No posts in several days due to the fact that SA's only fixed line provider, Telkom, enjoys enforcing a 3gig cap on its ADSL subscribers. 3gigs is crazy, whilst chatting to mit82 in the UK, "screw this crazy 3gig cap", "3gigs isn't that bad, seriously how much do you need a day?", "you crazy British fool, that’s 3gig a month not a day, I freaken wish!", "oh, that does suck." During the past few days I have been forced to find other means to fill those moments of brief consciousness between naps, I bought magazines, rented DVDs, set high scores on my phone and the ultimate sacrilege, I watched TV - F-ck free to air TV. Watched SABC 3 (which is the best, and sadly still not really worth watching,) and as a media consumer I was forced to endure more ads than any educated being should ever be forced to, I think that the channels are working together so that when there are ads on one channel (four in total, yay:( ) then all the other stations play ads too, so you are left to choose whichever ad you despise the least, ja I hate the feminine hygiene product ad a little less than the MacDonald’s ad, lets watch that one instead, or I've already seen that ad 8 times tonight lets look for a new one. Sounds like a great night’s viewing pleasure.... It is at times like this that I see why I don’t watch TV anymore, its not because I am super cultured and would rather read a book or solve the world’s problems… No I want to play internet internet, I want to use Google to search for random shit, I want to play free games, listen to free music and watch free movies. In short the internet is the ultimate time waster. Productivity is no longer on my agenda, nor is my actual agenda. Maybe I’m just lazy in a different way, I think that is probably it, but do I feel bad? No of course not, I blame it on “insert world issue that you should care about, but actually don’t”
Enough ranting let me share some things with you that you can waste your bandwidth on.
Bit Torrent – The wave of the future for file distribution, Bit Torrent on Wikipedia, first you will need a cient, I use Azureus, it works well and has a pretty logo.. Ah pretty logo. And so that you don't get arrested you should only download legal torrets. For those of you are sick of having the default windows download thing screw up at about 80% of a download, here is Free Download Manager, and as the name suggests it is free (warning: when set on high mode it will kill your connection)
Waste your time here.
