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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

I’m about to embark on an adventure of stunning tastelessness. Over this weekend I’ll be cooking around 3kg of venison. The catch? It has to be pretty bland in order to cater for the tastes of my mom and pop in law. Any suggestions? (Boiling is not a suggestion)
Tonight has been a bit of a bust for me. I managed to get some big things fixed that have been bugging me on www.dementia.co.za but that’s about it. I had hoped to upgrade the chat and make it super sexy but not so much at this time. Hope nobody mobs me for that. Fortunately, [...]
Tonight’s work is all about communication. While I spent some of last night getting Twitter feeds working for my forum (yay!) – my mission as it stands now is to get a good, solid and customizable chat software suite running.

Seriously. I haven’t worked on sites in a while – with the exception of this one that is. And I haven’t even started editing the NaNoWriMo book for June. Blah. So now I’m determined.

Almost everyone has heard about the controversy surrounding the Kevin Smith/South West Airlines debacle but just in case you haven’t, here’s the skinny: Kevin Smith (a large lad) had booked two seats on a South West flight – he changed his flight and SWA seated him in a single (because there wasn’t space) and then [...]
