@da wanqsta: Some areas of Metro Manila, where I live were flooded but not too badly. My electricity and cable tv was working, in other parts power was knocked out. Today the place is all dried out but we're expecting a lot more typhoons. |

Huh, the sewerage problem in drinking water in Humansdorp has not been completely sorted out yet  All my 3 kids have now running tummies. Right now I have the water tested 'scientifically' in a PE lab and my kids feces and if the same bacteria (e-coli) shows up, the municipality is in for a 'ride'. As a policeman I have lots of time and resources for just such a thing  I don't know what is worse, sh!t in your water or water in your sh!t. Needles to say, the community is furious. To tell me that the responsible gentleman, which by mistake and unknowingly turned on/off the wrong valves, have been dismissed, is not enough. I want compensation. Actually no I want COMPENSATION I can't believe SABC is so quiet about the whole issue. Better without electricity then with a troubled stomach.
On another note - this WIMAX thing may be of interest to some SA residents. On question: how on earth is ICASA going to monitor the usage of the spectrum? Theoretically one is not be allowed to transmit on any frq. which ‘leaves’ ones residence. i.e. wifi ! Yet no one gives a damn here in SA. Who on earth is going to stop me, if I program the WIMAX card in my PC/LAPTOP and in my cell to use the band around 3GHz? Or 4 or 2 or or or

@JanbobeJan: That's some serious sh!t right there, hope the kids get sorted out. E.Coli is nothing, what you should be worried about is a full-on cholera outbreak.
About WiMax, I thought the hype had died done because MWEB and Telkom have not gotten beyond trials. I suppose for now, while things are still up in the air you can do whatever with your PC card but whenever Telkom or MWEB start operations they'll force you to shut down.
@ALL: What's happening with the launch of terrestrial digital tv? Last time I heard the said stations would start broadcasting in November but media has been very quiet about it.

Ya true, but the average bouquet here goes for around £1.99 - £3.99, ie. R30 - R60.Something as exotic (for here) or imported such as a bouquet of proteas etc is gonna go for more.

@HOBBS: Hope its not too bad, E.Coli is the worst of two evils...if he gave an accurate description of the situation then they should be treated for a cholera infection. |

@ Gucci:
LOL yeah when I saw all those li'l spiders on that petunia, I wondered what The G-Man's reaction would be.
So big news today re Nokia's acquisition of Symbian, and the way forward for a more universal Symbian platform.

you have no idea how afraid i am of those dam things, i could be put in a room with a python but the minute you throw in a tarantula i will scream like a lil girl.
I think its great they are coming in with one universal Symbian Platform, imagine the development and how many apps will be available, and the best part being you can choose between SE, NOKIA, MOTO, SAMSUNG etc. . . . , and still have the same amount of app support, its going to be very interesting. I think if MOTO manage to get Linux to work on top of this Symbian Universal Platform they'll have some killah phones! Cant wait!

lol i was able to resize to 640x480 my phone won't let it get any smaller than that, is it fine? Its now 59kb.
