@Vincent indeed deserved .. and more to come I know , I've heard tales of the legend of the Maher mind. Apparently, a tequila or two may also be missing on your recipe for innovation (your brainfuel of choice or so the story has it ;-)

In due seriousness though we do need to get involved in the policy-making process or at least actively guiding the strategy for long term sustainability in SA. The government with its pack of parasitic parastatals is unlikely to shape reality in the form of those kind of reforms without pressure and a practical plan. It's worth taking a look at Alec Erwin's planned infrastructure policy for the next 3years. As a practical framework to begin discussions, particularly as regard the telecomms development which affects the growth of our sector in particular.

It's altogether far too late at night to be thinking about getting into the thick mucky complexities of tax and the instantly inflammatory ZA banking sector and creating incentives for risk. But certainly glad we're starting to have some worthwhile conversation.

oops typo market was meant

holymoses!! WTFlaminghell is going on?!
LOLs a lot .. wow.. everyone is working L8 tonight.
@Paul - so wild I do the scheduled backups & before I know it Eric has put up 3 new posts and a directory - he's a content-machine, it's scary!! just like going to bath & coming back to find a comment-party on wiredgecko .. I think he's one for daily backups.. changing the schedule NOW

For the rest i think perhaps a little tootle over to the "third blog aggregator project" page may be worthwhile as an aside : possibly, maybe or perhaps Eric was taking a little bit of the mickey out of the market's & providing a bit of the jester's perspective (just a thought). Could be why pacman is making an appearance? We honestly can't take ourselves so seriously in all of this. Strewth, maybe I'm wrong & Eric is trying to take over the world, haven't spotted a white cat hopping on his lap yet, but I'll let y'all know the moment I do!

PS. a raving fan of Amatomu o'Maher-marvel - fark bru you have some skills

hahaha beleaguered Eric!! So sorry EE.
Chilibean you are devilish fast sir >>

ericedelstein.com is still in the throes of a tweak or two in the backend so we've had a little glitch or two. One of them being that we lost that post completely while doing a bit of traffic control. We could have restored to a backup but then lost comments on the more recent posts :-/ so we lost all the comments attributed to the 3rd aggregator post.

Sorry if I spoiled the fun :-( I know well that Eric is CERTAINLY not shy of controversy or meeting criticism openly for his ideas. Mea culpa not the Eric Edelstein Publicity & Censorship Campaign at work :-P

Paul I don't believe there's a sense of a dark web developing, it's always been like this online.. it's just that <a href="http://maxkaizen.com/2007/03/27/its-been-coming-time-to-play-indoors-again/
">the blogospheric bubble has popped & we're in the world, good, bad whatever.

There was a good reason why most people had no idea I was a woman.. I've been online for long enough to watch plenty of this happen. I've had some fairly interesting commentary myself, it's just like life. After Kathy posted I took a breath in and went to go reset the privacy on some of my spots, but fear can't devour us or we'd be lost. More than ever it's important to focus on progress and developing sensible secure online protocols to protect those who work and play here.

THANK HEAVENS for you Paul keeping an eye on the boundaries for us!
We undoubtedly need more Creative Commons education for our community and for those corporates who seek to play on our playground.
much thanks chilibean

hahaha good job Vinny why is it that we can't just ignore this ploy. Though there is something marginally delicious about sharing the wackier things about ourselves. Stopforth got me.

Looking forward to seeing you at the geek dinner ;-)

no doubt in my mind Paul.. the geek shall inherit the earth ;-)
Gr8 job on the tagging experiment BTW
