After going to the drupal meetup in Johannesburg (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=24383837792 ) - I always feel so inspired. Hence the blog entry and the tagadelic module running on the right hand side.

Your honor, exhibit A - the gun. Exhibit B - mother superior. I have no idea why she jumped the gun. Still. To this day.

In other conclusions and happenings - lost the POE port on my RB333 so I am having to split the network cable to hopefully still carry POE and 4 wires to carry data to another port. (yeah, sucks) - i think it was an act of God.

I think I officially prefer PS3 to xbox360. The xbox360 is pretty loud for a media center. There is a 80 gig ps3 bundle with MGS4 coming out in July to SA (according to animeworx). Will look at getting it there.

I also have a friend in the states bringing me back a new camera! (yay, last one got stone) - So im getting a Nikon D300 with 18-200VR lens. Then also an iPhone which i plan to hack to work on CellC. (well, thats the plan).

Oooh, and then just a punt for LSD - Linux System Dynamics (http://www.lsd.co.za) (gotta keep rankings up you know)

Just an update on some random happenings. Firstly Facebook. If you haven't joined, join and link up to friends. I've found so many friends from school and around its great. Not to mention if you find a hot girl, you can say, hey, you know so and so and she knows him who knows me, so thats why im talking to you and im not really some wierd crazy stalker dude. want your panties back? oh. link

I've been having a massive fight to get my stupid 3G card swopped out on a Dell D820 notebook. Earlier Huwei cards had an issue. I got hold of a Globetrotter Option card which needs the Nozomi drivers to work. Luckily these dont compile under 2.6.20. Anyways, here's the fix that got it to compile

2.2alpha release in nozomi.c

Tonight Neil and I will be heading out to the suburbs for some night photography. Assuming its not raining, we dont freeze, or get mugged, hopefully i'll post some shots here tomorrow.

I started a photography course running for 6 weeks on a Wednesday night. Last night was the first lesson and all I can say is that im soo excited! The course is run by the National College of Photograpy and the Instructors seem pretty knowledgable. And they take Canon users apart (in a friendly kinda way). For those that don't know, i bought a Nikon D80 and 18-70mm lens while in the US.

I'll upload some of my pics as i go along.
