Things that please you...

Got a cool Sony Smartwatch 3 from a buddy because the GPS in my Nokia 5 is wonky. This little watch easily managed to track a 4+ hour ride with some juice to spare. I had it in Aeroplane mode so it used the built in GPS and did not waste energy using it's BT and Wifi radios.

Impressive to thing we went from something this size to a watch.
 
I'm not sure what kind of internet the Dutch have, but I've been raiding this one guy's FTP server and it comes it at max speed 4 megabyte per second :D

Going for a record today...

The automated hand sanitizer dispensers that are abundant throughout Greenacres Hospital. I hate touching anything at a hospital but the fact that these don't require you to touch them to use them makes them much more appealing :)

That's definitely above average.

Don't think the avg European connection has 32mbps uplink. Or even down for that matter.

In layman’s language complete remission!

Still have to go through transplant and maintenance chemos but that’s a massive step in the right direction.
 
In one day I get to buy the wife and mother in law birthday presents!

For the elder of the two the Kulula 30% sale bagged me a ticket at under R600 to get the old lady to visit her daughter on her birthday/our anniversary/23 September.

For the younger of the two (the one I married) who likes to salt the kuck out of her food....

A Peugeot that she will like to "drive" :D
 
A car brand that likes to slap their brand on anything ... reminds me of the one Top Gear episode with Jeremy Clarkson where he displayed a plate of vomit with a BMW badge proudly centred on it.

Here's the transcript:

Jeremy: It's given us an idea. [produces a plate of vomit, to groans from the audience] See this? It is a plate of sick. Now it is utterly worthless. But if I just pop a BMW badge on it, £13.80.

Yeah, well to be fair, BMW did not sell vomit before they did cars. Opel on the other hand sold bikes and sewing machines long before cars while Peugeot was well know for their razor blades and pepper/salt grinders.

It’s shameful.

They should have planned in 1810 when they started making grinders to not make anything other than cars.

Talked my way into another company's internal quarterly strategy meeting. :D

Obviously can't utilise that info, but was interesting anyway.
 
Winter is finally here and I'm donning my @home polar fleece night robe for the first time this year.

Having my wife & daughter back at home. Tons better after their night in hospital and some thoroughly professional care.
 
Being out of hospital for 3 weeks if I’m lucky.

Dinner with both my parents (hasn’t happened in years).

Shopping spree this afternoon with my mother who flew from Europe.

Birthday this week too.

  • Luckily out of hospital
  • Mother flew in from Europe
  • Parents made effort to be together with you
  • Especially when it's your birthday.

I would say that things look pretty grim (or maybe not). But it's up to you to say ... how are you? Don't shy away from the details.

Even though we may not be able to help, we can read.
 
Sunny weather predicted for the long weekend in Gauteng...
