Stumbled unintentionally on this site today: http://www.yesnomayb.co.za (it was actually an ad on a site I was on, and since I’m all about Google Adsense clicking these days, thought I’d click to ‘donate’).
By chance, and despite using Win32 platforms most of the day, at night I use my Mac Mini. And Safari.

How to write a complaint letter

Ewins trouble
One of my more ambitious online purchases recently has been a full outdoors table and chairs set. Here’s the “Palermo Collection” 12pc Outdoor Dining Set we were sold from Ewins.com:

The woes of buying a brand new home from Ryland Homes.
Six and a bit months on and they’re still not done. Oh, and did I mention the plasma TV incentive shortchanging?
