Maybe it’s just me but I really like this photograph. I took it through a window at 5:30am after having just woken up to the sound of a bang and some screeching tires. I love my camera.
Yes, I realise that those of you who read this stuff and happen to teach photography will probably see a gazillion problems with the photograph. But I love it and that’s all that matters.
ps. Gav, your input is still welcome.
A while ago I was moaning about how CNA’s website didn’t want to let me on with my never-before-heard-of-crazy-combo of Ubuntu and Firefox… It seems they’ve fixed that problem which probably also fixed the “telling Google to go away” problem.
http://www.cna.co.za and http://www.google.co.za/search?q=cna.co.za
I wonder if that had anything to do with me? They never said anything. Probably because I’m such a big bully.

Oh CNA… Who is the person responsible for this? If I could see your site I would send you an email.
I wonder if they realise that their site is not going to be indexed at all?
Supporting multiple web browsers is ossum… if you get it right. I am using linux and firefox and for some reason that deadly combo isn’t allowed to view their site.
Guess where I’m *not* buying my xbox.

3G aint so cool. I’ve been looking at the numbers and basically, if you don’t use up all the MB you paid for in your data bundle, after 31 days they are forfeited… And if you use more than the MB in your data bundle you get molested with stupidly high “out-of-bundle” per MB fees, some (most) as high at R2 per megabyte. (A megabyte should be costing anything from 10 cents to 40 cents)
Why do companies take advantage of their customers like that? It’s just pure greed. It’s like walking into Pick and Pay and buying 100 tins of tuna and instead of them saying “wow, cool, here’s a discount” they say “Oh, 100 tins… you must have money, that’ll be 2000% more per tin, kthx”
Does anyone know what I get charged for 3G use on my vodacom phone? I “enabled data” a few years back and now that my new phone supports 3G I’ve been using that a bit. I never bought a data bundle or anything. I asked in a vodashop and they were amazingly unable to answer the question, but gave me a phone number to call.
I should go to bed, I’m starting to get moody.

How about this for an easy to implement feature that will save hoards of people from looking like fools.
If you are composing an email that has the phrase “I’ve attached” or “Attached you’ll find” or anything that seems to imply that the composer of the email intends to attach something to the email, when they click send check whether there is indeed something attached and if not ask them if they’re sure they want to send.
Is that too MS Paperclip’ish?
Just a thought.
I own a Canon 20D. When I bought it it was state of the art and cost a small fortune. Now, a couple of years later it has been replaced by a few generations of better cameras; and I must admit that I do have camera envy when I look at the new stuff on the market.
But then I take a picture like this and I’m all happy again. I love you 20D.
So I recently got the phone I’ve been wanting to get for ages… The E61i… And I’m blogging from it right now. It’s hardly effecient but it does work.
ossum.
