Rumshot rocks

Rumshot is a screen capturing tool that dolls up the images for you. I am impressed by this tool but struggle to see the great value. Possibly if you are not using photoshop or any other editing tool then this might be worth while. Cool to play around with though.

typorganism is an extremely interesting site that has amazing design and playful “games.

There seems to be some sort of intelligent reason for the site to exist but it’s a bit above me. Maybe someone with a bit more brain power can tell me. Check it out.

I can never get back the time I have wasted at Sandton Vodacom trying to fix their rubbish.

I hate Vodacom.

FNB loses a client

Today First National Bank (FNB) lost a me as a client forever.

I have been using an FNB Smart Account for seven months. The last 30 days (Holiday period, december, no work etc) has been slow and thus I made no great use of my account. I drew out money and was left with R35 in my account. I thought that this amount would be OK. Not so much apparently. This amount was quickly taken from me after Saswich charges and service charges from FNB for the use of my card. I was then left with R1.80 in debt.

My account was subsequently closed because of R1.80. I was not warned, I was notified and I am never going back to FNB. Ever.
