Thanks @Amawanga, it is good to find time to make some post on this thread.
@Kryptik, that could be a great help to the world, just a bonus. How about we don't get tired, sleep when you want to. Well it's just a dream of a person pressured by work. |

Hello all. Just a quick WARNING : Some of you may go on holiday over the festive days.If you come to the coast/see and go for a swim, please don't leave your belongings on the strand/beach unguarded ! Over the past few years beach theft has skyrocketed ! And now even when you/security/police may catch the thief, is a good chance he will walk free at the court because he 'found' the items laying around on the sand. You also risk a civil claim against you, because you restrained him. (Unlawfull arrest) You think is a jocke ? I don't :-(

Brix, it's called affirmative redistribution... One man's Asics may be another's Bally :-) Just got a news alert from News24. The Constitutional Court has ruled in favour of same-sex marriages, and has given Parliament a year to draft the applicable legislation. Your views/comments?

786KBR: Maybe you can explain to me how exactly Mxit works because everytime I try to log in it says that the server is too busy.
What other functions do you get with Mxit?

Eish fella's it december again !
I once had on radio that there'll be a new rule. Forcing cellphone users/buyers to provide IDs and RES proofs when buying fones /SIMs.
And you must report lost SIMs if registered on your name. Otherwise u may possible get a jail sentence.
Whats your take on that ! |

Well, the hardware store at the nearest shopping centre is flogging its MTN simcards for R0.75 Guess i'll mosey on down and get a pile of em, lock em up in my gunsafe... No way i'm likely to register my prepaid sim, it's enough that i've already stated my cellphone number and email address on my tax returns. It's really up to the State to do it's work properly and efficiently capture whatever data they already have.

@Brix. About the thieves.
Today in the morning a friend called me to tell me a confusing story. Accordingly thieves got into his home and they cleaned the lounge, leaving sofas and wall unit only, they took a tv, dvd player and dvds and music system. What is more confusing, all this happened while they were asleep in the same house. His younger breother was sleeping on a sofa. Nobody heard anything untill the culprits were gone.
I truly can't explain this, it is just impossible for a four roomed house and with six people and noone heard a thing. It was raining, but someone could have heard something.
I wonder how did that happen.
This is one story that is keeping me restless, especially now with a lot of work and little rest. |

I recall an incident when a former colleague of mine, Allister Coetzee, who is now involved in coaching the Springbok backline, had his home burgled while he and his family lay sleeping.
Because of his involvement in sport, prominence was given to the case, more so since a large number of sporting memorabilia was taken. Rewards were offered, etc although the items weren't recovered, as far as i can recall.
What i do recall, however, is that the police forensics guys were of the opinion that gas had been pumped into the house, thus ensuring that the occupants were near-comatose when the actual burglary occurred.
I'm not superstitious, merely mildly stitious. |

I have become spoilt here.Too spoilt.Today I bought a THIRD phone,to use in conjunction with my Orange PAYG sim. This network has promotions like Orange Wednesday 2-for-1 movie tickets and other freebie promotions,but still not cheap enough PAYG rates to use as a primary or even secondary sim.
Anyway,I bought a phone made by the manufacturer that I occasionally have a light-hearted dig at: Motorola.
Why?The phone was cheap at £19.99. The model: the new C139.
A basic colour screen.And one helluva battery standby time of roughly 450 hours!!!(apparently.)
I knew it had no B/T or IR,but then I expected it to have at least wap for a few personalised downloads...shame on me;I shoulda checked the specs of the handset on gsmarena or the hellomoto site more thoroughly instead of just assuming things.
Oh,I can buy the official Moto USB cable and driver for exchanging stuff/synching with the pc...for an extra £17.99...saak that!!!
I had the intention of getting a real cheapy phone,but the fact that I enjoy personalising my phones and this thing has like 3 pathetic wallpapers,monophonic ringtones etc. showed just how much of a fussy wanqa I have become,I guess.
Phoned my sister-in-law tonight and now she has a new cellphone as an early Christmas present to replace her rather ancient Siemens.
____________________________________________________
Tomorrow I'm gonna go check out the Panasonic VS6 at Carphone Warehouse.
£99.99 gets you a VS6 sim-free phone which has a 2mp cam plus video,16 million colour screen,Bluetooth,no flash or expandable memory(32mb shared),push-button flip opening,mp3-compatible(yeah, at 4mb per mp3,that shared mem ain't gonna go far...)plus a Vodafone PAYG sim which I won't use.
And 5 times more than the C139...so much for being satisfied with an 'el cheapo' phone to do clandestine work.

By the way,did you guys see the 2 new Nokias today?
The 6233 and 6282:

Yep, had a quick look at those phones. I love the fact that Nokia have finally realized that they need to up internal memory on their handsets. 70mb certainly aint bad...
