My little corner

The first post

Well here it is, the first post. I don’t have a lot to say but have a few ideas for this blog.
I enjoy taking photographs so have been looking at joining a photo meme. There are a couple of good ones I have seen already but more on that when I get closer to making a decision on which one to join.
There are some other interesting memes out there which will be pretty interesting to join but I don’t have any info for you yet on those.

Another thing I plan to do here, I want to call something like “Stupid Questions with Interesting Answers”. The idea here is those really stupid questions you come up with but when you look for the answer you actually find that it is really quite interesting. For example I was at the ice rink in Northgate (South Africa) and was watching the zamboni fix the ice. I noticed that there seemed to be some steam coming off the brushes and there were some gas canisters attached next to the driver. So we started discussing it and one person said that they use the gas to power the zamboni and another said they had never thought about it. So as soon as I got home I went to our favourite search engine, google, and looked it up. (I would say I googled it but that’s illegal and a breach of copyright, I just thought it was advertising and brand recognition) I got to our favourite site which explains how stuff works (www.howstuffworks.com) and sat reading for quite a while because it was really interesting. When I get going on that I will post all the info but if you can’t wait just search zamboni on the above site.

Well I didn’t think that I was going to write this much it’s getting close to bed time now and I still need to fix some problems I have been having with my TiVo, well actually the connection between my TiVo and my PC where I have been saving programs for later viewing.  Oh and to answer your question, yes we do have TiVo in South Africa. Not the latest or greatest Series 3 but Series 1 has support and limited Series 2 support. If you have never heard of TiVo and want to read more about it and it’s South African support, go on over to http://tivoza.nanfo.com.
