So, I've been away for a long time. Lots has happened: dropped out of varsity, became a shroom-munching coke-head stoner hippy, grew some dreads, had those cut off in rehab, nearly 2 years clean and sober now... Phew! I needed to just get that out of the way. Nowadays I'm back to living with Mom and Dad, cuz it keeps me safe, and I do websites for an advertising agency. Which is stressful, so

Haven't posted here for ages. Nothing much to say anymore really. No one who's listening anymore really. I signed up for MySpace if you care: clicky.Other than that, a while back I was sent this e-mail. I was gonna put it up but then left the whole blog thing alone. Better late than never:Hi. My name is Eugene Gershin. Perhaps we have met online, but more probably you don't know me from Adam.

Happy new year everyone!I just got an email from a Yahoo! address. It finishes with an auto-inserted note mentioning that they have one of the best spam protection systems. Guess what the email was about? Spam!Here we have something called a safe cab. Which is just like a normal taxi except, presumably, safer.

It's all over. The baddest nation in the world just went AWOL. President Bush singed a law which revokes habeas corpus.Habeas corpus is a basic individual right against arbitrary arrest and imprisonment.This means that he can imprison anyone he wants, for as long as he wants, no matter what anyone else wants. Without any trial. Can you say despotism?Go here to read more about it. I advise

It seems that torture is still happening in Abu Ghraib. But now the torturing is not being done by soldiers. It's being done by private contractors obtained from US companies. Oh, and 14-year old girls are being raped there in the 'rape room'. Terrorists? Methinks the US are the terrorists.Oh, and the Tibetan genocide continues.

This world is so fucked up. North Korea has done their nuke test, and before you know it Bush will feel the need to prove that only one country can have nukes (just so the others won't make any) and that country will be America, because they have the most already, and if you don't like it we'll nuke you.

It seems that Google's book search feature (which I was actually hitherto unaware of) is not having an adverse effect on book sales, but rather is increasing sales as a result of referrals from the Google book search. Probably has something to do with the fact that reading a book on a screen SUCKS. Clicky here-y for more info.

Here's something that got me thinking:It's likely that we're so conditioned to hearing the same conditioned claptrap from politicians that when we listen to someone who speaks transparently, we don't know how to actually listen to what's said.This is with reference to an upcoming election in Texas.There is a film coming up that I'm quite excited to see when it comes out.

I had a talk with my parents tonight.We are so different. I sometimes think that the reason we keep drifting further apart is because I'm afraid of confrontation. I don't talk to them because I want to keep a certain peace. Oh, I talk to my parents like normal people. There is just not that much connection there anymore. We don't talk much anymore.

The middle east is gonna blow up. Whatever America is going to make of this situation, it can only be bad, mainly because the Americans are a bunch of greedy bullies who'll take what they want because no one will stop them.The funny part is that the whole world is hating America (or at least so it seems, it's that or they don't care at all), while the mainstay of it's people either don't realise

There is an article about the Queen in this week's Time magazine. What amazes me is that most of Europe has not done away with the stupid system of royalty. Why should we keep a class of people that have extorted the masses and compelled us to do their will for a good part of our history? Royals basically just win the genetic lottery: the accident of their birth is the sole reason for their

This blog has gone through some incarnations, and the latest one is actually still in progress. This time the blog will expand on a scale that has not been seen before.When I first started this blog about a year ago, I didn't really know what I was going to do with it. I had had several failed homepages before, but I had heard a lot of hype about blogging, so I signed up to find out what it was

I read this in a .net magazine article. The question is whether software (and thus also web) developers should be held liable for bad code.This of course raises several issues, the first of which is what constitutes bad code? Is it insecure code? Is it a web page which does not degrade gracefully?Personally I think that bad code is code which is insecure at the time of launch. It is bad code

Lately the buzzword on the Internet is Web 2.0. What is Web 2.0, you may ask. Web 2.0 is the name of a convention on the current trends and user demands concerning the Internet. But it is much more than that. The name has become synonymous with the next evolution of the web. The idea is to break free from the current constraints of the web.When the web was young, it was very one-sided. It

My blog has been going for almost eleven months now. Eleven months of me posting mostly useless dribble. Really, maybe some of my friends care about my life, but most passers-by will not.

I'm not that happy with my current Linux distro (Debian). I mean it's good, but I can't figure out how to use the network card (and thus cannot connect to the net using Linux), and it has a lot of programs that I will never ever use. So I've decided to go for Linux From Scratch.Crazy? Maybe.

Not because blogger is bad, it's just that i, as a web designer who is learning about PHP would like more control over my blog.I've been learning a little bit of background info about hacking lately. It seems very interesting but also very time-consuming to start. I also found Phrack magazine. The first issues of it

Hey no post for a while.My dad is working hard and because of that I haven't had much time on the 'net lately.Varsity is all right. I've met some cool new people lately and I hang around them quite often. I broke up with Julia. The spark had kinda gone and she felt the same way so it was like a mutual thing. We basically decided that it was lots of fun while it lasted.I've been slacking on the

OK people. My dad has started up for himself (again) and he's working from home (again), and he spends most of the day behind the computer (again), so I don't have much online-time (again). That's why there have been no updates lately.In other news, varsity has started again, and I failed one subject. Luckily for me I don't need it as a prerequisite for something else. I also have only four

I decided that my computer is ready for Linux, so I went to the Debian homepage to download the sucker. Little did I know that that invloved downloading about ten CD's worth of data. No way! So I have ordered it instead, from these guys. I just need to actually pay them and then they will send the order through. In the meantime I suppose I should start backing up my computer for when I partition

No post for a while, sorry about that.Well, I've been busy doing... nothing, to be honest. It's holidays dammit. I can do that if I want! I'm going to Live 8 tomorrow, with Julia. Apparently the line-up in South Africa isn't that good, but hey, she's got backstage passes so I'm not passing that up.I fixed my hookah, by that I mean I put in one-way valves.

It takes quite some time browsing to find something interesting for every day, so from now on I will only give one link, even if I missed three days.

I tried KNOPPIX yesterday (I've fucked up the CD by now though, don't ask) and I must say that Linux runs pretty well. It was a bit slow, but that is because this version ran straight from the CD. Considering that, it is faster than Windows (and looks better too). If you also consider the fact that Linux is more stable than Windows, and that less virusses are written for Linux than for Windows, I

Today I write my Accounting exam. I've been up the whole night studying. I didn't get any sleep. The only reason I can manage this is because of coffee.You see, normally I don't drink coffee.

Got the tires, but couldn't do the alignment.Anyway me and Julia talked a lot about sex. Don't ask why, we just did.

We are gonna get one of my borther's friends so badly at the party. Let me tell you about Dylan. Dylan believes that it his mission in life to get with every girl on the face of the world that is not absolutely revolting. That is a lot of girls. Naturally, that makes Dylan a slut.Now, at the party, there should be a fair amount of girls from Univeristy. This is a whole other level for Dylan.

I just took a good long hard look at the blog and I realised that some redesigning is urgent. It looks like shit. Really. So, in the near future, expect redesigns!

What the fuck? Yes, it's the Shins, forget the Hives, the White Stripes, and other inanimate objects. That's yesterday, and today it's all about body parts (well for me it's always about body parts, but for you only today)! The Shins are an awesome band. Very cool music. Imagine the Beatles, but then well, not quite the same. In fact, quit imagining, and download some of their music.I had a test

I went to the doctor today, and it turns out I have a throat, ear, sinus and gland infection on one side of my body, and the other side is getting sick too. Yippy!Anyway, if you feel like fighting poverty and AIDS (two birds with one stone), go to The ONE Campaign and help them out. It won't cost you money, just some time.

Last night was cool. I've got a lot to study for, three tests this week, so this will be short and mostly just the link. It seems that whatever me an Julia are having involves some kind of monogamous commitment, which is fine with me.Wayback Machine

Last night I had a fever of 39.°C. I feelt like I was about to die. I had the worst headache I've ever had, because my blood pressure was so high it felt like my eyes were about to pop out. Aspirine did jack shit, and miprodol(sp?) only partially worked. I was soaked in my bed, I felt like I had just gotten out of the shower. I couldn't get to sleep, and walking was dangerous because of how dizzy

I woke up this morning and one of my glands, the one right below the jawline, was swollen. It doesn't look that way, but it fucking feels like it. Swallowing is hell.Anyway not much to say at the moment. I will be back sometime to give you more daily links.Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Infocom Adventure

Hahhaha the test is over. I have triumphed over the test. It is finished, while I still have a looooooong way to go. On second thought, that doesn't make me so happy.The test wasn't that bad, thanks for caring. Anyway, nothing much has happened today other than making those flyers and thinking of a really cool cult treasure hunt idea.Basically, it's a mix of puzzle and search game. Let's say

It's my birthday today!!!! Woot!But unfortunatley for me, I must use the time I have off today to study for a test tomorrow. Yes I have Accounting tomorrow. It's a bitch. It's allright though, because at least we haven't gone over the thousend page mark. No, we stayed nice and comfortable at page 925 till the end of that statement. God I hate Accounting.But it is a necessary process that I must

Yeah, so, uhm. Hi... I'm back...DON'T SHOOT ME ALREADY!Excuse the very late appearance. There were certain things that needed to be... done. No pun intended.Life has carried on, it seems without me. Good thing I have only disappeared for two days, otherwise it might not have been so easy to come back into human life.I have an accounting test in two days that I have not started to study for. On

Well, recently I've been enjoying the single life. Hence no post yesterday. Stop worrying, you'll get two links. :)I've met a girl called Julia. She's really cool to hang out with. Kinda random, kinda weird, but fun all round. Her family is really different to what most of us are used to. Her mom has a hydroponics shed in the garden, and wasn't the slightest bit concerned when I showed up in her

Hey sorry for the rather late update. Blogger was giving me some grief earlier today. I'm too lazy to write about what happened last night and today. Rest assured that you will find out in due time.Today's link:SoYouWanna.com

It seems that she's not really into me. She just changed the subject, oh well what can you do?Anyway I realise that I missed yesterday's post so today I will give you two (yes, count 'em!) links:Everything you ever wanted to know about dreadlocksWant a Gmail invite? Get one here

Well, on Saturday I went out with a girl called Nicole. I really like her. I sent her an sms telling her this after I dropped her off at her place and she hasn't replied. That's because she's out of airtime (I know that for a fact), but it also means that I don't know how she feels. Today I will see her again (at uni) and then I suppose I'll find out what is going on.Today's link:Comprehensive

I think it would be cool to have a daily link feature. I'll find something on the web, every day, that is cool to see, disgusting, fun, or otherwise interesting, and link to it here, so check back often for the daily link. The best links will get a permanent spot under links at the bottom of the page. Today's link:Wide-eye-media

I was going to go do Le Parkour today with Nik and my brother, but the weather has screwed us over royally. It is cloudy and although it is not raining right now, it's rained a bit before, and it looks like it will rain again.So, I am posting here because I've got a bit of time before I go to see a movie and I'm bored of surfing the web. By the way, check out life of a demure college student.

I'm just messing around with the colour scheme of the blog at the moment, so don't be surprised if it changes often. When I find something I really like, it will stay. I'm using the Color Scheme Generator 2 to help me with my choice of colours. You didn't think that my natural taste in colours was that good, did you?

Last Saturday me and all the other traceurs from PKSA, and also Baxter from Cape Town, went to an expo to show 2one4 Marketing, Red Bull, Lucky Strike, 94.7 Outdoor Events and FHM what Le Parkour is all about.But it was raining, so most of 2one4 didn't show, and neither did FHM. Anyway 94.7 and Red Bull were lank impressed. We will be doing another show sometime soon.

Apparently the extreme sports channel is coming to South Africa. But only in one location: Boogaloos Skate park in Monte Casino. I took a look at their forums, and I can't say that I'm impressed. It seems like most of the people there are skaters who don't like any other sport, 'cause they're the most 'extreme' guys out there, and are also generally ignorant about Le Parkour. Not their fault I
