www.GMail.co.za is NOT Google GMail – WARNING

Posted by James on Apr 26, 2010 in google | 5 comments

This is a short notice to say that www.gmail.co.za is NOT Google’s GMail.

GMail is obviously not GMail!

You’re probably asking yourself why you care, and why I’m stating something that could be obvious?

Well, because to a LOT of people, it’s NOT obvious.

Why geniosity goes unappreciated at work!

EXCLUSIVE: Google Buys WordPress!

Posted by James on Apr 1, 2009 in interesting | 0 comments

This was obviously an attempt at an April Fool’s Joke. I must say, I’m quite impressed with my WordPress/Google Logo

I was chatting to my cousin a couple of hours ago via IM, and he let slip about the news that Automattic had sold off WordPress to Google.

He knows this because he works with Matt Mullenweg, but he obviously doesn’t want me to “reveal his name” until the news is made public (which is going to happen in a few hours time apparently). So, for the purpose of this post, let’s call him Byron.

I asked if he minded if I copied and pasted a part of our conversation about it and he said he didn’t mind because the news would be released later today anyway. (I’m guessing it has something to do with the fact that by the time anybody reads my blog, it will have been announced already).
