Interests


These are loosely described below.

Inventing & Testing Various Inventions, Research & Develop Analogue Multi-Ch Surround Sound Systems.
Or can often Modify & Convert almost anything else, often just to make something "WORK" ? Differently.!

Plus .. we "PLAY_WITH_MUSIC" .. as often as possible, whilst tweeking our analogue surround systems.

Our original "QUick_fIX" (2002) QUIX©TM website, that (unfortunately), a Telecom NZ technician didn't
correctly provision our domain name WEBSITE TLD/URL onto (back in 2002), has since undergone many
different hosting-site changes, until correctly provisioned by ourselves, (as it was always) FULLY visible).!
Therefore our Trade Mark/Brand/Logo is fully visble via our 2002 registered http://QUIX.co.nz TLD/URL. .

Unfortunately, until we were FINALLY given full access to our 2002 Domain Namespace Dashboard in 2013 
(after the 2012 Domain Name dispute - JUST TEN YEARS AFTER WE REGISTERED THE BRAND URL), 
we weren't unable to correct Telecom's original incorrect provisioning.
Thus for around ten or eleven years, it was ONLY viewable if Google searched correctly:
Done by searching for it's phonetically-written original "long_speak" URL web-name of QUIXdotCOdotNZ
Something that it still terminates into (even though it is now hosted via an updated WordPress hosting site).

Access can still be obtained by Googling for the "original long.speak" (phonetic spelling method) via the direct 
search method of entering our 2002 sub.domain URL thereof (at): https://QUIXdotCOdotNZ.wordpress.com

Unlike our "QUick_fIX-IT" (QUIX-IT)©TM "Kiwi" method, which (using our shortened TLD / URL instead), 
Also now makes it easier to find this again at WORDPRESS via: http://QUIX.kiwi (now that's better - 4U.C).

Thus our BIG IDEA 2007 website (here), actually verifies our EXACT SAME "header 2002 picture" that we
uploaded, long ago, onto our original website in 2002 (that Telecom couldn't provision our 2002 TLD upon).

Here we allow you to thus also read about this "THE BIG IDEA" website page, on our "QUIX.co.nz" website
By redirecting you back here via SEVERAL alternative URL/TLD's that we now own for this purpose too
Thus our 2002 website THERE on WordPress, talks about this profile of our's, HERE at THE BIG IDEA itself.
With special "ping backs" which act both ways, (to let you swap between them) via: http://www.QUIXtm.co.nz
And http://QUIX.co.nz &/or http://QUIX.kiwi = https://quixdotcodotnz.wordpress.com/
We also set one up - to direct you to our TERMS AND CONDITIONS page via: http://WSTLNZ™.co.nz
Where you will blatantly see - NO ONE is allowed use of our 2002 MARK (not even plumbers in Auckland).

HERE, you can discover our other URL's on alternative websites, via our original THE BIG IDEA blog page.
Which exists inside THE BIG IDEA "master" (modernized) webpage, that keeps all of our 2007 information.

Information critical to our future musical aspirations and products, originally visible on the website of theirs
https://www.thebigidea.nz/profile/quix-nz/12118 (which has dissapeared through a broken [old-link] chain) !
And broke our [old-link] for http://www.thebigidea.co.nz/connect/recommended-links/recommended-websites

But our redirection TLD URL's, which we created to shorten your way, into our t/a BRAND / MARK here ?
Reconfigure them into QUIX - NZ's (Waitaki Sound Technologies Limited, NZ) website, via: The Big Idea.


 

Who are we?


WE ARE DEFINITELY NOT SOME "JOHNNY COME LATELY PLUMBERS" - up in - AUCKLAND.
Who (in 2012) malisciously attempted to pervert the 2002 Trade Mark's Act.
By circumnavigating the NORMAL court action claim routes - for NZ Trade Mark Disputes.
By abusing instead, the NZ Domain Name Commission's "Domain Name Dispute Service" - ?
Done in a vain (cheap-skate) attempt to hi-jack our LEGAL useages of all of our 1965 Trade Marks , 
Brands & Logos as well as attempting to "steal" (for want of a better word) our several well known,
Telephone Word Numbers, Vehicle Rego Personalised Plate & blog-sites around the world, which we'd made

Yes - it was something NASTY, done in what we consider a very evil hi-jacking way, that we never invisaged:
But although it has been of some consternation (in the recent past) as well as costly to defend in that manner,
It has also been "a lot of mirth" to have been cyber-attacked in this manner, especially as they send US emails
of their haphazard plumbing mistakes and customer complaints - via aliases they are NOT authorised to abuse.

At least - since being proven as the rightful owner's of http://QUIX.co.nz - now that we can all laugh about this
(until someone else, TRIES a similar underhanded method, of impinging upon our NZ Trade Mark "rights").

As can be "read", via the NZ Domain Name Commision's 2012 "final" descision: http://www.nzlii.org/nz/cases/NZDNC/2012/789.html

Proving beyond ANY shadow of doubt - that WAITAKI SOUND TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED NEW ZEALAND
Is indeed - QUIX™ and has used http://QUIX.co.nz as it's master website - since 2002.
And many years prior to our incorporation in 1999 - by our company owner (used in private business since 1965)

The original "name" that we created many years before
(and have used continously AND contiguously with & thus alongside, our NZ Company "owners" own rights),
was something that some people haven't fully understood (even to this day), that it was NOT just a mere
copyright infringement, but an infringement upon an "active BUSINESS (trading) name", which thus wasn't just
"about" our gate hinge patents (although they were called QUIX HINGES), but was ALSO specifically thus named,
to co-incide with the (other) "pivotal business services" that we undertook, in a "CENTRALISED" fashion,
which we performed, from within our general "company" structure,
which just happened to be based here, in "Central" Otago, New Zealand.

Hence the "term" of: HINGE = pivotal, SERVICES = all those we thus offer, CENTRAL = "obviously",
& "LIMITED (NZ)" = being that it was a limited Liability Company - registered in 1999, (here in New Zealand.).

Also various recycling acronyms, we associated our QUICK-FIX (QUIX) brand / trading as / product "logo" towards.
Were at that same time - malisciously ATTACKED, and attempts made, - to pilpher from us, our vast useages thereof.

Hence - all will be revealed.. if you do a general web search on our reconfigured 2002 TLD www.QUIX.co.nz
Which had been misconfigured by our 2002 ISP, and thus was beyond our control to remedy, until recently.!
Unless one did an "exactly-worded"(phonetically similar) generic "long-speak" spelt website version thereof.
Via our original search term re: "QUIXdotCOdotNZ" (just search "everything between the quotation" marks)

It was our way of saying - why you should always: SWIM (in the internet) "BETWEEN THE FLAGS"
When searching for any of our (brand / mark / named) "QUIX, QUIXNZ, QUIX4U &/or QUIX-NZ" tags.

Or..?
Go direct, to ANY of our many web-blogs, as found all across the internet, or you can FindA "all of them".
Via - yes that old NZ Business directory web-host site of FindA (it still works - even though it's never used)

Where you can still easily find us by starting at FINDA (whilst searching their website - for: "QUIX-NZ").
Or go there directly (to the old FindA web-hosting) via http://QUIX-NZ.com visible from 2006 onwards.

Another of our original interactive websites, was a creatively complex, but brilliant BLOGSPOT "blog" !!!
(although we have thus created about seven or eight "more" of them, over the years, somewhere there also)
Thus our 2006 web-blog (of note) is this one, we quote (as): http://quix-3d-tripello-on-line.blogspot.co.nz/

Whereas the first, is our registered NZ TLD URL "QUIXdotCodotNZ" (now hosted at our Wordpress site)
Note: "quix .co .nz" was designed to work as our own NZ Company's TLD URL Hybrid-Mail MX Server.!
Which we thus did rapidly expand, by including this as a tourist/worker's "temporary service" (from 2002).

The original website for that - is still accessed, by our very latest NZ (based) TLD / URL "bookmarks" of:
http://QUIX.kiwi &/or a variety of other TLD URL's or tiny cc'd links, that I can't be bothered finding 2nyt

As to regards our own NZ Made "product" sales. We occasionally offer & sell items (from within NZ) ?
Via our 2 "QUICK_FIX" TradeMe acc's (accessed by method of self-created) shortened URL bookmarks).

ie:
http://tiny.cc/QUIXNZ_Trademe (Being QUIXNZ's main trading account, on TradeMe)
or:
http://tiny.cc/WSTLNZ_Trademe (Being our "other branded": WSTLNZ, on TradeMe)

Or .. If you don't want to go off-site (to look elsewhere). For sure.. simply come back into ?
THE BIG IDEA ... Via our extremely unique TRADEMARK  (ultra short) URL - which is :
(A "truly" QUICK TO FIX = QUIX  ... Redirected URL "bookmark"):

http://QUIXtm.co.nz

It will bring you back here.. to our re-publicised (THE BIG IDEA) member profile page.
 


 

Personal Description

QUIX© stands for QUICK=FIX©™, or QUICK-TO-FIX©™, or just QUICKLY.FIX©™ (etc.).
It also directly relates to our "NZ Company owner's "own" musical bent (of 1965):
Q.uantum U.nits of I.nnovative e.X.ponentials (found in any 2ch stereo recording, playable at that time - or since then)

Maybe it could even relate to our ability to QUI(ck) "X" .. where the X factor could (literally) mean anything ?.!!!
Such as something eXpertly done.. or just for some eXpert advice, (that is given to others).

Hence:
Our generic Trading Brand Names, as "coined expressions", products labelled, "maker/manufacturer's name" &/or (our) t/a "Logo's, MARKS, TLD_URL "Domain Names", etc..
(all thus fully able to be copyright dated, as to when they were initially "thought of &/or written down on paper", thereby creating "automatic copyrights" upon their usages)

QUIX©™(1965) &/or QUIX4U©™(1985) &/or QUIXNZ©™(1999) = QUIX - NZ©™(2008)
Now also known as WSTLNZ©™(2012)

Note:
2012, was the date that our 1999 registered NZ Company, was "name changed" (at the NZ Companies Office, although we can still "legally", use our old "original name" as well)

Thus:
We are now known internationally as:
Waitaki Sound Technologies Ltd, New Zealand
= WSTLNZ©™(2012) &/or "QUIX.co.nz"©™(2002) &/or "as our original" QUIXNZ©™(1999)

Whilst still being known by our previous (original) name of:
Hinge Services Central Limited, New Zealand ... t/a QUIX©™(1999).

Here's something we never invisaged:
But although it has been of some consternation (in the recent past), it has also been "a lot of mirth" to have been cyber-attacked in this manner.
Now that we can all laugh about this (until someone else, TRIES a similar underhanded method, of impinging upon our "rights").
As can be "read-of", via the NZ Domain Name Commision's "final" descision: https://dnc.org.nz/drs/decisions/789

Proving beyond ANY shadow of doubt - that WAITAKI SOUND TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED NEW ZEALAND
Is indeed - QUIX™ and has used http://QUIX.co.nz as it's master website - since 2002.

The original "name" that we created many years before (and have used continously AND contiguously with & thus alongside, our NZ Company "owners" own rights, was something that some people haven't fully understood (even to this day), that it was NOT just a mere copyright infringement, but an infringement upon an "active BUSINESS (trading) name", which thus wasn't just "about" our gate hinge patents (although they were called QUIX HINGES), but was ALSO specifically thus named, to co-incide with the (other) "pivotal business services" that we undertook, in a "CENTRALISED" fashion, which we performed, from within our general "company" structure, which just happened to be based here, in "Central" Otago, New Zealand.
(hence the "term" of: HINGE = pivotal, SERVICES = all those we thus offer, CENTRAL = "obviously", & "LIMITED (NZ)" = being that it was a limited Liability Company - registered in 1999, here in New Zealand.).
And the various recycling acronyms, that we "also" associated our QUICK-FIX (QUIX) brand / trading as / product "names" towards.
...

Now:
In regards to our: Interests (at) QUIXNZ™ & QUIX4U™ = QUIX - NZ™ & WSTLNZ™ (& a lot of other "coined expression names")

We are (now) known as:
Waitaki Sound Technologies Ltd, NZ
...
We delve into, make & expand on our RANGE of "Deplexer_Decoders" which can be custom_designed (for you) for multiple_channels across 3D & 4D "analogue" SURROUND SOUND "audio" systems .. which are also MADE by us, & "can" be installed - by us (although we'd prefer a younger "fitter" sub.contractor, to be employed by you, do this sort of manual labouring WORK)

Note: 
Our company owner discovered initially 6chs, then almost immediately thereafter - 7chs, of PASSIVE "analogue" surround_sound, away back in 1965.
(purely by accident, when he was barely 12 yrs old).
And thus he has been personally & professionally R&D testing his theories, and thus creating EVEN_BIGGER "passive & active" systems .. ever since.
Whilst also creating many "educational" (cell-phone & windows movie maker) videos for showing on youtube (etc.) of the visual and audio results thus attained.

Thus, WSTLNZ (& therefore also QUIXNZ) & also the owner thereof, do in business, & "personally" HOLD copyrights &/or NZ., Aust., & World Patents - for unrelated inventions in other "realms"
(such as for recycled products, and/or new products made from them.. re: "Multi_Pouches", "Wire Clips" & "Agricultural Type Hinges" ... etc., )

Our BIGGEST idea to date.. ?
Is slowly becoming more and more a distinct possibility..

That of having our own audio production products & operations, built & completed "right here", in New Zealand.
(by being "WSTLNZ" - & by being based, as we are - in the "Waitaki Electorate", of NZ)

Where (hopefully) with the assistance of a brilliant USA amplifier & technical designer, whom we met & discussed mutual inovative ideas with, and whom is currently expanding his own made products, and thus his (own) USA based business, where he resides and is currently based, in Port Townsend, WA. (USA), whom we may "eventually", be able to entice back "here" (into beautiful NZ) to thus be producing some of our "own designed" multiple surround sound products, and or complete audio systems, whilst hopefully even creating new and different items, on a regular basis. (with both local sales & exports in mind).

Especially now that we know (for certain) that there is a suitable amplifier out there.. that we could eventually make use of "directly and indirectly", within our own audio systems.?

In the meantime .. we can all read about them & their progress (as posted on the USA website, of that manufacturer)..
And we even listen to the audio clips, that were made (by a professional guitarist) with one of their amplifiers.

How ..?
Easy - by utilising  another one our own unique (QUIX - NZ) WSTLNZ redirection TLD URL "bookmarks"
Being this one:
http://WSTLNZ.com

PLEASE NOTE.

We are not affiliated with, nor do we have any direct commercial activity with:
Quimper Electronic Systems LLC (in Washington, USA)

We only provide "our" direct access [LINK], which is provisioned to enable ourselves (and thus you) to easily find their USA website, by just using our NZ Company "initials".

But there's a twist.
The way we have "provisioned this" allows you to go "direct" to any /sub-page/ (deep) inside their site, by taggin it onto the BACK of our TLD URL
ie:
Not just as: http://WSTLNZ.com
But as:
http://WSTLNZ.com/terms.htm (or) http://WSTLNZ.com/dealers.htm (or) http://WSTLNZ.com/xpa150a.htm
Where you will see - that there's a picture in there, (of their amplifier module) which is similar to ours, with 2 of the same people
(as our picture "shown on our showcase" article)

Thus
A specific set of T&C’s relate to their USA website &/or for their own products.
(as they are currently ONLY being made, & sold, into North America)

Direct access (for ourselves, and thus for you too now) is obtainable via our WSTLNZ “floating” Domain URL bookmark.
Being that of: WSTLNZ.com

(which just auto-redirects directly onto, & thus into, the homepage of: "QES = Quimper Electronic Systems”, WA, USA).

Please note:
THE SPECIFIC TERMS & CONDITIONS ON THE QES "USA" WEBSITE.

Please read them as they are extremely site-specific to: “Quimper Electronic Systems” LLC, WA, USA.

For those who want to "hear" their guitar,
Without hearing the amp's internal noise.

Listen to this, when you go visit
http://www.quimperelectronic.com/ 
To hear their sample "clip" produced by their latest (portable/buskers) amp version.
ie:
http://www.quimperelectronic.com/sound/mcm_demo_web.mp3

Cheers,
From:
WSTLNZ™
t/a:
QUIX™
(since 1999 = all across NZ, as well as around the globe)

Don't be fooled by imitations of our trading "mark" (brand), abused since 2010 by some "plumbers", up in Auckland.
There is ONLY one QUICK FIX (QUIX™) brand useage of QUIX™ - licenced by it's original 1965 Trade Name creator,
That is entitled /licenced to use QUIX™ in New Zealand - from 1999 onwards
And that is/was Hinge Services Central Limited NZ (1999)
Renamed as:
Waitaki Sound Technologies Limited NZ (in 2012)

& It's now therefore fully licenced as ours
(as it was also previously used "in business", as the company owner's personal trading brand, since being coined from "Quick-FIx" in 1965).

As for our current FIFTEEN variants of QUIX™
