I have a problem with Standard Bank and the way they handle their Credit Card Division. Apart from their bumbling incompetence, I discovered a way to obtain all the balance details on a particular credit card. What’s more scary, the level of security is minimal.
Here’s how:
1) Dial +27 11 241 1000
2) Press ‘2′ for [...]

Suddenly, after being solicited to us for weeks, within days of R.E.M. leaving the country, no more of their music is being played by mainstream radio. How sad. I hope the DJs and their producers, as well as the concert promoters feel very shameful at their blatant attempts to exploit the public.
Does the SABC really [...]
Well, here it is, eventually, the link to my (prohibited) photos of R.E.M.’s concert in Johannesburg on 10 March 2005.
There’s actually a dodgy video clip or four in that collection too.
(I eventually ran out of memory on my camera).
Enjoy!
What a phenomenal story! A uniquely talented artist going by the name “Banksy” walked into the four largest museums in New York City and proceeded to exhibit his own works – simply a case of sticking them on the wall, really. Fantastic. Apparently two of the works have been removed, but the other two remain [...]
Great news!
I’m ecstatic to announce that I passed my LPIC Level 1 Certification and will be looking into Level 2 in the near future. More info about LPI is here.
You can verify my certification here. Just plug in my LPIID : LPI000076500 (a styling LPI number, isn’t it?) and my verification code: nke8af4ju3.
So it seems the days of seeing a “blue screen of death” at the airport may be over, however they have been lovingly replaced with a “low disk space warning”. See Now arriving… low disk space”. Looking closely the problem appears to stem from Arkansas, but at least it is timely.
Brilliant. Yep. That is the word that best describes the entire R.E.M. experience. Sure there were downsides and upsides, but it averages out to brilliant.
My first coup of the evening was getting my camera in. If I pay R370 for a ticket I’d like to be able to take a couple of snaps. So I [...]

Yes, R.E.M. mania has hit South Africa hard and the pace is not letting up. I’m starting to get real excited about the concert on Thursday. The venue is sold-out and the crowd is hungry. The media has been pushing R.E.M. down our throats from all angles.
Judging by the shows in Cape Town last weekend [...]
Laugh It Off productions, the small company that inspired a nation of parody T-shirts has not given up in their battle against the SABMiller brewing giant. Today they argued an appeal in front of the Constitional Court for the freedom to express their parody slogans. Good for them, hopefully the constituional court will think a [...]
Interesting! As a follow up to my discussion on Open Source with Brad, this morning I saw a great article at linuxdevcenter. Yes, Peruvians into Open Source(Dr. Edgar David Villanueva Nunez) rock! Why? Read this. Brilliant.
