My little corner

spam rants…

Oooh I really hate it when people continue to ignore my requests to be removed from there spam list. I am hereby exercising my right to freedom of speech to complain about ePasella.com.

Mervyn Kahn is the owner of this company and he is very pleased with his website which I finally decided to take a look at and was very disappointed.

So lets give you a little review. The mail is not very clear about the goal of the company but going to the website it has a circa 1900’s entry page. Clicking on entry I can see a blue and pink page with test links. It simply mentions that you can get coupons on this site so let’s click around. Each category only has on average one entry in it. This tells me that most companies are not on board with the business plan of ePasella. Further to this ITWeb Brainstorm has an article regarding this and it seems that when the victims of Mr Kahn’s spam complain he seems to try and sue them for harassment. Based on this article I am expecting to contact my lawyer in the near future due to Mr Kahn trying to say I am damaging his name. I personally think that he is doing a very good job of killing his own name by associating in with spam activity.

Well enough ranting and raving, I still need to lodge a complaint with Gmail about Mr Kahn as well as his internet service provider. I am also still trying to figure out who receives complaints at the Police Cyber Crimes unit, but this is proving quite difficult. Anyone is South Africa have any ideas? Feel free to comment to this post.

Wow I have really been scarce lately. Strangely enough I am still number 1 on Google for the keywords “Recovering Introvert”.

The reason I have been scarce is because I have been doing quite a bit of things after hours. On Tuesday I prepare for Bible Study and Wednesday I am at Bible Study. Thursdays are for Hermeneutics and Friday is AWANA. Every second Saturday is worship practice at church and a public speaking course at the chapel. Oh and I started teaching Sunday School to see what that is like. All these things have sort of eaten my time but have been really edifying. Especially the Hermeneutics course. I am learning to look at the bible in a new way, using commentaries  and books as tools rather than crutches to try and understand the scriptures.

Well gotta go again, will try and be more frequent in posting in the future.

The search is on

Guys I need some help, I am looking for information on cajon (ka-hon) drumming. I am looking for tutorials on how to play, and also how to build one. If you don’t know what a cajon drum is then check out this video.

After I posted yesterday I looked for more videos from the EDS commercial series, this one had me on the floor.

a Visit from an old friend

Well if you have been constantly coming here to try and find some of my witty (it’s my blog and I can describe it how I want ) writing then you will be glad to see that there is something here today. I have taken on quite a bit in my life lately and it has been taking its toll on my time. Here is a run down of my week. Monday I am studying for my Microsoft DBA exams and preparing for the rest of the week, Tuesday is for Bible study preperation when I am leading and if I am not leading I need to actually do the homework I gave to everyone the week before, Wednesday is for Bible Study itself. Thursday is for a course in biblical Hermenutics, Friday is for AWANA. Saturday (every second saturday) is for Worship team practice and a public speaking course. Sunday is put aside for Church and sometimes friends.

In between the long list above is preparing various homework including bible observations and speech preparation for Saturday.
I do want to however make a conscientious decision to keep the blog going strong.

So in light of this decision watch this video which has given me the inspiration to juggle things which just don’t wish to be juggled

This weeks theme is Dirty. I thought I would show the machine that made my house not only dirty, but filthy for months. We are still finding sawdust in some nooks and crannies and we did this about a year ago. The story is that I wanted to put in some wooden floors but when we removed the carpets, there was already real parquet flooring underneath. So instead of putting fresh down I called in some guys to renovate it. It cost me 12,000 to renovate but if I put down new parquet floors it would have cost in excess of 100,000. Unfortunately renovation involved sanding the floors with a drum sander (the machine in the picture) and this proved very messy, and dirty.
