Would like Pta to get a bit of snow...Bloem had, Jozi had, how about us?
Random thought of the minute: do not expect to enjoy work if you are going to sit at Cool Runnings until 2am the night before...
But it was good. Yawn.

Check out some beautiful hiphop
heads doing their thing in Cape Town.
@mario2002: Forgot your earlier question...No I don't know when the N93 should be available but guessing by Nokia standards it shouldn't take too long after the European release.

Folks, PE is under flood! I made it to work, found out that i'm the only person there, so i headed back home (usually a 12min drive, today it took me 85min). The river is literally inside the school!! A few minutes ago the emergency services notified residents to stay indoors, then the Education Dept made an official announcement that schools are closed until further notice. Even SARS is closed for the day
One of the nicest things i've heard today is that the biggest 4x4 club in the province has indicated that anybody stuck on the roads today can give them a call and they'll tow those affected vehicles free of charge.

@da krypsta: I downloaded NetFront but something I can't quite figure out is...how do you cut and paste?

Apart from sites which allow one to edit text, like Esato, using Netfront to cut and paste is quite impossible, which is why i use Opera Mini as well, specifically for that purpose.

It's that bad, boet, and worse... A number of people have lost their lives thus far, with more rain expected thru the night and over the weekend...
On a more cellular-related note, a buddy called me today, said he'd taken his 6230i to a cellshop since it started acting strange... They subsequently told him that it had been infected, and that the Redbrowser Trojan was the cause of it.
I first saw it mentioned here,
http://mobile.esato.com/viewtopic.php?topic=116657&forum=12 and here's some more info on it.
Kaspersky Lab, one of the world's leading anti-virus companies, has detected a new piece of mobile malware. Trojan- SMS.J2 ME.RedBrowser.a is the first malicious program to infect not only smartphones, but any mobile phone capable of running Java (J2ME) applications. The Trojan spreads in the guise of a program called RedBrowser, which allegedly enables the user to visit WAP sites without using a WAP connection. According to the Trojan's author, this is made possible by sending and receiving free SMSs. In reality, the Trojan sends SMSs to premium rate numbers. The Trojan is a Java application, a JAR format archive. The file may be called "redbrowser.jar", and is 54482 bytes in size. The Trojan can be downloaded to the victim handset either via the Internet (from a WAP site) or via Bluetooth or a personal computer. The archive contains the following files: . FS.class - auxiliary file (2719 bytes in size) . FW.class - auxiliary file (2664 bytes in size). icon.png - graphics file (3165 bytes in size) . logo101 .png - graphics file ( 16829 bytes in size) . logo128 .pnh - graphics file ( 27375 bytes in size) . M.class - interface file (5339 bytes in size) . SM.class - Trojan application which sends SMS messages (1945 bytes in size) The Trojan can be easily removed from the victim handset using standard utilities already installed on the telephone. Other versions of RedBrowser, or similar programs, may well be circulating on the Internet. Kaspersky Lab recommends that mobile phone users exercise caution and do not download or launch unknown programs via the Internet. David Emm, Senior Technology Consultant, Kaspersky Lab, comments: "This latest virus represents a natural progression for virus writers who are constantly seeking to extend their reach by spreading infections via as many platforms as possible. One thing's for sure - RedBrowser may be the first of its kind, but it certainly won't be the last."

Wonder what mario2002 makes of that virus and its malicious abilities...
The super-slim (6.9mm thick along most of the handset) Samsung X820 is now available here.
Celltech was testing one of these some time ago.
Carphone Warehouse have just introduced them at £149.95 (approx R2000) when bought with £10 airtime. Watch this price drop over the next few weeks or so...
