This must be a good day for me. I think I’ve just found where to stay! I was looking at PrivateProperty.co.za and I found a place just round the corner from where I want to stay, at just under what I’m wanting to pay (including levy and electricity). Its about 3-5km from Christie’s work, and on […]

MS Codenames
If you’re into the MS technologies, you’ll probably have started to notice that Microsoft are starting to push their “next versions” already. Their codenames are being thrown around in newsgroups, blogs, and development sites: Longhorn (with Inigo, Avalon (including XAML), and the “third pillar of Longhorn” which I can’t remember), Whidbey, Yukon. I even saw […]
Volunteer Gopher/Thug wanted
Weddings are not simple things to organise. Right now mine is sucking up all my free time. (And I’m not even that involved in the organisation) For the next few weeks my saturdays are pretty much fully booked, and I need to be looking for a place to stay. Hence the need for a “gopher”, […]
Photo Galleries
A while ago I played around with my own photo gallery, it was kinda cool coz you didn’t have to make the HTML for each page, and it used XML files to describe the images and “sub galleries”, and it basically just required you to dump a whole bunch of images in a folder, and […]

Fun links
Fun links from BoingBoing.net: “High-speed, slo-mo videos of various foodstuffs being shot” direct link here or via BoingBoing. An interesting method that spammers (might) use to get valid e-mail addresses to send spam from. (yet another reason to hate porn) via BoingBoing QTVRs from Cambodia via BoingBoing
Social Networking Software
Recently a friend found out about “social networking software” (not that he called it by that name)… It was yet another implementation of the whole “Six degrees” idea. I first saw it with the “original” SixDegrees.com. It was a craze that hit in my 3rd/honours year at varsity. Everyone linked up… But then the network […]
So much “stuff”, so little time
I was reading on a stack of blogs today about the various people in the US who have been made MVP’s. It seems to be quite an honour… Which got me thinking again about my developer community involvement in SA. A while ago I was very keen to get involved, but then just trying to keep […]
Technicalities, Legalities and Stupidities
I just read Tim Marman’s blog entry about a poor kid called “Mike Rowe”, who registered “MikeRoweSoft.com“… now he’s being sued by Microsoft for copyright infringement! [more info] Look, you probably find that the kid registered the name with a kinda “tongue in cheek” motive, but really – to sue him for it? I mean, […]
