How many of us set goals for ourselves when the new year came and rang the death knell of the old? How many of us promised a year of prosperity, health, well being, and success? How many of us swore off of our vices and decided that this year was going to be the one [...]

I would rate the Metallica albums as follows, bottom of the list is probably Kill Em All, followed by St. Anger, S&M, Garage Inc, Ride the Lightning, Justice for All, Re-Load, Load, Metallica (Black), and Master of Puppets. So where would I place Death Magnetic? That’s an awfully good question.

Today we had a braai, to celebrate national braai day, or Heritage Day as the idiots in the parliament would call it. As seems to be relatively usual with my closest friends, after the charred sacrifice to the gods of flame had been consumed, we retired away from the womenfolk, who had decided to speak [...]

I attended a Microsoft road show to day that spoke of Small Business Server 2008 and Essential Server 2008, their inclusions, target market and other nitbits. The roadshow also spoke of the new Live experience, Popfly, and a few other Microsoft technologies, that, while not entirely original or new, were quite impressive.

We can’t have cats.
the reason is two fold; firstly my wife is alergic to them and gets the sneezes. Second… well… Big T will probably think it’s a chew toy and then there’ll be no more Mister Kitty. It’s something that you deal with, accept and move on.
But this… this is just utterly ridiculous. On [...]

A liberal state of decay
Corruption is the order of rule
Do not show us your dismay
We’ll see and call you a fool
Never weild your force as a tool
Defend thyself not, for see

A land where sorrow is a fee

Beaten broken and scarred
In his own pity sea
Where all [...]
