So yes, I haven’t uploaded a blog in a few days. I did draft them, promise – I just haven’t had anything that I think needs publishing. So counts! Anyhoo, the time has been used productively. I have another client and I have ideas for three new sites. Woo! Anyone know a tame lawyer?
Time to stock up on the noodles, blow dust off the DVD player and invest in some tighter belts. So far my car has blown her head gasket, my wife’s car is making death rattle noises, my cell phone turns itself off every five minutes and we’ve got to choke out around sixteen grand to [...]
I watched Rugby yesterday and (very surprisingly) I enjoyed it. Anyone who actually knows me knows I am certainly not a sports fan. In fact, I’d go so far as to say I’m not a fan of most sport. But actually watching the game yesterday (RSA vs Lions) was pretty cool. Despite the fact that [...]
Fek. Arse. Shit. Balls. The car is not fixed. The bloody head gasket blew so now I’m way back at square one faced with the horrible certainty of a lighter wallet. Not only that – I have to make a decision. Do I attempt some self-repair (cheaper, may not work) or take her in to [...]
Been to a braai. Fun times but oy, what a night. I’m very tired now and have a long day of fiddling to look forward to tomorrow. Oy indeed.
Yep. I have writer’s block. I can’t for the life of me think of something interesting enough to blog about so you get this post instead. My most humble apologies to my three readers. The thing is, I often get this way and it’s one of the reasons I haven’t yet finished a book that [...]
No really. I have two so I’ve had some time to observe them. At the best of times they’re peculiar little beasts. A strange blend of cute, sweetness and evil-minded viciousness that puts the worst overbearing parents to shame. Some of them are also not very good at being cats. A case in point is [...]
Just a quick bit on a couple of movies. I just finished watching Marley & Me with my wife and it’s a surprisingly good watch. I really went into it expecting a typical Owen Wilson comedy dive but it really came up with some surprisingly genuine emotion. Well worth a watch. The other thing that [...]

I’ve always liked this expression and having been a long-standing fan of Ponty Mython I’ve known a few different ways to say it. It is usually the first thing I ask someone I’ve become familiar with if they happen to speak any other languages. Omniglot has taken it one step further. I present to you, [...]

Tonight I cooked supper. This is something that’s becoming increasingly common as I find my way around the kitchen and get more comfortable with food. Most of the time my wife does the cooking as she genuinely enjoys it and is very good at it. Tonight was my turn as she was making Bran muffins [...]
