Gold Car

World's Cheapest Car covered in gold

Last week it was a gold phone at $60k

Now we see Tata has launched its gold car costing $4.6m in a country where more than half the population lives in poverty.

Well they say the streets of heaven are gold so I guess...

Fresh Cheese Yoghurt

Song

Video clip playing on the bus this morning this morning. 

Talk about being desperate to have to sing about it. like seriously who wants to know. hmmmm. A note to the police commissioner all your efforts at combating sexual abuses and other related crimes are futile when the media is flooding the air waves with songs like these! Stupid song

Difference between here and there

The difference in the way women express themselves here.
So assertive and direct, Unprofessional and very much confrontational. I look around and quickly think how I never want to be like that and then I stop to think, was I like that?
Well I am thankful to Stee for teaching me about being diplomatic about situations around me and for SUIS for teaching me to be professional, mature and sensitive to what I say and who and how it will affect those around me. Although sometimes Jitoko does constantly remind me to think first before saying anything. I am realising right now how much I really want to think first before I say anything.
Was I really loud like that? Was I as much of a busybody as that? What about victimising?

Almost There

Got everything on my API working even the consuming part by enabling HTTP Get and Post methods, not recommended in forums but will use as old system is built on the same way; will however mention it to my boss
Only thing left to fix is the insert. Comeon.....please work!!!!!

And all I had to do for enabling the HTTp get and post was amend the webconfig...stupid!
[code]
<webServices>
   <protocols>
    <add name="HttpGet"/>
    <add name="HttpPost"/>
   </protocols>
  </webServices>
[/code]

XML API Update

Done with my xml API, well the services part of it anyway. Having problems figuring out how to consume it without using datagrids and webforms but directly through xml. Also having problems with the insert method. Can't yet figure out what is wrong with it! Gotta do everything possible to deliver it today! One way or the other!

Change Program in Church

Jitoko and I have been asked to run the Change program in church. Age group for single and above 20. Program is said to be flexible to allow more of a place for connecting rather than services. Sounds interesting. We told pastor and his wife we will pray about it and let them know about it in the middle of the week whenever they are free.
I see us as salvagers. Yes interesting concept but the more I think about it the more I am convinced that is what we have been called to do and I also think someone gave me a word of knowledge of it sometime ago just can't remember who. But I told Jitoko if we look around at the tings we've been doing lately it makes alot of sense(him more than me)Jitoko's work withe the music team, to fire them up, our trips and his committment to lovu and I guess now with Change. But my heart is with the teens, he said the same thing. So we might be telling Pastor and his wife that we will steer it back on course and then find them the leaders to run it. Couple that is not at C3 Church yet but coming soon I can feel it in my spirit!
