Recently I was asked to answer some questions for Move magazine. I normally wait until after they go to print before publishing it on my own blog. That other women Question - I met this guy last year in May we started dating in June. The problem started when his ex- girl friend phoned him and yelled at me saying crazy things. one day I was at the guy’s place and when I got there she came and wanted to start a fight with me and when I asked the guy about her he said she just a crazy woman because she Read More →

MXit responds to offensive lists of shame

In May 2007 the South African blogosphere was shook to its core with the abusive allegations from the SA Male Prostitute Blogger. Patricia de Lille, leader of the Independent Democrats party, took this personal and raged a campaign against blogging and MXit to be controlled. Now the lists of shame that has been circulating on MXit is likely to cause a similar outcry from authorities, parents and the community at large. My question to you is whether this reaction may be justified? How would you feel if the same of your son or daughter appeared on such a list? Whether Read More →

Buying The Secret in South Africa is a bad idea!

The Secret - Law of Attraction by Rhonda BurneLast week I went to purchase some ink for my Lexmark printer at CNA. While there I asked the saleslady whether they had a copy of The Secret DVD (not the book!). As it turns out they were sold out. But what really shocked me was the retail price of R450! That is about US$65 and about 3.8 times the retail price the current retail Amazon.com of $17! When it comes to The Secret, you either love it or hate. And if Read More →

Avoiding the uninspiring Flying Solo Unconference

At the Cape Town 27Dinner event in June 2008, Jo Duxbury made a great pitch for people to attend the first Flying Solo Unconference in Cape Town and Johannesburg. I really liked the idea because it was all about sharing ideas on growing your business with like minded people. And the idea of the unconference is that unlike the traditional conference there would be more panel discussions and interaction with the audience. Over the last 5 years I have experienced various ups and downs in my own business growth. For the most part I was self-employed as Read More →

  • Credo Mutwa Discussion Group: 171 members since March 2002. This has been my most successful group to date because the topic is so esoteric and specialised. There are members from all over the world who have read the books of Credo Mutwa Read More →

Upgrading to WordPress 2.6 improves your blog usability

A reminder to the blogging community to upgrade to Wordpress 2.6, which was released 3 days ago. Today I upgraded 26 Wordpress based websites or rather blogs that I am hosting at Hostgator. It has been years since I bothered hosting websites inside South Africa. And the Fantastico script manager allows you to seamlessly install open source web-applications like Wordpress, Joomla or Moodle. The biggest compliment I have for the Wordpress theme is how it continues to make it easier and easier for non-technical people to become masters of their own domains - no pun intended. Read More →

Where is Facebook in the workplace?

Ramon Thomas Facebook profileFacebook is a social networking website dedicated to user-generated content and global connectivity. At its heart is the individual user, who creates a profile and then searches for friends already on the network. Complements to that initial concept include groups dedicated to a multitude of interests including religion, sport or even profession. Applications on Facebook created by users, and more and more by companies, allow users to add even more interactivity into their profiles. An entire Read More →
