Brix, after i suffered a similar fate i was nearly tempted to do the same thing as in the cartoon below
Really hope the bliksem who took your car is punished with every plague known to man.

@ Brix, good news bro
@ Gucci, your so lucky man, I start on Wednesday...

@ da brixsta,
That's excellent news! Here's hoping that it's in the same condition as when you last saw it.
@ Kryptik,
Ya, I'm somehow managing today, although the head's being more of a danger to what sanity I have left at the moment than what the kids are; I'm sure you can empathise with such instances.

Hope the transition back into reality aint to bumpy Wangs.
Rhino-I've installed the .net framework file,then installed M3. but when I run the M3 program it tells me I need the NERO AAC codec to process video and audio.So I downloaded the file from the link they gave me,unzipped it,took the four files (neroAAC)found in the Win32 folder and moved them to the M3 'Bin file' in program files. Still,same problem.Did I move those 4 files to the wrong place or can you think of another solution for me to solve this irritating problem.
Thats exactly the problem i get when i try to install it to my laptop... i am going to try to copy it to my notebook via the lan network and see if i can make it work that way....

@ Hobbster,
Nearly through the first day without too many glitches; dunno about keeping awake in the staff meeting in 45 minutes' time though... maybe yet another strong cuppa java should do the trick.

Good morning, ya'll.
@ Jojo,
Yeah, it's not helped with the fact that site does unfortunately have its fair share of annoying pop-ups, but it is such a huge library of pics.

Hey Brix.As a journalist,whats ur take on our preparations for 2010? I drive passed Greenpoint Stadium everyday and it doesnt look like its progressing very fast.Whats the inside scoop dude.R we on track or in the shits?

@ JK
Shame man,very sorry to hear that,the hijackers and car thieves LOVE the German cars, VW Citi Golf Velociti, BMW 3series, Merc C Class etc. . . . My Mum's friend had her C Class stolen twice, eish SA crime.
@ Everyone
Just came back from Golf Range, its been 7months since i was last at Golf and glad to say my swing has never been this good! Even got a few compliments from some fellow Golfers, hmmm. . . . Maybe if University doesn't workout i should consider a career in Golf
hehehe. . . .

And why the hell not Gucci.What r u thinking of studying at varsity? Do you want to go into business and make a shitload of money so u can buy that car with 4 exhausts and on-board self parking.hee hee or havent u even thought of that yet.Yeah crime in SA.As long as theres such a divide between rich and poor,im afraid crime in SA is always going to rear its ugly head.As long as your guys cars were stolen without u guys getting harmed (hijacked) i guess u shuld just swallow that bitter pill.Its a sad reality.Just remember when its time to vote put the tick next to the party who u think could sought out this mess (if there is such a party) Who am i fooling.Like Mr Zuma said,the ANC will run this country till Jesus Christ returns.lol whenever that will be.

@ HOBBS,
I remember Rob Zombie of all people once saying in an interview that he really tried to find something to dislike about the seemingly bohemian, arty-farty REM lead singer Michael Stipe before he actually met him at some music awards, but he was apparently such a nice bloke that he couldn't really find fault and they both got on like a house on fire...
Just remembered we were discussing what a bloke Mr Stipe is on here last year too. Automatic For The People is still my fave one of theirs though.

Who uses Operamini 4 on here? It is slower than 3.1 isnt it or is it just my imagination?
Posted by amawanqa
Didn't have 3.1 long enough to tell/compare for sure (on the P1i) before I upgraded to 4, but somehow it did seem to take longer to do its thang, well when initially connecting anyway..
@ Jojo,
School's going OK thanks mate. Slowly-but-surely getting into a routine again...

I want to do a BCom in Business Management.
Ya thats true about the crime, you realy can't be too parenoid about it.
Opera Mini4 is a bit faster for me BUT it MUST BE the WORST browser ive EVER installd in a phone, i use it now mainly to come here, Symbian Freak and MySymbian. It tends to load the wrong page half the time, reload a page when i want to Quote, and it has caused my phone to restart 7 times since i got it.

@ Jojo,
Just got my hands on a pair of brand new Japanese Tokico 6-piston gold front brake calipers, as fitted to the Hayabusa etc, for the TL1000S. Some really excellent stopping power. I've ordered some cool brake discs to go with these too. Will be fitting them all in the next month or so.

@pop - Nice Bike-calipers matey . . . Is it TRUE that the Nissin-caliper is EXCLUSIVELY being used to Honda Big Bikes
While Brembo to Ducati (and other Italian Bikes)
Is the OLD one used in your Suzuki already worn-out (wear-and-tear)
Posted by amawanqa
@ Jojo,
I think you're right about Nissin brakes on the Honda bikes, but I'm not sure. Brembo do supply brake master cylinders to other makes than Ducati, but their calipers are usually only standard on Ducati and another Italian make called Moto Guzzi. However, Aprilia (yet another Italian make) are also using them nowadays too, on the newer RSV Mille superbikes etc. When they first came out, they used to have (French) Beringer brakes.
The calipers and discs aren't at all worn on the TL, but these mega ones were going for such a cheap price (for what they are) that I found it too hard to resist...
Will probably sell the original discs and calipers, as I obviously won't be needing them again.

@pop - So you BOUGHT those: Tokicos because of their CHIEF-price $$$
I mean, as you have mentioned, you will try to SELL the STOCK-calipers on your Suzuks - right so, they are not dilapidated . . . just yet
What calipers (brand) you have on your - Kawe . .. mate

@all - Watch this VIDEO mates . . . why BUY a Porsche when you get a cheap-Fiat (speed-wise . . .)

Posted by amawanqa
@ Jojo,
LOL no mate, they're not at all dilapidated; I don't believe in riding such powerful bikes without all the equipment being in tip-top condition.
The Kawa's brakes are also made by Tokico, but are some of the new generation radially-mounted calipers. Here's info on radially-mounted calipers:

So its back to school for me today...haha check you guys later...
Posted by Kryptik
JC, enjoy it bro
Still a few days for me, thank goodness. We've been out at the beach for the past few days, using my father-in-law's caravan. Got roasted pretty well in the process too. Anybody fancy a 100kg lobster?
I've been using Opera Mini 1.23 for some time now;it's a modified version courtesy of our friends in the Eastern Bloc. I tried Mini 3 and 4 for a few days, but they're not as versatile as 1.23, although at times they loaded slightly faster. They also allow more text to be copied, but that's about the only real advantage which they have, and which is easily circumvented if one uses the notepad to copy and paste sections of text at a time.
Right, time for a quick dip before it starts getting hotter here.
