Personal Change of iTune I always maintained that I would never own an iPhone. Android all the way. I even tested the waters with a Windows phone, but that hit the trash heap after
Personal In the beginning... ...there was blog. And it was good. Actually it wasn't. It was terrible, and it's still terrible, but it's mine. I've spent the past few days importing and converting all
Personal A year later... I wasn’t going to post anything because I like to keep my private life, well, private. But then I realized that the reason I refrain from posting here about
Personal Did not finish I have been a voracious reader ever since I was a child. While I was in primary school, my dad would take me to the public library on a weekly basis. As a child, you were only allocated two cards, that allowed you to
Personal The Thinking Game I suppose it’s a problem that a lot of people experience – I don’t want to claim any kind of uniqueness here. I mean, everybody is an individual (bleat), but I have a real problem with procrastinating about things. I get stuck on
Personal Cognition It’s funny that my 2 year old daughter can recognize the Skype incoming call ring and knows what it means. Often, on hearing it, she utters a yell, ‘Uncle Aaaaaandyyyy’ from where ever she is in the house, and then comes running to
Personal Post midnight blather I just made a fatal mistake. I was asleep – slept for about an hour or so, and then woke up due to one of those annoying recurring dreams that I just couldn’t get rid of. Got up to drink some water, as my
Personal Welcome to 2010 - Where power outages are becoming the norm Although I’m not sure how great it is, yet. So far we’ve gotten off to a fairly rocky start on the home front. We’ve had so many
Personal Under pressure This whole hypertension saga has been a pain in my ass. Not quite literally, but it almost got there. The doc prescribed a medication to control my blood pressure, which
Personal Christmas (or Xmas as I prefer to call it) You may be wondering why I prefer to refer to Christmas as Xmas. It’s just my rebellious side saying “Hi”. In my old(er) age, I have come to reject religion, and tend more towards atheism. I tend to balk at religious practises,
Personal Something not from twitter As I mentioned in one of my past tweets, I had been suffering from dizziness for about two weeks. Doctor eventually figured out that it appears to be related to my suddenly extremely high blood pressure, so she prescribed some blood pressure tablets as
Personal Procrastination is a killer I have so many things I want and even need to do, but all I find I ever do about them is to procrastinate about doing them. It’s ridiculous. I’m in a complete rut about it, too. I just can’t seem
Personal It's happening again I just got home from the hospital where I booked my wife in… to the maternity ward. Our third child, another daughter, will be born tomorrow via C/Section. It’s quite amazing. Every flippin’ time they put her in the same ward, in
Personal Telkom Sucks My ADSL line at home has been dead for the past 11 days now. It took me 35 minutes on hold on the 27th March before I could get through to a call centre agent to log the fault. I started receiving daily 9am
Personal Busy bee So there I was, loafing at home for the month of January, when I receive a call from EDS. They wanted to know if I would go work for them, but back at Mercantile – the place I had left last September. Tough call really.
Personal 'tis the season... … to be rude and inconsiderate. Why do people see the need to be rude? I’ve noticed it the last few days, be it on the road, or out shopping. People are just being ruder than normal. They will cut you off in traffic,
Personal Everything Contemplating the mysteries of life is something that everybody should do from time to time. I enjoy the quiet time, but now having had it for the past 6 days, I am missing my family terribly. I’ll be picking them up at the
Personal On existence I’ve done around 5800 kilometers already. 721 kilometers were done today. I had to drive up to a mine in Limpopo province. I’m not religious, I do not believe in god or heaven. I find religion to be irrational. But that’s
Work Time passes way too quickly Here endeth my third week of the new job. I still haven’t decided if it’s the right thing for me. I’ll give it a few months. My wife is now 6 weeks pregnant with our third child. Dang. I’ve driven
Personal What's left? My brother filed an I-130 petition for me (and my wife and kids) to emigrate to the USA. After doing a bit of research, it seems that the US immigrations processes are so far behind that it looks like it’s going to be
Personal Trials and more trials I don’t know who or what I’ve pissed off lately, but things have just not been going my way. I’m so tired of problems. I don’t
Work Between Then and Now Looking back at my last post, not much has changed. The guy is still pissing me off, though I’ve had a chat with him and let him know exactly how badly he had pissed me off. I think we’re seeing somewhat eye
Personal "Ugh," says ugh. I’m trying to write this post, and I end up with an attack of sneezing. I hate it, as the sneezes are usually quite violent, and it hurts that spot in my back that gives me trouble from time to time. Not to
