It’s raining it’s poring…. hmm but why inside the house!
Jul 17th
Wednesday night It was raining rather heavily outside, then we heard a bang and a lot more water noise, after a minute or two I thought to myself that sounds a lot closer. So I went to inspect only to discover that there is water coming down the wall and down the light fitting inside the hallway.
So in a mad rush we find the ladder, found the torch got in the roof and yup the geysers drip tray is full of water. Thank goodness I have a stopcock at the geyser, turned that off and the electricity to the geyser.
Reported it to Outsurance, they sent a plumber the next afternoon and an assessor after that. Plumber take one look and says it’s still under warranty no need for this to cost you anything he logs it with Kwikhot who came the day after and replaced the geyser, no charge.
Update and refresh time!
Jul 11th
Once again, it was time to update and give the site a refresh. I’m impressed it turned out pretty neat if I do say so myself.

Lost another 620 gig hard drive in my MythTV box.
Supplier will only have the 2TB drives in stock towards the end of the month, going to be a long wait without TV.

Arthur’s first Rugga game
May 30th
Arthur played his first Rugga game yesterday at Lochnerhof primary school.
Was amazing to see these little ones running, and tackling, also the odd running in the wrong direction.

Blogging from Blackberry
May 24th
Downloaded the WordPress Blackberry app, and wow its simple to use. Verry nice to use.
I love my Blackberry!
May 24th
Finally I have shelved the Windows Mobile device, 2 weeks ago 
, battery life on the HTC was really starting to suck.
I bought myself a second hand Blackberry 8520, 3 months old in excellent condition. Activated a Vodacom prepaid starter pack and put the Blackberry prepaid onto it R59 per month, diverted my Cell C number to the Vodacom number and wolla Blackberry working. (had to do this as I really dont want to change my number, and Cell C doesn’t have Blackberry yet and I still have 11 months on my contract there).
Next step was to get my email working, Blackberry have released the Blackberry Express Server for free, so downloaded that and installed it on my little exchange server, now my Blackberry is fully synced with my Exchange mailbox. Works perfectly.
Windows 7
May 24th
Finally after 6 months, I installed Windows 7 professional on my Dell D630. Been running XP Pro since I got the laptop.
I took so long because I was concerned about support for my 3G modem built into the Dell, as well as printer drivers.
Only problem I have is with the Lexmark E120, I can use it via the USB cable fine, but not via the network doesn’t pick it up. Not to serious.
New website hosting!
Dec 23rd
On my travels around the internet, I found a website hosting provider offering free hosting, www.000webhosting.com, perfect for this site.
1500 meg’s of disk space and 100 gig’s per month of bandwidth.
I’ve moved the blog across to them, but left the thousands of photo’s on my home server for now.
