Incredible Connection are idiots

Posted by Rob June 25, 2010, under Personal | 1 Comment

The avid reader will notice a trend with most of my blog posts. I choose an idiot and I blog about them. It's a simple formula and the subjects usually provide themselves pretty easily. I don't think anyone would argue that there's a dearth of idiocy around. Today it's Incredible Connection.   I guess it's partially [...]

The End of Lost (spoilers)

Posted by rob May 24, 2010, under Personal | 2 Comments

At the moment I'm a little torn. I'm not sure whether to feel upset or happy but I'm guessing it'll settle on a mixture of both.   On one hand, I don't feel as screwed over as the Wachowski Wangs made me feel. But on the other, I'm left with a sort of empty feeling. [...]

Bad Movies (Part 1)

Posted by rob May 20, 2010, under Personal | No Comments

When I work I inevitably watch bad movies. It helps me pass the time and I know I don’t have to spare too much attention in order to get by.   So far I’ve had: Deep Blue Sea – 5/10 Terrible plot, horrible CGI but Samuel L Jackson has a great moment. Screamers – 3/10 [...]

I’ve learned two things

Posted by rob May 14, 2010, under Personal | No Comments

I don’t need anything more than 4 hours of sleep a night. Kick ass.   It’s taken me a while to arrive at this conclusion because it takes some time to form the effective habits that allow me to do this. Now I manage another 6 hours of work every night. How awesome is that? [...]

Kicking my own ass today

Posted by rob May 9, 2010, under Personal, Technological Prowess | No Comments

So, I’ve been working on and off on a number of sites that are my own personal projects (as if I didn’t have enough to do).   Lately though, I’ve been slacking a little – hence the stagnation that is BlogNation.co.za. No more of that though. This is the time that I’ve started working.   [...]

So, I need to become a billionaire.

Posted by rob May 1, 2010, under Personal | No Comments

billionaire ( ) n. A person whose wealth amounts to at least a billion dollars, pounds, or the equivalent in other currency.   I decided last night that I need to become a billionaire. It's not all that crazy is it?   Well, perhaps just a little. Still, it gives me something to aim for. [...]

Jazzed

Posted by Rob April 17, 2010, under Personal | No Comments

Sitting here at Smokey Swallows, I’m somehow reminded of being at the concert of an aging rockstar. Interesting, a little syncopated and just a touch too loud. Generally speaking, I love jazz and this is no exception. These guys are good, heavy even. If I were the type I would even be tempted to call [...]

Julius Malema is right #uniteSA

Posted by Rob April 8, 2010, under Personal, South Africa | 6 Comments

  As much as it pains me to say it and to move off the #ignorejulius campaign, I have to admit that he's kinda right. (and yes, I expect some flak for this opinion)   Not, perhaps, in the way he says things or the manner in which he'd prefer to fix the problems he [...]

Extremists are assholes #uniteSA

Posted by rob April 4, 2010, under Personal, South Africa | No Comments

No matter which side of the fence they fall on, extremists are universally assholes. The recent murder of AWB leader Eugene Terre’blanche really proves that point.   In a situation where the police are certain the murder was not politcally motivated and the family of Eugene Terre’blanche themselves have welcomed Cele into their home and [...]

A note to ISPs (a rant)

Posted by rob March 31, 2010, under Personal, South Africa | 2 Comments

Listen up and listen good.   I’ve reached the end of my tether with what appears to be a disregard for the truth. Every single ISP (and that includes one of my friends running a small local ISP) is now offering Uncapped at never-before-seen prices.   Here’s a newsflash for all you: If there’s a [...]
