Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.
Disclaimer: I am about to rant, a lot, and my opinions might piss some people off, unfortunately when it comes to this topic, I don’t care.
I went to the Portuguese festival in Johannesburg this weekend, Lusito Land. At this festival there were many different types of people, Greeks, Portuguese, Italian, English amongst many others. Two of these people were wearing t-shirts that offended me to no end; the old South African Flag proudly displayed on their moronic and ignorant backs. The old South African flag does not represent the Afrikaans people who are thinking, progressive and good people. In my humblest of opinions this flag represents the dregs of society, the people who believe in oppression, ignorance and racism. I cannot believe that anyone would still have the guts to wear this outdated insult on their body that once represented so much hatred and pain.
You, sirs, are fools and the only reason that I didn’t say something to you is because you were about 25kg’s heavier than me. Nonetheless I understand what it is that these people were trying to get across but unfortunately I think that they were doing it in the wrong way. The flag below represents all that liberal and free thinking South Africans (not to mention the world) fought against and thrive to undermine everyday here in the New South Africa.
Take that flag and stick it where you think it best belongs… and I’m not talking about your wall.
I have previously posted about my MyBlogLog woes and a certain registered users, Hecubus who stole the registration of one of my websites. I asked for some help and Paul from Chilibean pulled in and made some moves to right the situation.
I thought that all was done and justice had been served, apparently not. Hecubus is back and making idle threats on this very blog. I am not impressed. What makes someone believe that they have the right to threaten other people when they themselves were the fools who were conducting irresponsible and illegal business. You, Hecubus, are out of line. Step back in to that box of yours and calm down. I was justified in the acquisition of my right to register a site that I OWN THE RIGHTS TO!!!!!!! Think before you type my friend because you might think that you know what you are doing, but I strongly disagree. Justice prevails, and it will in this situation.
I have just finished watching the final of the 2007 Cricket World Cup. What a shocker. What were the umpires thinking? The light went bad and the Sri Lankans turned it down, the light got better. It rained and everyone went off the pitch, it stopped and everyone came back on, then it rained and the game went on. The light became so bad that the commentators could not tell who the players were and the umpires couldn’t see enough to be able to call a wide. Then Australia celebrated their victory and were made to play on for 3 overs only to celebrate their victory again. A bad end to a great tournament that has been shadowed by some interesting and saddening events.
Adam Gilchrist was phenomenal, 149 runs in the world cup final, incredible. I have posted on SA Rocks already about putting all feelings aside and honouring the best team in the world for three years in a row. Australia is undeniably and unequivocally the best cricket team in the world, again and again and again.
Final outcome Australia won by 53 runs.
My congratulations go out to them and their management. The best team won and we all know it.
Russell Peters has been featured on nh.com before but I just can’t get enough of this guy. He is hilarious and is now talking about god playing a practical joke on the Indian people!
It seems as though Amatomu are going straight for the jugular in the aggregation market and Technorati is on the hitlist. The creators of Amatomu are clearly not worried about competition in the form of their biggest competitor internationally and this new feature is a testament to their confidence.
Vincent Maher said that this feature is not even available as a Technorati service, which I find astounding and somewhat ironic. You can now see where your blog is placed in terms of Technorati ranking in relation to other SA Blogs… on Amatomu.
I think that Vincent has done another sterling job in providing users of Amatomu with another reason to stay on the site and use the statistics that are provided. I am sticking with Amatomu until I have a reason to leave, which seems very far away for now.
This sounds easy as pie. It’s not. If you have tried to do this recently you will know what I mean.
Firstly, there is no “credit card” option when selecting the type of account. Secondly, there is no “Discovery” option as bank because Discovery is not actually a bank. Lastly, the number on your credit card is not the same as the number displayed on your internet banking, who knew?
So here is how to go about adding your Discovery Credit Card to your beneficiaries list on your Absa internet banking:
To start with:
Click on “beneficiary” in the main menu.
Click “add new”
Then Step 1:
Find the button asking you to “Link Absa listed beneficiary (bill payment)” and CHECK IT.
Head over to the right text box and type in “DISC”.
Click on the “Next” button.
Step 1a:
Find the button that says “Discovery Credit Card” and CHECK IT.
Click on the “Next” button.
Step 2:
Enter the relevant details regarding your Discovery credit card. Remember to use the number on your card.
Step 3:
Finally, click on “Add New” to complete the process.
This might seem like a really simple and stupid post, but I promise you it took me ages to find out from somewhere what one needs to do to overcome certain hurdles like typing in “DISC” to add a Discovery card. I hope this helps someone.
Scientists have discovered the most Earth-like planet yet, Gliese 581 (what kind of name is that anyways?). The planet is located some 20.5 light-years away (that is far) but humans are unable to travel that far.
There has been no attempt at discovering biological life on the planet yet. As of now there is just great excitement around the fact that this planet could be habitable by humans.
Woo hoo, lets go ahead and screw this one up, wait till we have the technology to migrate our entire population Earth to Gliese-whatever and then carry on with our existence as the human race. Great stuff.
