The value of keeping software up to date
Today I eat humble pie… As webmail client I have long used squirrelmail, but had moved over to RoundCube. At the time of the install I pulled from svn – got it running and moved on.

Samsung Omnia’s new uses
Having been a Samsung Omina (i900) user for some time now I have to say that it’s almost as useful an iron as it is a phone. You may ask why I use it to remove creases from clothing – simple, its just always that hot – with the SERIOUSLY outdated South African firmware that …

Humble Beginnings
Well, it had to happen sooner or later I guess. I’ve been sucked into the self exposing pasttime of having a personal site to air my view, share my beliefs and generally let bits hang out. This site is my personal space and as such does not reflect the view of anyone but myself 😉 …
