How to cook with what you have recipes

February 20, 2009 by Daizy

I came across this really cool site. I am a very imaginative cook I can make a meal out of basically anything but sometimes I'm just not in the mood and there are really not much in my kitchen to speak off. But this site is so much fun first you select like what you have for example onions,salt,bread,baked beans then this thing spits out recipes that you can make with whatever you have at hand. The name is cookingbynumbers just click and go check it out. The theme is not that exciting but if you like to be adventurist by trying new things, especially when it involves food, you would love it.

Kleinmond camping site

January 6, 2009 by evl

This is Kleinmond Camping site. Kleinmond is a small town in the Overberg about 30km from Hermanus. This camping site rocks, we stayed there once and it was empty, we were braaiing and in the middle of the night something came and ate the food and ripped the tent apart. Sounded like a tiger or mountain lion. Still not sure till today. kleinmond-camping-site.kml kleinmond camping site

British Culture Secretary Andy Burnham wants to filter your internet.

December 31, 2008 by evl

The British Culture Secretary Andy Burnham has purposed that the US and the UK stand together (like they did with iraq and messed it up) to filter the internet. Now this turd wants to decide for you, what exactly you may or may not watch. First of all he used the smoke screen that children need to be protected while they are left on their own for hours. That point is just as stupid as the idea itself. For instance. Would you leave your child in the road unattended? Would you leave your child in a city unattended? No you wont, just like the internet. Its not called the communication highway mr turd Andy Burnham. Filtering the internet with a movie style rating system is FAIL. Yes, you cant slap a sticker on a site and give it a rating that some pommy decides this shit is bad for your mother or your UNATTENDED child as you mentioned. I have a idea, why dont you mr Andy Burham first go read about this thing called the internet. You might learn a few things. One of which the internet is one of the best tools in the world to protect civilization from idiots like you. In case you dont know what I am talking about you can read here:

4 things that annoy me as a blogger

December 24, 2008 by evl

Rss feeds

I hate it when people use my rss feed. Seriously, you want to read my stuff then come to my site. I cant stand it when sites and bloggers tell how many Rss subscribers they have. I bet you not even 1% of people that are subscribed to a site actually come and visit the site.

Although I hate it when people read my rss feed on a reader I still like reading other sites on readers. I know, my right to be annoying.

Leaving url in comment

Sometimes I am amazed at people. The comment section clearly states url. Now that means you dont have to repeat your url in the actual comment, it saves you time and effort. But no, you get these annoying people that fill in a comment and then put their urls under what they've written. Maybe someone should make a comment how-to to explain how the thing works.

Telling people where you've not been before

I have done exactly this for some time until I realized how stupid I must of sound to those that really has been there and know what they are talking about. Although I now have the experience, i also blogged about how to make money before I actually made money.

its like fooling people into believing you make money to make money from them.

Link exchange

I get these really annoying emails asking for link exchange. Here's a tip. Link your one page to your other page. There you have a link. Happy now?

The Princess and the Frog - Movie trailer

December 22, 2008 by Daizy

the_princess_and_the_frog Yipee! At last a new princess movie from Disney! It's been years since we have had one of these most probably because children have changed so much since I was a little girl. But I am so excited about this movie can't wait to go watch it with my little princess shell just love it, mainly because of the frog she loves frogs hehe. Now the only problem I have is I can't find any info of the film not even at the official site. All I got is that it's about a African American girl named Princess Tiana in the old Louisiana during the New Orleans' French Quarter. Even though that is it this tiny trailer hints at great promise of a lovely movie with tons of laughter :)

Where to watch and find breaking news online - For news junkies

December 18, 2008 by evl

I am a real news junkie. I dont know why but its like an addiction. I want to know things before the rest of the world knows them Also running a blog I can blog about things before others blog about it. Its just plain addictive. So here are a few places to get stuck on looking for breaking news. Some you know, some you might not. Some are obvious. Lets explore: Google News Google News is probably a crowd favorite and I can understand why. Instead of just showing one news source it shows the collective topic all the news sites are talking about. So instead of just finding one breaking news story, you'll find that breaking news story showing all the sites that write about it. One thing worth it is to customize your news on Google News. Personally I dont like sport so i removed it. screen-capture.png Newsvine Newsvine is like a news community where you can vote on news and share news. Its basically as I said a news community. This is worth checking out although if you are not living in the US you might not enjoy it that much since it mostly focussed on US stories. screen-capture-1.png Twitter Twitter can be a great source to find breaking news. Oddly most people that have breaking news usually use the words "breaking news" For instance doing a search on search.twitter.com and searching for "breaking news" will give you many results and mostly when bloggers and tweeters break the news, it's before the news channels and papers. screen-capture-2.png Addict-o-matic (addictomatic.com) This is a different type of way to find the news. This will not really show you all the breaking news from random topics but will enable you to find news about a specific topic. By choosing your sources and typing in your wanted word you want news for it enables you to find news or articles from various places. Although you can find breaking news here about a topic you might also find things that are a bit older. screen-capture-3.pngscreen-capture-4.png screen-capture-5.png screen-capture-6.png

Digg and Wordpress dont mix

November 29, 2008 by evl

Back in the day, sort of like two years ago when the internet was still younger and much more unspammed wordpress was great to see on the frontpage of Digg. Tonight I wondered why we dont get to see those great Wordpress articles on the frontpage of Digg and I soon discovered shit loads of spam. But in the spam was some great articles hidden, i realised that the Wordpress crowd and the Digg crowd is two different groups. No kidding. My point is that any great Wordpress article must be something else than a theme or a plugin that might sound frontpage worthy, it should be something that change Wordpress or the way we use wordpresss. Another thing I've noticed is only trusted sites gets to the front page of Digg, (no shit) the point I am trying to make is that you just wont find great Wordpress articles on Digg so you might as well stop looking.
