Life moves on - what's been happening

During the week while other things are on ones mind, the humble blog does not get that much attention - but now I promise to give a substantual post ...

Let's start with the iPod, I am sure that I have mentioned that I have a 5th generation model which is great - only problems being that irritating act of converting videos (I actually don't use the video function that much, only for long trips and funny clips to show friends) but anyway. One thing which I have noticed is that the screen has gotten pretty badly scratched - which kinda sucks. So until I find a way to get rid of those scratches I have bought a cover for the iPod - it is one of those rubber ones which the iPod fits nicly into with a cover for the screen as well. So I am happy over there.

Sticking with the iPod for one more minute I am sure that some have read the announcement by Apple of the iPod Hi-Fi which is just that, a Hi-Fi with a dock connector for the iPod with a remote. While it does look really cool that amount of money is a bit overboard for a set of speakers for my room, however good the sound and however cool.

The holiday on Wednesday which us South Africans enjoyed was very well enjoyed - at least for those who were not standing in ques waiting to vote. Interesting to see that the DA appear to have the biggest portion of Cape Town with the ANCE just 5% behind - I am very interested to know what the ID will do with their 11%... what is an interesting question is how the power-cuts over here (see bellow) effected how people voted. On one hand people might have voted against the past ANC municipality becuase of them while others would have believed the stories of DA sabatage - quite honestly I think that most people are smart enough to know that whichever party is occupying the mayors office in Cape Town is not going to change the power situation.

That being another problem - this power issue. Without getting too irrational allow me to say that I have been lucky in not being too effected, but that when it has it has pissed me off - to say the least. All I am hopeing is that the roumered 'preferentual treatment' for Newlands for the Cricket tonight is not going to mean that I loose power. Well it is getting dark and so far so good ...

Prehaps that is enough for a while - hopefully some more posts about Blog Mad once I get a change to try it out properly, cheers for now - kilps.
