Google has now entered the internet browser market as well with their latest release of Google Chrome. 
A best of breed compilation of different elements into one packaged deal. I’ve downloaded it only this morning, still checking if it is really any different than normal Firefox. Google ChromeÂ
A new Guidance project has been launched on Codeplex especially to help Sharepoint users,developers and architects to see what the general best practices for implementing Sharepoint as your intranet management software.
Project Description
We plan to provide guidance to customers on how to build SharePoint Intranet Applications. This includes guidance on how to Architect, Design, and Develop applications as well as best practices.Intended Audience
This guidance is intended for software architects and software developers who are building applications on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. Familiarity with Windows SharePoint Services, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, and ASP.NET is useful for evaluating the guidance.Guidance is not even Alpha
Please note that this guidance is in draft form and will change dramatically before it is released on MSDN. We provide you access to drops to give you an idea of our direction and get your feedback. The code will continually be refactored until the point we publish it on MSDN.
Another video from Weezer, this time with some Web Celebreties in their videos as well , I just love these web phenomenons happening around.
I’ve been using Winamp for years.
Initially it was a very lean, quick and easy player for music, but after a couple of years of enhancements it just got abit too heavy on resources(still I use it sometimes). My current Winamp installation memory footprint is around 50MB, which may not sound alot but when developing and you need that last few megs, it makes a difference.
I read on someone’s blog about Foobar2000, which is a music player which is very light, has support for various audio formats and finally which is very light on memory, currently I’m running around 10MB, which is not too bad.
I’ve been using it just for a few days, and so far it is doing what I want with no problems or restrictions so far.
Still on the ATM issue…. the next thing that comes up in one’s mind is the headlines in papers almost daily and that is the ATM Bombing taking place for the last couple of months.
About a week ago my one mate took photos of an ATM bombing in Roodepoort, West Rand, Gauteng.
We used to go to this shop after school when I was still in highschool, so quite disturbing that this craze is just next door.
Just stumbled upon this post on BoingBoing this morning, where they posted an image of an ABSA ATM and talk about the
languages that it supports, and people replying to the post talk about how ATM accommodate different languages in their countries.
I am a supporter of eBlockWatch and think it is to the advantage of the greater community and can help one learn and prevent certain risks as well.
eBlockWatch has launched their Crime Camera Clips section on their website, and also host their videos on Youtube under an eBlockWatch channel.
Here is a video of an armed robbery when one of the person actually got shot(not on cam though), but you can see how the criminals operate and how they approach the premises.

Project Fred is an entirely pointless program which counts the number of keys you press and the number of times you click your mouse, and uploads these totals to the Project Fred website. You can then compare how much you’ve been banging the keyboard with other users.
About 2 week ago I flew down to Cape Town for a quick “product pitch”, and I have learnt this week that we have received the order!
Yay, so this means for the whole of next week I’ll be spending my week in Cape Town designing and hopefully implementing a solution for our client in just 5 days(will be a Rapid Application Development project….why do we have RAD tools ????duh) .
All and all it’s nice to go to Cape Town, but now I have to leave my lovely wife and son(3 months old) at home for the week 🙁 .
So for other bloggers and friends in Cape Town, if you want to meet up for a drink or 2 just give me a shout or reply to this post so we can arrange. I’ll be staying in a guest house in Bellville for the week.
See you next week !!
Excellent initiative.
It seems Google SA has approached(I assume) Jake White and helped him start his own YouTube channel called Jake White TV .
In this intro video Stafford Masie, CEO of Google SA(previously from Novell(still awesome)) introduces Jake to the YouTube crowd.
