I just subscribed to Python magazine, who have just released their first issue. The first issue is available at no cost, and future issues will be available at different costs depending on how you’d like to read it.
I wasn’t sure whether it’s the right thing to do to buy a Python magazine, considering that there are so much good free material out there, but the quality of the first issue seems very good, and if it will improve my skills, then I think it’s certainly worth while.

On Friday the 12th of October, my favourite non-profit organisation will be protesting against Telkom‘s appalling service. The protest takes place on 12 October 2007, from parliament in Plein street, to Telkom’s offices in St George’s mall. I’m incredibly unhappy that I won’t be able to attend it (see update below), since I’ll still be in Joburg for business purposes.
I do urge everyone who reads this to give their support to IkamvaYouth for this cause, or even better, attend the protest.
Telkom’s incredibly poor service is doing damage to our country, and it seems to be getting worse with every passing year. This is a good opportunity to make your voice heard, make use of the opportunity.
UPDATE:
I will be able to attend the Toyi-toyi after all. I will be flying down to Cape Town next Thursday, and will leave for Joburg again at the end of the weekend.

Since I was in my teens. I struggled with my weight. Every time I tried dieting, excercising better, or anything else, I gained more weight. The last 6 weeks, I’ve lost 8kg. I didn’t change diet, or excercise more than usual. I couldn’t figure out why this was happening, and then I remembered the weight loss started happening right about the same time I started taking a multivitaimin I haven’t tried before. Since then I felt great, my concentration improved, I sleep better and have better problem solving skills.
Today was the first day in the last 6 weeks that I haven’t taken my vitamins, and I felt terrible. I didn’t know why, until I got home and realised that I haven’t taken them today. I find it amazing how quickly they started working, and how quickly I felt the effects once I stopped taking them.
I’d strongly urge everyone to take a multivitamin. It has certainly increased my quality of life. I use the Centrum multivitamin, but I suppose any multivitamin would work well. I’ve taken plenty of other vitamins before (Vitamin C, Omega 3, and a bunch of others), but nothing seems to have worked quite as well as this. I don’t mean to sound like an advertisement, but do yourself a favour and try it!
