Re: Parent slams Cresta Mall in wake of merry-go-round incident

My daughter has been on that ride before. The operator was on duty the whole time and didn't wander off. However I must add that for a new facility its already shocking. The turnstile for the carousel was broken already and if you venture toward the back of Route 66 where the bumper cars are you might may just want to puke as the smell of sewerage is unbearable.

I spoke to the staff about it a few weeks back and was told its always like that.

Re: How I killed email

For Windows Outlook users you can take charge of your mailbox with ClearContext. It makes sorting email into project/topic folders a breeze and can even store the dreaded send items with them.

Deferring mail to later dates and auto-filing conversations is cool. Like when you're CC'd on an email thread and decide to ignore it, you simply unsubscribe and ClearContext just auto files all of it away so it doesn't bother you.

Re: 5 ways Cape Town plans to solve its growing traffic mess

Business hours are often unavoidable. Businesses should be encouraged to implement work-from-home policies where feasible. It reduces the number of people to transport daily, decreases the carbon footprint, reduces stress levels in traffic and increases productivity and family time.

Re: South African Olympic medal winners to get extra cash

CraigN — Tue, 23 Aug 2016 08:39:51 -0000

Does anyone else think its shocking how poor this article content is? Firstly its headline concerns the athletes getting extra cash. The author went to the effort of putting a summary per athlete at the end but couldn't be bothered to add the extra cash incentives to the previously reported figures.

I think it should be pointed out to the Staff Writer that "Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich" is not a Swedish college, but a Swiss college in Switzerland not Sweden.

Cool tip Simon.

Re: So what exactly is Google Wave?

CraigN — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:39:19 -0000

It sounds like a great idea, also missed the first invite wave. However unless it becomes an open standard and gets adopted, I doubt it'll become too popular as its kinda like a closed system.

Re: Orchestrated Axxess to my bank account?

CraigN — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:17:33 -0000

I believe the problem with Axxess is that their bandwidth accounting is not realtime in any way. I run an uncapped account and it seems to only accumulate bandwidth when the link drops and this seems to only happen once or twice a month.

Maybe for a router reset daily.

Re: Microsoft’s misguided Xbox Live strategy

CraigN — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 06:06:53 -0000

Sure we pay full price and we don't have the full Xbox LIVE experience. Consider the alternative, we could be without the Xbox 360 console at all waiting for official Xbox LIVE support and the console to be released in South Africa still.

I'm not trying to justify the decision by Microsoft to release the console locally before Xbox LIVE, I'm just attempting to put things in perspective. Supporting Xbox LIVE in South Africa is not as simple as adding South Africa to the supported countries list.

If you'd like to chat about it, get in touch with me.
