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.

I know that the space available to Gmail users continuously grows. But I am extremely interested to know how much space you have used on your gmail account right now?

I took this screenshot at 11:05am on Sunday 25th May, 2008.

When those spammy, mass, rubbish emails that state that you MUST send this mail on to 10-gazillion people or face a frightening and certain death consisting of horns, the devil, skin-melting-torture and any other rubbish…

are sent to you.

Believe it. It’s true.

I received a call on dodgy line yesterday at work. From an agency handling some paraphernalia production for me. I thought I heard 500 in total. What I had agreed to was 500 per promotion. This would have worked out to a whopping total of R40 000.

That is well, well, well over what I had budgeted for and well over what we could afford ever.

An hour later I frantically realised the error of my decision. Running around the office back to my desk, sliding in to my chair I made the call to the agency.

The lady on the other side of the call sounded slightly flustered by a bit happy that I had caught her in time.

What had happened? Eskom had magically saved me R40 000. The power went out two minutes before I called to change the order and the agency was unable to send of the order via email.

For the first time ever I have to say: Thanks Eskom.
