Officially disguised as a Canadian
It has certainly been an interesting week in the world: Around 125 000 people perished in South East Asia from tsunamis caused by a massive earthquake. Microsoft had to pay their fine to the EU. The Euro is too strong. I turned 28. My other half is away at Sun City with family. Oh, that’sContinue reading Another year, another wrinkle
Well I made it to 28. When I was younger, I never imagined myself making it this far. I'm serious! I never actually thought I'd ever get past 27. Well, so far it's almost three hours old, but my 28th birthday has proven every feeling wrong. Granted I have until 6pm local time to be sure, but let's not get technical.
Tomorrow is my birthday. I'll be 28 years old. I'm wondering if I can pull a fast one on the world and pretend I'm turning 27 again. I've been out of the public eye for a while, so it may be possible!
Nick broke up with me tonight, over MSN. Stay classy.
My hosting provider improved the PHP security on this website with a change that required a modification of every single page (357 of them at last count). I have hopefully completed this task, which was not pleasant.
Today my website, although probably in its fifth incarnation, has officially turned nine years old.

Incidentally, some of the very first wordsContinue reading Happy Birthday Dear Website

Also, R2 000 additional for the radio which has not been forthcoming,Continue reading Dire Straits Direct
My Mercedes-Benz was written off on 29 July 2004 by a Bantam bakkie (that's a light delivery vehicle or "pick-up" for non-South Africans), that failed to check the main road for traffic whilst crossing the intersection from a stop street. I was not even travelling 50km per hour. I'm fine, although whiplash is taking a slight toll on my flexibility. I'm getting tired of the lawlessness on the roads – see my comments about this here and here.
I never thought I’d say it, but a character I’ve invented scares the crap out of me so much that I can’t write for more than a few minutes at a time. The latest addition is to the Intruder series is called Marek.
I know, I know, I've been a lazy bastard with my weblog. Tough shit, I say. I've been busy. I'm writing my second module exam for Introduction to the Theory of Law on Tuesday. I'm trying to improve my job prospects, and various other stuff.
