As a PC gamer I often find the current prices of games to be quite ridiculous. Sometimes new games can cost up to R500, for something that you only take about 2 weeks to complete. This has led me down “the dark path of Captain Sparrow” more often than not, as I have a huge [...]
1) As easy as the update process is, it’s usually always better to do a clean install.
2) The alternate CD is awesome for a quick installation (under 30 minutes)
3) You will never get away from using the command line, no matter how many cool gui apps there may be.
4) But thats fine, because the linux [...]
It’s such a fun time of year.
There’s the excitement of driving on the roads behind those wonderful idiots who now suddenly feel that they have to either drive as if they have suddenly aged 50 years and cannot move faster than 30km/h or are on a constant mission to beat the rain and the rest [...]
It never fails, I get all excited about starting a new blog, post a few articles that I think people might be interested in, start spending less and less time posting, all the while knowing that no-one is going to read the damn thing unless I syndicate it and make it interesting somehow and eventually [...]

While I have to admit the level of online April’s Fools jokes seems to have dropped a little this year, perhaps due to the fact that people now tend to expect them, I did read one or two articles that really stood out.
First off was Toms Hardware, claiming that they will now switch to an [...]
I havent posted here for a while, mainly due to the fact that I am training for a competition on Saturday but also due to the fact that I don’t have as much time (or thoughts) to post lateley.
However I was recently introduced the the LOLCatBible. For those who know (and love) the LOL Cat [...]
Yesterday morning I went for my first Sunday morning run of the year. It’s been a while since I last went for a Sunday morning run, but it was the perfect weather for it and I woke up early enough (always a bonus).
As usual there were quite a few others out and about, runners, cyclists, [...]
For those who may have followed this blog (v 1.0, before it got fried) last year I was at a point where I could run a 5km distance without my heart pushing up through my lungs, jumping out my throat and rolling down the road without me. (if you knew me you would know how [...]
