Another great addition to my Blog Roll
2008-05-09 17:08:00
I just read a very interesting article about 'postmodernism' so here comes another great addition to my blog roll. Cobus van Wyngaard writes about life and theology on his web blog, titled 'My Contemplations' - Do take note that his blog are not for those who seek pretty graphics or entertaining gossip, it has a minimalist design and contains mostly text. But this is after all what true blogging is all about. He covers a wide variety of topics that I am sure you would find very interesting, I for sure will be a constant follower of his blog from this moment on. If you want to have a look to see what I am talking about; simply scroll down and have a look at the 'Blog s I Follow' in the right side-bar and click on 'My Contemplations'

Total Madness
2008-05-09 16:39:00
As a result of my previous post I have received an array of job offers. Thank you! But now I am in a tight spot... Out of the three offers received one company wants me to start working on Monday. Another wants me to start on wednesday, and another wants to meet with me on thursday or friday. So what to do now? The company that wants me to start on Monday required me to give them a Yes or a No right now since they are urgently seeking a graphic designer and if i don't take the position now then it might not be available anymore by the end of the week. The company that wants me to start on tuesday I have already turned down because their salary offering does not meet my requirements. As for the company that wants to meet with me on thursday, I have no idea what the salary offer is, or when I will be required to start. Now apart from the above I am still waiting for a few other employers waiting to get back to me. So here I went from being suck and worried to not knowing which on...

Guess who is in the job market again...
2008-05-09 14:00:00
Yes, it's me. I am once again looking for a permanent job with basic salary. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that I am bored sitting at home all the time and not many local clients trust a company that has a 20 year old CEO. The main reason why I started my own business was due to the fact that my last 2 employers where absolutely disappointing. So after months of bad attitude, late payment and eventually closing down, I decided to just start my own business instead of relying on another company for my income. Things went great, but it got to the point where I am being turned down and potential clients seek alternative service providers purely because my 'company' is run by myself, a 20 year old, self taught, graphic designer. even though I currently earn enough in recurring income from subscription services such as hosting etc, I am unable to expand my business any further unless I lie about my age or employ a few sales reps. So I have been thinking... Why go t...

Manufacturers are copying Apple!
2008-05-08 11:05:00
One thing that I have noticed over the past few months is that many other cellphone and PC manufacturers are all copying Apple design. Can they not be original?!? Many new phones that are released my Motorola, Nokia, HTC, Samsung, etc.. All look very much like the Apple iPhone. Then there are also laptop manufacturers like Lenovo, Acer, etc, who are attempting to copy the style and size of the Apple MacBook. Ok fine, we all know that Apple products are hot, but honestly, if you want to 'stand out' from the crowd then don't copy other manufacturers. The same goes for software... Windows Vista users come to me and flaunt their new OS with all its extra features and functions. Sweety, my mac could do that 5 years ago WITHOUT requiring 5 million MB RAM to simply swap between applications. People refer to us Mac users as arrogant fanboys, but honestly now, if we seem arrogant we have the right to be because Apple is simply far better then any other OS out there and anyone who thin...

Beware New Hi-Jacking Technique
2008-05-06 12:01:00
Please inform all your families and friends. Hijackers are now tying your electronic gate closed with cable ties. When you arrive at your gate, it will not open. You then get out of the car to inspect the gate and that's when they strike. If your gate does not open, drive away and phone your security company or get help.

What happens when Afrikaans 'Tannies' discover Instant Messaging
2008-05-05 18:03:00
I was thinking about this the other day. I wonder what would happen if Afrikaans ladies from let's say... Bloemfontein? discover instant messaging, what would they chat about? what would they gossip about? what would they share on IM which they won't share with their spouse etc..? Hmmm... OH MY GOD!!! Is that it?!?! Really? *dies* BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA !!!!!!!! (For protection the names and avatar images have been removed from the above chat-log)

A leap forward for backup.
2008-05-04 18:24:00
For those of you who have been following me on twitter and had absolutely no idea what I was talking about with the 'time machine' and 'time capsule' tweets: Well let me explain... Time Machine is a new revolutionary technology build right into Apple Mac OS X leopard. creates backups of every file on your hard disk to an external drive via USB, Firewire, or Wifi (time capsule). Not only does it create backups, but it allows you to visually look into the past to find files. Let's say for example that you had a file on your desktop a few days ago, but you accidently deleted the file or you have no idea where you moved it to or forgot what it was called. now all you need to do is click on the time machine icon in the dock and opens a very impressive graphical interface allowing you to 'flip' through past desktop windows to find that file you lost. - It is quite difficult to explain in detail, the best I suggest is to just have a look at the explanatory web site by clicking her...

Making Missions
2008-05-03 23:41:00
Since I've upgraded my connection to uncapped DSL I have been using between 30gb to 50gb a month, now keep in mind that I have limited HDD space. All the computers combined probably provide me with a total of 200gb, so in the past few months I have been filling all that space with software, music, movies, keynotes, and work files. Today when I wanted to download some email I got a the annoying 'Startup disk full' warning. In total I had 2.4MB available on my HDD so I decided to move some stuff to the external drive. Opened the drive and found that I only had 14kb available on it, as for the other computers, they all have less then 100mb available. TIME FOR SPRING CLEANING!!!! I am now sitting here with a spindle of 100 dvd's busy making backups of everything and then deleting everything that I don't need from all the drives, only leaving the OS, the installed applications, and some work data, the rest I will burn to DVD and then remove. I will do the same with all the HDD'...

So you think I want to 'pitch' you?
2008-05-01 00:37:00
I just need to set the record straight here. - Every time I make a blog post about a new business opportunity or create a new group regarding the opportunity on social networking sites, most of my close friends tend to stop contacting me for a while, avoiding me in hope of uhm.. I don't know... In hope of not having me bug them about the opportunity. Well let's just clear a few things up here: a) My MLM business is successful, there is no need for me to beg or try to convince any close friends or family members to join. b) Why would I want someone in my business if i have to convince them that it is a great business. People that see the vision come to me and ask me to sponsor them into the business. So basically, if you are worrying that I might come to you and try to convince you to join a new business, guess what.. That's not going to happen. My business is for the true go getters who see the vision and are interested in building a successful business of their own, those ar...

Sales is not your thing? Sure it is...
2008-04-29 22:39:00
Many times when people ask me what exactly it is that I do, I would explain to them that I am part of a Network Marketing MLM company, and that I make a living by referring others to their products and services, basically 'selling' their products and services. They then tell me that they are amazed by the fact that I made a system like this work as they just can't see themselves being a 'sales person' or having to convince friends and family to join their network. Well, it is time for a big wake-up call. EVERYONE IS A SALES PERSON! You would not be working right now if you weren't a sales person, the company that you work for would not be there if it wasn't for sales! Ok, now you tell me that you are NOT a sales person, you work in the support, technical, or creative department? Guess what, you are still doing "sales" on a daily basis. In order to get the job in the first place you had to "sell yourself" to the person that interviewed you. Every day that you create a new d...

More Network Marketing Proof...
2008-04-29 22:12:00
Ok since I'm on a roll now to change the skeptical people's perceptions, here is another bit of information proving to you that EVERYONE is doing 'Network Marketing ' on a daily basis weather they realize it or not... A bit earlier i was browsing around on FaceBook, looking at some new photo's that a friend of mine uploaded and I saw that he was wearing the coolest pair of pants! I wanted to know where those pants are from so I could get myself the same pair... So the above just proves that whether you like it or not, whether you knowingly do it or not... We all refer each other to many things on a daily basis. So the way I see it is that you could just as well join a network marketing company and get paid for your referrals. Any comments?...

The Truth about MLM (Network Marketing)
2008-04-29 18:29:00
Q: What is MLM A: Multi Lever Marketing (Also known as 'Network Marketing ') Well.. that is the 'brief' explanation, but many are misguided by the world 'multi lever' and 'network' - The number one reason that millions of network marketers fail to make a success of their business is because they simply see it as a numbers game. All they want to do is recruit, recruit, recruit... But isn't that the point of network marketing? Yes, and No... Network marketing is about PEOPLE, not numbers! - Little did you know that since you were a baby you have been doing sales and network marketing, constantly telling your friends what you like, what you bought, where they can get it, meeting new friends through current friends, expanding your network of friends. And now you say that MLM or Network Marketing does not work? WAKE UP!! It does, and you have been doing it your entire life, you just haven't been paid for it. This brings me to my point of saying that by recruiting someone i...

SFI Marketing Group
2008-04-29 17:26:00
What is SFI? - SFI also knows as 'Secure Future International' and previously known as 'Six Figure Income' Marketing group is the worlds leading MLM (Multi Level Marketing) company with affiliates in over 200 countries. The system is so popular in fact that thousands of new affiliates join on a daily basis. It is the only business opportunity that will cost you absolutely nothing to join, and that you will be able to easily start making USD $10 to USD $300 per day within the first month (provided that you actually WORK of course). The reason why I have decided to tell you about this opportunity is because I am sure that you all know how many money making scams there are on the web. Many companies promise you the world for a small initial investment and then the tools and guides they provide you with are nothing more but a copy of free stuff that you can get from google. SFI on the other hand DOES NOT charge you anything to join, it is completely FREE. and the products, servic...

Investigating Scientology
2008-04-20 18:05:00
I grew up in the most conservative of religious (christian) homes. In my early years I was a strong follower of Jesus and truly believed every piece of information that was thrown at me. However, later on through investigating more into life itself I become more of an atheist. Now with an interest to explore other 'religions' I will be looking into Scientology , and then finally I will present you with an article 'Christianity vs. Scientology. What is Scientology? Scientology is a religion in its highest meaning, as it helps bring man to total freedom and truth. The essential tenets of Scientology are: - You are an immortal spiritual being. - Your capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized. Furthermore, man is basically good. He is seeking to survive. And his survival depends upon himself and his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe.

Friendly Greetings, A lot of readers have been contacting me via email instead of responding with comments via my blog. Now I do realize that a lot of people do prefer direct email and since I always reply to my emails (unless its considered spam/junk) I guess that my readers have gotten used to emailing me directly instead of using the comment tab. Now what I am trying to do is to encourage everyone to leave your comments on my blog instead of sending them to me via email. Let me explain the quick tags in post footers... At the bottom of each post you will see these options: 01) Permalink: This is a page a blog creates when a post has been entered. It contains just the one post and you can use this page to link to when referring to just that post. 02) Comments: Instead of clicking the 'Email me' link in the right sidebar (I think that I might actually remove that), you can click on the 'comments' link and submit your feedback there - This allows my blog to be an open for...

Good morning World
2008-04-17 10:31:00
Hello everyone, I just woke up next to my boyfriend on a lovely sunny South African Thursday, but before I get to work to finish off some client projects I would like to share with you what I have been up to since my last personal post. The majority of my time has been taken up by work, and since I am busy expanding my business internationally in a larger scale I haven't had much time for anything 'personal'. Due to the work overload I also haven't made any youtube video's in quite some time, and looking at 'SOME' of the older ones now I think that I might remove them from YouTube. I got twittered by an old acquaintance last night reminding me of the coke add that I did a while back, this instantly put me in video production mode again! Now with my boyfriend being here for a few days I am hoping that he can be my camera man since Tyler is miles away. So if everything goes as planned you will see another YouTube, or two... First things first, there are a few way overdue (du...

Alright, backing away from the overkill of business/finance news, tips, and information I think that it is due time that I post another one of my favorite YouTube videos. The crazy Chris Crocker is at it again, but this time with a message for the homophobes who think that bashing gay guys in front of girls will make them look macho. And yes, once again I totally agree with chris crocker on this one! Even though he is a crazy bitch, gotta love him!! P.S. I wonder if I should make a few YouTube videos again? or perhaps do a few hours of Life-casting? Hmm Yes/No? UPDATED: Damn, Chris better start paying me for free advertising on here soon (just kidding) - But here is another video that I wanted to share... Remember the "Leave Britney Alone' video back in the day, and how the media got hold of it and went crazy with it? Well, let's hope the media takes this video and emphasizes on it! Enough with the homophobia!!! - Like Chris says.. FUCK YOU!

A while ago I have stumbled across one of the greatest business networks on the web; DirectMatches. This website is like the FaceBook or MySpace of business, and I strongly urge anyone looking to expand business globally to use this website to their advantage. With this great network I now make more business contacts and obtain more leads in one week then I have done for an entire year prior to using the service. As with many other social networking sites it is completely free to join DirectMatches, although I would suggest that you get a premium account which will allow you unlimited usage of the system including ad placement and a larger message limit for your inbox.
