Facebook knows who I might know…

20080418

I rarely log into my Facebook account, merely because I find it to be huge black hole of information and over zealous features that sucks you in and leaves you an hour later with no sense of direction or what you were doing before you started.

So when I did log in I saw a nifty new facebook feature on the homepage. An box displaying people who you might know on in the sidebar of the Facebook Layout. This feature, is an algorithm that no doubt easily determines who are friends with lots of your friends and/or come from the same hometown.

Not a bad feature but, never the less it brings up those people you’ve been trying to ignore or people you rejected ages ago. Haha.

Mostly I get people from school who I never really spoke to at all, so the novelty of it wore off pretty quickly. Hehe.

State of the Internet 2009

I loved Amsterdam. I can do nothing but rave about how great it is. I most likely should be complaining about how expensive or how cold the weather was, but all I want to do is revisit this wonderful city with it’s whirling bikes and cobbled alley ways. One thing I really loved about Amsterdam was [...] read more

Torchlight, Diablo 3 killer?

I’m making a ridiculous statement right out the gates and oddly so because Diablo 3 has not even been released yet. Why say it’s a killer? That’s because Torchlight is exactly what you’d expect the next Diablo to be like. From the start Torchlight submerges you in a neat new world, instantly throwing you into the [...] read more

Rome, Florence, Rome

Booked in the spur of the moment, we were on our way to a four nights stay in Italy. Two nights in Rome and two nights in Florence separated by a four hour train journey. Italy is an incredibly beautiful part of the world with amazing culture, breathtaking monuments and ridiculous traffic. For the backpacking traveler, [...] read more

A night in Betties Bay

Nils and Christi, my “doctor friends”, invited me along for a night with the old gang for a braai, two nights before I had to leave for Ireland. The next morning we went for a dive to take out crayfish. Sadly I don’t have any photos of myself in the Neoprene cladding. Please invite me again, [...] read more

The Killers, Cape Town, 2009

As promised, I will be sharing some of the love The Killers showed the attendees of yesterdays concert. Any chance we as Cape Townians get to go to a big concert, we leap at the opportunity. This was the case with The Killers live in concert, churning out about 20 000, individuals ready for big sound [...] read more

Version 4

An emotional moment comes as I finally polish up this LONG overdue theme for my site. Many things can attribute to this theme taking well over 6 month to complete. Among those are the love/hate relationship I have with design, the lack of focus and the need to get everything perfect. My site is not perfect. [...] read more

District 9 out of 9

This past week I went to go see District 9 again. The make of any good movie is one that you can watch twice in quick succession only to appreciate it even more. The subtle South African flavor coupled with a unique story, told in an uncanny documentary style fashion made for an enjoyable second [...] read more

Firefox 3.5 fixed my Gmail!

Before today my Gmail at work was CRAP! Heck knows why. It was slow, unresponsive, struggling to log in, took for ever so send email, annoying and unusable. Until I upgraded to the new Firefox 3.5 today. Joy rains unon thee! Gmail lives and it seems like there was an upgrade on the Google side of [...] read more
