Re: Keeping Your Facebook Profile Professional

Now this is an interesting view I have never thought of. Since I nearly never log in I would not be aware of what is really showing up on my profile. It makes sence to login and clean up your contacts if they show actions (videos and pictures) that could be seen as part of your character.

Re: Scott Rafer: The Facebook Platform is Dead

Since I started to use Twitter I now nearly never get to login to facebook. Maybe it is just that I am so busy and that Twitter (using Twitterfox) is so in my face all the time, I do not know.

I personally think that this just a temporary setback for Facebook and that it should get up to speed again. In South Africa it is just starting out. Now only if Twitter do not take over the whole scene getting them to sign up with twitter before they know what facebook is - now then I suppose they will suffer huge traffic loss.

All I can see that they can do id to bring out a huge FireFox Plugin that stays open on their profile all the time...

Re: What I would do if I had $100,000

I would use a $100,000 to get out of debt if I can :-)

Imagine what you can do with about 5 times that much. One the one hand with the current rate of about 8 South African Rands (R8) against the US dollar, I could get myself a beautiful piece of coastal property in South Africa... or with the uncertainty of the current property regulations you may want to invest elsewhere. Pitty.

If I get $100,000 - I'd like you to keep it for me until I know what to do with it :-)

Re: Make Your PC Run Faster

gerthough,

I must admit, one must balance out the cost of old memory vs. the cost of getting an inexpensive "new" computer. Sometimes we just need to treat ourself to a new computer. Technology is always advancing, and computers become out dated quickly.

Memory is never a bad idea, but don't forget to check for malware and such too. This can make a potentially fast computer crawl!

Keep me posted on your memory upgrade.

Chris ;D

Just what I needed to hear. My working computer is running so slow it is scary!

I will get myself a new computer (for my birthday) later this year and boy will that piece go! But in the mean time I have to add some memory. While I am at it, I think I will go into town and ask if they have any DDR memory.

And while I am away, I may as well update my windows... :-)

Thank you for your support, wishing to help out poor helpless animals who are sadly victims of this storm.

Hi CHris. Will do. Pets are too much taken for granted and used until it does not fit our situation. We might as well give something back for all the emotional benefit a pets give us. A short post in one's blog is so cheap that anyone with a blog can afford it. Take care. Gert Hough.
