Dungeons: Red Bull Big Wave Africa

The Red Bull Big Wave Africa contest goes down every year close to Cape Town at the epic Dungeons. The Billabong XXL Award for the biggest wave surfed on the planet in 2006 was awarded to this monster, surfed by Greg Long at Dungeons: We've been expecting big swell during June for weeks now, but...

My town

Whenever I post photos to my blog, it's always places that I travel to (or screenshots from Visual Studio!) Here are some photos from my hometown, Cape Town , which I think is not only by far the best place to live in South Africa, but undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the world. On Sunday evening...

Barreling in the office!

If you live in Cape Town with an office-bound job, and you know that lately the swell has been very decent, as has the weather, it becomes a very emotional affair. Many wave-riders have been spotted wiping away a tear, or just buckling under the pressure, abandoning their offices and heading for the...

Human-Computer Interaction

There are different kinds of humans, or users, and so there are different kinds of ways to interact with computers. The graphical user-interface was one of the greatest leaps in this field, and ever since, even though gradually advancing, we have made slow progress. This field is coming more to the fore...

South African Airways

It's not really my style to use this blog to complain, but I just had to share this one. I booked a flight to visit my parents in Bloemfontein over the christmas period last year, and the only airline that flies there (quite a small town!) from Cape Town is South African Airways (SAA). I always book...

Getting older

I turn 28 today. People ussually think I'm much younger than I really am, and I like to think that this is due to my appearance rather than my behavior...! The past year in my life has been a great one where I met amazing people, saw amazing places and got involved in many amazing activities. I joined...

I've been re-awarded MVP status

I received notification from Microsoft yesterday confirming the extension of my MVP status for the next year. Whoohoo!!! The MVP program is an extremely valuable one, not only to me but to anyone I get into contact with. That is the main idea behind it - to channel information out to the community. Let...

Holiday to Brazil

I came back from a long overdue trip to Brazil last weekend, and the two weeks I spent there were amazing. Some photos of the trip are posted up here. I recommend going to Brazil to everyone - it is one of the most beautiful, cheap destinations in the world. In Brazil no one speaks English, and an understanding...

Leaving the beach

I'll be leaving Durban at the end of this month to join nVisionIT in Johannesburg. Yes, I'll probably become entrenched in the rat-race, and forget what surf looks like. This is a bit of an emotional affair, not because of any girlfriends, wives or kids (I'm as mobile as can be!), but because I have...
