As mentioned in my previous post, I recently wrote an exam to become Certified as a Kubernetes Application Developer. (CKAD). It had been many, many - plus many more of the word 'many' - years since I last wrote a formal exam. I signed up for the course for a few of the reasons below:... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since my last post (translation: literary masterpiece, work of genius etc. etc. ). Life happened since then and now (translation: trying to preserve sanity in a locked-down, screwed-up, devices-drawing- one-in-while-draining-one-out world). Such a long time; I forgot the password to login to this platform 🤦♂️. Looks like the visitor stats are... Continue Reading →
I've been in lockdown for; checks notes; an eternity. South Africa has different lockdown levels. Level 5 was a full lockdown. Over time there has been a gradual easing of restrictions.

Yep, it's all dark and gloomy in here today, like the depths of Mordor… here's a... Continue Reading →

In search of a new blog title, I ruled out Will Reblog all your Posts for Cash and My friends will Like your Social Media updates if you Pay me as possible options. They seemed slightly too long (and probably also violate some terms of service somewhere). The Champion ___ seemed like a winner; all... Continue Reading →
In news that is designed to either shock, surprise, or cause complete indifference; comes a story about someone who lost a potential job offering based on…… her blog title (gasps) It gets darker; much darker dear friends; for the misunderstood title that the lady had chosen was called the Recovering Procrastinator (more gasps and confusion)....

Statement: Lets go for an outing… Somewhere outdoors, pool if possible, not too busy Response: Yeah!!, let's see who is in Question: where do we go? Action: search for places Realisation: Arendsnes is an option Action again: ignore realisation, search more frantically Suggestion: there is Arendsnes (eventually meekly made by someone from the search party)...
