Yea, a date… can you believe it. After all these years, Hugo finally has a date. For a thesis defence for his M.ScEng, that is. Now things get messy: I’m cancelling my entry in the Go tournament. I must prepare to suffer the wrath of TD (the Tournament Director). In particular, the tournament director responded: [...]

Just a misc personal update. As I’ve mentioned previously, I want to go on four weeks of holiday starting with Easter. I have a couple of other activities on Tuesdays. This clashes with Shofar’s Bible School. Yup, I went to Bible School yesterday! It was just the intro session. I’m quite eager to learn what [...]

At the moment I’m feeling a little overloaded with a bunch of stuff. This is causing a lull on the social side of things. More serious socialising will mostly have to wait until later this month. In the mean time, I’m trying to get back into shape, and would like to add a social aspect [...]

I’m tired of intolerance, hatred and war. I’m tired of groups attacking one another, to feel better about themselves.

It might be useful to find some bubbling wells accompanying you through your life, from which you can refill your cup. [...]

Hehe, surprising how much fun it is to shout “Repent! Repent!”, like a manic street preacher.

If you are reading this blog, I’d like to meet you. (Actually, even if you’re not reading this blog, I’d still like to meet you.) I would like to learn from you, understand your world-view and metaphysics, and what your opinions are about a couple of specific things. I will only ask questions, I will [...]

Daar sit die walglike ding. Groot en oranje. Alles rondom hom vervaag. Ek staar na hom, en hy staar na my. Groot en oranje. My hand beweeg versigtig nader. Ek het geen keuse nie. Stadig en huiwerig. Ek raak aan hom. My hand maak toe oor hom. Ek neem die mes in my ander hand [...]
