ (remote leaving do was a first 😆) big thanks to the team at INZ! Got a week break then heading to... @WgtnCC Smart Council team 🤓 (likely remote onboarding, also a first). Excited to return to digital public services, local govt edition 👍
