TechAttack #9 - Wiki's 1970-01-01 00:59:59 What the hell is a wiki you might ask. Now I am not writing this TechAttack for the geeks out there (apparently that is not a derogatory term these days) cause you all know and use wiki's all day long!
I have recently discovered the joy of wiki's thanks to Shnitz and Mike Stopforth. I am officially attending the 27 geek dinner for the first time (who knew I was a geek).
So now on to wiki's. Read more:Wiki
I join South Park - Meet Little Niki 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Thanks to Joffers from Chumpstyle for posting about this. It did occupy some of my time, but definitely not ten minutes!
Here's Little Niki:

Going, going, gone 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It's time. I am going on holiday tomorrow and it is time for me to make the move to nicharalambous.com.
After much thought and many decisions altered. I will be relocating my blog and renaming the theme of it to 3jobBlog. I will be altering the discussion slightly and will be talking more about my experiences as a working freelance journalist, an entrepreneur and a social person with a

TIME magazing relaunches website 1970-01-01 00:59:59 TIME Mag is one of my personal favourites. I love reading it, I love the photography and (I was about to say they are one of the most impartial reporting sources out there) they have partnered with CNN (not sure how recently) on the website
.
The site is easy to navigate, well designed in terms of placement of stories and legibility. This is one news site that does not sacrifice quality of
DNS setup complete 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So after all my big talk and fast walk the custom domain wasn't as peachy pie as Blogger makes it out to be. This is especially true if you have made use of a South African site to purchase your url (nicharalambous.com). I had to pay an extra R160 to setup
my DNS services. I have now paid R360 in total for one year and DNS issues. Not too bad but still, cut me a break.
I am going to Durban for Read more:complete
New blog, new template, new me 1970-01-01 00:59:59 All the changes have been done. Everything is in place and now I wait for Google to pick up on my url and pray that my DNS settings have worked out OK.
I have changed my template
. I know that I changed my template a couple of months ago but I think that it is necessary when obtaining a new url to obtain a new identity. So I have.
The blog is more sleek, darker and more interesting to look at.

URL change failed 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I know, I know. I'm on holiday by the sea but I am blogging. I have an excuse: Jen is studying so I gave her the room alone without distractions.
I noticed that my blog has not been up since I tried to change the URL on Friday morning. So I have changed the URL back to shutterview for the meantime but have left you all with my new blog look, direction and feel. I know this is another redesign
Puzzling isn't it? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I officially completed my first puzzle yesterday and documented it! The weather in Umhlanga has been up and down so we prepared and brought along a puzzle.
Here it is:
Yes, we were missing a piece
Don't mess wif my tootoo 1970-01-01 00:59:59 What is with all these bloody flippin' Afrikaans adverts on TV when there is sport on? Who buys this shit? Who listens to "Don't mess wif my tootoo
" kind of songs?
Honestly if you cannot speak a language and write songs with correct grammar then don't bother. If you speak clutch plate the sing clutch plate, if you speak some other random language then sing it. There are those who can manage it
There are no words 1970-01-01 00:59:59 There is nothing that anyone can say to make this feel less significant and saddening so I wont try. I am sorry for your loss.
"Oh Boy" indeed.
2007 Bloggies 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The Bloggies
have arrived so check your rolls and butter your bread. Get on down to the 2007 Bloggies site and cast your vote for the vast number of categories available.
The Bloggies are in their seventh year now and are going strong. The categories have grown, the exposure seems to be pretty vast and the the categories seem to cover many areas. Anyways, I think it's time to analyze your RSS
Custom domains on Blogger 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Leon from BBD directed me to this post about Blogger
's new custom domain tool.
You need to purchase your domain and make sure that it's working before you can select it as your new domain on blogger. Once these steps have been completed your old url will point to your new url so there wont be any links lost or time wasted in the past.
I am now considering the move from Shutterview to
nicharalambous.com 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I think that I am going to be renaming my blog to nicharalambous.com. I am not sure why, I have no particular reason but I think that it feels right. I have outgrown shutterview and will always be me so I will never outgrow nicharalambous.com. Plus I have already paid for the domain name.
Now I need to redesign template a bit and figure out DNS settings so that Google can start distributing new
Fresh faced comic - Okey Bakasi 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I decided to get all African up in here and provide some Nigerian humour for everyone today. Enjoy.
2Lazy4Video 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I have just posted my first post as a contributor to 2 Lazy 4 Video. This blog is a blog centred around music videos mostly old but some new, some brilliant kiddi muso's and some rubbish old gems from the past. If you are having a surf around and feel like checking out some golden oldies or if you are looking for an old music video or song feel free to email me or any of the other contributors
Greek cooking all day long 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Today I decided that I need to start living my Greek
heritage (that and I was asked to cook dolmades - pronounced Dol-Ma-Thes). So I asked my Grandfather (Pappou) to come over and help me make is famous pepper sauce.
This sauce is filled with natural ingredients that make it one of the tastiest and healthiest I've ever tasted, used or had the pleasure of making!
That little spat of creation took Read more:cooking
Stuntmen.la 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I just found stuntmen.la from a design site that I have linked to in my sidebar. Check it out. Throw the stuntman around for a bit of fun and enter action city after you have become an outrageous stuntman!
Tech Attack# 8 - Paint music online 1970-01-01 00:59:59 There is no attack present here other than to say that this site is addictive if you like and know music.
I was supposed to go to bed about an hour ago. I have not been able to stop messing around with this paint music online
site. This is an incredible Flash creation that can and will entertain you for hours if you enjoy music, understand your mouse and have a grasp of notes, delay and volume Read more:Paint
Old years eve 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I have always maintained that old years eve is somewhat of anticlimax. Due to this little fact I have been to and hosted house parties for the past two old years. This has yet to fail. No expectations, no queues, no terrible fools that are drunk (OK, there's always one at every party…thanks "shane-oh-no") and no disappointment. This year was no different. Party at Jen's house (thanks Jen) which
Vodacom and Samsung suck 1970-01-01 00:59:59 It has been a meager 2 weeks, 14 days or 336 hours since I purchased the Samsung
D900 and sang its praises. Now I must change my standpoint. My D900 decided to stop working today. I received a phone call and flipped the phone down and hey presto the screen went black. It stayed black, it's black now...for good.
I decided to jump in my car and head to Sandton City to the Vodacare store. I knew
Sanitation in food preparation 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Answer me this: How do the people who prepare food put on those little plastic/rubber gloves?
Don't answer that. I'll save you the trouble. We all know what gloves I'm talking about right? The ones that ensure the sanitation of the foods we ingest. The ones that the people preparing the food slip on just before that assemble your shwarma, burger or sandwich.
I was at Anat this morning waiting Read more:Sanitation
