The Amazing Race…
I jumped at the idea of having an adventure through Europe like a fat kid loves a cupcake. There was little time to save cash for this epic journey… but, I knew, if there wasn’t a date looming over us, my trusty brother Marc Frost and I may never have felt the pressure and pulled this off. There’s no time like the present! And with 2 months till launch date (April 12 2011), we went through the extremely tedious process of aquiring Holiday Visas – which was fairly …

MXit API unveiled…
Yesterday I attended the release of the MXit API for external applications and games. What can I say, as usual for a MXit event, my high expectations were met. Hosted at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study, the lucky attendees were welcomed with good food and drinks, a gift pack of MXit branded stuff and one of the all new MXit Gear (MXit clothing range) items on their seats.

MXit on your desktop
A new pc client written entirely in Java, daxtop is a lightweight multi-protocol instant messenger geared originally for MXit on the desktop but holds support for multiple other protocols like Google Talk, Skype, Twitter and many more.

TDD in the Cape
Most conventional forms of development developers use in their day to day efforts – are in the form of design first, develop after or develop and design as we go or some sort of mixture of the two. Then, just maybe – if you haven’t already juiced the tiny bit of time you have left before the deadline – you might have enough time to write a couple tests.

Blink 182 finish touring
If you have been following their progress, you may have heard Blink 182 have just finished touring the US and surrounding states. Although it is over, they’re excited, and it’s time for another full length album like we have never heard before.

MXit released a new service that can be used to set the name you use to login to MXit… so no more remembering those long mobile numbers.

Here’s how it works…

Rats! I need a new mouse… I always hate buying a new mouse because I like to spend a good chunk of cash on a decent one. And you must get a decent one – especially when its the piece of hardware you will probably touch the most on a pc. You don’t have as much time resting your hand on a keyboard, the mouse has to be “right” for you.
I did a little research before buying the Logitech G500. I came to one conclusion, its a good mouse. The …
