Back at Mzoli’s today. I went out early and ordered a bucket load of meat (literally). There were 20 or 30 of us in total. We did order more meat later though. This was just the first round!

You might call them url shortcodes, shortcuts, abbreviations or otherwise. Firefox calls them keywords. Bookmark a page, edit the bookmark, add a keyword. Now type that keyword into the address bar and hit enter. Boom, it takes you to the bookmarked page.
So instead of typing http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm I can instead just type “search” and boom, I’m there! Props to cryton on freenode#firefox for the info. 
I was on my way home last night. I stopped my motorbike to read a text message. It was just next to the central train / taxi station. Out of the corner of my eye, I spot a guy crossing the road towards me. Not in front or behind me, right towards me. I stuffed my phone in my jacket pocket. The bike was in 3rd gear. I dropped to 2nd and twisted the gas. It starts slowly in 2nd. He was running by now. He got to me just as the bike was moving off. His hand went straight for my pocket. He was on my right hand side. My right hand was on the accelerator. My left hand just managed to keep him out of my pocket. As my speed picked up he dropped off.
Close call.
Gotta love South Africa baby!
