(This is a long blog post but each thought runs into each other). Ok, I was a bit rash in my previous blog post. I got a pretty good suggestion from James that I could get stoned :-). Too late becaise I have already started with the medical aid broker as a non-smoker... and as a side note, I've never had a 'joint' despite all the ...

Essentially, I want to open this blog post to ask: what weird and wacky things have you done on public transport? I'm running out of ideas on civil things to do. Let me recite on what I tried to do today: while on the bus, I was trying to plan the day ahead of me (hey, it is an hour on the road). Little did I expect that while you are travelling ...

This is the emotion that I am feeling right now: frustration. To fill the readers in, I have been offered two jobs in the United States. Both of them sounding very promising to add a nitric boost to my career. I am not going to say where I left off in my thought process but it came a reality that I simply cannot enter the USA with a visa that ...

To get the international guys up to speed, I pledged to www.sadeveloper.net a while ago that I was going to be “witty, daring and incredibly stupid.” Well, when I first said that, the plan was to bombard a radio station to make an announcement (a subtle one) that will solve my commuting problem. Let's say that statement is also true on ...

Edit: fixed hyperlink. Yes, it is a very important thing in my life so mind you :-). The most important thing that I want to say is that it is amazing how true things are from the stories you hear, which things are not true and best of all, which things are exagratted between leeps and bounds. Basically, a little run-down on the company that I ...

Allow me to introduce my current MSN display name: “Smile,” they said, “things could be worse.” ... they were right -- it did get worse. Sigh. It must be nature's calling not to allow me to finish this project. However, I am determined to finish it -- I have ducted-tape quite a bit of “resources.” Now I am ...

Hi guys and girls, I just wanted to pop-in and say “hi!” No, I am not dead. I have experienced so much problems in the last 30 days, I do not know where to begin. One of my starting positions is that I am not blogging from my own PC (anymore? Read on more details below) so this will be a rushed blog post so please mind the misspells ...

About last week, I got very strange traffic in my inbox. On Sunday, I got an email from Ernst asking if the rumour that I live “[and work]” in Durban. I replied. Precisely 12 hours later, I get an email from Stuart. What do these guys have in common? They are the Durban leads for the www.sadeveloper.net site. After getting to chat a ...

I am furious! Until recently, polotics has not been my thing but now I am back! I just logged on, got my email and did my things with the emails. I planned to spend about 15 minutes here and when I finished doing all of my responding and filing, (without reading a single .NET article ), I had five minutes to spare. So why not just go read the ...
