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.

Pownce seems to me like much of a twitter-ish sort of site. I don’t know much about this sort of stuff cause I think it’s rubbish and life-sapping technology.

Anyways, back to the point and the title of this post. I understand that what makes Pownce cool is that you can download a desktop client for the software and use the service on your pc. Kiff. So what? I think it’s just another mechanism to get and keep people addicted to intel 100% of the time.

Now I thought I would shut up and get down to it so I toddled off to the Pownce page where you can download the software. To my surprise you need to download two pieces of software for this all to work. The first is some Adobe thing or another AIR or something like that. It’s an 8Mb file. Unfortunately for me that is just too much for me to handle. I know that NO ONE caters for the SA market and thus 8Mb files are regarded as normal downloads in under a minute in most first world countries. But here, that is too many minutes for me to wait to have to download the first pack then download another one, install both and then get things working. Please. Do me a favour and let it all go. Just let is slide.

No one needs to know that I am sitting at my pc doing this, that and the next thing. If I am using the desktop software, it means I am sitting at my pc. Simple, finished, kla.
