So yesterday I had to me delivered a brand new R60k server at work. A server that, in my opinion, has no function and no need. This really incenses me and I’ll try to explain why in the course of this entry.
This year my company has gone on what appears …

Driving home from work yesterday I hear sirens. So I check my mirrors and there’s a police van coming up on my left with his right indicator flashing. I, being at the front of the queue about to turn right (there was a green turning arrow) decided to do what …

At the beginning of January I ordered a game from England (Ninja Gaiden Black) and over six weeks later it still hasn’t arrived. I contacted the seller chatted with them, and it seems that my package has just dissapeared into the void known as the postal service; at least they’ve …

This happens to me quite a lot. It’s annoying.
