Mazda 5 – My first impressions
Buying a car is expensive nowadays, and I did a lot of homework before deciding on the Mazda 5. My reason for deciding on it was that it had the most space in the third row of seats out of all the MPVs I tested, but was still small enough for my wife to drive, seeing that she's moving up from a Peugeot 206.
I've had the car for a few weeks now, and overall I'm loving it. There is plenty of space, with two baby seats in the middle row, an 8 year old in the back row, and multitudes of bags and prams in the boot. Ok, half the boot, seeing the back row of seats fold flat to create the boot, so we have one up and one down to fit the whole family.

Always implement the simplest solution
I learnt this from hard experience. Any programmer's natural instinct is to design the most robust & generic solution they can conceive. But once you've done it, you can then think of 20 ways to improve it and make it even more generic.
Charity work
Some time last year I was approached by a friend of mine, who had just started a charity, for some help on a website. At that point they had nothing, but needed to get a portal out to the world to showcase their work. Normally I would not just give something, because I believe that a lot of people take advantage of charity, and become lazy. The proof is standing at just about every traffic light in Joburg.
Thought for the day – 2008-11-25
There's a point in your life when you get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything.
But it's not giving up...
It's realising that you don't need certain people, the bullshit and the drama that they bring.
Coining my own law
I've decided to coin my own law. Now now, this is not a law, as in what the police are supposed to uphold. This is a law describing the working of the universe. Like Moore's law or Bell's Law.
So, without further ado, here's Baldy's Law:
You will never get rich by programming computers for a living. You could, however, get rich by applying computer programming to a very specific problem.
Best Comeback
A divorced man meets
his ex-wife's new husband at a party.
Later, after knocking back a few drinks, he goes over to the new guy and asks
him:
'So... How do you like using second hand stuff?'
The new husband replies: 'It isn't that bad. Past the first 2 inches it's all
brand new.'
