Had a very lekker day yesterday. My close friends Janice and Matt have been visiting family here and will be leaving to go home soon. We been trying to get a good beach day done for ages now and after a false start on Friday, the wind was just to strong, we decided on yesterday. I took them down to Kidd’s Beach, my favourite spot and where I grew up. We arrived about 12ish and made our way down the beach. Quite a few folks about but not very busy…

Visited a stunning location today in the hills of the Eastern Cape called Thomas River. I drove up there to enjoy Christmas lunch with family.

I know it’ a good way for you to keep in the loop and I been slacking. For the past 18 months, after being forced out of my previous position at SurveyShack in the UK, I been building up my old web site design business again. Without reliable work it’s been tough time and hard to get ahead. Dad also passed…
One of my favourites! With the weather turning cold here I thought it the perfect dish for today. Now what follows is my recollection of what a “dumped” into the pot… yep, it’s bit like that and it tends to change every time… What I do is go buy some root vegetables, the oxtail of course and some other bits and bobs and just stick in a pot.

I come across this problem daily, clients, friends and family using weak passwords for logins to various user accounts on and off the web. Not only this, I see them using the same one for multiple different services… I cannot stress how dangerous this combination is.
