Inspired by Jonathan Carter's Cake War and Let Them Eat Cake in 2006 and as a token of appreciation to the Ubuntu community (which is also part of the larger Linux community), I asked my wife to bake us a Ubuntu cake for the Jaunty release party in Pretoria, Karoo Cattle and Land at Irene Village Mall on Saturday, 25 April. Jaunty Jackalope is the code name for Ubuntu 9.04, which was released on

Reading Jonathan Schwarz's Blog is always fun and enlightening. Seeing him deliver his message in video format is even more fun.Here's my attempt at embedding the videos on this site. Enjoy.Understanding Sun in Three Easy Steps (1 of 4)Technology Adoption (2 of 4)

I've been following the development of Sunbird, part of the Mozilla Calendar Project for a long time, perhaps even as far back as it's very beginning in 2003 when the announcement was made "Mozilla Sunbird Standalone Calendar Project Launches".Knowing Mozilla and the great successes that we've seen with Firefox and Thunderbird I've always been hoping that Sunbird would be the next calendaring

As can be seen in the number of posts to this site it may very well be true that there is no purpose for it's very existence. Perhaps one day it will all change. Let's hope the day will come sooner rather than later.In the mean time I've made some changes to the layout, my profile and have also included my twitter feeds in the sidebar.Feedback is welcome in whatever shape, form or technology

Like so many others that have started their own blog spot on the web with great energy, I have slipped into a mode of not updating the spot on a regular basis.Time to change all that.Watch this space...A lot has happened since my last post. Amongst others I now have a nice Nokia n95 8GB with which I can take photos and videos for sharing. Unfortunately time is still an issue.My next mission will

Derek Kite put some interesting points in his blog Freedom and Value. I was surprised to find a reference to Banyan in his post:....The high tech industry has not had any trouble generating source code and ideas. It has had trouble generating cash. Those who have been successful may think it is due to having hidden the code. If they were realistic, they would see that the critical elements have

Using Firefox and the performancing add-on (a full featured blog editor that sits right in your Firefox browser) it becomes real nice and easy to post to your blog without the need to jump through multiple hoops. Just write your blog entry even while offline, save it as a note, continue writing later and publish it as soon as you're done writing.See also the Google Developer's Guide on
