Joost Invites

OR Tambo Discount...
I've got a couple of minutes to kill before departing to the MEDC and while I'm waiting for the boarding call I thought I might as well share a small airport tip/hack that can save you some money in the duty free at OR Tambo Airport.

Microsoft 2007 MVP Global Summit
After a missed connection from Chicago to Seattle thanks to a delayed flight from London I'm now finally on my way to the Microsoft 2007 MVP Global Summit in Seattle. Or I should say almost as this flight is also delayed and it might take another hour or so to actually get under way. I was hoping to... Read More...

A couple of weeks back I re-organized some of my core folders containing documents, code etc into something that resembles Omar Shahine's Productivity Workspace .

Depends on who you speak to...
For the past 6 months I've been driving around with 2 cd's stuck in my cd player. It's been a painful couple of months so on Monday I eventually decided to take my car to a dealer and see if they can sort it out for me. An additional complication was that my car is fitted with BMW Business Navigation... Read More...

Opml.Refresh();
Reading through my unread blogs this morning I realised what a mess my collection of feeds is at the moment. The feeds and categories as it currently stands have been through several imports and exports in various aggregators which lead to many duplicates and a real unorganized jumble of feeds. This...

It's been a while since the last Johannesburg blogging dinner (yet again) and there's several new bloggers here as well as other Gauteng based bloggers.
