    I found this article and it makes one think whether or not google is small fry or actually being opposition for microsoft. While Yahoo! was busy putting the finishing touches to its new co-operation with eBay, Google has not been idle, but has clinched a spectacular deal of its own. As announced last Thursday, Google and Dell have agreed to a trial that will see Dell pre-install a suite of Google software onto each PC before it leaves their factories. The software package will include the Google...

  • What is happening with the SNO (Second National Operator) and ADSL Broadband?

    " Recent DOC (Department of Communication) discussions on lowering telecommunication costs in South Africa has failed to convince broadband users on the MyADSL website that they will indeed be able to reduce prices." Also read this previous post: http://mybroadband.co.za/nephp/?m=show&id=477 Taken from MyADSL . Interesting read. Makes you wonder what is going on?!?

  • The history of South Africa is Unchangeble

    My partner and I had a discussion today about how patriotic the Americans are. Too be totally honest, I envy them. I then started to think about things that we can be patriotic about. I live in Pretoria and therefor I immediately started to think about the Voortrekker Monument . This is truly an amazing building. Then I started to think about time that has come and gone and how young our country really are. I started looking at some sites about this magnificent Monument and read about what it stands...

  • IMHO - Whaaaooooo!!!!

    Just tried it myself... I must say, this makes life a lot easier. Hopefully now I will blog a bit more. The biggest reason I never blog is because I have to log in and click around a few times before actually typing anything. Thanks Armand for blogging about this. powered by IMHO Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

  • Prawns... ?? Anyone?

    A colleague of mine brought in to the office the first “Parkie” for the rainy season. The was just to show the Pretoria guys what it looks like. Luckily I did stay in the northern suburbs before, so I wasn't entirely surprised, but I have to admit... It is still one of the more UGLY insects alive, but truly a Jo'Burg trademark. Enjoy!!!

    I recently wanted to map ALL requests going into IIS to a HTTPHandler. Not justfor a specific file extention. For the life of me, I just could not figure that one out.
