Just yesterday, I blogged about Twitter and their massive growth rates.

Well it seems that massive growth could be the end of you, or services that depend on you.

Check out Twitpocalypse, a site that reckons, most people are using integers for their unique identifiers, in this case, the unique identifier for each 'tweet'.

An integer can go as high as the number 2,147,483,647. Which is a big number.  read more »

By now, most of you know about Twitter, the micro-blogging platform of choice for most social media evangelists.

Twitter is good. It's so good that Barack Obama announced himself running for president via Twitter. Oprah is using it. Twitter has more than 6 million users.  read more »

By now, you should know that I am a big proponent for games that take gamers beyond the physical exercise of twiddling their thumbs.

I love games like DDR and DrumMania which make you do a little more than just sit on the couch while playing.  read more »

So obviously, as I said last week, the E3 expo is underway in Los Angeles as we speak and this is the biggest platform for game developers and publishers to announce new games, new peripherals and just about new of everything.

So what announcements have been made by the big three? I will cover a few here (there will obviously be some more later). Also, I'm trying to link most of the titles to videos, instead of embedding them here. I might embed one or two good ones though.  read more »

There you have it, it's official.

Well, sort of.  read more »

Man, I feel good!

Remember earlier this week when I told you that I would cycle to work on Friday?

Well, self-fulfilling prophecies aside, I did it, and I feel amazing!

I left the house at about 5:35 AM and I arrived safely at my destination at about 6:40AM. Not bad for a 15km cycle.

I've taken a shower at the company gym now and I am ready to jump into the day's work.

For those geeks out there who feel they need a bit of exercise? Cycling is an amazing, low-impact, cardio-based sport.

Might be a bit expensive to jump into, but once you have the basics like a bicycle, a helmet and some safety lights, the road (and sidewalks!) are all yours.

I can understand why people strike. And while it is generally a nuisance to most of us when the taxis strike (traffic wise) or when public service strikes, it stays being just that. A nuisance.

Yes, there are people who use the taxis who are affected by violence or intimidation tactics. I'm not trying to downplay them. I'm saying, in my personal perception, that not as many people are affected by those strikes as what you would like to think.  read more »

I love this country to bits. I have had many people ask me why I am staying in this country when work opportunities in the UK and Australia are readily available for someone with my skill sets.

Truth be told, for all it's problems, I could never leave South Africa. The weather's great, the people are great and there is a big multiverse of cultures to explore. Personally, I'm trying to learn a little more Zulu every day.

There are certain things that make me jealous of our foreign geek friends.  read more »
