Power failure
We had a power failure this morning at around 2am, and still weren't back up when I left for work at 7:50am. Typical. This wasn't a rolling blackout though, because it's only in our complex.
This had me in fits of giggles

Exams and computers
Yesterday I successfully avoided being anywhere near my computer (or any computer for that matter), and I'm quite impressed.
Genealogy
I've always been fascinated by world history, especially considering my own heritage. For example, one of my direct ancestors was John Napier, the creator of logarithms.
Rugby injury takes another schoolboy’s life
The life-support machines keeping the head boy of a local school alive are to be switched off today. On Saturday he did not get up after a ruck. He was declared brain-dead yesterday.
All aboard!
Gautrain: also dubbed "The Shilowa Express" by the man who masterminded this massive project (and quite honestly, I prefer this name).

Monday is also the deadline for two assignments for my teaching degree, and Tuesday I write my first exam. No pressure. Let me get back to my assignment that's dueContinue reading Show Early

Let's put this in perspective though: I had the idea in 2001, and asked some people to help me. For various reasons, those people couldn't do it. In 2004 I approached this new guy. He said yes, and agreed to take half of my business as payment. Well, it seemed like a good idea then, and I think it's still a good idea now 🙂
I’m forgetting again
I’m forgetting about my blog again … this can’t be a bad thing altogether, because it means I have other things on my mind. However, I feel like I am doing too much again. Skattie says it’s my own fault for taking on too much. So I’m finalising my business closure this month. My colleagueContinue reading I’m forgetting again
