When the force of an entire server is attacking the Enderdragon , he stands no chance.

So i was over there at my favourite server and it turns out my one small tower is causing an entire server to crash. Apparently this is an issue with the pistons that Notch has not finished yet. They should at least put back gears in the game until this redstone and piston issue is sorted, otherwise what will our inventions run on? Water?

Malls are made for shops, companies and corporations. Malls are not made for people. Think about the old days when people had to grow their own food, hunt for their own food and farm their own food. Think about the reward they got. Hard work and small reward but the reward meant so much more.

This is not the same as working a job you dont like then getting a reward you already knew the outcome of. The excitement of the small reward outweighs the rewards of which of was known before receiving it.

Point is, the reward is not that big when shopping because of the want when walking through a mall. Take this for example.

A guy goes hunting for food, he captures a rabbit. The reward was huge because he only spotted the rabbit, maybe a few other animals but not lines and rows of animals that he really wants. Imagine he walked through a mall, saw 100′s of rows of goats for example, thousands of animals that could be eaten, then at the end he gets the rabbit. The satisfaction will just not be the same.

Be a minimalist shopper this year.

This is hilarious, also a bit rude of his co-workers but I couldnt stop laughing.

Loeriesfontein is the most beautiful place in the world. The beautiful Karoo sunsets, the long stretched out views of valleys and great plains and the plant life that you might miss if you dont climb out and take a closer look.

(unfortunately due to WordPress’s new upload function only two images made it through the upload.)

Apparently there will be some serious roadblocks this December in Cape Town

I love this video, found it while browsing. Its about how to start a movement, very interesting how the first person looks like an idiot but at the end he is the hero that started the movement

Well not exactly, as she screams in the video that the police cant really decide what is clothing or what is not so.. Anyway, the Australian police is clearly in the wrong here like their US counterparts they seem to not have a ounce of common sense. They forcefully rip and cut the tent leaving the woman in the middle of town without clothes.

I just thought about something i think i’ll try to stick with. I’m not really one for new year’s resolutions but I’m going to try my best not to buy anything in 2012. Obviously if there are bills for hosting, petrol for the car or maybe a tire that needs to be replaced i’ll do it. This also excludes things that I need for health sake, like pills or toothbrushes. Basically I’m going to try not to buy anything at all as much as possible.

Is this even possible? My wife busy the food so that also excludes that and might make it a bit unfair for others that might want to do the same but the project is with common sense, you have to eat obviously.

The main thing is not to buy gadgets, software, junk i dont need, camping gear etc. If i want something i’m going to have to make it myself.

Is this possible?

I’ve always wanted to build a Tiny home. Dont know what a Tiny home is? Well you better start searching since this is probably what most minimalists dream of. A Tiny home can be built on a trailer, some of them are smaller than wendyhouses (not necessary on a trailer). Point is they are small houses, mostly made of wood or brick they contain the minimal space needed and the most basic things and utilities one can live with. In the US some of these homes sell for almost 10 000 dollars. Why would someone spend that kind of money on a Tiny home? Well first of all they dont have to pay their monthly bond payments, they can use that money for something else, secondly maintenance and building standards almost fall away (if its built on wheels).

I might do a project like this soon in one of South Africa’s most beautiful towns, Touwsriver.

Media freedoms, racist government.. oh the issues South Africans face. After 17 years of “democracy” in South Africa we now have racism against white people.. oh hang on, this has been going on for a while now. It was all over the news that the racist Stellenbosch univeristy actually reverse an application of a prospective student that wanted to study medicne because she is white.

Why in a “free” and equal South Africa do we have a government and education system that discriminates against colour?

The Freedom Front plus sent out a statement:

The racist policy of the government and universities is still after seventeen years marginalising people to only a race and is to the detriment of all South Africans. A black doctor could be seen as only having qualified because of his/her skin colour. Such approach is thus unfair towards black doctors who is competent and did qualify in terms of merit,” Wouter Wessels, national leader of the FF Plus Youth, said.

Wessels reacted to reports of the University of Stellenbosch reversing the approved application of a prospective student to study medicine after discovering that she is white

Wessels added that this type of policy is creating a new generation of aggrieved citizens.  ”A child who was born in 1994 is turning 18 years old next year.  This should be a new hopeful generation. Continuous affirmative action policies have a negative effect on the whole of society.  The emphasis is only on race and not on merit – this has a negative impact on the esteem of society.  The negative baggage of the past should not be allowed to further taint the present and the future. The youth demands a better dispensation free of racism and marginalisation.”

Edwards Street is a popular party place for most of Cape Town, no matter which part of Cape Town people live they take the drive to the popular night destination. Unfortunately it is not as safe there as most people think. This weekend a guy by the name of Corne Hale died outside a popular Bellville nightclub after being attacked by 6 or so other party goers. As some people pointed out most of the crowd was drunk or had some alcohol. The Western Cape Education MEC expressed sympathy with the family. He was only 19 years old.

1 Man handed himself in.

Check out this sunset on Minecraft. Version 1 came out the other day and it rocks. Ok, except for those posts on Reddit about the game being half finished and that it might be a abodoned product most reviews went good. The game actually mostly got very high ratings.

The new features in version 1 also added a bit of extra gaming for those already half bored with it. Anyway, more about that later. For now check out the sunset.
