Okay, so the Soccer World Cup bug has definitely bitten me. I don’t generally follow much soccer, but wow, what a vibe! If one steps back and takes a look at what the world experienced not even an hour ago, it’s quite miraculous, actually. An entire nation, across all continents of the world, united in support of Bafana […]

Restaurant review: Fusion Cafe, Bistro
8th May, 2010 – 8:23 am
Okay, so who doesn’t love a good meal out, hmmm? I’m not much into writing restaurant reviews or anything, so I thought I’d give it a go with the restaurant I ate at last night –Fusion Cafe– and share my thoughts and experiences at the restaurant. I’ve been walking past the restaurant and not going in for a few months now, […]
A quick word on Freedom Day
27th April, 2010 – 10:27 am
Wow, good morning everyone. Yes, I’m up, sleepy-eyed and fighting back yawns, to blog. It feels great! Today is Freedom Day in South Africa… yes, yet another public holiday in April.

26th April, 2010 – 9:21 am
What is inspiration? Where does it come from? How can it drive productive output? These are all valid questions. At this moment, it’s a little misty outside my window. It’s early and I’m almost on my way to a nice hot cup of tea. This doesn’t seem related to the post at all, does it? It is. All […]

A change of scenery and why I try not to write draft posts
12th April, 2010 – 9:29 pm
Okay, lately I’ve been blogging a lot about WordPress, Magento and coding in general. Time for a breather, folks. No techie stuff in this blog post, just a fun, relaxing read about a change of scenery, stream-of-conscious writing and why I prefer it to writing draft blog posts. Okay, just a little bit of techie stuff (let’s get it over with, shall […]
A theory on approaching difficult tasks
9th November, 2009 – 8:09 pm
Whichever industry you work in, whether you work for yourself or a company and whatever your job description, there are days where things just aren’t going your way. No matter how long you sit at your desk, tapping your pencil, the solution to the problem at hand just isn’t apparent. As a developer, the problem and solution […]
