Its been a while

2007-05-11T08:27:00.000+02:00

How much time does one have in a day and why do other people have more than others? I have been asking myself these questions for a while now and i finally came to an understand that its all about planning (how you invest your time and with whom). I think one of the things i fear the most regretting for lost time... I'd like to leave and know that i have spend my time on worthy causes and in the processes i had fun.
I've planned my time (time to play, work, relax and do absolutely nothing).

What I'm basically saying is... i have spend a lot of time wondering what happened to my time... and now i have decided to dump the thought and spend that time anyway.

I am back on the blogging game... watch the space.

Socializethat uses Code Igniter

2007-01-22T14:44:00.000+02:00

A few months back we were deciding on which framework to use for SocializeThat. The core components have be re-written 5 times with different frameworks until we got to a conclusion of using a very light-weight PHP framework called Code igniter. What is code igniter???

"Code Igniter is an Open Source Web Application Framework
that makes writing kick-ass PHP programs simple as apple pie"

And that's exactly what it is....and its very easy to learn. The advantage of this framework is the ability to write any web application thats reliable and fast without loading modules that are not required. You can create an ordinary website without using a M of the MVC (which is the Model - responsible for backend processing).

Another biggest advantage to this framework is with the setup. There are no configuration files, all you have to do is download it and place it in your root folder.

We will be exploring more this...

Got Smashed

Can't say i had a great weekend when somebody drives into my car.
But lets wait and see if this baby can be revived.

Flying: You will never look at the ground the same way

2006-12-07T07:24:00.000+02:00

Do you remember the first feeling of being able to breath, walk, say you first word?? Well i don't. I remember the first feeling of passing my Matric, Graduating at Tertiary, Driving my first car, but non compares to flying.

Yes, you heard me. I went flying last night, and man.... that was an interesting experience. The feeling is un imaginable. I have always dreamt of flying. I even made "attempts" to join the air force but computers got the best of me.And suddenly i was airborne.

Its amazing what the earth looks like from a bird's view. The adrinaline that builds up when you tilt that plane to one side.....spectacular. That was my flight experience in one night. Just an hour in the air and i was never able to look at the earth the same way.

Flying in the evening has its own advantages and disadvantages... (Advantages: Very quiet, Disadvantages: You can't take clearer photos) but for a first time fyier it was great in every way. I managed to take a couple of shots......it was an evening to remember.......

I must say that Johannesburg looks pretty funky in the evening......especially when you are up in the sky. The flight route was from Grand central airport (Christo hired a plane from Babcock Flying Academy), to JHB CBD (over hilbrow Ponte tower) to Soweto (my birth place), down to Sandton. We flew around JHB CBD for a while.....man - That was amazing..... flying at 7000ft everybody looks the same (you start wondering why can't we just get along). Anyway, thats a topic for another day...

I owe all this to Christo.... he really made my dream come true... Now all i have to do is aqcuire my PPL and the sky is the limit.

My God - 2006

2006-11-27T09:30:00.002+02:00

Another year has gone and most of us are asking ourselves what happened. I'm one of the people who's been setting goals year after year and probably not achieving them. Well, this weekend i took time to reflect and i realised that i have achieved all those thing way before i attempted to. All this is due to God because he orders my steps.

Its usually in times when you don't feel God's presence that you need him the most. This year has been like that. And having highs and lows in life is very common. This was my low season (2006) with a lot of trials and mistaked. Some of which i failed disimaly but for a purpose.

I discovered that i am relying on my own strength therefore pride creeps in and i feel like i don't need anyone. The bibles says in Proverbs 11:2 - "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. " and Proverbs 16:18 says - "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." ... I think this is self explainatory to my feelings about 2006.... God is always good.....

Now what am i getting into with this talk: All i'm trying to say is that you have come this far, leaving and breathing not because of your might and power, but becuase God has a special purpose with your life and he will not let you go until his will for you is done. So if this year has turned out good, praise be to the most high...but if you feel that it didn't turn out nice as you've imagined... we'll after winter there's spring and this is your season... believe it.

I've got brothers who stuck by me ever since - and i feel like i've known them my whole life...

Senakga A.K.A Ardenti (kid brother)
Thabang .AKA. Thekza
Thami A.K.A sThamza.... Sticky fingerz
Given .A.K.A staGivo
Thembelihle ..A.K.A Pharaoh's ribs
Kabelo A.K.A Arthur
Babinki A.K.A Sebata
Mogomotsi A.K.A Motsi (all up in the states boi)
Werner A.K.A Dude (Terrible twin)
and ...and ..and...

The list is endless and whoever that's not on the list.... you are not forgotten..... much love.
These are the mighty men of God - What more could a brother as for??

Be blessed!!!

SocializeThat - awaken the sleeping network

2006-11-21T08:51:00.000+02:00

As from today, i will be working on the Database module of the web 2.0 application called socializethat . I have toyed with a couple of ideas concerning frameworks like cakePHP and Symfony and have decided to adopt the methodologies they used but i will be creating my own API. This is purely a fun site and i hope it will grow into something i could never dare imagine. I worked on different websites before but i have never attempted to create something Web 2 ish before....

So the next coming 4 weeks will be very exciting as we delver into the design and planning of this system.

Yet another interesting week

2006-11-20T18:10:00.000+02:00

Hi,
This is going to be a very interesting week ahead.... yet another one of those weeks when something good happens to you and you can't wait to tell it to all your friends. Anyway, things have been happening in my life and i have just been blessed all the way.

I'm currenctly working on interesting personal projects and would be writting about them. So keep your ears on the cyber ground for an interesting web 2.0 application coming up from South Africa ,which will rock the grounds and shake it for this festive season.

More will be revealed as time goes by. But for now we can keep this on the hush hush. ☺
