Dumbest Techno moments since 2000

Since Y2K many strange and wonderful things have happened in the world of technology.

A great article from the guys at Technologizer looks at the 87 most lamest moments in the last decade.

Some of my personal favourites are

  1. Millennium bug (Y2*superfail*K)
  2. Segway - Making Laziness look cool
  3. Sony's awful rootkit!
  4. Vista.. nuff said 

You can read the full list by just following this link : http://technologizer.com/2009/12/20/dumb-moments/

Bored at work? Here is a nice little Brain Teaser

I've got a lovely little brain teaser here for anyone who is brave enough to attempt it.

It really isn't that difficult, and can be solved with just guessing( but that would take forever seeing as you have 362880 possible combinations [9!])

Enjoy :D

ICC : A new era has dawned!

Last night we started off on our ICC campaign all hyped up and ready to roll. Having been quite the follower of the hype generated by top Guilds such as Ensidia I was very excited to finally set foot inside the Icecrown Citadel.

As we stepped inside first thing everybody did was run off to their respective merchants to look at all the wonderful loot that will be available to them in the very distant future and linking to all who they thought would be interested.

While standing at the entrance waiting for the rest to get over the "omw.. look at this awesome [some item requiring 90 frost emblems] I must admit, I didn't for one second expect random mobs to come out of the abyss and kill the closets non-tank around. Myself being one of these unfortunate victims.

After some "wtf", "watch out" and the envivatible "rez plz" we were ready to take on the trash..
Not knowing what to expect, trash again became interesting and clearing them took some getting use to..

Taking on 10 skeletons with ease just to have some big ass elite skele come destroy us all wasn't exactly part of the script.

As we started getting the trash down we could clearly see Marrowgar in the distance, this of course only made us more excited (as if this at all possible) and quickly dispatched the rest of the trash.

Once at Marrowgar we first attempted three blind tries which I personally enjoyed alot. Infact, by the third try we had the tactics nailed, and reading up after the third attempt just confirmed what we had already discovered.

There were some bumps and grinds, but once everyone got use to getting out the blue flame, and killing bone spikes we cleared Marrowgar without too much fuss and quickly headed off to Lady Deathwhisperer.

After some attempts and reading up on tactics I really foresee us struggling on this one.
It is going to require almost the entire raid to be doing something other than just spam healing or spam dpsing. It will require movement, micro and macro management and some good co-ordination.

I Hope I'm wrong, but I give this boss a 2 week wipe duration!

Without anymore bumbling, here is the proofzor!



Gratz on Kasmik, Mianeye and Baulghbag for picking up the first of many awesome loots

And we thought Cape Town had bad traffic!

Jo'burgians and Cape Townians always have this little spat about whose traffic is worse. Jo'burg always plays the Galooli card, to which Cape Town responds with the N1 card.
But to the rest of the world, we are but small fries..
Check out the following traffic shots..


GG?


Bottleneck of NOTE


Round and round we don't go


Snow + Traffic == Accident waiting for a car to happen


And here we thought only car drivers experienced traffic issues

All I can say is.. Hooray for only having to deal with the N1 and Galooli!
