The May devLAN got off to a rocky start for me since I had an unexpected rocking time at Firkin in Centurion the night before; making me late and with the feeling my head was stuffed [...]

Hmm, I see Office 12 Beta 2 is available for download; I’ll get it tonight and see how cool the export to HTML functionality is for my next post (I don’t think my blog engine is setup for the blogging features).
I know this is a quick post (with no illumination no less) so I owe [...]

If you don’t know what podcasts are, check out this hilarious podcast from AskANinja.com on [...]
