This is a theory I have been thinking about for a couple of years now... and I think I am right. I'm just putting this here so one day I can go, "I told you so". Humanity seems insistent on its need to destroy itself by not socially evolving quick enough. Stop fighting about all your imaginary friends and rubbish invisible lines in the ground, and start concentrating on the stuff that needs to be thought about.

Well, any ways, that rant over, back to my theory:

For those of you that don't know, I have this theory (that I honestly think is correct!!!), as to what is happening in the world at the moment. I will try type this theory out as simply as possible, so everyone can understand it to either agree or disagree with me.

1) I believe that there is a massive climate change happening. I believe this climate change is going to be a type of "ice age"
2) This climate change is been caused by by a flip of the earth magnetic poles. Evidence for this can be found here:

* http://image.gsfc.nasa.gov/poetry/venus/RevScience.html
* http://archives.cnn.com/2002/TECH/space/03/20/north.pole/
* http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/13/1516234

3) This has caused fluctuations and weakening of the Earths Magnetosphere. The earths magnetosphere protects us from solar wind blasts from the sun. The earths sun blasts reach out to end of our solar system in an area known as the Heliosphere.

* http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/science/12/12/magnetic.poles.ap/index.html

4) This decrease in the Magnetosphere is allowing more and more "radiation and sun dirt" into the atmosphere which is causing a short period of global heating. Since the polar caps are on the move, and there is more of this interference in the atmosphere, the heating/movement of the polar caps is letting more fresh water into the ocean which is changing the direction of the major ocean currents. These NOW! are causing massive climate changes.

* http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/science/11/30/climate.study/index.html

5) I also believe the speed of our suns magnetic reversal is going to increase the speed of our reversal

* http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast15feb_1.htm

6) If you are still not convinced, please read the following links to get a more deeper view of what is happening:

* http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/magnetic/
* http://www.tmgnow.com/repository/global/planetophysical2.html
* http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlkop/sunspmax.html
* http://istp.gsfc.nasa.gov/earthmag/reversal.htm
* http://www.agu.org/sci_soc/vostok.html

There's a lot of information that is in those links, so if you want to know whats happening, I suggest you read them if you want to work with me on this theory, or become better acquainted with what I believe is happening. A lot is going to happen to the earth over the next couple of years, so if you notice anything funny or interesting in the news that seems to point in this direction, please leave a comment in this thread. There's going to be a lot of geothermal activity, solar activity and weather activity, so please post all interesting information to help us track whats really happening.

Just an example of a good weather link would be:

And a good example of a geo link would be:

Its not often I come across a MP3 player that does exactly what I want it to do. AmaroK is one of those media players that does everything you want it to do, and a whole lot of new things you did not even know media players could do!

Its ability to organise massive quantities of MP3`s, download all their CD covers and meta tag information, and present it in a way that spectacular makes this the top MP3 player out there at the moment. While playing a track, it downloads the information on the song, the album and the artist, so you can look through lyrics, latest news on the band that you are listening to, or read up on the history of a particular song.

Words do not do this player justice, and nothing in Windows comes close to its functionality (without the bloat).

Screenshot of artist information: http://www.pickledbushman.com/screenshots/amaroK/artis_info.jpg

For those of you who do not enjoy such a full display, there are many options to make AmaroK as minimalistic as possible, to the point of just having a small control applet in your kicker (for the windows kids, the kicker is like a task bar on steroids).

Windows media player my a55 :P AmaroK owns all.

The last time before my current installation that I tried to use linux as a desktop, was when RedHat 5 first came out. Linux couldn't not do what I wanted out of my desktop. There just weren't enough options with
someone with limited nix exposure.

I started on Microsoft with DOS 3.0, and grew up with win3.0 -and through to xp. I have exposure to approximately 20 different MS servers daily (2003, 2000, sql, iis, yada yada),(frontpage is the devil) and the nature of my job requires me to be able to complete a large variety of different types of tasks. However its also my primary personal desktop due to its decent hardware specs. Anything from web design with Macro media Dream weaver MX and Adobe Photo shop CS through to being able to take my box down to the local weekly 250 man LAN to leach and game.

It was with the recent release of kubuntu 6.06 that I made the official swop over in desktop. Its been about a month now, and I can honestly say, I cant go back to a Microsoft environment. My desktops just too cool, and XP, even all sexed up with windows blinds doesn't come near it. Before Kubuntu 6.06, it always felt as if the Linux desktops were playing catch up to XP, with XP always being a couple of steps ahead of the developing desktops. Things have changed.

With the release of Kubuntu Dapper, I can honestly say that KDE in my opinion, is in the lead in most areas. I also think Vista will be playing catch up when it comes head to head with KDE 3.5 let alone the next generation of KDE desktop. Kde 4. Vista looks pretty cool, but what can it do that my KDE 3.5 cant already do? And with my XGL on my KDE desktop, neither the versions of Vista I have operated nor XP stand a chance.

There have being some critical remarks by some people about XGL, and how they found it annoying, and made them feel nauseous. To me, as a gamer, wobbly windows don't effect me negatively at all, and I cant help
but not giggle sometimes at some of the effects. Some people can handle it, some people cant. I'm abstract, not liner, this works for me. There are very few things more enjoyable than spinning the cube across two lcd monitors, with video media playing seamlessly on every desktop as it comes into focus.

What I cant understand, is that lack of decent gaming support for top end games like bf2 to run natively on linux. Surely the marketing boys at the big corporate gaming ladder can not see a gold mine of opportunity waiting? Been to a LAN lately? Seen the amount of kids who game there who cant afford the MS operating system, with their cracked virus infected illegal copies? Give them a platform that's free and
they can game from and you can skoop up a whole generation of youth into the Open Source fold.

Surely this is win win for both the gaming industry and the linux? Both would get increased penetration into he market. Convince the gaming industry heads to start writing now for linux, as they are for Vista. Its not hard concept to sell to them surely? Explain to them that their games could sell better on a free operating system as opposed to an operating system you have to pay for.

There's a large amount of my IT friends who have moved over, and who are moving about to move over. In my IT community, about 1 in 3 are sticking with MS, and the only reason we are not getting those last MS guys is ause of lack of decent gaming functionality, and lack off stable support for important design applications uch as Macromedia Dreamweaver MX and such.

If you cant to that, how about getting someone like Mark Shuttleworth, the man behind Ubuntu and its family. Come on Mark!, here's an opportunity, if you cant woe the gaming titles like EA Games over, buy out Cedega and do something together with the wine community. If you get the games, you get the young and the old. A hole generation will migrate to the better desktop, and best of all, the desktop the is free!!!

You have an awesome chance with this Mark. You have the chance to take the market away Microsoft. There's an army of gamers out there who would prefer this operating system and desktop if it could do what they wanted it to do.

Ive decided to try do my bit. Since the industry often uses the whole, "chicken and the egg" argument about the demand and supply for linux games, I have decided to take the following approach, when friends and family (that are constantly asking me for assistance), come for my technical aid. Im going to say these 5 words, "Sorry. I dont support Microsoft". Yup, thats it, from now on, I will gladly support you as before, as long as its not Microsoft. For those of you who feel the same way I do, I suggest you do the same.

I know there are a bunch of you out there who read this blog from time to time, and whom have also switched their desktops to kubuntu, and who really miss Dreamweaver MX 2004, and all its cool features. So are a bunch of research I was able to find the relevant information, and I even made my first HOW-TO in the Ubuntu Forums

The application seems to (mostly) run safely on the newer versions of wine, and I know there is a lot of attention being put into it by the devs that side. Big up to Clint Christopher from Canada for some great research there. *kof*_what_about_battlefield_2_*kof*. I really hope, that the ability to run Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 on an already extreme desktop, will make you think a little bit more in your choice of OS.

I am a geek. Well, at least I like to think I am one... I have a blog after all. Anyways, I am a member of the Geek Freedom League. Its an Open Source initiative designed to get people back to the way software should be made.

People often call me a geek, which I happily let them, but when they call me a nerd I inform them, that I am not. So they ask me, "Whats the difference between a nerd and a geek?".

Well this is a nerd. A nerd is someone who while may be as pretty good at somethings, he tends to lack in the more important aspects... such as having a life. They tend to lack even the basic understanding of social intelligence or interaction

A geek is someone who has a social life, albeit sometimes very unusual one. A geek is someone who has both the intelligence and the ability to work with society. Geeks also tend to have some type of extreme activity in one way or another. An example of a geek in the movies that you may have watched would be something like Crash and Burn from the movie hacker.

A geek also has to at least occasionally have one of these:

A geek girl would obviously have the male equivalent. Geek girls also can sometimes be called, "band camp girls". If your partner is over 200kg`s it does not count... chances are you are leaning towards more neediness.

I hope I have being able to clear this matter up somewhat with you. Now moving along. I had hoped to get some leet geekess pictures, but I cant seem to find the right drivers for a Logitech Pro 4000 and its how-to in Kubuntu (thats a small hint that if you know where to find the info, leave a link under comments). Donations welcome.

PS. Due to popular demand I have started using a spellchecker ;)

Last night I was fidling a bit with my desktop (a little trashed), and I broke my sources list, my adept manager and X server. How I did that I have no recolection of. As I said, I was trashed. Well, its about 4 AM, and I can not fix the problem, and with no X, and Kubuntu CD on me, I had no idea how I was going to get online to research a solution in the ubuntu forums, to fix my desktop.

Luckily I had an old breazy badger CD lying around at my house, so I booted up on the Live CD, and was able to use the Gnome desktop to research what I wanted to. First off... that desktop is terrible! Who the heck thought of using bland brown as a default desktop color. What were you thinking!?! Anyways, about 8 hours later in the forum, someone posts a message that fixes my problem. Apparently X and KDE in Kubuntu has some issues, and people often complain about the desktop crashing. Expecialy when fidling with the xorg.conf file.

If your desktop bones out like mine, heres the commands I suggest:

sudo aptitude update&&sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg

If that doesnt work, then I suggest the following list of commands in this order:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
sudo aptitude update&&sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg

Now that I have my desktop back, and and I can listen to music again, I am much happier, and dont think I will be looking at boring gnome again anytime soon. I worked a bit on a video clip last night on the gf`s windows PC (mine was boned).

The video clip was made for an activist group called antitrust.co.za that I am involved with. I found this clip made in New Zealand that had been made by their version of antitrust.co.za. I got some footage from somewhere else, made a couple of animations, and then made a more local version. I may get sued for this, but it does not worry me to much. I know its the right thing to do ;)

File can be found here, sorry about the wmv format

Getting XGL (some serious eye candy!), KDE (The Desktop of choice) and Kubuntu to all play fair was a little more difficult then excpect. First I had to make changes to my xorg.conf file to enable Duel Monitor support, once I had got the resolved it was onto installing XGL ontop of KDE.

For those of you who do not know, XGL, developed by Novell was designed for the Gnome SUSE desktop, and has some real cool controls, like wobbly windows, pull back windows and 3 dimensional desktops. Theres a hang of a lot more to it, but thats the general gist of it.

I also decided to update my background image as that was designed more for a single monitor rather than a dual monitor. So now I run a desktop background I pulled off http://www.deviantart.com, called Delicious.

Well that aside, and without any further wasting your time, here is mah new desktop:

http://www.pickledbushman.com/screenshots/xgl/cube_multi_desktop.jpg

Here is another picture of the "pull back" window effect. Basicaly you hold down cntrl, and you can pull down the corner of a window:

http://www.pickledbushman.com/screenshots/xgl/pulling_window_to_the_side.jpg

And one last picture, the whole "wobbly" windows effect when you shake a window around:

http://www.pickledbushman.com/screenshots/xgl/wobbly_windows.jpg

You also get that effect when your K menu (like windows start menu) bounces up and down, and the menu options bounce out the side of it.

For the record, if you want to do the same with your Kubuntu install, simply follow the instructions in this how-to and you should be fine and dandy: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186200&highlight=kde+compiz

Some seriously good eye candy for a great desktop Operating System! Well done Mark!

This is my story of how I left 14 years of Microsoft use and move over to Kubuntu Dapper Drake Linux, 6.06, and the reasons surounding the choice.

Yup 14 years, thats a b!tch long time to use mostly one operating system as your desktop, and after reading the disurbing reports such as the following:

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1974911,00.asp

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1974878,00.asp

http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=882

If you look back at previous posts you will find one about my opinion on copyright, so I have decided to move my desktop completely away from Microsoft and over to a linux distribution. There were a lot of choices for an operating system, but I decided to go for an Ubuntu varient known as Kubunue. The KDE heavy version of Ubuntu (which ships with gnome by default).

I think I chose a winner, I can honestly say that the install was quicker and simpler and a better experience than any Windows insntall I have ever done. The CD boots up into a live CD, and since I was on my works network, the OS that was loaded into memory came with a KDE Desktop, a DHCP client, a broweser and installer (as well as a host of other features), so while the the installer is formating your drive, creating parition tables and installing itself, you can browse the net, or chat on IRC or MSN, or whatever you normaly use.

The least boring install I have ever gone through.

Now I have a new desktop, and it can almost do everything my last one can, and in most cases more so. Click on the thumbnail image below to have a look at the desktop with K Menu extended:

http://www.pickledbushman.com/screenshots/KDE_Menu_internet.jpg

Straight off the cuff, one of the coolest features I noticed in the Operating Sytem, was a media player called AmaroK. To get an idea why I enjoy this media player so much have a look at this screenshot:

http://www.pickledbushman.com/screenshots/amaroK_media_player.jpg

If you are the more practical kind of person the OS comes with a great office suite called Open Office, and its also very easy to run either Adobe Acrobat in linux:

http://www.pickledbushman.com/screenshots/office_support.jpg

Navigating through the drive is really easy, and thumbnail support on folders is far better than its Microsoft counter part. The system comes with great graphic manipulation applications, and I suggest you try out Gimp:

http://www.pickledbushman.com/screenshots/graphic_folder.jpg

There should be no reason why you should need to stay with Microsoft. Media plays cleaner and smoother, the desktop doesnt take the operating system with it when it crashes, and theres a host of other benifits that can not be over looked.

No more anti-virus, no more anti-spyware, no more blue screens of death. If I leave my system running for an extended period I dont get memory leaks all over the place, and when I come back to my desktop, its just as quick as when I first booted up.

Im going to try get the eye candy XGL program installed, and going to add duel monitor support to my xorg.conf file during the course of thie weekend, and I will let you know how that goes. Its got some pretty amazing effects that I cant wait to utilize.

KDE 4 is just around the corner, and popular rumour has it that its going to blow Vista out the water. XGL and KDE4...... ooooooh.... just you wait.

As you can see, there is very little reason to stay with Windows, when Linux can do it all, and if not better. Move over now, before corporate captain copyright owns your soul.

Got any screenshots or suggestions you would like to share? Email them through to me.

For those of you who dont know, I run Kubuntu OS as my desktop OS. With all the queerness of Microsofts Anti Piracy campaign, I have decided to completely leave the MicroSoft world. Sure, I loose windows media player and some gaming choices. However, you do get awsome games like warsow that are completely open source, and LOADS of fun to play. If you are in South Africa, there is a South African warsow server gracefully hosted by Web Africa. When in the game just type "connect warsow.webfafrica.co.za" And you will connect to the server to be able to jam with the rest of us.

Really funny flash video depicting the end of the world as the result of a nucleur fall out.

After the recent spate of scams run on the popular South African broadband news and discussion forum called http://www.mybroadband.co.za / http://www.myadsl.co.za, I have decided to keep a list of the top scammers that make their rounds. I honestly believe these people will strike again, so I have decided to keep a permanent record for history and googles sake.

Scammer/Fraudster #1:

Alias: celemasiko
Real Name: Peter Lauer

Scam(s): Pretends to be sick, either with something terminal or amputation. Tries to get sympathy money out of people by praying on his victims emotions or pity and compassion. He took a lot of people for a ride on the Mybroadband/Myadsl forums, and a lot of people fell for his lies. During the investigations a forumite from another german forum made a couple of posts, on how he had pulled the same scam there, and how he had got people to give him money there. He also has a habit of pretending to post as his daughter, often saying that "her" "father" is dying, and willing to accept money on their behalf.

Scammer/Fraudster #2:

Alias(s): slimothy / smint
Real Name: Warren Smith

Scam(s): The term "Slimothy", is a widely used term in the South African online community. It is often used in the context of, "to pull a slimothy", which means to commit an illegal act of fraud and/or theft.

It was first started on the popular www.myadsl.co.za (MyADSL) forum, where a forumite by the alias "Slimothy" used to frequent often. The name of this forumite was the notorious Warren Smith, from Johannesburg, South Africa. Warren, a PHP developer, developed a commercial system of the PHP torrent client known at Torrenflux, and renamed his version to Torrentbox.

In the bandwidth starved country of South Africa, users were eager to adopt this bandwidth saving technology, and many users from the MyADSL forum eagerly sent their money to Warren, with many users paying for a whole year in advance! Warren then took the money, and emigrated to another country and disappeared for a while, thereby committing fraud and stealing every ones money.

PLEASE NOTE. UPDATES ON BRIAN GIBELLO.:

I get a couple of emails every couple of months about people worried about him. I don't blame them, from my correspondence with them it appears Brian is still up to his old tricks.

At the end of 2006 an company in Germany contact me in regards to Brian Gibello. They informed me that he claimed to be the CEO of Tigerdirect.com ( A large brand ). Brian also claimed that he was wanting to purchase 4 Bentley GTC for 220.000 EUR each. The elite German car dealership contacted me and confirmed it was the same person. Brian also claimed he was going to fly in with his "body guards" to pick up the vehicles. Luckily the car dealership in Germany was able to prevent any possible fraud.

I keep getting updated reports from people who have caught him out lying. Just the other day I had another car dealership contact me informing me that Brian Gibello had walked into their shop and claimed to be an executive from Google as well as a student at MIT. The salesman was suspicious and he also confirmed it was the same Brian Gibello.

I often get updates about Brian Gibello and my latest sources inform me Brian Gibello's current address is (address removed due for privacy reasons)

UPDATE 29th of June 2007

I received the following email from a concerned US citizen in regards to Brian Gibello;

"Hi, I recently encountered Brian Gibello here in MA. I had a 10-15 minute exchange with him on the MBTA commuter rail. He was taking the train from South Station in Boston to Southborough Station. He told me he lives in Marlborough, which could confirm the address you have listed on your site.

He told me works for facebook on platform (which they just released) in facebook's Boston office (which doesn't exist) with Mark Zuckerberg (facebook's founder and CEO who actually works in San Francisco). He's claiming to be a Facebook engineer (I'm not yet sure to what end) and has a fake Facebook Administrator account http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=545246176 he was able to get through facebook's filters by making two Os in the terms special characters: Facebọok Administratọr . Not sure what he actually does in Boston. I've also read on his facebook 'wall' that he has a
Bentley (stolen?). "

It appears he has a different lie for every person he meets.

Feel free to contact Brian Gibello on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/s.php?k=10080&id=529805304

The latest phone number we have for Brian is +15085050022

The latest confirmed place that Brian was working at is Chikita, however I was informed he was let go very quickly when Chikita realized something was not right.

Please email any other information you may have on any of these criminals to stop-scammers@pickledbushman.com

PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS FOR BRIANS RESPONSE

Update: 21/08/2007

I received this fax from a company that had a run in with Brian Gibello. With permission I am posting it here so you can get an idea of what we are talking about:

Update: 13/12/2007

I have being informed that Brian has being arrested and is currently serving a sentence at Norfolk County Correctional Facility. Once he has finished there he will be deported back to South Africa. Anyone with any more information on, or who would like more information can please contact Fraud investigator Jack Kelly 1-800-879-1731 x 2554

Brian's incarceration has being confirmed in Norfolk County House of Corrections, feel free to call him on +17813293705

Update: 16 July 2009

Brian is in South Africa (Cape Town from the email I get) and is up to old tricks again.

Update: 07 April 2010

Any reports of Brian being arrested and in Pollsmoor Prison are fake and spread by Brian himself.

I came across this article the other day ( http://www.wired.com/news/wireservice/0,71076-0.html?tw=rss.index ) on Wired News, about how the WTO is threatning to pull the plug on talks with Russia, over a cruddy little mp3 site. Oooooh you poor Hollywood artists.... cant get that like R5 out of the song you made 10 years ago? Shame, cry me a river.

I mean come on!, out of all the bullsh!t things to argue about and pick a fight about this has to be as shameful as our current arguments over religion and imaginary lines in the ground we like to call "borders". The United States has got you so well brainwashed, and so well trained that you dont even notice it anymore. First, lets look at this thing you call "Copyright". Its mostly bullsh!t. Complete and utter mamilian faeces.

A couple of years ago, some not-so-forward-thinking asswipe, thought it would be a good idea to attach a price to everything. Including ideas and innovations. Thereby making the interests of the indervidual greater than those of the collective. Thats the sad things with us humans at the moment. We cant see past our own greed and debaseness, we think things like copyright and patents are "good" and "fair". Well you are wrong. Imagine if Thomas Edison had gone... "Okay, to use my light bulb, everyone has to pay 10 bucks"... imagine how much more backwards we would have been!

An idea or innovation is not one inderviduals property. It should be for humanity as a whole. A good example of what I am talking about here, would be if say.... Sipho Mashilile invented a cheap, eco-friendly, completely substainable source of energy. Something that could help the WHOLE world, and lift countries out of 3rd world poverty. A end to pain, hunger and hardship as we know it. Now imagine if Sipho approached Microsoft with the idea, and got them to patent and distribute the energy source. Now you as, the other human who was not involved in the invention or distribution of this energy source would now have to pay R10 000 a day for usage of this system.

Not many people are going to be lifted out of poverty under that system ne? Just the rich will get richer, and the poor we get more pwnage.

There should be no price on human innovation and invention, and while I believe in a limited type of copyright (max 5 years on _anything_), I do not believe in this retarded anti-humanity system of PURE AND UTTER GREED Captain Copyright in the US is trying to force on the rest of the world.

YOU DONT OWN AN IDEA, HUMANTIY OWNS IT. You did not suddently pop into existance... in fact for you to be here, over several trillion life forms had to evolve and come together so that you could be here today. You are a cog in the wheel of life, and until you wake up to that fact your own selfish desires will make sure that the several trillian life forms that came before you, were a complete and utter waste of time.

Stop putting prices on everything, stop trying to fill your own pockets, with this wierd type of commercilization thats been thumped into you. Start thinking indepenintly, and start making choices and commiting actions that will help all of life, and not just you.

Sometimes human bloody well disgust me. Shame on you!

Ever wondered how many babies are being pushed out every day, or how many people are dying every minute? Well this is the place for you then! This meter currently records those tpes of things, and with a population of 6.5 billion, there are lots of interesting stats for you to check out.

Today I wake up with a rather mild hangover, and Im mostly grateful that tha pain aint that bad cause there was some disturbing news in my inbox. The South African government had decided to censor a documentry about (soon to be X) President, Thabo Mbeki.

The documentry is mostly about the life and growing up of Mbeki, and the part that they think was censored was the bit where it explores the power struggles in the ANC among leaders such as Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, Chris Hani and Cyril Ramaphosa.

The FXI (Freedom of Expression institute), and other public free speach organizations have voiced their dissaproval at these drakonian measures the ANC led government is imposing on its people. Common! We havent had censor ships since the religious oppression censorship regarding those daft Mohammed cartoons that the religious fanatics went all dilly about.... oh, and then there was also the time the Mail & Guardian got censored by that retard in the Oilgate scandal.

Whats wierd about this current order and is that the presenters and producers of the show even have gag orders on the content that was in the Mbeki video. This is unaceptable to a new democracy, and certain government officials are seriously abusing their power. I have made a public post on a popular forum, requesting that the movie get "leaked" to me, in which case I will distribute it online with zeal.

Our government needs to know, that the voice of the people can not be oppressed, and anyone who is anyone, should be fighting this verdit tooth and nail, wether you agree to it or not. Remember, the most important type of free speach to allow the most, is the free speech you can handle the least!

Viva le freedom!

Haha, these poor lil bunnies. A bunch of pictures of bunnies trying to come up with imaginitive ways to kill themselves.

So its my version of a saturday night. What am I doing? Well, I am parking off in bed with my gf (nicely naked and looking very appealing ) lying next to me. Other than the midly perverted thoughts caused by her presence next to me, Im busy typing out this blog post, and watching Start Trek, The Next Generation.

I managed to score every episode of Star Trek, The Next Generation. This one chap at work snaked it off this oke who looked like a cross between an ancient spaniard and lucifer. One of those creepy okes who think they have skills but actually dont.

As you can see by the terrible spelling, punctuation and grammer, I am smoking a joint. A nice big fat one the gf rolled. I will do a post sometime about the stupidity and hypocracy of ours (and most likely yours), legal system in regards to this blessed `erb.

For those of you who dont know, I am South African. Im a born and bred white native african, and damb proud of it. However, I will often use words that you may not understand, local slag u wont pick up on. Click on this link to learn a little more about South African slang, aka, Safrikan!

Well, its about time I started something like this. Somewhere to keep my personal idea, experiences and other bull well documented for someone else with way to much time on his or her hands to painfully read the drivel I will put down into "print".

This site is open source, my web site is open source, my operating system is open source (kubuntu biatches!), over the next couple of months or years hopefully I will be able to explain to you my belief structure and my warped mentality, and sometimes some of the reasons for the mad antic or philosophies I may be involved in.

Right now the content it pretty bare, so theres not much here to grab anybodies attention, so Im going to post away into nothingness, until one day I am responded to.

Leetest form of linux there is. The primary OS I now use. Kubuntu, Dapper Drake, 6.06 LTS. I really think people should use this as their default OS
