Some more interesting reads

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Following my post two days ago on why the Zuma decision is wrong, Pierre de Vos has written two posts on the matter on his excellent Constitutionally Speaking blog. They are really worth a read from a legal point of view - and give hope that legally challenges currently underway ...

I’m getting a Springleap tshirt from Afrigator

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

After somehow being on the Afrigreater winners list, I have just ordered my Springleap tshirt - pictured right. I'm pretty stoked :D - it's an awesome prize for a competition like this.

Starting up

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

I always have in my mind using holidays for getting personal projects finished up, but somehow I'm never quite as productive as I plan to be. So this holiday I've managed to win something (still wondering how the prizes work - Springleap shirts are cool, oh well :)), develop the new ...

Online news in South Africa

I just realised that 2010 is going to be cool

One can argue for hours about the benefits and detriments of hosting the 2010 World Cup - but anyone has to conceed that having the event on our doorstep is going to be fun. Somehow this video brough that home to me. Seen first at coda.co.za.

Getting the ball rolling

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Right. Sitting here, power just came back on - blame Eskom. Decide to try this personal blogging thing again - probably a stupid idea, but what the hell. Install Wordpress (again), install theme (note to self - make a new one) - start writing first post. How does a first post ...
