welcome back wazarmoto, glad all was good...wish you all the joy and hapiness for your life together;-)
I have been doing the admin thing all day...lots of work!
Okay, so i mentioned the mxit thing with education? Well, anyway, the one lady I am working with here at the school is either doing research regarding education using mobile communications for someone to do with Tukkies. Her project involves getting mobile devices involved in a chat room via mig33(very nice little app...excellent for msn) or mxit. Think mxit won't work for it. But the big thing is being able to log these chats that happen. The problem is, it is easy to log 1-1 chats, but to have logs of mobile chats in a chatroom is another thing. Up to 12 people needs to be involved, mxit is limited to 7, and there is no way of logging. Mig33 can have 25 people in a room, but also the logging problem. Anyone know a way past this? Any help or info regarding this would be most welcome.
Aparently the older kids at this school considers mxit an amateur applications, one that the little kids use, and they all prefer mig33. I loaded mig33 on my phone for the first time (it sucked on my previous phone) and i must say I am impressed! VOip, msn and yahoo compatability(the msn stuff works nicely) I would recommend all you guys into chat clients check it out.
A bunch of informative articles:

Wanqa, bloody beautiful pic there boet! It definitely belongs in the photo section, as Brix mentioned. Really good work man!
We've been roasting to death here over the past few days. The temp right now has just topped 39, and the discomfiture index is currently at 110 which means ppl are advised to stay indoors and keep cool, etc.
Regarding stationery, ho and hum seem to be the most appropriate words to use. For a school of nearly 600 mostly-impoverished kids, two boxes containing 288 A4 exercise books just won't cut the mustard
But hey, the Dept. assures us, via the media, there's no problem... yeah rite Naledi, pull the other one, it has bells on it...
Wazar, good to hear you had a pleasant honeymoon, bro. Would really be brilliant if flat data rates could be implemented here. There doesn't seem to be any reason why such rates can't be implemented, imho. I'd chalk the reluctance of the networks up to greed, in the absence of valid reasons why they can't implement such options.

So Mxit has sold some of its shares to Naspers.... Would be interesting to see whether there'll be any new developments...

@ Kryptik, Brix & Francois,
Thanks, sometimes it's a case of press n' pray with cellphone pics, but it's great to see that advances in cellphone camera hardware and software is contributing to far more pleasing results.
It took about four shots of that flower at different close-up distances and focusses in macro mode and without the flash, until I was satisfied with the result.
The only editing done is resizing or cropping the pic for the forum etc., but I refuse to edit the image itself by using any PC pic contrast settings, image sharpness settings etc., as to me that would be blatant cheating and missing the point as regards cellphone camera abilities.
Now then, what can we expect from cameraphones like the N95 et al and beyond..? Bring 'em on!

@da krypsta: Although Naspers dominates most media outlets in SA, and indeed most of Africa, it has failed to make a dent in the mobile arena...some six months ago they launched mobizines without much hype. Anyone bought a mobizine lately?

@ brixster,
Look what's amongst the latest n' greatest 'action figures' to hit the shelves here...one of Mr. Dumile's alter egos! Sure it could also be used as a serious paperweight

@da wanqsta: You are a bloody genius. Which stores are selling that action figure? Honestly though I'm more interested in the mask from the movie Gladiator as worn by Russel Crowe.
