My Ten Favourite Websites
This was a tough one… Her is ten of my favourite websites:
Google Besides having a very good search engine, Google offers many other services and products. E.g. GMail, Google Docs, Adsense, etc.
FileHippo A very good site for downloading software.
Tiny URL Just love shorter addresses.
DimDim A webconference facility. If under 20 participants, it is for FREE.
MediaFire Need online storage space? Unlimited? Don’t even have to be a member to upload.
GetJar A Good collection of software for cellphones.
Mozilla FireFox The best web browser out there.
S.A. Rugby Viva the Bokke! I love rugby!
WordPress The best blog site!
FaceBook Yep I’m a Facebook additct, my favourite social network out there.

My Ten Favourite Programmes
I received an e-mail asking me what is my top 10 favourite programmes and websites. The actual list of software is 2 pages long, so here are the ones I picked:
Mozilla Firefox Definite the best browser out there!!! A lot of add-ons available.
CCleaner formerly known as CrapCleaner. This utility software program removes temp files, clear browser cache, etc. It runs quite fast.
Real Player Definite one of my favourite music players, even have a built-in download manager for Flash Video files (like the movies on youTube).
Paint.NET Definite the best photo/graphics editing software out there that is for FREE!
Alcohol 120 CD/DVD backup, emulation, etc. An alternative is ImgBurn which is a lightweight burner even for HD DVD and Blue-Ray.
DVD Decrypter A pity that this was shut down, still one of my favourite programs to backup my encrypted DVD’s.
McAfee Avert Stinger This program worms and trojans, and removes it from your drive(s). I like it much more than MS Windows malware remover.
Shicola’s CodePad There are different alternatives for MS Notepad, but this one I use regularly for coding snippets.
Age of the Empires Play time, even have the first one. My favourite nation is in Age of the Empires II – The Byzantines.
Red Alert The original game was the one of the first PC Games I’ve owned. I loved the way this game has evolved. One of the best games out there.

Die Verskillende Profiele van Super 14 Supporters in SA
1. Die Bulls Supporter
Jy, as die gemiddelde Bloubul ondersteunder, se IK verskyn agter op die rug van jul kaptein se trui. Saterdae, vir 80 minute lank, roteer een breinsel tussen jou en die 70 000 ander soos jy. “Liefling” en “Bloubul” was vooraf in jou memory chip geprogrameer. Jy ry waarskynlik ‘n 4X4, dra “two-tone” hemde, PT-broeke en rugbykouse. Jou selfoon is waarskynlik groter as jou tottie, maar beslis kleiner as jou snor. Jou bek is die grootste op enige “party”.
Enigiets wat duurder as jou buurman s’n is. Waarskynlik ‘n Prado, Mercedes of Audi.
Brannas en Castle, want dit maak jou dapper genoeg om jou vrou by die huis te gaan probeer bliksem nadat jou span (alweer) verloor het.
Jy is ‘n undercover moffie al het jy ‘n vrou en tien kinders. Jou vrou is heel moontlik ook queer of alternatiewelik ‘n “sex change”. Jy dra Raybans en fokken lelike klere. Jy het vasgesteek by Bob Marley en rook steeds boom saam met jou oupa.
Onder die dekmantel van “karre is wêreldsgoed” ry jy alles wat kak is omdat jy niks beter kan bekostig nie.
Enigiets wat jy verniet kan kry. Sedert die einde van Lion Ale is jy basies gefok!
Jy gee die konsep “oningelig” ‘n heeltemal nuwe betekenis. Besoekers aan Bloemfontein beland elke keer by die Ford-garage wanneer hulle verwysings vra na die naaste Escort Agency! Die enigste ding platter as jou provinsie se vlaktes is jou kop. Die feit dat jy nog altyd dink dat die “stock exchange” vendusie-krale is, is bewys hiervan.
Enigiets wat met diesel werk. Jy is diesel-befok. Selfs jou dogter se nuwe vibrator is diesel-aangedrewe.
Shooters. Enige shooters. Vandat jou seun op Tukkies studeer het shooters veld gewen in jou provinsie.
Die enigste organisme meer arrogant as jy, word nog ontwikkel. Jy verkeer skynbaar onder die indruk dat alle lede van homo sapiens moerse beïndruk is met ‘n platberg, suurwyn en vrot snoek. Jou “laidback” lewensstyl is jou verskoning om luigatgeit te regverdig. Jou idée van “foreplay” is ‘n losskrum.
Iets met wiele en verkieslik rónde wiele.
Met die koms van Tik is dop nie meer belangrik nie, maar op die fly sal waarskynlik ‘n paar mondevol bloutrein bitter moeilik kan weerstaan.
Jou oumagrootjie was die eerste prostituut op die Johannesburgse goudvelde. Jy gaan kyk net rugby op Ellispark as jou span wen. Ellispark is dus ‘n uiters vreemde planeet vir jou. Anders as ander spanne se ondersteuners moer jy jou vrou wanneer jou span wen. Dus is jou uitgebreide familie reeds vyf geslagte sonder vroueslaners

I Hate Internet Explorer Viva Firefox
My favourite browser is Mozilla Firefox and I am devoted user of it like a lot of you.
So what now, there are certain sites that won’t except Firefox, e.g. the IEC (Independent Electoral Commission) , not to mention Windows Update.
The solution: Install the IE Tab Add-on.

Windows doesn’t show my hidden folders
You have a problem that you can’t see hidden files or folders in Windows. Also Windows doesn’t allow you to turn the setting on.
The problem is your computer, flash-drive, memory stick, USB stick or whatever you call it has been infected with malware.
The easy way to solve it is with Flash Disinfector.
How does Flash Disinfector work:
Download it – Available here or search the web for it.
Open the file and follow the prompts.
Your desktop may vanish for awhile but it will appear back to normal.
Wait until the scan is finished and quit Flash Disinfector.
Remember this tool does not remove all autorun.inf viruses or/and malware!!!
