Birthday present (painting)

My birthday present from my girlfriend – a commissioned painting by an artist we both like (http://kirstentjie.deviantart.com) painted to the inspiration of “Orbital – Halcyon On and On

(the paint was still a bit wet when this picture was taken, it looks even better in real life :D)

Awesome 8-bit Color Cycling with HTML5

There are some awesome 8-bit (think arcade games) color cycling demos, using HTML 5, over at EffectGames – definitely worth checking out.

(lame GIF animation by me :P)

Some Team Fortress 2 Fun

Looks like I’m getting better at playing Spy ;)

MWeb Fail… HARD

If you live in South Africa, and have ADSL, you probably know that there are major problems thanks to the Seacom cable being down… again. MWeb have put mention of this on their “Free the Web” Facebook page:

So things sound fairly bad. They even told another user “The current functionality is limited to browsing and mail. We will keep you posted as things improve“… just minutes before they posted this:

That’s right, amidst country-wide internet failure, incredibly slow speeds and connection problems, MWeb decided to be about a month behind anyone who’s watched a YouTube video or been on the internet since the World Cup started and tell everyone about the soccer ball icon that adds Vuvuzela noise to the video you’re watching. That’s right everyone, go forth and watch YouTube videos with an annoying sound playing while everyone else struggles just to connect to anything. Great logic there MWeb, well done.

UPDATE: MWeb just posted this – fail.
