Welcome to our WebSite!

Welcome!

Living, as we do, far away from (most) family and (quite a few) friends, this site serves as a virtual community to keep us all (virtually) together.

In addition to the usual family picture torture chamber, there may well be something that interests non-family & not-yet-friends as well, with discussions on wine, food, and the good things in life. Also news, tools & tips, and even some culture...

Please feel free to participate. Welcome!

The review information is shown immediately below the book/DVD description. Note that there may be more than one review. Wanna try? Pop over to the Library.

On a parallel website, something new: a SOAP server with public web services. I use 'em - why not you? On my .com site (ooooohhhh....) there now exists a thing called SOAP Central. Here, I wash with good 'ol country SOAP on my web services farm. Ah - anyway, check it out. http://soap.rianvanstaden.com/

Book of the Week Posted by: admin on 06/21/2005 10:08 PM (Read: 1042)

Having profiled Noam Chomsky recently, it is only fair that we give some thought to someone who has little hesitation in taking a pot-shot at Chomsky - or anyone (everyone?) else, for that matter. I refer, of course, to Francis Wheen, and "How Mumbo-Jumbo Conquered the World". Read on....

Book of the Week Posted by: admin on 06/14/2005 08:31 PM (Read: 1085)
