BUT BE SMART ABOUT IT.
Right, now that I have your attention, let me make a semi controversial statement: If your real name – your identity - is used by you online for the important things, it should be harder for someone to use your identity to impersonate you.
Let’s explore the idea a bit… continue reading…
Today is 8 Sept 2010 – 08/09/10 for everybody except you guys in the USA – and I bring you our weekly roundup!
Today the topic is TWITTER, and how to get a lot of twitter followers quickly, and why I think doing that is a bad idea.
Akamai has released their quarterly Internet Analysis Document, named “State of the Internet.” It is a 32 page document that goes in depth into the, well… state of the internet today.
I am going to explore some of the points that stood out for me. continue reading…
I thought I’d regale you with a tale of three hours spent sorting out a client’s home network.
One of the techs was sick this week, so I inherited this callout. I have been to this client before, and his printing has been an issue before – more on that later on. continue reading…
The Internet is a marvelous resource. You can learn about almost anything. Today I am going to focus two interesting resources that are available for free, and gives you the opportunity to broaden your horizons.
Today, you can listen to talks by some of the brightest minds, some of the greatest achievers of our time talking about some of the most interesting subjects.

Below is a brief transcript of the mails, and how you can help make this service better for Linux users in South Africa.
While on #floss.pro in IRC Friday one of the channel members suggested I do a review of South African Radio Streaming services. I decided it was a smashing idea.

Social Networking is the wave of now. You have Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, FriendConnect and Floss.pro to name but a few. They have become an important business tool, from connecting to your clients or as an increasingly important marketing tool.

Computer Use Policy, Internet Policy, Computer Compliance Policy or even Email Policy – call it by many names, but the Electronic Communications Policy remains universally important to the employer and employee alike.
Here’s why.
People assign intrinsic value to money. Be it cash, what is in your account, or credits in an e-store. Cash allows you to buy stuff. You could buy a car, it would be your car. You could buy a radio, and it would be YOUR Panasonic monster 3000watt PMPO sitting on your desk just waiting to freak out your neighbors.
With the advent of online stores you can buy applications with your cash, credit or whatnot. You can buy an iPhone app from the app store and have it downloaded onto your iPhone, or iPad for that matter. And it would be YOUR app.
