Officially disguised as a Canadian
I’ve taken the plunge after trying it out on Facebook and Twitter for a few months, to change my surname to “West”. This is a shortening of my husband’s surname to be more palatable to the Canadians. Plus it’s two letters shorter than my old one. There are at least three ways to change yourContinue reading Name change underway
I’ve installed WPtouch on this blog now, to allow mobile users to get a properly formatted experience. I apologise for not doing this sooner. I think it looks awesome on my phone.

For a few days now, my Mac has been asking me to give permission to Google Chrome to use the passwords in my Keychain. I couldn’t figure it out until I realised Chrome was updated to 6.0.472.33 (beta, of course). Now it makes sense. Kudos to Google for keeping security in mind.
I’ve recently become the proud owner of a 27″ iMac, with the i5 quad core processor and 8GB RAM. It’s faster than stink, and I love it. Unfortunately, my background does not permit me a full move to Mac OS X, because I have written several applications for Windows, and I must support SQL ServerContinue reading Why not to overthink a problem
So I lied. A few other things have happened in the last couple of months.

He was fast, very professional, and even took me to the financial officer to pay my R59. Parking was good, the station was clean (ifContinue reading Douglasdale SAPS FTW
I am impressed. I have the 60GB iPod Photo. I got it in 2005 with a Firewire connection, and it’s still going strong. Impressive.
We have an electrified fence running around the top of the wall that surrounds our complex. This is a standard feature of living in Johannesburg. I’d sooner have razor wire, and this post is part of the reason why. Since electrifying the wire would consume an unaffordable amount of electricity (notwithstanding the upcoming Eskom tariffContinue reading Electric fence
I hit a snag with the release of ShutOff 2010, which is pushing the release date into next year. Fortunately, the majority of the work is done. I’m hitting my head against having to support Windows prior to Windows XP.
