WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION

THESE ARE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION
ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME
WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE,
AND THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE:

1. My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you has screwed up my life.

2. I see your face when I am dreaming.
That’s why I always wake up screaming.

3. Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.

4. Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,
But I only slept with you ’cause I was pissed.

5. I thought that I could love no other
– that is until I met your brother.

6. Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl’s
empty and so is your head.

7. I want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don’t take that paper bag off your face.

8. I love your smile, your face, and your eyes
Damn, I’m good at telling lies!

9. My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

10. My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe ’Go to hell.’

11. What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.

WHO SAID POETRY IS BORING?

Java & Camera

So, I’ve been doing the whole php programming thing for about 5 years. I started off in a beginners job, I studied digital design then went and told a company I was more interested in programming than anything else and they gave me a job. Through this whole process I still don’t have anything saying I am a developer. So to get that sorted out I am doing a Java course. I like the language, you can do more than just web sites with it, so I plan to get good at it. I want to look into the mobile apps mainly as they seem to be big at the moment but not going to limit myself to that.

Slowly getting a few things sorted out, I have work out a way of getting a camera, which involves a lot of nice people and a site where you don’t have to buy a product all at once. I still haven’t found the right site but once I find it I will post up a link.

Been trying to take more photos with what I got but my cell does not produce good photos and the camera I got from my brother just seems to give issues. I will have to glue the damn thing to a rock to make sure it is still enough to take a picture that does not blur. I have looked into the setting to see if there is something I have missed but still not doing it for me.

Think for yourself

IE6 The reason the web is not going anywhere fast. If you are running wordpress I highly recommend you install this great plugin. Shockingly Big IE6 Warning
I know its not always the users falt that they are still on IE6. There are a number of companys who manage thousands of desktops each day which run IE6 and why bother changing something that works. But at some point we will need to change. The new developments in HTML5 are too great to not take advantage of them.

Looking at finally get some sort of programming certificut, you know that thing programmers have. I dont have any yet, just worked my way up. Going to check out a java course tomorrow.

In other thoughts, figured out a cool little app to write. Not going to say anything about it till I have done some research but I think it will be great for security on the net.

One thing at a time

Hmm, so its been awhile since I upgraded my site, loving the latest wordpress. Been meaning to upgrade but was afraid of losing everything and have to waste time fixing the site. That is not the case luckily. it went very well and I have no complaints about the upgrade process.

on other news I came up with a funny website which I am currently building. It will still be sometime before it goes live but think it might make a buck or two and I’m writing it in cake so Will not be heavy development time.

I am still working on getting a camera and start shooting. things are going slow with that idea though. There have been some issues in my life that will slow most of my plans down. I have already registered a new account on deviant art for uploading my images.

Google Friends connector

Follow up on the friends connector scripts.

I like the idea that google can handle my comments, how ever from using it the past little while there are a few things I need to make note of. When a new comment comes I do not get notified of it, I’m hoping this can be changed via the control panel of google, going to check it out just now. Second I selected the option to use ID’s and not pages so I can have more than one box on a page. As you can see from my home page that hasn’t worked out so great. Only one box is displayed at a time.

Other than those two things I am happy with it, so now its time to make it better.

Have a great Wednesday.

Appearance at interviews

So doing the whole job searching thing has got my parents talking about my look again, I think its there favourite topic. They speak about it every chance they get. Not sure why, if you compare me and my brother, he is the smarter looking one and should be better off, also he studied at UCT and got very far yet is earning nothing compared to me. One more thing to think about hey.

What I wanted to really know is that if someone came to an interview in a smart casual outfit would that be a bad thing? I mean I don’t own any shirts yet I got other clothes that are very smart. The type of thing I would got to work in sometimes.

How important is this to you, a fake person who is selling themselves to you or a passionate person who does not hide the truth about themselves.

I would love to know what other people think on this subject.

Google gOS – Marriage over Twitter

So its been awhile since I posted anything. had a small break and spent all my time working around my house. not really a break but I didn’t get near a computer for the whole week, which is different for me.

Anyway, so there are two things that top my mind today. First I see Google has released a operating system with all there app attached to it. The screen-shot look really cool and the amount of memory needed to run the OS is only 256 MB which is nothing compared to the average machine today. I’m a little worried about the usefulness of there OS without a internet connection as something that uses so little ram would be great for this country but if a 24/7 connection is needed then it might be a waste of time. I will have to wait and see though. don’t have a copy yet and not sure if I will be able to get one too soon.

On a happy note, two unknown people to me go engaged over twitter…
Still not sure how I feel about this, the whole thing is a virtual event so far, they are not in the same city at the moment so everything is happening over the net.

twitter.com/film_girl
twitter.com/grobertson

Well what ever happens I hope the two of them have a great life together and don’t spend too much of it in a virtual space.

Here be my favourite link of the week: 29 Really Creepy and Creative Photoshopped Self Portraits

Got my Adgator banner ->

Sweet, will dig to see how this all works and what the results will be like, I like testing these things out. Truth be told I never make any money out of them I do enjoy seeing how they work. Don’t think you wont make any money from it, I just never work hard on getting the visitors I need to make the cash. Note to self, make a plan to get the bigger banner on here.

I have recently started doing some more posts and am currently trying to think of a theme for this site to give relative content.

OK moving on got to get back to work, want to go home soon but need to get stuff done. I’ll be at Gotham tonight if anyone wants to see me.

Cheers for now..
