Dares at work
One-point dares:
- Ignore the first five people who say ‘good morning’ to you.
- To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace.
- Leave your fly open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, “Sorry, I really prefer it this way”.
- Walk sideways to the photocopier.
- While going in an elevator, gasp dramatically each time the doors
Everything beyond the click
I attended an Apple South Africa gig – Everything beyond the click – at Canal Walk this evening. Some Scottish guy (I forgot his name) demonstrated Aperture which really impressed me only for it’s RAW file handling. Everything he talked through was very entry-level and based on a template approach which … view full post
I moved into a new apartment today
I moved into a new apartment today. The only furniture I have is inflatable, the only cutlery I have is a plastic fork and chopsticks (thanks to tonight’s take-away), I have a fridge magnet but no fridge, and I’m connected to the web via a bluetooth connection to my cell (new number on my contact page) which is dialed … view full post
Scotland so far
Our time in Scotland has been good – despite the dreich weather, we’ve made the most of it and have plenty of pictures to show for our short time in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and our roadtrip around this beautiful nation. Thanks to my aunt Moira for her unmatchable hospitality.
It’s especially nice to escape from CSS, RSS, … view full post

Back in time
Sooo. Rewind the web to 7 years ago, when 640×480 screen resolutions were the most popular, Netscape 3.0 was the browser of choice, a proper domain name was second priority, and broadband was a dream. When educating potential clients on what the acronym WWW stands for, and asking them to report broken links on your site, were more important … view full post
La Ramblaaa
After two nights in Madrid I caught the bus through to Valencia. The weather was getting exceedingly colder, and it was raining on and off, but I enjoyed my stay there. The weather change however (coupled with a lack of sleep) messed around with my sinuses and I ended up with flu for the two days that I spent in … view full post
The Standards Police will get you!
Oh the irony – it appears that the Standards Police have caught up with me. Three words for you, Charl: validation isn’t everything.
