FIFA are idiots

Continuing the trend, FIFA are idiots. At least if what Kulula.com airline are saying about them is true.
Seriously? We can't use the SA Flag, a soccer ball, a vuvuzela or even the word South Africa now?
Well, if 6000.co.za can be the Unofficial...
Mweb is everything that’s wrong

With internet in SA.
Not 15 minutes ago I posted a blog about Mweb's Uncapped offering.
As I've been sitting and thinking about it - and reading comments all over the intertubes, I've been filled with a peculiar form of Nerdrage (which is what happens whenever I think about internet in SA).
Mweb really is everything that's wrong with the internet in this...
Mweb Uncapped
Posted by Rob March 18, 2010, under South Africa | 1 Comment |
Mweb today announced that they would be offering uncapped ADSL (to the tune of 384k) for R219 per month, an amount which is yards lower than any other in South Africa.
But what does this bold new move by Mweb mean for you?
If you're anything like me, absolutely nothing.
In short, Mweb's new package is one that tailors to those people who may have heard...
The ANCYL (and the media) are idiots
Posted by rob March 17, 2010, under South Africa | No Comments |
The ANC Youth League made the news again today as they threatened South African Journalists with a revelation of personal information about their lives, business dealings and even credit worthiness. The journalists have launched official complaints against the ANCYL amid more abuse from Mr Shivambu and friends.
What a complete cockup.
I mean really. We seem to be being...
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, some good came out of the evening. I've taken to wondering if I shouldn't use this opportunity to expand the site as I've...
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.
It needs to be:
PHP/Flash based
Integrated with the forums (one login, one username)
Have customisable smilies
Look good and run well
Wish me luck. Frustrations no doubt...
Twitter today revealed their brand new advertising scheme.
I managed to capture this screenshot before Twitter crack squads came and asked me politely to stop.
Not too bad really. Less intrusive than some.

Accountability me

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. Every night I will be sitting here working. Without fail.
First comes dementia.co.za, then blognation.co.za and after that... I dunno.
If anyone feels like bugging me every day about work, that'd be swell.

Blog redesign
Posted by Rob March 13, 2010, under Nothing Much | 2 Comments |
Hooray, I've changed the layout and functionality of the blog as well as installed a lovely little theme that I think looks much better.
Now I just need to start blogging a whole lot more. Someone want to help me out with that?

It's not often that I backpedal (how could I when I'm never wrong?) but today is one such occasion.
*pause for collective gasp to die down*
Initially I was *cough* skeptical about @BecauseI and her wiley way of getting a mere 500 people to buy her a car at the princely sum of R260 a head (in case you're American, that's $34.99).
In my world, people who deserve it hardly ever ask and those who...
