Justice denied by creative remedies
South Africa has a crime problem of note, and the ANC government together with the former National Party government is 100% guilty of it. It is not so much that the laws are wrong (they are), or that the police … Continue reading

If you can do something interesting in bash, then here’s how you do it in python. Suppose you have this interesting bash thing… …and you want to do some crazy python thing on it. Here’s how you do it: And … Continue reading
The Holy City, Jerusalem – just not in Afrikaans, please
Gé Korsten popularised an Afrikaans translation of Frederic E. Weatherly’s “The Holy City” (1892). This is a song that, in its original, is filled from end to end with allusions to scripture. It is about the joy of Jerusalem of … Continue reading

The disk filled up on a mysql master database because of a few 80Gb queries being written to the mysql bin logs (somehow it couldn’t handle them). The fix on the master was to have more disk space. The fix … Continue reading
EPSON ink tank printers are a ripoff
Bricking a perfectly good printer EPSON ink tank printers are a ripoff. The particular printer that irked me is the Epson L382, but they are all a ripoff. The promise of ink tank printers is that you buy the printer … Continue reading
Thanks, but no thanks, BibleProtector.com
Matthew Verschuur of Australia has undertaken to prepare a definitive copy of the “Cambridge Edition” of the KJV circa 1900, which he calls the “Pure Cambridge Edition” (PCE). He has taken time to check punctuation and capitalisation and spelling against … Continue reading
“Unable to negotiate SSH” after “upgrade”
If you update to Ubuntu LTS (version 22.04), you will want this in your .ssh/config: Failure to do that gets you this: The dear old NSA of the USA is gently shoving everyone away from effective cryptography towards backdoored nonsense, … Continue reading
