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. This day is, however, more than just another of the many April-based public holidays. Freedom Day remembers the first post-apartheid political election, held on this […]

A quick word on inspiration and driving output
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 […]
Are WordPress.org users missing out?
24th April, 2010 – 8:05 pm
For whatever reason you began blogging, be it personal or otherwise, one aspect of blogging transcends blog type: comments and commenting. Whether you’re blogging about your most recent holiday or about the latest piece of technology, it’s always a nice feeling to receive a comment on your post. A large part of receiving comments on blog posts is, […]
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 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 […]
The discovery of blogging
14th September, 2009 – 8:09 pm
I find blogging to be such a unique and interesting medium for communication. Share news, thoughts and information with the world and interact with those who comment on your writings. This, on the surface, seems like a somewhat well-known concept. The question is, is it?
Tumblr is the next big thing
20th July, 2009 – 11:56 am
Tumblr, the popular blogging software, is a hosted blogging service that enables users to post notes, audio, video, photographs, quotes, links and conversations all in one place. Not a full blogging system like WordPress or MovableType and not a micro-blogging service like Twitter, Tumblr is, I believe, a middle-ground between the two. I believe this to be the next big thing.
