Again, another innovation out of Googles’ camp,

Google Checkout

Google Checkout gives you the power to only have one login for all the shops where you shop(thats if they support Google Checkout). You can track orders from multiple shops in one interface. This brings everything together.

This is really a cool innovative idea. I just wish they would start supporting South Africa. Currently Google Checkout only supports US peeps. Paypal also does not support South African merchants.

Whats wrong with us(South Africa) !!!!!?
South Africa does have a stable economy, and one of the best investment oppurtunities in Africa, can’t these “giants” see that.

Haven’t you ever wished you could have one page where you could everything you need for PHP,

or busy in Debian but can’t remember the function(or what it starts with for that matter).

Ever wanted to do abit of database maintenance but do not know what function or utilities to use.

Then you need to get yourself a few Cheat Sheets .

Lets face it, unless you have a photographic memory, no developer can remember all the different functions, options, tags, etc. that exist. Documentation can be cumbersome at times, thats why I like cheat sheets. They are quick references that feature the most commonly forgotten things on a specific topic. You can print them out and hang them on your wall, or just keep them handy in your bookmarks for quick reference.

Over 30 Cheat Sheets for developers

Well, after about 2 months running on 3G(Vodazone) I’m back on DSL, feels so good…aaaah

I’m not saying 3G is not good, but plugging the card into my laptop, making the laptop slow and taking some extra processing and sometimes just being straight up to sj….. . But with the DSL at home it just so relaxing.

I’ve run through two 3G card bundles(1 x normal 3G and 1xHSDPA 3G) which one of my nephew gives to his staff members when going on the road.

I’m now downloading all the email boxes that I’ve hesitated to download whilst on 3G.

Telkom really took teir time on this one, actually they are suppose to “install” the ADSL on the 30th of June 06 but I decided today I’m just plugging the router in, and voila it works. Phoned Telkom, and I asked them now what “install” are they intending to come and do on 30th of June. They say some kind of test to ensure the line is good. I’m taking the risk and plugging in my equipment as I’m loosing money everyday whilst not being on the internet.

Anyways, guess the following website(for people oversees) would be informative. GO HERE

I’ve posted a few times(here,here and here) about SmashMyViper.com, a unique milliondollarwebpage concept where you pay to do some hardcore destruction to a 94 Dodge Viper.

Last time I checked their sales were at $5 900, now they are on $6000, looks like they are really slowing down. Although on their blog on can read that they now have quite alot of publicity, just need to get someone else to advertise on their site, I think they’ve got a real winner, although it seems not everybody thinks that.
