  • Abandon all hope. Or not.

    In grand old blogging tradition I decided to use this platform to loudly proclaim my current opinions on the state of things . Actually its nothing quite that ambitious, just another one of those ubiquitous Hot/Not lists. In what will no doubt prove to be a dangerously controversial move I have however...

  • "I am inclined to think-" said I. "I should do so," Sherlock Holmes remarked, impatiently.

    As modern software developers we exist in an ethereal domain that lies between the world of money and the pursuit thereof, and the world of technology that enables that pursuit. On one side of us are the Business People who construct processes, rules and guidelines that enable them to operate in the...

  • Ambushing Darwin, or open-minded debate?

    It seems that perhaps the constant battle raging in America between science and religion might be rearing its ugly head here at home. I was driving past Sandton Bible Church in Douglasdale yesterday and the notice board outside announced that tonight, 10th March, a debate would be held at Fourways Highschool...

  • And the Sh*t Service Award goes to.... TWT!

    Yesterday morning Tiger Wheel & Tyre made a spirited attempt to surpass even the legendary poor customer service offered by such South African stalwarts as Telkom and the Home Affairs Department. I arrived at TWT’s Fourways branch just before 10:30am yesterday morning, having had a puncture and driven...

  • The view from the Dragon's maw

    So; it's been quiet around here. You might have noticed. Then again, perhaps not. I've been busy you see, with work. Or something masquerading quite cleverly as work anyway. I must report that I have a new-found respect for analysts, married to a bitter hatred of the activity itself. You see, for the...

  • A bit of perspective..

    And that's the reason for this column: to lend a contrarian perspective to a world besotted with technology and all its bright, glittery appeal. This is not , as some of my colleagues have characterized it, an "anti-technology" column. I'm not, strictly speaking, anti-technology. I just don't treat it...

  • Results-oriented UI

    I was really impressed with the new user interface paradigm that I've seen in demo's of Microsoft's Office 12 1 recently, and I happened upon a short article 2 by Jakob Nielsen, the “ usability guru“ . Basically his argument is that the Mac-style WYSIWYG user interface paradigm has reached...

  • Nabaztag, wherefore art thou?

    I'm a newborn bunny, one of a unique species of intelligent, smart objects. I'm 23 cm tall, I wriggle my ears, I sing, I talk and my body lights up and pulsates with hundreds of colours. Thanks to Wi-Fi technology, I'm always connected to the Internet. Oh, and I'll only set you back 95 €. I have...
