My view of the world and anything that might interest me.
I just love Amatomu .. It just do what it is suppose to do right. And every time I pay it a visit there is something new. See today on the My Stats page that it now shows how many times one’s blog is favourited (is this spelled correctly – I copied exactly from the page). Mine still have a big fat zero next to it.
Guys, and if there is any gals involved, you are doing a great job. Keep it up.
I just read an article in the latest iWeek on the issues that the roll out of broadband in Cape Town is encountering. Here is a link to the article. (You need to be a subscriber, which is free, to read the article).
Basically it is about Telkom that is objecting to the awarding of the contract by the Cape Town municipality to a consortium consisting of MTN and Cornastone. The reasons Telkom gives is so childish ie – (1) that some old law is still in existence and only they are allowed to provide connectivity and (2) they were not informed that they did not make the shortlist.
As Mike Brierley from MTN says
.. the matter illustrates Telkom’s bullying tactics ..
Come on Telkom, grow up.

Reading my RSS feed this morning and looking at South African Blogs, I see one common theme. Yes you are all correct — everybody has something to say about the CWC cricket and the fact that SA lost to Bangladesh.
This made me think .. is this realy so surprising. I think not. Why did we became number 1 in One Day Cricket? If you think about it then it is only because we played home series agaist 2 teams (India and Paktistan) that neither made the second round. Oh and Australia had other things on their mind after winning the Ashes and before the world cup when they lost 5 ODI’s to New Zealand. So just looking at this .. do South Africa realy deserve to be Number 1 in ODI cricket. I think not and it is starting to show. We were lucky to win against Sri Lanka in any case.
Now I have said my bit also so if anybody disagrees with me feel free to comment. Healthy debate is more than welcome.

Want spell checking, thesaurus (even used it to look up the spelling of this), Wikipedia, Wiktionary and more from any application then head over to WordWeb. After you install this little gem then it just sits in your system tray and wait on you to CNTRL-rightclick on a word and open pops all the info you need about that word.

Yes it is April fools’ day and Google is at it again. Want a paper copy of your email mailed to you then just ask Google and they will oblige.
Now why would I want a paper copy of my mail if I can print the thing myself? I bet there is a couple of people that are going to fall for this one.
Think a bit today before you believe anything said and written .. it might just be that somebody is trying to take the mickey out of you.
