Telkom is awesome.

In a week we are moving houses. We have a list of things that need to be sorted before we move. So, one of the things on the list is moving our phone line/ADSL. I have a one price ADSL from cybersmart so I can take advantage of their Night

The sheep are in control

It is my current desktop, feel free to do what you want with it (you can even click on it and download it). I made it for my dual head 1280x1024 set up at work. The animals pictured inhabit our bathroom at home.

What WeatherSA could have done right

Weather SA is promoing it's new and "contemporary" website. Twitter has been a-filled with comments about exactly how badly the new website has been executed (maimed, murder, or vomitted would be equally applicable).

Internal knowledge, or, make it easier for others to participate

Responsible reporting (or, sorry for being a doos, ClickThinking)

Yesterday I posted about how a local web company recently sold the work of a well known, local, independent web professional. What they did broke netiquette, ethics, and definitely copyright law. Much geek froth and outrage occurred, and a tiny storm broke out on the internet. I jumped on the

Blame it on the Tetons [snip]

Finley very much enjoys when we play Modest Mouse (usually very loud), and goes nuts for a track called 'The View'. He dances like crazy and screams a lot (in a lets tear the roof off this party kind of way). This post isn't about Finley's music taste though, it
