House buying issues

Buying a small house these days is not affordable to any of the locals here (myself included).
The real estate prices are over inflated, the foreigners buy up the bigger property and push up all the other prices even more, while the local population cannot even afford the most simple of houses, sicne most have a problem getting with their small amoutn of money through the month.

Missing graphics card

Yesterday evening I finally started rebuilding my old Pentium 1. After getting many cuts from replacing the power supply, I discovered that the main graphics card was missing. That PC has got two graphics cards, the second card is designed as an add-on and not a standalone card.
The search goes on.

Sunburn issues

Last weekend at the beach was great, it was nearly as great as the sunburn that I got (and wanted to get). Now everything is sore and itching at the same time.
Before I go to visit my family, I need to get a few more of these sunburns, otherwise it will be nasty when I get there.

Pokemon fever returns!

I did the ultimate sin: I started playing Pokemon again. That game is highly addictive. On Saturday I introduced a friend of mine to that game, now he is stuck on that as well.
It isn't a plain simple game like some people would think, it has adventure, RPG, puzzles, strategy, combat, humour and exploration. I would recommend it anytime.

John Foster from Sun Microsystems at the UCT in Cape Town

Last night, John Foster from Sun Microsystems gave a presentation to the Cape Linux Users Group (CLUG) at the UCT in Cape Town. The presentation was very enlightening and informative. Future developments look great and a lot of things make more sense now.
The presentation contained technical information from mobile, to the desktop to high end server clusters.
