Not all water under the bridge

The last time that I got involved in Nisadas was to upgrade to Wordpress 2.3 or something like that. The next thing I know, my next spam-deletion visit was met with the news that 2.5 was out and my spanking new upgrade was obsolete! Ah well, so there I went and upgraded…

To be honest, it’s nice. Nice to use Wordpress again and nice to be blogging again. Over the last few months, much has happened.

• September whizzed by and South Africa won the Rugby World Cup (as I predicted to my All Blacks’ fanboy colleagues, weeks before the tournament).
• Sri Lanka fought hard and got into the Cricket World Cup finals, only to lose out to Australia (and don’t even think of discussing the whole squash ball incident).
• I watched the finals of the aforesaid cricket match, whilst running intermittently to the balcony to watch tracer bullets fire at the possible locations of LTTE light aircraft.
• I never got around to buying the new computer, although the people from ABC Computers thanked me for pointing out that their website was a bit out of date.
• I married an amazing young lady. Life has taken a distinct turn for the better!
• I got promoted.
• After much deliberation, I bought a car.
• I got over my suspicions of social networking and finally joined Facebook.
• The guys at Vesess totally amazed me with their new look and have now gone totally Free.
• A number of blogs that I enjoyed reading have vanished - notably Mahangu’s which is now used by someone else (unless that is, Mahangu.org is written by MW in an intentionally different style).
• The local website for HSBC was revamped and now allows access from a variety of browsers. Haven’t checked whether it works with linux, but there’s no reason it shouldn’t.
• I realised that 34 posts over a period of almost three years (since Nisadas went live) is pretty lame for a blog.
• I also realised that apart from fetish-crazed spambots, no one (well, except for one special person) really vists Nisadas anymore.

So that’s it. Things have happened - not limited to the list above - over the last few months. If you will join me again, you may find out more…
