Moving to Wordpress?
It seems that a lot of folk out there are moving to Wordpress. I have resisted for a long time. Then I started using Wordpress on a lot of sites that I'm busy developing.
And I must say. I like. Make no mistake. I have nothing against blogger, I just like that I have more control in Wordpress. Some of you might not know, but even though I'm a business man now, I actually started my career as a computer programmer, and have the degree and experience to prove it.
I thus enjoy dabling in coding every now and then, and wordpress allows me to do just that. The nice thing about Wordpress as well is that I can set up a whole site to look like a site and not a blog. Take my www.need-a-fax.co.za for example. All done in wordpress, even though it looks like a normal website and not a blog. Blogger unfortunately does not have this functionality.
So, I have registered www.glugster.co.za. (Surprise, surprise, the domain was available lol)
I will be moving.
Maybe not in the next day or so, but the move will be made. I'm going to take my time. Make it look the way I want. Maybe even give it a new name. But, move I will.
Oh, it will also be the ideal opportunity to get my blogroll up to date. Sorry to all my regulars who I haven't added yet.
So what do ya all think? I know Shebee will be gald, cause then she can start commenting again. Hehehe
OK. Later.

The Toilet Seat - A Study
Ok, so it was almost unanimous in the disgust for the new toilet seat. Except for EXMI of course. She wants it! She can have it. LOL
In any case, the hunt is on for a replacement. Can't keep EXMI waiting after all. So I did a little search online for some options. Below are 5 I found. Which one would you like? My favorite, is the glow in the dark one. Ingenious!

The big unveiling.......
Ok.
Firstly, everybody got it wrong.
Secondly, I don't blame you!
Thirdly, this is by no means a permanent fixture! Hahaha.
You see, the toilet seat in our bathroom broke. And I wanted a new one in a hurry. So Angel says to me: "I've got one". It was one of those horrible gifts she and her siblings exchange during special occassions. She'll explain better.
In any case, I said she should bring it, it's only temporary after all. And so she did. And there you have it! LOL
It is made from a plastic material thingy and PUFFS at you when you sit on it! Quite a strange feeling I must admit.
Don't worry. I'll probably be hunting down a new toilet seat this weekend.

PS. I wonder what kind of search terms will get people to my blog, now that I have the words "toilet seat" published!
PPS. The seat hisses at you when you get up!

Yes, I know, I'm Quiet
Yes, I know I haven't been a good blogger lately. But I have been quite busy. I really don't know what has come over me lately but I'm hyper productive at work. My email inbox is under control for the first time in months! I'm getting things done quickly and efficiently. Procrastination has been reduced to a minimum.
The net effect of all this productivity though is that I do not get around to posting much, and have even less time to read and comment on blogs.
But I will be back. I've just been doing a lot of exiting stuff (exiting for me that is) after hours, so I haven't even been able to read up on some of my favourites at night.
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about any of you guys. What most of don't know is that I have set up RSS feeds to most of your blogs on my Outlook, so I know when you have posted and can read the post without having to visit your blog. So beware.....I'm watching........LOL
OK. Meeting time. Will chat later. Bye
