One thing windows needs, remind me later

December 7, 2008 by evl

As a windows user I got really annoyed with the constant popping up of junk that wanted to update. But since using Mac I have gotten used to the "remind me later" function that most programs give you. I find that quite anti annoying if there is such a word.

I still prefer GPL linux above Mac though.

I have removed my article because of all the swear words, i dont swear but this woman makes it hard not to swear. Really, who needs comedy when we have idiots like this living in our country.

To think that there are people like this dumb bitch on the roads, and even mayors?

Here is what the Sunday Times wrote about it

Small-town Afrikaners take mayor to court over bulldozing of plaque

Afrikaners from a small town in Mpumalanga have resumed the court fight with their mayor over the bulldozing of a Great Trek monument, which landed on a rubbish dump.

The Standerton Action Committee was in the Pretoria High Court this week again to demand that mayor Queen Radebe-Khumalo restore the commemorative plaque that was broken in 27 pieces after being ripped out of the road the Voortrekkers are believed to have travelled on on their journey north.

In court papers, residents claim that Radebe-Khumalo had no permission from the council to remove the plaque from its position in front of the town hall, but instructed the driver of a front-end loader to rip it up in the middle of the night when no one was watching.

But in responding documents, Radebe-Khumalo, who residents accuse of behaving

Another reason to keep your data off the cloud and get your own hosting Aol to nuke content

October 22, 2008 by evl

theodp writes "Blaming an unquantified decline in usage, AOL has notified users it's decided the best thing to do is delete all of their blogs and files on October 31st. Want to save that precious blog of yours? AOL not-so-helpfully suggests: 'The quickest and easiest way to do this is by copying and pasting your content into a word processing document such as Microsoft Word, Notepad or even into an email and mailing it back to yourself. If you have any images we suggest you save them separately by right clicking on the image, choosing "Save Picture As" and allocate the drive on your PC where you would like to save them to.' Gee, thanks. And don't get too smug, Google users - the search giant has put its users on notice that Google Page Creator will be a thing of the past by year-end, although details of the transition have yet to be provided."

See how you should not put your stuff on free places and rather spend that R80 or $10 and getting your own domain? Depending on the cloud for a blog or rather anything is just not that bright.
