New and exciting things

I am excited to announce that I started my new job on October 1st, 2007. The time came for me to move on from Trustco, and begin and new and exciting chapter in my career. I am no longer in a Clarion programming job, but have moved into the .NET world full time. For the […]

FaceBook, work, and me.

So a bunch of my friends have been nagging me to join Facebook. My reason for avoiding it has been that social networking sites are not top of my priority list, as they are generally untidy, ugly, and a big fat time guzzler. Well, I gave in, and signed up. My thoughts are still the […]

ColinCrowder.com Update

I recently discovered an error on the Colin Crowder Memorial Website, whereby Internet Explorer users would get errors popping up while attempting to post their comments. This issue has been resolved. My apologies for the inconvenience.
I have also added links to the RSS feeds for the site for those who want to keep track of […]

Cheers Mr Colin!

It is with great sadness that I bid my farewell to a great friend. Colin Crowder passed away suddenly on March 6th, 2007. I have known the Crowder family for many years, but in recent years Joanne and Colin welcomed me into their home, and made me feel a part of the family. We have […]

Just because you’re single, or believe romance is only found in the movies, that’s no excuse for not celebrating and enjoying the 14th of February each year! For me, instead of being lonely and depressed, I make the most of it. I played some good old classics today… some cheesy love songs from the 90’s… […]

Some news…

Hi all,
I have been thinking a lot about this blog. As you can see, I have not blogged as much as I anticipated, but for good reasons. We all know the excuse of being too busy, and that’s part of it, but there have been some other issues lately that have made it a little […]

2006 and counting…

I can’t believe how quickly 2005 came and went. When I went on leave on December 15th, I couldn’t say I felt ready to end 2005. Now that we’re into 2006 though, there seems to be some sense of new beginnings. 2005 is not down in my books as “great year”, and yet even through […]

Bloem 2005 LTT

Hi all. Well, I have just returned from a week long Leaders Training Time (LTT) in Bloemfontein. That’s about 1000 kms from Cape Town. It was excellent. I really enjoyed the sessions, and found them incredibly helpful. Another awesome part of the trip was seeing my friend Pat from Sydney Australia. We had a great […]
