Afrigator Beta2.0 - Content and usability


Next thing on the list is the content. If you look at the home page, the news page, the blogs page and the podcasts page, you will see various tabs. It is the various ways we decided to organize content. On the front page, for example we have 4 tabs.

Spammers offer nothing for R1 plus postage and packaging


A little while back, Deal A Day got their fingers burnt when they SPAMMED the wrong people. Simon made a big fuss about it and word spread and action was taken. Deal A Day’s hosting of their site was suspended by their hosts Centeq (word up! and thanx to The Plonk) and they had to move. Today I got a notification that their advertising campaign on Offerforge came ....

A really great music video!


This music video by the band called “Straatligkinders” (Afrikaans for Street Light Children) is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a long, long time.

This morning I got a flurry of chats popping up as soon as I opened Facebook. The new chat feature went live. Well, for me it went live this morning as it is the first time i’ve seen it and I’m not a huge Facebook fan. Vince mentioned to me “this changes everything”. Although it pains me to say so, it truly does! Henre said, “yeah it ....

Rails podcast - Smalltalk web framework sounds intriguing


I’ve just listened to the Ruby on Rails podcast where they interviewed Avi Bryant from Seaside, which is a web framework developed in Smalltalk. I’m no Smalltalk guru, but I know it is quite a mature object orientated language so it does sound very interesting! Specially due to the fact that the framework not only eliminates SQL, but also the HTML! That and the fact that it allows for ....
