sad. very sad. sometimes life sucks, in fact, from where i'm standing, life sucks all the time. i'm in no mood to blog sense right now, sometimes you think you have it all figured out, but it has a funny nasty little way of telling you to go *beep* yourself. sometimes you meet someone, and sometimes you really like that someone. i mean really really like them. sometimes you like them so much you can't help that small somewhere-within-you feeling that whispers this is it. sometimes you believe in that whisper (for the whisper will be making sense) so much you start building. you start building, and, when you finish, you take a look at the castles you have built. sometimes you adore the castles so much you can't even get yourself amazed at your own craftsmanship, so much you cannot credit yourself as one who managed to defy gravity and build them in air. sometimes you build a reality that can never exist (only you dont know it yet ) and you give yourself a nice little...

This is Part II to I hate Yahoo! This time I'm getting myself annoyed by how the linux version of yahoo messenger sucks. Lets take a look at the current version on messenger which I have running on my desktop. Pretty neat ha? To think that this comes from the same people who gave you the windows version that everyone so much loves! This has to be the most basic IM client I have ever seen. Visit the messenger homepage for linux at http://messenger.yahoo.com/unix.php and there, they will tell you that IM client now: Includes: Improved Emoticons Improved Message Archive Improved sound on RedHat kernels Yahoo! Address Book integration File transfer with Windows clients Please! We were doing that with "Windows 3.11 for workgroups" in pre-school (well thats a bit stretched but... please). All the cool features that come with the windows version , some of us have no such priviledges. I have to admit that its not just Yahoo! that does not take Linux as a...

I have just noticed that a couple of weeks after I've set up this blog, I still am not indexed on google. A quick search using the same query on Yahoo, Google and Altavista is a bit disappointing. but I think Yahoo and AltaVista share something in common, the results look the same. But what sucks even more is that it seems every other tom dick and harrySearch engine brings up this site except google. Now seeing how google is my homepage and all, i think I am the most disappointed googler around. Maybe it explains why noone has picked up the Gmail invites I offered ;)

Born at the end of colonization, I grew up in what they called the post-colonisation era, I understand some people out there dont know how it is to be colonised, but my parents, and grandparents will tell you how it is to be at the bad end of it. I'm more tolerant of things like "unity", "togetherness", "freedom" and all the other buzz words simply because I really did not see with my own two eyes the extent to which we were oppressed. But I've heard the stories, I've seen the evidence and I can tell you, just to listen to the stories is not an easy or comfortable thing. You ask yourself how a human being can treat another human being like they are worse than animals? But hey that's in the past right? Its all gone right? Maybe; but to say that we have come together as one, black and white, in as much as we might try, we have not. Why do I say so? I say so because we have not, I say so because I grew up in Chitungwiza and down there it wa...
