http://nonprophet.org.za/blog Mon, 31 Mar 2008 23:56:34 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Here's a repost of an article I wrote for Africans.co.za in 2004, seeing as we're close to that time of year when we get to choose the ones who will lead us... enjoy: It's that time of year again, when we get to vote for the people who'll be in ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/104 Ten years ago Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule, Tony Blair was elected Prime Minister of Britain, Titanic made box-office history, Jacko had a son with Debbie Rowe, Princess Diana, Mother Theresa, and Gianni Versace all kicked it for the last time and Eric Clapton got the record of the ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/102 I'm not sure what the deal with these mounties are, but it can only come down to one of a few things: Given the ridiculous cost of petrol the City Council is trying to save a bunch by using hay fuelled vehicles instead. Due to the narrow streets in and around Green ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/97 You know your employer is looking after you when you actually have a choice as to whether you're using the "over" roll or the "under" roll. http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/92 A great number of years back, when I was fit, a keen cyclist and trained every weekend, there a existed a small shop in Hout Bay that sold pies of unimaginable diversity. It was called "The Pastryman" and was run by a friendly German guy and sometimes his wife. What made ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/86 [flv:/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/SummerReunion2007.flv 320 240] How's your head doing? Good? Then you probably weren't at our Summer Reunion party on Saturday. Either that, or you left early completely avoiding Damien's shooter attack and our session of "Fives alive". It was good hooking up with Ianalieâ„¢, Chris and Est again as well as the rest ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/84 It's official! The Summer Reunion 2007 goes down this Saturday, 10 March at Wa's place. This year sees an escape from the crazy parties of the last two years and promises to be more relaxed, definitely an intimate affair. As usual, Wa's cut it tight with the sending of the ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/73 It's been rather quiet on this front hey? Nope, didn't think you'd notice. Things have been crazy busy at work and this new year appears to have brought a few changes with it... Here's a quick round-up: I've moved this domain to an international hosting provider since, like everything else, local hosting ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/67 Greetings and welcome to 2007... My year's started off with a few surprises one of them is that my web hosting with my current provider has expired and now it's time to move on... to a new host, of course. I've managed to sort something out across "The pond" and will ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/66 Merry Christmas everyone, hope the day's a good one filled with loads of Christmas cheer, great food (usually prepared by parents) and good company. Keep it safe ;) http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/65 Music has been around us for as long as we can remember. It was there to console us when we were rejected by that guy / girl we were trying to get with. It was there during the happy times, and the downright shit times. Right now, Paolo, across my desk ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/63 Looks like next year's going to be an interesting one, as far as the telecommunications industry in this country is concerned. Below follows an excerpt from a press release by GTS, I thought was worth sharing: As Goal Technology Solutions (GTS) is gearing up to take on South African telecommunications and ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/62 Most of our personal history is inherited from our folks at some point, though mostly over dinners or lunches and other family gatherings. Some of the time it's embarrassing, like when your folks bring out the pics of you with an afro as a kid or the buckteeth you rocked ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/61 I'm not one of these people, like my Dad, who can argue the front, back and side of a political view. I have no inclination nor interest in politics of any kind (which includes those associated with family gatherings and the like). Who needs that shit? As a South African living ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/60 I played at a 30th birthday in Milnerton last weekend. Here are few things I learnt from that experience... Everyone has a favourite song Everybody expects to hear their favourite song upon requesting it with the DJ Everyone expects the DJ to have their favourite song and also find the time to play ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/59 Are you an IT professional? Yes? No? Who cares! We need your input. You see, the wife is slaving away at the studies again and one of her projects calls for a sampling of "real data", so being the incredibly good husband I am... I created a little survey. Here's where ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/58 This via the official press release: "The latest version of MXit, version 5.0, is available for download from noon on Monday 25 September 2006 with the company expecting over 50 000 downloads of the software in the first day." Paedophiles around the country were intially excited about this prospect, though Herman Heunis, ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/57 One year ago nonprophet.org.za was started out of the dusty remains of what was known as digitalsewer�. It was created to escape a formula, albeit unique, which had grown tired and was in desperate need of an update. I needed a place where I could express myself as myself and ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/55 Summer, It's a beautiful day in the city today, definitely more than the reported 20°C. It's this kind of weather that makes me hate day being stuck inside an office, 14 floors above everything else, with the chair I've been sitting in for the last 4 hours, now a permanent part ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/54 I was awoken this morning to the sound of a thousand birds all trying to talk at the same time. Much like crazy bustle I encounter these days on the early morning train rides to work. Though, honestly, that hasn't happened much... catching the early train, that is. I've decided to ... http://nonprophet.org.za/blog/archives/52
