Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital - Crimes against humanity
The beginning of November 2014 i suffered a nervous breakdown and was admitted to the G.J. Crookes Hospital in Scottburgh, Kwa Zulu Natal,
South Africa, after less than two weeks a girl general practitioner, Dr Ndlovo decided to transfer me to the
Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital nestled in the foothills of
the Underberg still in Kwa Zulu Natal but in the middle of nowhere. Most of the patients there where admitted for drug induced paranoia or criminal acts.
These are factual events as of 13th January 2015 which occured at the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital and G.J. Crookes Hospital, three months
prior to the 13th January 2015. I am working on the typos and grammatical errors.
On one occasion a patient was bugging me with questions and i told him to speak to the nurse. The nurse told me to "fuck off" and when i
went to the sister in charge to report this the security guard followed me and tried to prevent me from speaking to the sister in charge,
the security guard from LK Solutions Security then said to me that i am "rubbish" and he will call the other security guards to beat me
with battons.
Bathing time is African style like the majority of Africans in South Africa bath in a large plastic dish with about ten litres
of water or less. I was quite used to this as this is how i bathed at my wives, Jabu house. Above is a pic of how the basins looked like.
I feel sorry for the patients as most of them receive no visitors and i have never heard of or seen before this episode that nurses walk
around with polycop plumbing pipe about four hundred milimeters long and fifteen milimeters thick and assualt the patients. Is this
Psychiatry?
On the other hand the sisters in charge and some staff sisters where quite good to me and where very helpfull, but they have to
follow the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital rules.
Medication is handed out at 09:30 after breakfast and the patients share the same water cups to down the medication,
thank God I do not have turberculousis or some other horrible disease from sharing cups with 45 patients.
Water is sometimes not available during the
night when the water bucket and one cup is not left on the other side of the locked grill gate, never mind the fire hazard.
If there was a fire there is no chance in hell that all five wards could be open to let out the patients.
The wards, ten patients per ward are locked at night as some windows where broken with axxess to the courtyard from the passage.
At this stage I think I would be ashamed if I was any part of the medical profession, especially the Doctors
whom are aware of all this and general practitioners who treat psych patients as there is currently no psychiatrist
in the Hospital.
Stephen Fry (a BBC presenter) based in London AFAIK has experienced mental health problems for much of his life. I am sure he did not
receive the treatment i received in Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital, not for the life of my can i still phathom that Psychiatric patients are
treated with assualt and abuse as part of there treatment to become well again even thought most of the patients are in the
Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital are there for drug induced psychosis where they stabbed or assualted someone.
The Zulu language is spoken most of the time and i don't have a clue what is going on especially at the twice daily forced prayer
sessions but i have to join in anyway. Jabu my wife is a Zulu girl yet i only understand a bit of Zulu, like "faga lo makulu mthondo kona la ingquza". Jabu is quite religious
so i don't have anything against religion if i at least i could understand the singing and chanting.
I think it's disgusting that South Africa receives billions of ZAR in medical grants from overseas for this kind of treatment and never mind the theft.
I had a terrible summer flu for two weeks and only realized later that the roll on deodrant shared by forty five patients was for woman.
The roll on ordered for the patients at the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital is stolen by someone working in the Hospital for there own
use and most of the nursing staff are woman, can't figure out the theft bit as the nursing staff have three to eight thousand ZAR
smart phones and drive new 150 000 ZAR plus motor vechicles.
I was treated slightly better than the rest of the patients because i am Caucasian, and like i typed before the only Caucasian within
miles of the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital. I hope someone takes notice of this part of my book so my African friends (patients)
can receive better treatment instead of being assaulted with battons, high heels and plumbing pipe.
I actually fear for my life at Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital, the ward where i am now is called Male Block Two. And one of the patients
in this ward is some kind of martial arts expert. On my arrival he had to show off his moves whist we where waiting to be counted.
(Counting of patients involves the patients sitting for one hour doing nothing waiting the shift to change and then be counted.) From
time to time this "martial arts patient" goes a bit nuts especially on the tobacco subject like most other patients, 70% of the patients.
Pure joy knowing i can be assaulted or worse anytime for a small amount of tobacco or food.
The tobacco saga occurs with all new patients and their tobacco
or food is quickly consumed in a few hours. Watching lions, hyenas or vultures on TV or in real life on a kill can give a good picture of the food and
tobacco episodes, meaning the food and tobacco brought by visitors to the patients.
Tobacco smoke contains many harmful chemicals such as carbon monoxide, cyanide, nicotine and tar, which cause disease and death. Non-smokers and ex-smokers on average, live longer and are healthier than smokers. For more information call +27117203145
I rather enjoy this in the pic above than the menu below
South Africa is one of the few countries in the world where one can receive treatment for under $3 but this kind of treatment i don't
ne ed and i am not the only patient who complains about abuse and assault. Most of the African patients and there families live in the
sticks
cks so to whom will they report all this to. I love South Africa and South Africans but this is really the pits.
I noticed many of the patients at the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital take a drug called Risperidone, a horrible piece of work where sixty
sixty percentage of males suffer from erectile dysfunction when taking Risperidone, i wonder if the "mental patients" (that's what they are
referred to as by the staff) actually have a choice whether to have erectile dysfunction or not, i bet my bottom dollar and it's a fact
that no patient is informed of the side effects of the medication they are taking, why should us "mental patients" be informed or have
the right to know of side effects, we are the scum of the earth, maybe Government Psychiatry gets it's "info manual" from the holocast.
I once researched Risperidone for days on the internet in 2012 and wow what negative reviews. Some of the patients are so spaced
out on prescription drugs they sleep most of the day to keep them calm.
I learned a whole lot of new Zulu words at Umzimkulu psych hospital like, ingquza, masende and bhebha to the disapproval of Jabu.
Don't try this at home or anywhere else and i do not condone this but it seems that according to Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital,
violence is cool and condoned. As long as you sort out your frustrations with batons,
polycop plumbers pipe, high heels, a strawberry jam sandwich and mind bending, muscle spasm causing injections.
I am upset now very upset. How on earth could Dr Ndlovo from G.J. Crookes transfer me from a cage full of pigeons to a cage full of vipers
and ruin me financially. If i had been discharged from G.J. Crookes i would have been able to make up my payments.
Surely if a patient is so psychotic they would be transferred on day one or two. Yet according to my mother: a security guard impersonating
a principal psychiatrist, informed my mother that "they need the beds" which is also not true as there where two empty beds in the ward and G2 is also used for psych patients.
I must have been in a very bad state of mind as one night sister took my blood pressure nightly and allowed me to take her blood pressure
on numerous occasions. Imagine that some cleaners and staff nurses allowed me to choose and play songs on there smart phones.
Ok i hope this paragraph does not get anyone into trouble but i watched the most fantastic game of soccer with the night staff
and security guards one Wednesday night. I stand corrected i was at G.J. Crookes longer than 72 hours as i now remember there
was no soccer game the next Wednesday for some or other reason whilst i was at G.J. Crookes Hospital.
Talking about "joints", marijuana is freely available at the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital. I found this out when a patient asked me for a light and
my bodyguard and best African friend John, told me not to smoke from that "joint" as it contains marijuana. Mary jane is supposed to induce paranoia in mentally ill patients so WTF.
Quite educating this business. I found out that one can crush and smoke pain killers as another room mate who slept opposite me did.
Maybe that's why some nurses refused to hand out pain killers without a Doctor's script. So if you have a splitting headache in the
afternoon one might obtain some pain killers the next day if lucky. I stay away from pain killers if possible but with my buttock
injury from being assaulted and my two week summer cold i was popping pain killer's like crazy. Not thanks to the female Doctor
whom i requested pain killers at the nurses station and she did not write them up the first time.
Come to think of it my best African friend went on his knees to talk to this female Doctor at the nurses station. Not that they where married
but i was under the impression that Zulu girls serve food on their knees to their husbands. And he was nowhere near psychotic.
To get back to the drugs story, on one occasion i received a phone call in the injection room and there was this newly admitted coloured chap
trying to open the medicine trolly. (He also received the customery tobacco treatment on arrival.) A few days later he and the guy who
smoked the pain killers managed to steal some drugs from the medicine trolly. They received the baton treatment for their troubles.
The assaulting of patients continues to baffle me as i was under the impression that violence in psychiatry was meant to be discouraged
(never mind frowned upon) and guys that where in private and most state hospitals, that i have communicated with where never assaulted.
Thank God i never witnessed any assault the first time i was admitted at G.J. Crookes Hospital unlike Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital.
On my move from one section to the next at Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital i lost my mountain view bed but was soon invited to another
ward closer to the windows by two patients, the alterior motives you guess it, tobacco. The first ward or section i was in
(gets a bit confusing this ward business) but anyhow i had a lovely view of the foothills of the Underberg mountains but knew this
stunning view of the mountains and a village which was part of Umzimkulu village would not last and soon became quite mudane.
Being an outdoor lover i never dreamt magestic mountains could become so boring.
So much agro and fustration as the patients where not allowed out the wards for walks. In any of the three wards bar one occasion.
Maybe the patients would try to escape, wow why on earth would anyone want to escape. The one occasion sixteen patients where allowed to go
for a walk outside was for a haircut. I remember that day very well. I was sitting in the courtyard and a female nurse starting picking out patients
for a haircut. She called me out and i said no thanks. I did not want my hair to be cut bald as some Africans cut their hair. My blood really boiled
and when the sixteen patients where about to get on the way for hair cuts i wanted to go with to have my beard trimmed off. The female nurse
then changed her mind and said that i could not go at all. Talk about being petty.
I might be making a big issue of the tobacco story but that was the only occupational therapy there was at the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital and
when the patients received their monthly disability grant or visitors brought tobacco the patients who smoked, smoked non stop almost till all their
tobacco was finished in two or three days. Might as well make a "meal" of it when you have it. I was rather more cautious and tried to ration my tobacco
till Jabu came to visit me. For every one hundred grams of tobacco i received, i recon i smoked fifty grams and the other fifty grams was for "bodyguard"
and sharing of tobacco fees.
Ninety five percent of the patients smoked and a large percentage never smoked before but only smoked at the Umzimkulu to pass the time and have
something to occupy themselves with, the youngsters under 28 years of age or so would hide there smoking habits from their mothers or family when they came to visit them.
The patients make their own beds in the morning's. The nurses then come along and make the beds again. I found out only one blanket per
patient is permitted during the summer months. Allegedly June and July the coldest months, really cold in the Underberg as I found out first
hand on some of our vacations in the Drakensberg, two blankets are allowed. One or two degrees celsius (34 F) outside in winter at late night
and early morning it gets really cold without a heater in the bedroom wherever you might be in a hotel or the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital.
The patients ward windows are not triple glazed but thinking back the glass is 15mm thick so that must help with the cold a wee bit.
How dare the Sisters, nurses (male and female) and security guards force the patients to pray and dance around in a circle singing Zulu religious
songs after the way some of them treat the patients, two faced religious attitudes, i am sure it is written somewhere: abuse, assault,
degrade ones dignity, humiliate and tomorrow you will be forgiven. I took no part in these prayer "meeting's" other than i was forced to
stand. And my last morning at Umzimkulu Psych Hospital i did go around in circles chanting something at the insistence of one of
the nurses just to please her and not have hassles on my last day.
Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
On that day many will say to me, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty
works in your name? And then will I declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness. Matthew 7:21-23
I used to be quite a self religious person but i have lost my respect for God due to this hospital stay and psychological after effects, really too much is
too much.
I think Stephen Fry is correct with his viewpoint on God. ''The quicker you forget about Him, your life will change for the better"
This is the final nail in the coffin between God and i and it really hurts me to loose faith after so many years, but this is really it, i have had
enough. What i have gone through in my life is a fraction of some of the pain and suffering others go or have gone through but i have
had enough of this blatant two faced religious attitudes.
And it gets even better, on the 18th Febuary 2015, another anniversary, my birthday, my
The reason i was sent from G.J. Crookes Hospital in Scottburgh, South Africa to the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital was that Doctor Ndlovo
filled up a bath and gave me a teaspoon, cup and bucket and asked me to empty the bath, i choose the bucket, she asked me whether i would
like a bed by the window in the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital as normal people would pull the bath plug. Just thought i would ad a bit
of humour, this did not actually happen but one never knows, many things said in jest could be true.
Crimes against humanity, as defined by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Explanatory
Memorandum, "are particularly
odious offences in that they constitute a serious attack on human dignity or grave humiliation or a degradation
of human beings, they really fucked me up at Umzimkulu.
On arrival at the Ethembeni ward i was beaten up by male staff nurses, hit with solid punches to my back for no
apparent reason. Must be another lesson they will never forget. I was not that psychotic to imagine that.
As usual the security guards are in charge of the ward(s), to be a security guard at a government
hospital the security guard has to first go to university for three years at least, in any faculty,
the security guards also have to be au faut with beating up one patient, eight against one. Which i witnessed
with my own eyes at G2 and at Umzimkulu.
In the apartheid days i would have been killed for going out with an African girl or marrying one. By the Africans and not the apartheid security police, according to one of the staff nurses at Umzimkulu Psych Hospital.
To top it all on my last out patient visit to G.J. Crookes in May 2016 there was no psychiatrist working in
the Hospital
and i was seen to by a GP. Hopefully this has changed by now, psychiatrists might as well not study for a few years
longer if a GP can do the shrinks job which they cannot.
I obtain a rash from the meds i take but was refused by the GP in May 2016 for a script for Persivate
ointment, she informed me "i must go upstairs" and wait another three hours in the queue to see another doctor.
Seriously if herbal meds where strong enough for my condition i would be taking them and not these shit meds that
give me erectile dysfunction and Cialis costs an arm and a leg which i cannot afford even though there are
herbal alternatives
at one third of the price which work just as well.
It was rather cold on a motorcycle in May 2016 and i arrived at G.J. Crooks at round 8:00 by the time i
obtained my file it was 09:00,
i waited till 12:00 to see the GP at the psych clinic. The total cost for the consultation and meds supply
for six months is one and one half USD (twenty ZAR) so can't complain there.
May month 2020 I noticed they are demolishing the psychc clinic, the new clinic will be in the main building at G.J. Crookes AFAIK, reception said I should ask security where it is. I found out on the 12th of August 2020 that I was incorrect, the old physc clinic had a nice garden overlooking the R102, I used to eat my sandwiches and have a smoke whilst I waited for five hours to see the Doctor. Now the new psyhc clinic is in a dreary old concrete part of the old part of G.J. Crookes hospital where one sits in a corridor exposed to the elements, fuck. Mama whom does not get treated correctly for, my brother and I all suffer from one of the many forms of bipolar, I have a brother who is a sisi.
Then a new kernel was up for PCLinuxOS and all hell broke loose. Upon boot X was fucked. I tried with drakconf in a terminal to adjust the display and keyboard which did not work, I choose the "happy hacking keyboard" and X came up but on reboot nothing, so I went back to the old stock kernel and PCLinuxOS worked in a fassion. I got pissed off and installed Fedora KDE Plasma spin, it worked on my spare partition till I updated. Once again no X with the new kernel only X grafted with the old stock kernel and still does so I got really pissed off and ....
The others are mostly forks of the above except Arch which i have not tried. but now I have (September 2020).
20/08/2020 CAT 10:30 Jabu and I go to her best friends mothers funeral. Miss V. Was supposed to be 19C but was a scorcher 25C. The ANC grated the dirt road to the funeral and filled up Miss V's water tank, Mostly in isiZulu but the pastor did preach once in English. All I seem to go to is funerals except my brothers wedding which was a grand affair at Zimbali in April 2019 All is going well with Mageia Beta 1, I had to do a "dnf update" today as the control center keep giving me a python error. New kernel for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS all went smoothly and PCLinuxOS I am still on my stock kernel as my machine does not like the new kernels. I have given up trying to get the new kernels to work. Windows 10 users keep reporting BSOD so I am wary of updating Windows 10. But at 04:01 I started to update Windows 10 anyway and I finished the September 8th update 2020 at 05:56. All went smoothly just took two hours and I like to watch the update running. On my Celeron every thing happens very slowly in Windows 10. Debian Buster 10 does not have many updates and no new kernel in a long time, I don't know if that is right. Just how stable can it be, I get an update once every three days. 13/09/2020 Dolphin crashed on Debs Buster 10 after I copied large folders.
26/09/2020 07:11 CAT Saturday Slept like a baby. Johan's biker friends who have come for the weekend are revving their bikes, I love the sound of bikes revving. I am used to it at the bike rallies I used to go to, I have many badges, especially from the Rhino rally, They don't talk to me but I told them to rev their bikes to 11 000 RPM. Clive stole my MCP badge when he was a tenant here for two months, I only have a pic of it. Wow I slept well. From 21:50 last night till 06:15 this morning. what happens at the rally stays at the rally, but we had great fun, getting pissed, strip shows, camping and a bit of fighting. I love camping and wish I had a car so I could take Jabu camping to the Drakensberg during the summer, winter it's freezing cold. I have been camping to the Drakensberg many times as well as time share. Jabu and I went to the Underberg for time share in 2012 in the winter when it was freezing cold. At Umzimkhulu psychc hospital the patients told me they only get two thin blankets during the winter and it gets to -6 C there. Umzimkulu is in the Underberg. Like I said I have had a good life till end 2013. I don't drink since 2003. Only one beer every three months or so, I prefer my blend of Turkish coffee, which a Pole taught me to brew in 1992. A big spoon of filter coffee in a big mug brewed for three minutes ad sugar and milk to taste. Now that there are renovations going on in Mama's house planned and supervised by me I feel much better. Anyway Johan our buurman turned out to be a real poes and Mama is always taking his trash of our pavement and putting it on his pavement every Tuesday as she does not want the monkeys and K9's to rip apart his trash onto her pavement which she rakes. Johan came here with his millions from Randfontein and thinks he can take over. Pity we don't have a good buurmense like Mr R and Miss R who used to stay in Johan's house before, we used to get on so well and they where also Afrikankers. Our house was built first in the 70's and Johan's house was built much later so he can get fucked. It's not my fault our bedroom windows looks over straight at his verandah and braai area. The guy who designed his house should of thought about it first. I asked Johan the other week if he would rather be friends and all he said was "what". So there you have it we have to live with nervous tension with our buurman. It's supposed to piss down with rain today but there are hardly any clouds and the sun is shinning, maybe I will go for a swim later. My IBS has come right almost and I am having craps more frequently, in fact I had one just now after breakfast at 07:35. Amazing how this constipation works. I am quite pissed off with the ankel cramps and am only taking 1.5 mg of Risperdal at night instead of 2mg bd of which GJC pharmacy did not have stock anyway. We will see how it goes. I used to take 3mg of Risperdal at night. My friend who is a pharmacist from Kentucky USA said I should reduce my meds little by little. I have plenty of Risperdal in stock. 66% of men who take Risperdal get ED. Jabu is quite fed up with my ED. These Rizla machince rolled fags I have been smoking since 2003 are way to strong and as from yesterday I am going to smoke factory fags. Ten years ago there where pills on the market one could take to stop smoking but bipolar folks could not take them as they would go manic. I need to enquire with my Doctor if there is anything on the market now which bipolar folks can take but they are S5 and cost 2000 Rand for a three month course. 08:52 I am not used to writing my book during the day, Mama is still fast asleep which is good, she watches the news channels till 02:00/03:00. I am waiting for the much needed rain. My pool is already full of leaves. Lucky I have some HTH from last summer, my pool takes 2300 litres, it's the best pool I ever had if the monkeys don't fuck it up. Next week I am planning on painting the kitchen cub boards if it does not rain too heavy as Siphokazi cannot cross the river to come to work. Like I said we are all praying for rain. Anyway God bless, I will upload now 09:45 Oh yes addendum All is going well with Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta touch wood, I had a few updates this morning, It's the first thing I check, Mangero 20.1 is on standby if Ubuntu fucks out. I can't wait till 22nd October when Ubuntu Linux 20.10 is final. I am really enjoying Ubuntu after being an RPM guy for so long, but I have no choice as only Ubuntu and Mangero work on my S145. Lets hope the final release of Mageia 8 has the right kernel and I will be able to install dkms git and build essentials. I read a clip that Lenovo is bring out a whole lot of machines with Ubuntu 20.04 installed but not my S145 for sure. I need to boot into Windows 10 soon and see if there is a BIOS update but the BIOS updates on my 250 G5 used to fuck up my boot sequence and only Ubuntu saved the day. 09:54 It's 13:22 now and it's getting cold, maybe the rain will come soon, Mama has gone to the shops and I am cooking the rice. 22:05 slight angina, took disprin and it went away. Will go for ECG this week.
30/09/2020 04:32 CAT Wednesday My A20 02:00 alarm did not wake me. Only the Cubot Manito wakes me. Am listening to Mass. Siphokazi sanded the kitchen cubboards yesterday and started to paint, she is coming back to finish today. Mama is having guests for lunch so it will be a bit tricky. Praise be to Jesus Christ another month is almost over in this covid-19 world. We are at lockdown level one, hardly anyone wears their masks anyway. 05:50 Looks like it's going to be a cloudy day and I did the laundry last night. Forecast is moya. A lot of moya. The laundry should dry, that's my job, the laundry and dishwasher. Last night I had elbow pain and this morning I have as well. It's not from sleeping on the couch as I sleep on my left side and my right elbow is more painful. I drink 1.5 litres of fluid a day as recommended by the Minster of Health. I am enjoying Windows 10 on my S145 yet I see the fan goes off often even when idle. HWMonitor goes mad. I will reboot after a few days into Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta and should have a nice lot of updates. I will never have a Joomla website again, It's beyond the scope of my knowledge to restore when hacked especially when I am psychotic. A HTML website like this I can restore in a few hours from my backups on my flash drives. I am used to my 250 G5 Celeron which does not have a fan. I suppose you wondering how it is possible that I receive a 350 Rand unemployment grant when I have all this hardware. Well the wild black cat has brung me good luck, she comes every day to the door and walks through the house sometimes. I feed the black cat every day. When I was penny less, Mr R gave a large donation and that started the ball rolling. Since then funds have just rolled in. It feels better not having to live day by day. So Mama and I can now afford to do renovations a bit to make the house a bit nicer to live in. We can't agree on the electrics though. Mama has something in her head about the roof when the electrics are more important, like I said thanks to Kwela Electrical of Pennington there are 26 points of non compliance to make good. Jabu went off to work at 07:20 without saying goodbye, Siphokazi arrived at 07:02. I have yet to find out what Jabu's pluck was this morning. Time to prepare my meds for 08:00. Jabu said that I told her not too talk loud to Siphokazi as I did not want them to wake Mama so Jabu got pissed off. Well what a small world we live in, memories memories, on the 28/09/202 Mama purchased from Mrs B of Secondchances in Pennington some picture frames, a dinning room chair (which I do not want and there is no space for) and a top for Xmas for Jabu. The top is suitable for a ninety year old. I Whatsapp Mrs B if she could deliver this morning and no reply. This is the same Mrs B that in March 2016 when my brother and Mama put the house on sale, I called to have a look which furniture she could buy from me. She sent George instead, another one of those with "i am so blessed" all over his truck so is Mr B's profile pic on WhatsApp to purchase my tools. George had a look at my tools and said he will come back to me with a price. He came back and said he could take all the tools and see what he can get for them. I thought fuck the house will sell quickly so I let George take my tools. The fucker came back with 1600 Rand for 20 000 Rand, more like 30 000 Rand worth of tools. I paid 60 Rand for a Stanley knife the other day. I must say George came back for some 80-200mm crimpers and gave me 200 Rand, they where new. I still have my megger and 240/380 volt tester. I was just discharged from hospital in January 2016 and was quite vunlerable. Mr C paid me a good price for my grinder and electrical spares which I need now to finish the electrics. I kept one 6 foot step ladder and my electrical tools. What the fuck, I think I will slowly fix the 26 points myself. Just need to purchase a strong rechargeable LED light as the DB is in a dark cubboard. Small world, I wonder what is Mrs B's pluck now, she has Mama's 680 Rand but does not deliver the goods. Siphokazi finished painting the kitchen cubboards and touched up where she had made a fuck up. At 12:08 Mama's quests arrived and they had lunch and are chatting, I am yet to eat today. Jabu said she will cook me chicken feet and dumplings. It turns out Mama had cooked for us. 14:50 The guests departed at 15:27 and in the meantime the monkeys climbed into Mama's bedroom up a gutter 2000 mm up. Looking for something to eat. I chased them away and they concentrated on getting into the open window of a car. At 15:47 Mrs B delivered the chair, top and frames after I complained to Mrs P her good friend. If only Mrs B had answered my Whatsapp early this morning which she read there would not be all this shit. Jabu has gone to sleep (21:40), I am the kiss and hug type of guy. Windows 10 is more responsive than Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta, I seemed to have a lag as I type in 20.10 Beta. What happened to my magazines during this covid-19, no more of my fav mag. I am blessed (now here I go) with this new machine. I hope it last me at least ten years like my previous laptops or more. As long as Gnome and KDE Plasma do not become too bloated. I would like to upgrade to 16 Gigs of RAM by a specialist so I don't loose the warranty. My swap is 16 on Ubuntu, Mangero and PCLinuxOS, I don't know how the PGP update signature in Mangero 20.1 could fuck out in less than ten days and four days of use, bullshit OS. I spent 90 minutes trying to fix it and that's enough, goodbye Mangero 20.1. Arch sucks. Fucking piece of shit worked so well in the begining. True as fuck if Mageia 8 final does not work on this machine I will crack. I always have Windows 10 if Microsoft does not make a fuck up with there updates, they should not, I paid a lot of bucks for Windows 10 unlike the rest, only data costs to download Linux OS and time. Well folks my clock has changed these last few days it's 22:00 exactly now and I am sitting on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta. Let me open the window it"s getting a bit stuffy in here. Telkom fucked up everything when they pulled out of Pennington with no prior notice so we don't have ADSL but they are laying a fibre cable, hope it gets to us. I pay a fortune in data costs. 23:20 I am sitting and watching "adult only XXX" a lot of twirking and boobs music videos when I think let me try Mangero 20.10 one last time and choose only one mirror. Friday 15:45 Mama goes to see the incompetent Doctor Vach at his rooms in Pennington who has been treating Mama for bipolar disorder since March 2012 without success. I informed his wife (who is a Sister there) that Mama is mlidly manic. She came back with Mr P and they say he says he will pick up Mama on Saturday morning to go to Scottburgh for a break. Mama takes her book of life with her. They end up going to SAPS Scottburgh, where the Captain advices Mama to get a protection order against Jabu. Saturday night Mr P who is a pastor come to visit us and we get nowhere after three hours. Mama wants Jabu out of the house after the physical fight they had which Mama started. Mama belongs in a physc ward. Monday Mr P and Mama are going again to Scottburgh, to see the police. Mama keeps threating to close her bank account so she might go to see the bank manager. She is totally fucked in the head. Taking adive from an idiot Like Vach. The Doctors also thought it would be best she move in to Summerhill Lodge and look what it turned out to be, I was right again. Cost my family member 350 000 ZAR the Sumerhill lodge stay over two years. Jabu leaves tomorrow Sunday for iNkompo, I will follow her once parking is found for my car as the road up to her mother's house is inaccesible by car. I am quite used to Mama being violent when she is manic so I took no notice of them fighting but in the end tried to separate them. We will see what the result of Monday will be. I have not lost my wife Jabu yet but I will loose my mother. I am her caregiver and she cannot afford a paid caregiver. I have lived with my mother since 2006 and I decide when she is manic or not, not some Doctor who consults with her for twenty minutes. I fell so sorry for Mama she does not know what she is doing. I have basically two choices, one is to separate from Jabu and stay with my frail disabled mother who will be eighty on the 8th of April or leave her here and go with Jabu. Mama cannot afford a caregiver on her pension. Shit choice. I love both Mama and Jabu. Maybe things will cool down till Monday but I don't like Mr P intefering even if he is a pastor. He runs a shuttle serivice that's why he got involved (whilst driving her to Vach), 28/03/2021 04:12 SAST, enough of this shit. Lord please guide me through this difficult time, the pastor said I am selfish. Jabu's eviction under lockdown level one will make my aunt Ela in Warsaw very happy, the bitch, as well as some relatives in London. Mother fucker son of a bitch fucked up our Easter, we had bought fish for Good Friday and ham for Easter Sunday. We where planning on buying a Texan steak or rump at the local store (which has a very good butchery) for Easter Sunday as well. What part of "Mama is moderatly manic" did Doctor Vach's wife not understand. I wonder what the bible says about breaking up someones marriage. My wife Jabu is going to bath in a basin now twice a day you mother fucking cunt. With the nearest tap 850 meters away. Like I had to bath in Umzimkulu physc hospital in ward one. Jabu now has to walk from the taxi stop in dense sugar cane, where she can be raped or murdered At 15:28 we packed Jabu's belongings into the truck hugged and kissed, took photo's, I cried as we bid each other farewell and she departed for her mothers house. At 15:44 she was at her mother's house. I will miss you Jabu and I love you very much. Yet we will meet often once I get my car back from the garage. iNkompo is only five clicks away but I don't have my TSR anymore so I can't visit. The Elantra will not make it up the rain ravaged dirt road through the sugar cane. oops it;s 00:23... Love you Jabu and miss you I am lying on the couch half asleep when I hear a noise, Mama came into the dining room from the kitchen and looks like she is chocking, I give her the heimlich maneuver, she sits on the dining room chair and then falls hard on the floor smacking her right temple. I administer CPR for fifteen minutes but she is gone, Mama passed away in my arms, may your soul rest in peace Mama, love you. In Johannesburg I lived in Mama's house since Tata passed away in March 2006. Mama did everything for me. She gave me a roof over my head and fed me and helped me with AMPPOL IT Linux CD's & DVD's by delivering to the post office. We where on very good terms when she was not manic. Till her dying day Mama denied that she suffered from bipolar mood disorder. I have mixed feelings about my beloved Mama right now as she was manic the last three months. Normally she was such a kind and gentle soul. Even though the injection did help on the 02/04/2021. I am sad but Mama suffered such great pain from her fractured humerus op the last almost two years and her bladder problem that maybe it's better that she is with Jesus now. Mama enjoyed chatting and so did I, I hope there is BBC in heaven, she loved to watch that. Can you believe it at my age she still used to tuck me in to bed. When she stayed at Summerhill Lodge I used to visit her on my TSR and we would walk to the Scottburgh beach and sit and enjoy the sun. Sometimes we used to go for coffee in Scott street. Mama battled a bit walking up the steep hill from the beach back to Scott street. She knew all the shop owners in Scott street and got in trouble for feeding the homeless. Mama was an afternoon person and would leave for the post office at 14:00 in Johannesburg. AMPPOL IT Linux CD's & DVD's was doing well then. We came to Pennington with no debt. I will miss you so much Mama, God bless you for all that you have done for me in your living years. Votela ANC mhlaka 1st November 2021, nali ivoti lami
This book was first typed on a Centrino Duo then a Celeron N3060 and now a Lenovo S145 i5 with ADSL then Cubot Manito and Samsung A20.
For example it took my wife, Jabu and i to return home on the 14/01/2015
seven hours by four taxis and we missed the last taxi as it was late and we had to walk for one and one half hour up a hill to get home,
we arrived after sunset. The non scenic route takes one and one half hours by a low level flying sixteen seater Quantum ambulance transporter.
To top it all i have to go back to the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital for more evaluation by a general practitioner as
there currently is no psychiatrist at the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital and ones fate is decided by a general practionioner. Did you see the movie Rwanda,
well what is to
follow is very similar. I was the only Caucasian patient in the two wings of the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital amongst forty five Africans.
What a nightmare, i was assaulted by an psychotic patient who tried to steal my breakfast, six slices of bread with a bit of
butter and tea.
i limped for two weeks after this incident with terrible pain in my left buttock. Patients who assault other patients are hit with batons
by the security guards and then given Clopixol Acuphase injections to knock them for a few days. The patients fight and hit each other for
tobacco especially when the tobbacco runs out and i m the only one who has tobacco. It is impossible to enjoy a hand rolled cigarette by
oneself as i was surrounded by twenty psychotic or semi psychotic patients each and every time demanding two pulls of my fag and the
patients act as if its there right to my tobacco. Never mind food or gifts received from visitors, one has to eat what one receives
at the nursing sisters station or all the food will be taken over by the patients.
What a relief to find out that prison is worse than the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital from two of the patients who actually where in prison,
i am being a bit salcastic in this sentence.
The patients spend the whole day in a closed courtyard, fifteen by twenty meters and urinate in one corner of the courtyard as the patients are
not allowed to go inside the wards to urinate during the day. The stench of urine is unbearable in that corner of the courtyard unless
it rains and the urine washes away into the drain. On one night the urinal was blocked inside the ward and the urinal overflowed with
urine for three days. More stench and those patients without shoes walked in the urine. The toilets do not work and faeces build
up till someone flushes the toilet with a bucket, most nauseating.
I was unable to pay my bills as i was in the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital and G.J. Crookes Hospital,
joy to the world, i now have
"hundreds" of debt collector companies after me and my credit rating has dropped to zero. Of course no shrink, G.P., sister, nurse nor social worker will help me out with my debt but someone was very eagar to put me away to Umzimkulu psych hospital because of their grave faux pas. The social worker at the Umzimkulu Psychiatric
Hospital has ninety patients in the queue and i was lucky to see the general practionioner on the 13/01/2015 as he was still busy
attending to patients from November 2014. This frightens me as i may wait for weeks to see the general practionioner on my return.
I don't know anymore what is the official language of South Africa but the medication i took home on my leave of absence, the instructions
where in Zulu.
Above is a pic of an example of the small pieces of tobacco some patients would gather for hours to roll one fag using a newspaper as rolling paper
Patients are admitted to Male Block One where 80% of the patients are psychotic, 40% from actually been mentally ill and the rest mostly drug induced pyschosis or being sent to Umzimkulu for some criminal act. Smoking of tobacco is allowed in the ward. Sorry to burst your bubble, i was never once tested positive for mary jane nor coke nor any other magic mushroom. Then the transition to
Male Block Two where smoking tobacco is also allowed. Male Block Three, i dread to go there, there is absolutly no smoking allowed and
i have been smoking tobacco for thirty five years. I had a small nervous breakdown on admittance to Male Block One and then to Male
Block Two. Each transition is like some kind of initiation ceremony where the patients test to see if they can obtain tobacco and food
out of me. One patient actually sits on my bed up to and hour waiting for me to light up as he figures what's mine is his. Not all the
patients are like this thank God and i recon i have made a few friends.
No need to complain, wow at G.J. Crookes Hospital, the food was better, at least different kinds of porridge for breakfast and an egg and
a variety of meat and veggies for lunch. Don't understand why all the Government food dished out is not standard
During my stay at the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital, i observed the finer art of theft, assualt by LK Security Solutions on patients, i
pity the guy (patient) whom escaped from the ajoining ward, his screams could be heard miles away whilst the patient was beat with batons.
No respect for patients, i once informed one of the staff members that the burglar bars put up on one window had jaggered steel edges and
could hurt someone so the staff member said "let them". There is no outbound communication to the outside world for most of the African
patients, if one asks a nurse to send an sms the answer is "battery flat" or "no airtime, mean while the nurses sit using WhatsApp the whole day.
Ok it would be a bit heavy if 45 patients used the nurses phone, even though i offered to pay, the nurses could at least answer truthfully and inform the
patients that cell phone calls are allowed. The nurses are a bunch of liars and have the cheek to pray twice a day with the patients. If
a patient ask a nurse for something the answer is more likely to be "kusasa" (tomorrow). I can understand spending twelve hours a day
for five days shift with psychotic patients is a bit taxing but the staff nurses opted for this job and i think that the patients at the
Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital could be treated with dignity and more humanly.
Some of the African patients where so desperate for tobacco they would collect the tiny pieces of loose tobacco from the floor and when there was
enough tobacco they would roll a "joint" in a manner of speaking.
Doc e, arranged that i do not have to go back to the Umzimkulu Psychiatric Hospital, thank you very much for that.
I prefer and so do all of us, a restroom like in the pic above and not a restroom overflowing with shit and piss
I acquired two "bodyguards" in Male block one after my tobacco was stolen off my person whilst i was lying down in the morning sunshine on the tiled
section of the courtyard floor. My one bodyguard and friend (John was his name) even himself mentioned that it was stressful holding onto my tobacco and rolling "joints" for me.
The other bodyguard had been in the ward for many months and the other African patients where a bit wary of him. He would make sure that
the other African patients stayed away whilst the tobacco was rolled mostly using my own purchased paper or if that ran out then newspaper.
Best to choose the meanest mother fuckers as your friends in a place like this, which works on occassions.
Crimes against humanity, as defined by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Explanatory
Memorandum, "are particularly
odious offences in that they constitute a serious attack on human dignity or grave humiliation or a degradation
of human beings.
On a brighter side, Xmas day we spent at the beach and had supper at the mall thanks to my sister whom arranged a pass out. It was nice to
eat out with my family and especially my wife at one of the restaurants. My sister and i also spent a day at the beach
amongst the throng of holiday makers on a previous occasion.
An African lady was locked up in the seclusion room for a few days and all she did was scream at the
top of her voice, non stop. She was there for at least one week, strange that she was not transferred to Umzimkhulu.
I think I rather be in a psych ward at G.J. Crookes Hospital (but not Umzimkhulu) than at the oncology ward
if i had to choose illnesses. I am so blessed, touch wood not to have any physical illness other than
erectile dysfunction which is a cause of the meds i swallow religiously. No joy to those guys whom suffer
from blood pressure hassles as well, ED is also part of their game. Two doctors suggested i take Cialis, fuck that i need a boner on demand not having to wait one hour before i can get hard on and stress does not help either, i can take 2000 mg Cialis and will not get it up if i am stressed out.
Just like in Ward one at Umzimkulu Psych Hospital the patients bath in a
basin to make them feel really at home. 70% of South Africans bath in a basin at night or during the day with a
kettle of hot water or boiled water on a fire. In the country where i come from, after WWII and still into the
fifties, ditto for some.
G2 ward at G.J. Crookes had five showers and as i mentioned previously Ethembeni ward had one scalding hot
water supply from the bath. A thermostat costs around 250 ZAR, (12 USD). The thermostat was either set on boiling point so 10 patients could have hot water or some dick head needed to replace the thermostat, but who the fuck am i to talk being a former electrician of sixteen years. Maintenance could at least install another water heater back to back at ethembeni after spending millions of ZAR revamping G.J. Crookes Hospital where the reception area is tops and so is the pharmacy.
Spot of bad luck in the South Coast for me with my manic episodes spiking due to what i thought was the change in altitude but i will never know as there is only a twenty minute if that consultation with a GP or shrink per out patient session at the G.J Crookes Hospital.
My first boxed set of the Linux OS was Red Hat 6.1 around 2002. I then used Red Hat 7.0 through to Red Hat, 7.3 was a great release. Or could it be 1999/2000. I later went over to Fedora Core and then at Fedora Core 2 to Mandrake Linux because my video card would not work on Fedora Core 2. And then Mandriva. I miss the Johannesburg thunderstorms where from my SOHO i could see the bad weather coming from the south and would unplug every computer even though i had UPSes. No such thunderstorms in Pennington.
Ubuntu Linux
Ubuntu Linux was born in 2005 and slowly over the years pushed out Mandriva Linux which i think Mandriva/Mageia Linux used to be the best OS around. I am a RPM guy. Ubuntu Linux has come a long way since i tried 5.05 i think it was. I recommend Ubuntu Linux for a start up Linux if you are new to Linux. 6.06 will only work on my 200? Semptron laptop. So i use the CD version of AntiX on my 2006 laptop with a Septrom processor. All my laptops i purchased in Johannesburg are still intact. My two desktop machines have died.
Mageia Linux
Mandriva and then Mageia used to be my favourite and i am still lost without them. I had to leave Mageia 6 as X kept freezing my laptop early 2018 after grafting fine since it's release in July 2017. It's very easy to kill X in Mageia if it's acting up. I was most likely been hacked because of this book.
I was very sorry to have to leave Mageia 6 even though i still play around with it on Virtualbox. I still have Mageia 5 installed on my mothballed Centrino. Which is not much use as the core temp goes to 75 C when idle and the screen has packed up.
Debian Linux
At Johannesburg on one of my machines i used to use Debian Linux as a file server and burning server.
I used Mandriva as my desktop.
Today instead of Mageia 6 KDE Plasma i use Debian Linux KDE Plasma as well as PCLinuxOS.
Since Buster was released i have gone back to using Mageia 7, i fucked up my Debian installation. Lucky i had a separate /home directory. Ubuntu was no hassle to upgrade from 18.04 to 19.04 to 19.10 then to 20.04 LTS and now 20.04.1 LTS.
Ian was the guy who complied Debian and Debbie was his girlfriend. Hence the name deb ian.
I am just going to mention these four as i know from past experience they work well even though i have tried most of the top fifty.
PCLinuxOS Full Monty
I dabbled around with PCLinuxOS in JHB. It is based on the now bankrupt Mandriva. Looks Like Mageai but these days it works better.
I trashed my 200 Gig Windows 10 partition and installed PCLinuxOS as /
So far so good, I am quite content with PCLinuxOS, has regular updates. X crashes now and again but not as much as in Mageai. For some reason when I log into PCLinuxOS I have to kill X and log in again and get my toolbar back.
Will see how it goes, no more Windows 10 or any other Windows on my machine as in JHB from 2003 till October 2012, except Windows XP on my Centrino which I purchased with XP, now moth balled which has seven obsolete Linux OSes on it, no XP. Overheats like shit and screen does not work. Served me well on many of my time share adventures with Mandriva installed.
As of today my mild/moderate mania seems to have passed and I am feeling more stableish with a bit of mild mania. Anyway of course I had to wake up early today just as I had to go to G.J. Crookes to collect my meds, the last few nights I was sleeping late. Lucky I had a power nap between 08:45 and 10:00. I went to GJC late, we arrived there at 11:50 and I was the only one in the q to collect my file. Like I said I don't know what will happen when it rains as the new clinic corridor is protected by a 1.4 meter wall so the patients will get wet unless they are allowed to sit in the inside corridor. I had some bloods taken, then the pharmacy and I was out of there in two hours. I have been an out patient at G.J. Crookes since January 2016 so they know me well, even the top security guards know me by name.
Mama in the meantime went for a haircut and we went to Checkers afterwards to do some shopping. When I go to Scottburgh I try sort out as many things as possible due to transport costs.
11/09/2020 02:55 CAT Friday, my nieces birthday, she turns 18 today. Happy birthday. In 2012 when I had my medical plan I was diagnosed with IBS by Doc L from Scottburgh. A few weeks ago I had extreme pain in my lower right abdomen when I got up from the armchair, I took some pills from the pharmacy and the pain has gone away, but I can feel a pushing pain in my lower right abdomen and I have only had two mugs of coffee now since I woke up at 00:18. Online Doctors are investigating my condition and I might have a hernia. Fuck that's all I need, I have been constipated for 15 years because of the meds I take, Mama feeds me plenty of fruit and vegetables. I don't do much PT as I am out of it between 08:00 and 11:00. Like I said since I opened my AMPPOL IT Linux CD's & DVD's business in 2003 I have been wakeing anytime between midnight and 02:00 and grafting till 07:00 more or less. That's in Randburg, then I used to start work again answering the phones at 08:00 till 19:00 and taking online orders so I grafted most of the day with power naps between. It's going well between Jabu and I and in a few days it will be our three month anniversary since we are back together again. I can't be bothered with spelling anymore, normally Samsung spells for me.
Mama is going to tile the toilet, so I have to go buy a few squares of tiles soon. The tilers where there to give a quote at 17:54, both of them where not wearing masks. I accepted the quote.
Went to bed early and woke at ....
12/09/2020 00:20 CAT Saturday Rebooted from Windows 10 and into Ubuntu 20.04 by mistake as I was listening to Catholic online Mass at the same time. So I did my usual morning Mageia Beta 1 update, all went smoothly. 02:15, had a hot shower, i feel the cold, feel sleepy now, 03:01. I woke at 06:32 and Mama and I went to Park Rynie at 07:55 to purchase some tiles, they did not have a large selection, in fact the first hardware shop we went to they had none at all. Today is the third month Jabu and I are back together. We will celebrate with a flattie chicken braai (BBQ) tomorrow. These mixture of herbs I take for ED are dangerous, the other night i took some and had a terrible pain in my right elbow, a bit in the left elbow and chest pain, it was as if I was having a panic attack. Come to think of it Mama upset me about two weeks ago and I had the same syntoms. But I think I have RA as I sit here and type my elbows are slightly painful. Tata died from an OD of steroids due to his RA. I am going to give it a break from taking a dangerous mixture of these ED herbs, fuck I really felt bad. I have been taking Lexan herbs in Randburg for my constipation and early on in 2012 but Doctor L said in 2012 I can take Epsom salts but my online Doctor says they are not for long term use and I have been using Epsom salts for the last two years at least in conjunction with liquid parrafin. So I will use Lexan herbs now and liquid parrafin, like I said Mama feeds me lots of soup and fruit especially during the winter. Jabu is not too fond of soup, she is used to her food at her mothers place. What the Africans do is month end they purchase 10kg of mielie meel, 10kg of rice, 10kg of flour, 5kg of sugar and meat from Umzinto, I used to do the same except for the flour but Mama will have none of it and it works out much cheaper at Checkers, also used to purchase 5l of oil. Rice does not go off but mielie meel does get worms if it stays too long. Mama however did purchase 5kg of rice and 7kg of brown sugar on her last shopping trip. Once Jabu did mot have ten rand pay the carrier so she had to cart all her shopping to the taxi rank. The hassle is working from home I drink a lot of tea and coffee, the one consultant place i worked for in Sandton once they offered free lunch and had a cold drink machine near the IT office but I was only doing contract work, we retire around 23:00 and.....
Let me reboot Mageia 8 Beta on my 250 G5 now and see if all is ok, one should always reboot Linux OS after a new kernel and if there are many updates to see if all works koscher. Ladies and gents we have X, the new kernel is 5.8.13 on Mageai 8 Beta. Looks good for my S145. Like I said only Fedora 33 Beta, Mangero 20.1 and Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta has the WIFI working on my S145, I am very disappointed with Mangero 20.1 that there is a PGP signature fuck up after less than a month of use. No train smash as Linus brings out the new kernels my machine will soon work stock with all Linux OSes. I have not complied my own kernel in years. Like I said due to my disability I am limited to working from midnight till 06:30 since 2003 and again from 11:00 till 20:00. I dought I will find a night shift job in Umdoni with no transport. Mama says I should work during the morning and cut the tree branches, like fuck. Maybe I should put a broom stick up my bum and drag it along behind me whilst I am about it. 06:11 Jabu will have a guest at 06:30 who is a domestic in a house nearby and they are best friends but have not seen each other for a long time. Her guest Miss S arrived at 13:00 whilst I was having my power nap and left at 14:50 in the pouring rain, I lent her my raincoat top which is too small for me and I used to use on the TSR in the rain. I used to grow my own pele pele and tomatoes in Randburg, In Pennington in 2012-2014 I only grew pele pele, lettuce and spinach, I think it's time to do so again, takes ninety days for the pele pele to rippen, though in this fertile soil I should get two crops with the right amount of rain. Pity I once had 53 tomatoe bushes in Randburg but no such luck here the monkeys will eat them. Being an Electrical engineer Tata did the electrical installation at Randburg himself with steel conduit in those days, the guy who did the COC in 2011 said magic. The only electrical maintenance I had in Randburg was to change the lamps and water heater element. I don't really care if the touchpad works on my S145 now that I have the S2. The S2 works magic. How I battled with my ten year old MX 1100, once again many thanks Mama and Mrs M from South Africa. 06:53 I will test and upload now, woke Jabu up with a cup of tea as requested this morning. Jabu will be going to her mothers for one week on Monday so I will not see her. This is our last weekend together and it saddens me that I do not have my own houses/flats like I had in Gauteng. I have only received one Paypal donation in four years for this book and that was last month, the month of angina/heart attacks. Lets hope when I kick the bucket it's in the arms of Jabu. My Doctor has advised me not to take ED herbs. I have yet to go for an ECG and blood tests but I will wait till my next angina attack then the ambulance can take me to GJC casualty if it's not too late. I am feeling much better on 1.5mg Risperdal at night with no ankel cramps so far. The other meds I take as directed. We will see when I go to the clinic this month if there is another incomplete parcel. Like I said it is over 3200 Rand's worth of meds I receive monthly for 45 Rand for six months. Not bad. I hereby certify that the Logitech MX Master 2S works 100% on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta. The drought has broken, it's raining. Let me get my cup of tea and test and upload. 07:15 08:25 Unfortunatly due to my constipation and the toilet not being able to handle my large turds, I have to cut them up with a 300 mm knife blade before I flush. 16:35 Mama and I battled financially the first half of 2020. The cats started to come to visit especially the wild black cat. She would walk through the house and look for food till I started to feed her, as if an angel came from heaven Mr R donated 5000 Rand in June 2020. Then in September 2020 I received my first Paypal donation of $60. The electrician did not phone today and I have decided to leave the electrics as is till I buy the spares and do the job myself, don't care a fuck anymore, hassle is if I am short of a part I don't have transport to drive off to Park Rynie and buy the spares straight away. In Randburg I had so many contacts I could find an electrician if need be in five minutes, this South Coast is really fucked up. Unfortuantly most of my friends left for Australia thirteen year ago. In the last quarter of 2011 my brother wanted Mama and I to move to the Isle of White. But I like South Africa and I will die here unless of course I am on holiday overseas and I peg on holiday. I have visited eight countries in Europe in my lifetime. And been all over South Africa. I would love to take Jabu to Poland especially Zakopane. I will not recognise Warsaw anymore from the pics my uncle has sent me of the skyscrapers that have gone up. The president of the USA has Covid-19 now. I am afraid of Mama whom takes daily walks to the beach and shops. But at least she keeps fit. I retire at 23:05...
04/10/2020 05:30 CAT exactly Sunday My Cubot Manito wakes me. I don't know what is going on but I am sleeping late these days. Mama was up already and getting ready for church. I have yet to watch online Mass. It's cloudy and gloomy outside. I have a nice view of the garden and outside security gate from my office as well as the street. Jabu is up as well but still in bed, I already made her her cup of tea. I have for the last four years being paying off Doctor Ndlovu's debt little by little but the interest keeps building up as I am paying of a minimum amount. Don't give a fuck as long as I pay as per agreement with the debt collectors. March 2012 I had all my cards paid off. Bipolar folks tend to go crazy and spend too much, that's why I will not make the same mistake in the last quarter of 2020. The renovations are costly and Mama still wants to tile her bedroom but I am saving a lot by doing the renovations myself with Siphokazi. Just can't get hold of an oregan pine toilet seat and loo paper holder. Mama left for church at 07:23, I will watch online Mass now. 08:57 I wrote off my Merc C180 on the 5th Of December 2012 on the R102 opposite the Wrecked Heron sigh post. The first to arrive on the scene was a traffic cop who did not ask how I was but tore off my liscence disk. I put a blanket on my roof of the car after I had half rolled it and but all my belongings on the blanket. My GPS was stolen from the blanket. The ambulance arrived and wanted to take me to GJC but I asked them to take me home. For three weeks Jabu cared for me as my right shoulder was fucked from the impact of hitting the barrier from the safety belt. I don't know why the air bags did not go off. I always drive slowly on that stretch of road down the hill as there are trucks coming out onto the R102 from the Umdoni landfill. Anyway, the last time I drove a car to Scottburgh was two years ago with oom John's VW Golf, it felt as if I had been driving a car all these years. The second fastest I have driven on a bike was when I had my XJ 750 with Dorota on the back down a hill on the way to Haartebeespoort Dam at 210 on the clock. I have had tons of cars and bikes pre December 2012, now I am stuck with my Chinese TSR which breaks down every month. I will get to point B but i never know if I will get back to point A. Like I said we had a braai and I took it for a spin when I got back home according to Mr Ra the rectifier blew. Very nice of Zuma to allow all this Chinese shit into the country, I have a Seiko made in Japan which needs to be fixed as well as a 1992 Zippo lighter which still works. My washing machine was made in the the USA so was my fridge. The last time I checked APC UPS was made in Singapore. Even the Chinese AV cables are faulty. The only good thing that came out of China was my Cubot Manito but a new battery costs 500 Rand on ebay. Like I said my Acer Semptron is still grafting which I purchased in 2003-2006. My HP Centrino Duo lasted me at least over ten years, they manufacture shit now. We will see how long the S2 and S145 last. I am betting on five years. My 250 G5 will be three years old in November 2020 and works well but is too slow for Windows 10 and even Linux OSes. Will never purchase a Celeron again, for 1500 Rand more I at that time could have purchased an i3 even though Zack played COD Black Ops for five hours on the 250 G5 and he won the game. I am not much of a gamer. I enjoy typing my book and testing Beta versions of Linux. 09:27 Mama will be back from church soon. I enjoy the online Catholic Mass. The Linux guys put a lot of work into the distro's for free. So now on my S145 i am an Ubuntu guy, much prefer Fedora 33 Beta KDE Plasma but I will stick and learn Ubuntu Linux 20.10 for now. This morning I quickly popped into Windows 10 for a .NET update and Defender update. Windows 10 looks good and I have the right boot loader from Fedora 33 Beta except it will not boot Mangero 20.1, I have to go into the BIOS to do that. Sunny skies will soon be here and I will be able to swim in my above ground pool, that reminds me, I need to empty it a bit as the rain has filled the pool up to 90%. I wonder is "sudo bash" still works, need to give it a shot. Can't wait for Mageia 8 final to be released, the Beta 1 is going well on my 250 G5. I will wait another week before I boot into PCLinux OS to see if there is a new kernel which will allow my WIFI to work. Like I said I have given up on Manjero 20.1 don't have the time to fuck around. Two hours is enough. 11:00 had homemade pizza for brunch. Jabu bought the base this time and Mama and I baked the topping. Delicious. 13:22 just woke from my power nap, Jabu is sleeping. I am a bit bored now. My four USB 3.0 ports have stopped working a few days ago on my twin fan cooler. They still charge the S2 and MX 1100 but if I plug a flash drive in they are dead. Had this problem before, will have to sort out tomorrow morning. Worked fine just the other day. Always something. 23:42 You might wonder why I hire a girl to do handyman work. Well most of the guys I have had bar one where either drunkards or sgebengu's. The one guy I hired turned out to be a real sgebengu, whilst I was in hospital he stole my fags, watch (not the Seiko) and a Samsung smartphone. Only one guy was good and he stayed with me for a long time in 2012 but decided to return to the Eastern Cape. Siphokazi is also Xhosa but her work is very good and I teach her the building trade, mostly painting for now. Even though she taught me something when we where doing a concrete mix.
05/10/2020 00:00 CAT Monday I will now proceed to update. No updates on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta, lets try Mageia 8 Beta 1. A few updates, not much happens on the weekend. No new kernel on PCLinuxOS on my S145, Fedora 33 Beta had a few. I fell asleep at 02:32 and woke at *.*, Jabu was packing, She is going to work then her mother's place for the week. Once again I watched her walk down the street and waved good bye. 10:42 Siphokazi is painting the curtain rails. She arrived for work just after 07:15. Paint job looks good so far. All going as planned and on schedule. Looks like my four USB ports on my twin cooler have fucked out. I can only charge the MX 1100 and S2. Windows 10 which I booted into this morning gave an error that the USB 3.0 are fucked. Pity I like to have an extra four USB 3.0 ports. 10:49 tea time, I will have my power nap when Siphokazi is gone to the clinic. Mama left for her walk to the beach and shops. 12:00 lunch time. 21:33 Had a nice power nap after 18:00 and feel fresh now. Chatted with Jabu just now. I will miss her this week. 21:37 let me upload this now. 22:15-23:59 watching a movie.
06/10/2020 00:11 CAT Tuesday Finished watching a movie. 00:15 Some updates on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta. 00:23 Listening to online Mass now. Pause, make coffee. 00:34 continue listening to Mass. 01:02 Amen 01:10 take meds. 01:17 Another movie but let me first upload. Had power naps till 06:30 08:00 After breakfast painting again. 14:15 knock off work. Update Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta and Mageia Linux 8 Beta 1.
07/10/2020 02:00 exactly CAT Wednesday listen to online Mass. Update Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta and Mageai 8 Beta 1. Watch movies. At 10:28 I boot into Mangero 20.1 and a pop up tells me I have 234 updates. Fuck me George. I did no further attempt to fix Mangero 20.1 PGP update issue since I last bitched that Mangero was not updating. In all I have spent three hours trying to get the PGP issue sorted last week. So I installed the 234 updates and for now Mangero 20.1 updates again out the blue, can't rely on Mangero 20.1, once it updates once it does not and it looks like a very nice Arch based KDE Plasma OS. So now I have Windows 10, Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta, Fedora 33 Beta and Mangero 20.1 (maybe) working on my S145, I tried to fix PCLinuxOS via USB tethering but no go, the WIFI still does not work. 11:18 will upload now. Will test Mangero 20.1 during the course of the week and will learn the command line if Mangero 20.1 updates. Simplicity, I hope it stays that way. 11:36 unless I am being hacked again and the helpful hackers fixed Mangero 20.1 KDE Plasma for me running kernel 5.9. It's my day off today from renovations. Need to get hold of a an extension step ladder. 11:55 lunchtime. Did not feel like eating today so no breakfast and lunch. Mama came back from Scottburgh at 15:35, after witnessing a horrible ordeal. Two taxi's had crashed and one guy was been beaten with sticks and kicked. Mrs M of Pennington and Mama decided to go to church to pray for him. So I had a big supper of mince and spagetti at 17:45. A nice peaceful day alone. 18:43 Lets boot into Mangero 20.1 KDE Plasma and see if it updates through the command line. It does. *.* Fell asleep on couch and woke up at .....
08/10/2020 00:01 CAT Thursday Take meds and switch to online Mass. No updates for Mangero 20.1 nor Fedora 33 Beta hmmm. Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta has some updates on the S145. Mageia 8 Beta 1 has a new kernel on my 250 G5. 00:54 Mass is ended. Let me reboot Mageia 8 Beta 1 on my 250 G5, Ubuntu Linux 20.04.1 and update. Failed to retrieve updates, selecting a new mirror, internal error, reboot. So far Mageai 8 Beta 1 is giving me the least amount of shit. 01:12 Lets give 20.04.1 another bash. 01:27 done with the 250 G5. Felling a bit sleepy let me have a nap. 02:21. Alarm woke me at 07:00 exactly. 08:20 no updates for Mageia 8 Beta 1. Lets check out Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta. No updates either. At last I got hold of an electrician and he will come give a quote next week. If Jabu is not working she is still sleeping, I will phone her just now. Time to take my meds. 13:00 Mama cooks a nice brinjal and potatoe bake lunch. Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta recons I need to reboot after a few updates so I will do so at 14:12. 19:35 All I seem to be doing is updates. Fourteen updates on Mageia 8 Beta 1 and a new kernel for Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta. Can't wait for Friday late afternoon, I have a surprise install for me. Friday will be very very busy. As the 22nd of October 2020 draws closer I am enjoying using Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta and Windows 10. I just did not enjoy the seven hour feature update from Microsoft, even on my 250 G5 I never had such a long install of a feature update. Anyway Windows 10 is doing well and my S145 will be one month old on the 16/10/2020, how time flies. Well blow me over, who would think I would spend my time, 80% using Ubuntu Linux. I have always been an RPM guy other than using Debian Buster 10.6 by force on my 250 G5 as my Mageia was continually hacked. As you know my first boxed set was Red Hat 6.1 then I went on to Red Hat 7.* and as of Fedora Core 2 I changed over to Mandrake then Mandriva. From Mandriva I went on to Mageia and then Debian and now Ubuntu Linux. I had an i5 overclocked Desktop in Randburg and Pennington which the mobo gave up on me. That was some machine, I forget to how many Ghz I managed to overclock it to. I had a overclocking mobo. It now lies mothballed together with my AMD desktop. With all this load shedding one needs a laptop anyway. I recon I can get three hours of battery life out the S145, I tried it out the other night watching movies and I fell asleep during the movie. So basically I am very happy with my gift of the Lenovo S145 i5 laptop and hereby certify that it works on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta as long as one installs dkms, git and build essential. The touchpad works 100"s. Well done Ubuntu Linux guys. I will wait till Mageai 8 Final is released as I am having no joy with PCLinuxOS on this machine. Fedora 33 Beta WIFI works but not the touchpad. Come to think of it I have not tried to sort it out yet. Mangero 20.10.1 is dicy once it updates once it does not. I have had quite a almost month with this machine. My Ubuntu Linux 20.04.1 is rock solid on my 250 G5. Just it's the local mirrors that seem to fuck me around the most especially on Mageia 8 Beta 1. 20.33 let me see what's on TV. Bit boring without Jabu here. But the surprise is that she arrives after work tomorrow, Friday. I ride with my TSR to the Pennington clinic tomorrow at around 12:00. Lets hope all my meds are there and I don't receive an incomplete parcel again. Need to remember to take my mask with. Will have to be screened first before I receive my meds. About time I took the TSR for a spin after I have spent so much bucks repairing it and making it roadworthy. Just a bit rusted from standing outside as we don't have a garage. I miss my XJ 750, 90 in first gear at top RPM. Now that was a bike in those days. We had open fields in Randburg when I was a kid and we used to use them as a motocross track but they have since been fenced off. My friend had a thumper now that was power. When my horse comes in I will take Jabu to a bike rally and camping in the berg during summer. Even in summer the rivers have ice cold water high up in the berg. South Africa is a fab holiday destination. My favourite is Mpumulanga with Grasskop, Pilgrims Rest, Blyde river canon and Sabie. The Kruger Park is full of elephants and once with Carina we must have spotted 12 in one day. I have never seen an Ingwe in the wild. Bush babies are so qute at night. And the dangerous buffolo, , I have been within a few meters of a rhino on horseback. Last time Jabu and I rode a horse was in 2012 at the underberg. When I went with Mama for timeshare in October 2012 it was one hell of a ride, looking down to the left was a sheer drop. I don't think I could get onto a horse today. I rode horses from the age of fourteen till October 2012 and then on that fateful day of 5th December 2012 the devil took my Merc away from me. February 2013 till end August 2016 my TSR was fine. I used to visit Mama at Summerhill Lodge Scottburgh for the day once or twice a week for lunch. When the house was put on sale I became more anxious and depressed. lucky Mama had a place to come back to end July 2018. Unfortunatly she is a bit unfair and even though it's her house she has taken over everything, even though I sort out all the paper work and bills for her. I am her caregiver as well and she needs one believe me. Anyway the 12/10/2020 will be our fourth month that Jabu and I are back together. I miss her dearly when we are apart for extended periods of time. I will only upload this late Friday or Saturday morning as I don't like writing into the future. Wishing myself luck on my two kilometer ride to the Pennington clinic. Retired at 23:59 after watching "adults only XXX"..
09/10/2020 05:51 CAT Friday Home brew coffee and a new day. Siphokazi comes at 07:15 to clean the house. At 11:15 I start to prepare to go to the Pennington clinic. I leave at 11:50 after checking my TSR. All looks good. The R102 is closed due to a sinkhole for the last few months, the sinkhole came about must be two years ago. Lucky after three years ago there is an alternate route to Scottburgh and the Pennington clinic which I new about. What a harrowing experience. A narrow road full of potholes where barely two cars fit. I came back the scenic route past the shops, before that I hit such a large pothole I don't know how my TSR made it, I will have to inspect her tomorrow. I get screened and wait for my meds. It takes a while as the Sister who knows me very well cannot find the meds. Eventually I receive a large plastic bag of meds. Oh yes prior to this I somehow twisted my strap on my helmet and could not get it undone. I thought I would have to ask the Sister to help me get my helmet off but after a few minutes somehow managed. At 15:40 Jabu arrives for the weekend. We have fish and chips for supper and Jabu brought along some paw paw. We retire in each other arms at 22:16....
10/10/2020 01:17 CAT Saturday. Brew my coffee brew, Mama is still watching her news channels. I wake up and my elbows are painful, I take my meds. My chest feels like something is pushing on it. Damn elbows, I don't know what it is. In Randburg I had a Zippo lighter in just about every room. Now lately in Pennington I have one in my Office and one in the TV room where I spend most of my day. I use the 1992 model Zippo in my office which I battled to get to work as I made a mixture of parrafin and meths to try to get it to work during lock down level 4 to no avail. After flushing it with Zippo fluid it now works. My 2012 model Zippo lighter I use in the TV room and when I go out. Mama makes sure the house is well ventulated even in winter. As Mama went to bed and Jabu is fast asleep I will upload now and watch a movie, let me check out Distrowatch first. Mageai is normally released on weekends. The Mass is ended go in peace. 02:22 check and upload. PS as usual I updated Mageai 8 Beta 1 on my 250 G5 and 20.10 Beta on my S145. 02:35 I did not check first if pawinskico.za is resolving but after upload it is not. 02:45. Hosting does not work weekends. As I brew my second mug It starts pouring with rain. We need the rain and the weekend is forecast for rain and cold, 21/19 C. 02:58 always on a Friday afternoon my domain goes down. Thinking of it actually 60% of Pennington's roads are potholed, soon they will be dirt roads. How times have changed since March 2012. Lucky for my TSR which can handle these potholes looks like it. Sometimes one has to drive straight through pothole as there is an oncoming car coming. Nothing to download tonight, where is Mageai 8 Beta 2 ?. I have plenty space on my HDD. I will boot into Windows 10 on the 13/14 to check for patch Tuesday. Like I said the 12th Of October is Jabu's and I forth month anniversary back together. 05:06 pawinski.co.za still not resolving. 05:30 the sun is rising, I thing I will give it a weekend break from these continual updates and concentrate on my wife Jabu who is only here for the weekend. 05:31 A rainy cold weekend coming, time too upload and hope after 08:00 my site is up again. 07:06 will upload now, have a blessed day.
11/10/2020 03:30 CAT Sunday Need to wake Mama at 05:45 today for Mass whilst I now listen to online Mass. Going to do the reboot thing and update all my OSes. Had a nice lazy day with Jabu yesterday. Windy, cold and cloudy. Had beef stew and pap for late lunch. Delicious. Today the weather forecast is even colder. Where is summer. I am getting a bit bored of online Mass, it's the same story every day for the last few months except for the readings. I used to enjoy going to Wednesday Mass with Mama when she lived in Scottburgh. In 2012 I used to drop Mama off at Mass at Park Rynie and go do the shopping at the mall and come back to fetch her. Now she relies on lifts to Mass. Mass is at eight so she has to get up early. She enjoys the new Priest's sermon. My best friend in Randburg always used to say why I don't just come into the church when I used to pick Mama up from Mass after her car was stolen on June 16th *.*. There are five Catholic churches nearby if one has a car. Like I said it's easy to get to Umzinto by taxi but getting back to Pennington is a mission. Jabu somehow manages but she has lived here most of her life and her mother used to be a Catholic in her younger days. I would not mind going to uShaka in Ethekweni with Jabu on a hot Friday day by taxi. I have never been. All is quite except for the CPU fan going off on my S145. I am used to the fan less 250 G5. My wild black cat visits daily for scraps and even runs into the house. According to Google a black cat is supposed to give good luck and prosperity. Which I have been having lately since late July 2020 when it all started with Mr R from the USA. Now since then and August in particular I have something to do during the day and work from anywhere from 23:00 till 14:30. Being a project manager is not easy especially with Mama around. It's 04:58 now and I can hear the birds starting to chirp. Let me make myself a mug of tea as the clock strikes 05:00. There is a glimmer of light breaking through the clouds on this Covid-19 day. I remember the days of plenty when the harvest was good pre August 2018. Then all went downhill and the shit started to come from London in the form of a 35 year old devil. As CFO for Mama's affairs I could not pay many of her bills in the first half of 2020. Till the angels came from heaven in the form of strangers and long lost friends in the third quarter of 2020 and saved Mama's and my bacon. Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ and fuck those who fucked with us. Now Mama's house is starting to look like a home thanks to me even though we disagree on many of the renovations. Mama had nineteen years of renovations in Randburg and she says she has had enough now. So this month will be the last month of renovations. All I have left to do is give the kitchen and toilet ceiling a second coat of paint and the electrics to be done. Like I said I am not going to touch the electrics as if I need a part how am I going to get to Park Rynie to quickly buy the part. Mrs M of Pennington is always busy. We shall see this week what the quote will be for the socket outlets if the electrician pitches. I want to fix the 26 points in stages. This house was built either in the late 70's or early 80's going by the plumbing and electrics. Half of Pennington was a sugar plantation way back owned by Sir Richard. We will soon have fibre in Pennington so that is a blessing. 05:39 time to wake up Mama. It's light outside now not too cloudy but 14 C. As our last K9 was ripped apart by Gus, Jenny's K9 we have a lot of cats visiting from next door as well. Jabu is the expert snake killer, she takes shit from no one and has many contacts. I would be lost without her as my wing man. My prayers have almost been all answered, just two more. It's difficult getting Mama out of bed and it's 05:58 already, her lift comes at 07:00 sharp. In the unlikely event that Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta crashes and I have to reinstall I will be fucked as I don't remember what I did to get it working in the first place. So many OSes. That's why I like to have a few back up OSes on my machine that graft 100%. I am sure the final stock iso will not work on the S145. Anyway I have a good large / and a large /home partition for Ubuntu Linux 20.10. Like I said I will only try Mageia 8 once it is final, still a long way to go, maybe Xmas time 2020. 06:20 time to brew some coffee. Being the project manager for the renovations and reducing the mind bending intake of Risperdal (now I think clearer) I have managed to save thousands of Rands on the renovations and touch ups at Mama's house. Imagine if I had to get a pro painter in and general handyman. As it is I found a tiler for 70% of another quote. My black cat is indeed bringing me good luck, I see this morning I won the equivalent of eleven loaves of bread on the lotto. Mama left for church at 07:06 and at 07:37 we had a power failure. Only in Pennington. Had none of this shit in Randburg except for load shedding. When it rains, thunderstorm or someone farts the power goes off. Total fuck up, soon I will run out of firewood at this rate and my 80% of my firewood is wet. I only keep 20% dry. Gone are the ESC (easy slow comfortable) days. Jabu has gone to the shops now, I hope the generator is working at the shops. No fucking breakfast, I don't feel like taking the gas out. 08:32 let me test and upload, have a blessed Sunday to the believers and fuck the rest. 17:00 20.10 Beta "the software on this computer is up to date", Mageia 8 Beta 1 had two updates. 17:02 sleep, the machine not I. Prior to this when Jabu returned from the shops I packed the braai fire and fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up Jabu had already lit the fire. She did not want to wake me. We had a nice chicken flattie braai even though it was a bit windy and cool. We retired at 22:10...
12/10/2020 05:35 CAT Monday I had a good nights sleep, once again the A20 alarm did not wake me. Apparently Jabu says the alarm does wake me but I turn it off and go back to sleep. We have scrambled eggs for breakfast and toast. Kiss and hug goodbye and as usual I wave to Jabu as she walks down the street to work. I will see her again later in the week. In the meantime the cheeky twenty five year old came to work at 07:10. Siphokazi is giving the kitchen and toilet a second coat of paint. Siphokazi is like an unguided missile and thinks she knows everything. She really upset me this morning. She is dripping paint on the wooden wall and I told her previuosly to wipe the paint straight away with a damp cloth but she does not listen. Once the paint has dried one has to sand paper the paint off. At 08:30 I watched online Mass as usual. So my day began well with Jabu but full of shit from Siphokazi and Mama. Mama did not want me to paint a second coat, I don't want to leave the job half done. I have had enough of this shit, once the electrics are done that's it. 09:25 17:59 The painting inside is now finished. Busy updating. Will await the electrician this week, otherwise will leave the electrics alone, they have been like this since February/March 2012. 21:06 In four days it will be one month since I received the S145, how time flies. The buzz is over and I am used to the S145 now. I will stick with Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta for now. I opened Libre Office today and it opened in a millisecond. I was under the impression that there would be no more kernels for this Beta release but I just downloaded one so it's time to reboot. 21:21
13/10/2020 04:35 CAT Tuesday Basically did sweet fuck all today. Other than boot into Windows 10 awaiting patch Wednesday update (for South Africa) and played around with Windows 10 a bit. Fitted the new toilet seat in the afternoon. Mama went for her usual cardio walk. After supper I retired at 19:46 and had a nice bhepa in bed.
14/10/2020 02:00 CAT Wednesday exactly First the famous coffee brew and then updated Microsoft Windows NT 10 on the S145. In the meantime I updated 177 packages on Mageai 8 Beta 1 (250 G5) and a new kernel and updates all on my 250 G5 for Ubuntu Linux 20.04.1. By 03:00 all three where finished and listened to online Mass in the meantime as well. No renovations planned for the rest of the week till I get hold of an extension step ladder. Think I will watch a movie now. Looking forward to the weekend. God bless you this lovely summer morning, oh yes, I did swim a couple of times yesterday but the water was quite cool, my pool is under an enormous tree, it's the only place on the property really where there is flat ground but I of course made the ground level for the pool. What a difference an i5 makes compared to a Celeron. rkhunter flies. The 250 G5 Celeron gave me a bad opinion of Windows 10, but now I am quite content with Microsoft Windows NT 10 on my S145. Had a few updates on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta just now but nothing to reboot for. It's not good to keep rebooting for a HDD. As I light my fag with my 1992 model Zippo ligher I say adious and see you later. 04:00. 06:22 the sun has risen a while back and soon the pedestrian traffic will start walking down our road as well as the cars heading for Scottburgh and North. 06:25 time to have a tea break. 11:20 nothing much to do now after my power nap, the meds put me to sleep, my wild black cat is here for the second time, this time for lunch. Lets update Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta on my S145. Mama woke at 09:42 this morning, she had a good sleep after watching the news channels till late. I did not feel like breakfast this morning so Mama is cooking home made hamburgers for brunch, a mixture of pork and beef. 11:37 Mama calls me for brunch. When I had AMPPOL IT Linux CD's & DVD's in full swing, I used to download hundred"s of gigs of iso's. 12:00 I like coffee after my meal. Whilst I am drinking my coffee at 12:23 there is another power failure. Time to bring out the gas, I feel like a spot of tea now. Dang power failures, not one power failure at night since I purchased my 1000 lumens LED lantern to work on the DB and for power failures at night. I hope when the electrician comes there is not a power failure as he has to drill two holes. 12:48 power back on. Maybe the guy at Simmerpan spilled his coffee on the control panel. Let me boil the kettle and have a wonderful afternoon with Mama. I am quite pissed off with ESC, they sent us a bill for 3000 Rand two months ago when our average usuage used to be 800/1000 Rand per month. Four call center agents and one email later and now the bill has been reduced to 2800 Rand, great. Bit boring when not doing renovations and Jabu not here. Let me have something cool to drink and upload. Don't feel like a swim but it's quite hot now so maybe I will jump in anyway. 15:00 At 19:36 Mrs M from Pennington and I had a disagreement. Mama was supposed to house sit her place this weekend till Tuesday to look after her cat. Fancy that Mrs M from Pennington did not even ask me if it's ok with me. I said nothing at first a week back but Mama has only 40% use of her right arm, is in continual pain from her fractured humerus (more than a year ago now) and never mind she is not feeling too well with her BPMD. Mrs M from Pennington is just like my brother, goes over my head and think they can do what they want. Fuck that I retired at 20:24 after having a chat with Jabu......
15/10/2020 02:15 CAT Thursday I woke after the A20 alarm went of repeatadly. 414 updates on Mageai 8 Beta 1 on my 250 G5. A new kernel for Ubuntu Linux 20.10 beta on my S145. Today will be a scorcher so lots of swimming. Ladies and gents we have a 5.9 kernel on Mageia Linux 8 Beta 1. Maybe will work on my S145, can't wait for Beta 2 to be released. We are more like on RC 2 03:50 I tried my one of my four USB 3.0 ports on my twin cooler again and now they work. The cooler used to come in handy when Zack was playing COD during the hot summer months on the 250 G5. I am doing the laundry right now and waiting for the forty minute cycle to finish before I hang the laundry after sunrise. Siphokazi is coming to work tomorrow to clean and iron. 04:46 I have been listening to adoration and benediction for the last fifteen minutes, I will listen to online Mass just now, don't feel like watching a movie. My unemployment grant still has not come through which I give to Mama. Everything in my office is mostly basically donated including the data. Mass has started, lucky I can multi task. The birds have just started to chirp and at 05:03 there is a glimmer of light coming from the East. The days will be longer and I will work till 07:00 instead of sunrise. After I take my meds at 08:00 they really make me feel sleepy then I need a power nap. I have set my alarm for 02:00 for now to recover from my mild mania as of 20th May 2020 due to Ewa till 12th August 2020. Jabu does not like it when I graft at night, she says she does not like to sleep alone. 05:11 let me go hang the laundry and carry on with Mass which I have paused. 05:36 done hanging the laundry. Let me have a coffee break. I did not finish watching or listening to online Mass today, first time in many months. 16:05 two swims today, the water is nice and cool. Must be 20 C. Looks like Mama will not be house sitting at Mrs M from Pennington. Jabu and I almost had the house to ourselves for the weekend. 18:36 Finished watching today's online Mass after all.
16/10/2020 05:00 CAT Friday Woke up late again. My dearest Jabu is coming for the weekend today. 05:32 been eating too many pele pele. Usual stuff, a new kernel on Mageia 8 Beta 1 on my 250 G5. Libre Office updates on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta on the S145. Siphokazi phoned to say she can't come to work today, she is sending her sisi. Now I have to train someone new. Siphokazi says she is going to hospital with her mother. Jabu should be here just after 07:00 and she was. It was good to see her. I had one early morning swim today and then it became too cool. We spent a pleasant evening together whilst Mama watched the news channels. Must have retired at 09:15....
17/10/2020 02:00 CAT exactly Saturday The alarm wakes me and Jabu shakes me awake as well just in case. How nice it is to have my wife with me. Going to do the laundry now, it will be hot and sunny today. The electrician did pitch yesterday and said he will give a quote. I am sure I could do the job myself if I had a truck. Received my grant this morning so am quite happy. Apparently uncle Cyril has extended the SRD grant till end January 2021. Suits me, don't have to put too much of a strain on Mama. Every cent helps. I purchase 5 kg of rice, 5 kg of mielie meel, 5 litre of oil and 8 kg of brown sugar with 350 Rand. 03:30 Am listening to online Holy Mass now. Soon i will have an extension step ladder, hired from a friend. Laundry is finished, will hang at sunrise. "rkhunter" flies on my S145, I use it as a benchmark speed test compared to my 250 G5 Celeron. I wasted three years of my life because I did not have 1500 Rand more to pay for an i3 250 G5. 4 gigs of RAM is too little anyway. My next machine will have 16 or 32 and will hopefully be an i7/i9. The first thing I will do when I make big is pay off my debts. Doctor Ndlovu has not offered to pay them. So in my younger years I used to enjoy horse riding, a 70 something year old friend of Tata's and Mama's once went horse riding and fell of the horse and hurt his back in the berg, he said "i curse the day I climbed onto that horse", Like I said I have only come off once and that was in the Underberg when I was too heavy for the horse near the Sani pass. I would not mind going horse riding again. At fourteen/sixteen I was galloping back to the stables. Camping is next on the list, now that is real fun. Especially camping near the Kruger Park like Pilgrims Rest. I have not seen God's window since February 2012. I regret we gave our time share away for mahala. I wonder what Paul Rigden did with Mama's 400 K after he came out of jail. I am afraid to invest anywhere suspect. So far we have spent quite a lot on renovations. I just want to paint the outside window frames and hope the electrician comes back with a quote. He says it's a small job. Seems like quite a good chap. Any way let me finish watching online Mass. 04:06 Paused it too long there is no video will have to listen. Then of course there are motorcycles, hate them now. The TSR has really put me off biking. Spent thousands repairing the TSR, could have bought a car with that money. Mass is ended. My bad, should have bought a car in January 2013. Blessed are you among woman, pray for us sinners. Feel like booting into something else now and see what's up. 04:16 04:30 Piece of shit gives me a "PGP" error again. PCLinuxOS updates fine via USB tethering. No hassles with Fedora Beta 33. 05:25 time to hang the laundry. 06:32 time to have a break. Spent a pleasant day with Jabu and Mama. Had pap and wors for lunch. 20:35 Mama and Jabu are watching TV now. I swam a couple of times today. My last swim was at 18:00, water nice a cool. Just had to log in to do something so I thought if there are any updates but there where none on the S145, Like I will have a sandwitch now and some water mixed with juice. I love updates as you must know by now, for ten years I did nothing but download iso images and either sell them or test them out on virtual box.
18/10/2020 04:52 CAT Sunday I am having too many power naps and sleeping too late these last six days. A new kernel for Mageia. So the not so wild black cat continues to visit. These days for breakfast, lunch and supper. She even goes into the house and lets me pat her whilst she is eating. Have not seen her this morning yet when I went to inspect the pool. All good luck so far from the black cat. Mama is not going to church today so we will later listen to online Mass together. These last few days I have only been updating Ubuntu Linux and Mageai. Thanks to Canonical I am able to use Linux on my S145. It's the only one that really works 100% up till now. 07:42 Mama and Jabu are still sleeping, I am watching "2 Guns". I partly got the idea to type this book from my brother who gave me a book by John Cleese, an autobiography. I type this book in the spirit of open source and rely on donations. Most of the donations have come from Mama and my brother. Till 9th August 2020 when his wife sent me the second venomous letter after she contacted me first on the 8th August 2020. So Mama, Jabu and I survive on our own but Jabu has to feed herself when at home and Mhlengi. Taxi fare is expensive to school. Like I said I give my grant to Mama. 08:00 Jabu is now awake and I made her tea. Let me watch the end of the movie and then we will listen to online Mass when Mama wakes up and has had her breakfast. I was watching TV last night and something the actor said made me listen to Spanish Train on you tube. I have not heard it for ages, It seems as if I had just heard it the other day. I had a small collection of mp3's (64 days) years ago but the HDD failed so I hit it to pieces with a four pound hammer and chucked it away. That's the best way to format a HDD. I always keep my four pound hammer handy. Mama is very worried that food is so expensive and I try run the bills as best as I can unless we get unexpected bills like from ESC. I had an awefull week last week not doing renovations since Monday. Really boring and to top it all the alarm does not wake me at 02:00. Lets hope the electrician gets back to me this week. The morning started of cloudy but from my office I see it's now sunny. Maybe I will have a swim later. Mama as usual left the back door unlocked and Mrs M from Pennington wanted her to house sit. I can't watch Mama 24/7, I need to sleep sometime. That's odd you tube has not alerted me of the usual online Holy Mass this morning, Mama did not want me to ask Mrs V to take her to church today as Mrs V's husband is ill. I don't feel like watching the end of "2 Guns' right now so I will take my meds and start another day. 08:26 I sleep a lot lately like I said and it's bugging me. 14:06 Lunch is almost ready, Mama has gone to the beach, she is upset with me that I did not braai but it's too windy. I am trying to watch the last part of the movie. 14:12 Sunday lunch, fried pork chops and rice, we normally only eat meat every two days. After a pleasant day with Jabu I retire at 19:36....
19/10/2020 01:22 CAT Monday Brew, update watch end of movie. Jabu once again walked down the street to work, I waved and shouted bye but she is coming back today. Most boring cloudy day without renovations.
20/10/2020 03:21 CAT Tuesday New kernel for Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta. Jabu went off to work at an other house today, real nearby. She says I am feeling better because I sleep a lot. The black cat still comes to visit and I continue to watch/listen to online Mass in the mornings. Th electrician gave me a quote this morning, at last things are progressing, the job should be done this week. Mama is feeling much better and not shouting so much. Mrs M from Pennington still does not talk to us since Friday even though she is a devote Catholic Christian, she does not practice what she hears at Mass. I am sitting more often at the S145 laptop screen during the day now. Tonight is my second fav, pap and wors. I love prawns and chips but they are so expensive even by the ocean. 11:52 It's very windy today, no swimming, I hope a large branch does not damage my pool again. Mama is cooking soup, she loves to bake and cook which she could not do at Summerhill Lodge. Even with one arm she manages. Jabu just had to clean the windows today so she returned home early whilst I was having one of my many power naps. I remember about twenty six years ago we where at the South Coast with Dororta and my daughter Kasia and the weather was cloudy and wet as well in October. Just as we where about to leave one morning the clutch in the BMW packed up and we only left for Johannesburgh in the late afternoon. To top it all someone almost wiped us out at the Van Reenen's Pass late at night. Kasia was very young the and I carried her in a back pack like attachment on my back. Pawel was not born yet my son. I have not seen them in over twenty years but have chatted with them especially Kasia in the last three years. Have not seen them for so long that I don't miss them. They will contact me again one day if they so wish. 18:02 Jabu is cooking supper, I am the tea maker. Mama only drinks Rooibos. Retired early again......
21/10/2020 02:00 exactly Wednesday
22/10/2020 10:20 Thursday The electricians arrive and fit a duo LED kitchen luminaire, pull switch and LED lamp for fan, place is so bright now at night and wire the socket outlets to the DB as I fitted them in 2012. That's all in the budget for now. According to me renovations of two months are now over, we will see if Mama requires anything else. Ubuntu Linux 20.10 is released.
23/10/2020 Friday Siphokazi's sister once again comes to work.
24/10/2020 Jabu is working this weekend.
09/11/2020 01:05 CAT Monday My clock changed the last few weeks and I have been going to sleep at around 20:00 and waking at around 06:30. Don't feel like typing much during the day. Had a nice weekend, took Jabu for a hamburger at the beach on Saturday. Received some cash back from my funeral policy. It's the third time this year we have been out for hamburgers. Otherwise I just sit at home and think of ways to make money. Whilst Jabu and I where away for breakfast on Saturday morning a guy came looking for his black cat. Mama gave it to him and I am quite pissed of as I tamed the cat and fed it for a few weeks. The black cat has not come back.
10/11/2020 07:31 CAT Tuesday We have a new maid, a 28 year old, her name is Nomvula which means in isiZulu no rain. She is quite pleasant and not cheecky like Siphokazi. Siphokazi left without saying goodbye but reffered us Nmomvula. I did not feel like sleeping and went to bed at 22:03 and woke at ...
11/11/2020 02:26 CAT Wednesday It has been raining for two days now. I emptied my pool a bit yesterday, I hope it's not too full this morning. Still raining. Only slept for four and one half hours so don't feel like smoking, too full of nicotine. Need to open the window as it is a bit stuffy in here but it is cold. I have been passing my days with the usual shit, doing the laundry, dishes and watching TV.
17/11/2020 Invested in Ether at first and then Bitcoin for Mama and made four thousand Rand for her in exactly one month. Mama's bank gives her less than 3% per year interest per year so I made 40% in one month. Bitcoin and Ether is very risky though so buy crypto at your own pearl.
16/12/2020 GJC does not have Lithium so I have not been taking it for a while. This has improved my sex life. This morning Jabu came multiple times and really enjoyed it for the first time in a long time after I used the herbs. Best love making since 2017. I investigated and on the next day I received my last Ubuntu 20.10 updates and my last Ubuntu 20.04 updates where on the 24/12/2020, I have not received any Playstore updates since this day so someone is fucking with me big time.
23/12/2020 Christmas is almost here. Mama has been very ill and weak for the last two months, please pray for her. I leave my 250 G5 laptop on most of the time now to watch the live Bitcoin and Ether price, more than last week i not had any updates on both my Ubuntu laptops strange.
25/12/2020 Had turkey for Christmas with Mama, Jabu and myself. Had a shit Christmas as the debt collectors kept phoning me just before Christmas, don't know where they got my unlisted number from and I have a deal with them that I am paying them off.
31/12/2020 Jabu cooked beef Breyani for us.
01/01/2021 00:00 Jabu and I kissed and wished each other the best for the New Year. Jabu worked today.
03/01/2021 Reinstalled Ubuntu 20.10 and will see if I get updates. Still no updates on Google Playstore, Sunday Bitcoin was over 34 000 USD per coin. When I first bought some It was 18 800 USD.
04/01/2021 Bitcoin dropped to 29 750 USD and picked up to 30 000 USD at 13:40, hope it does not drop more, I like it at 34 000 USD plus.
05/01/2021 Bitcoin is battling to break 31 000 USD this morning. Ether is up to 1019 USD. It was 626 USD when I first bought it. Still no updates on Google Playstore this morning bar one. I have had five updates this year on Google Playstore. On my S145 Ubuntu 20.10 had a new kernel and some updates. I have yet to sort out my touchpad. All else works so far touch wood. I am happy I have updates on 20.10 so I decided to boot into Ubuntu 20.04 (I have had an Ubuntu version without reinstalling on my 250 G5 since I bought the laptop three years ago), and yo and behold my updates out the blue are back without me doing anything, maybe I reinstalled Ubuntu 20.10 for fuckall at 02:24 in the morning on the 3rd, I am fucked when I get up early these days. Mageai 8 Beta is doing well but I don't have the data to update it during the day. Jabu is working everyday now and is pissed off that I am making bucks with Bitcoin by lying on the couch, she does not call it work, at first she was quite excited that I was making so much money according to my bipolar disorder. I have not made any money since 2013 when I sold my last Linux DVD. If the Bitcoin price shoots up before April I will be able to buy myself a car. 10:38 The Bitcoin price is 31 332 USD. My blood pressure pills or my angina are playing havoc with me these last two months, I get dizzy and feel faint often. I am scared to ride the TSR.
06/01/2021 Woke up early for a change to see the Bitcoin price above 34 000 USD per coin at around 02:00. Made a fuckup up on my S145 when installing dkms on Ubuntu 20.10 trying to get my touchpad to work yesterday afternoon should have fucking left the installation alone it was fine, I was just been fucked around as usual this time with the updates. Last time I got the touchpad right first time when it was Beta. Still no touchpad but all else seems to graft. Hate it when something does not work. Waiting for new kernel, don't feel like compiling one. 03:38 Bitcoin has slipped down to 33 666 USD. My prediction is either it's going to crash in the next few days or jump to above 50 000 USD per coin. On Sunday Bitcoin started to shoot up to above 34 000 USD so I bought some more with my profits, it was nerve racking yesterday when it dropped. I hope it stays above 34 000 USD. I was supposed to fetch my meds on the 31/12/2020 but the clinic closed at 10:30 so lucky I have stock but will have to fetch them soon. Even though I keep receiving incomplete parcels the last 18 months. 03:52 33 824 USD per Bitcoin. At 06:21 Bitcoin jumped to above 35 500 USD per coin. Since then till 09:37 Bitcoin has been steady at 35 1/200 USD. I was just having a power nap when the phone rang, nobody phones me on this number so it can only be the poes debt collectors again, strange some debt collectors have left me alone for years and I have just been paying. If I make some money on this Bitcoin the first thing I will do is pay off these fucking Umzimkulu debts and then buy a car. 09:55 now Bitcoin has dropped to 34 752 USD per coin, I have been watching the laptop screen from the time I wake up till the time I go to sleep since the 17th November 2020. The price goes up and down like a yo yo. Well enough of this Bitcoin thing, I will let you know if i succeed in making big bucks this first quarter of 2021.
So on this 6th day of January 2021 I sit at my laptop and think that I did not even go to the beach during the Christmas holidays. Real hermit since mid 2003, had to be with my line of work running AMPPOL IT Linux CD's & DVD's for ten years. My best friends are long gone to Australia, UK or the USA. The only time I go out is with Jabu and Mama when she is feeling well. Went to fetch my meds at the Pennington clinic today. Only four out of eleven meds I take where in stock from GJC Pharmacy, great. I am a bit tired as my power nap was cut short and will sleep early tonight.
07/01/2021 05:00 CAT Slept very well and woke up to the Bitcoin price at 37 250 USD per coin, a few minutes later it jumped to 37 750 USD. Jabu informed me the other week that a friend of hers invited her to the USA. She is fed up with working all day for pennies as a maid and still being poor without her own house and car. So soon when this Covid-19 is over I will not see her for a long time. Maybe that will be in 2025. Zack has finished school now so she says she can go or leave Pennington to find better well paid work. Lets hope I make some money on Bitcoin before that so she will stay. Mama is still ill and spends most of her days in bed. The pain from her fractured humerous almost two years later is unbearable. Just a few months ago Mama was walking down the hill to the beach and the store and back up the steep hill. I will spend another day watching the Bitcoin chart since 17th November 2020. I am waiting till Bitcoin reaches at least 50 000 USD per coin before I sell some again but this morning I thought I would take some of my profits and sell some at 37 150 USD, i bought some at 34 000 USD remember. Had a few updates on Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.10 early this morning as well as Google Playstore. I will only update Mageia 8 Beta if I wake up very early. As you know this book is mainly for my information so I can read back and see what was in my life in Pennington and Scottburgh. Bitcoin is now 11:07 hovering around 37 000 USD. Up till now I have made 4000 ZAR plus 8250 ZAR gross profit. That does not include fees for buying and selling which come to a couple of grand. I am still learning this crypto thing so can't expect to make too much in two months. Don't worry debt collectors you will soon have all your fucking money, at one stage the banks used to phone me and ask me if I wanted to invest and always wanted to raise my credit card(s) limit. It's not my fault I had money to pay off my debts then I was sent to Umzimkulu for fuckall and the shit hit the fan. At 14:30 Bitcoin stands at 38 050 USD per coin breaking another record high. At the moment at least I am not throwing any bucks away but have made some for Mama. Keeps me busy this Bitcoin. Bit nerve racking though. Looks like it's going to hit (rally) to 40 000 USD any day now. Mama has fed me for a long time in Pennington now so I can give her some bucks back for all the good she has done for me.
A few seconds past 18:00 SAST the bitcoin price was exactly 39 000.00 USD per Bitcoin for a few seconds and then rose. At 20:10 SAST Bitcoin hit 40 000 USD for a few seconds, went up to 40 250 USD and then down to 36 800 USD per coin, now at 21:12 it's back at 37 700 USD. Real roller coaster ride.
08/01/2021 This morning I woke to Bitcoin at 38 250 USD per coin. Nomvula is here today to do the domestic work. I pay her above average. It's pleasant to work with someone that is not cheeky and always has a smile unlike Siphokazi who left to work in Scottburgh last year without telling us. I predict the Bitcoin will hit 40 000 USD again per coin before end of Sunday. At 09:35 SAST it was a few dollars short of 39 000 USD per coin again. My prediction came sooner than I thought. I was having a power nap when the phone rang and Bitcoin was at 39 675 USD per coin. At 12:35 SAST Bitcoin hit 40 000 USD per coin. At 12:49 SAST it was 41 000 USD per Bitcoin. Now it's just above 41 000 USD per coin, 13:08 SAST. Looks like 50 000 USD per Bitcoin is coming sooner than I expected.
Just before I called it a day I had a kernel install on Ubuntu Linux 20.10, dkms is now correctly installed as I thought it would be but still no touchpad working on my S145, should have never reinstalled 20.10 on the 3rd December 2020 as I was just being hacked as usual with no updates coming in from the 17/12/2020 and no updates coming in since 24th December 2020 on 20.04.
09/01/2021 03:36 SAST Bitcoin hovers at 40 000 USD per coin. I had a skinny dip using my lantern this time at 04:21 whilst updating Mageai 8 Beta 2 on my 250 G5. The outside luminaires I put up in 2012 are all plug in and I did not feel like fucking around with the extension, actually I need to get hold of a double adaptor. I bought a 1000 lumens lantern last year for all the load shedding and have not used it much. I had a very good power nap now, nobody phoned me this time like the last few days. Mama is watching online Catholic Mass at the moment, it's lunchtime. Jabu always cooks me breakfast and supper for Mama as well. How Mama is suffering these last two or three months, I pray everyday that the Lord will take away her horendous pain together with the pain killers. Looks like Bitcoin will stay under 41 000 USD per coin for the weekend but one never knows especially as to what occured last Sunday. I am sure before Valentine's day Bitcoin will have reached 50 000 USD per coin.
As you know I am a novice at this Bitcoin thing and all predictions are for my information only. As of the 11/11/2020 I did not type anything for a long time till later in the year. I type I get hacked, I don't type I get hacked as well, it's so fustrating for me that of all the distro's I have installed on my S145 Ubuntu Linux 20.10 was the only one to have the touchpad to work 100% as well as Manjero I think, need to check one day, don't remember. Now I can't get the touchpad right. Of course all works on Windows 10 but I very rarely use Windows 10, since 2003 I have had Linux as my operating system of choice. Don't know why this touchpad bothers me so much as I use my MX Master 2S all the time. Of course there is nothing wrong with my Samsung Galaxy A20 other that it has a generic screen, I had problems with my Cubot Manito when I was typing this book as well. The last few days I have not had to reboot my A20, always had a problem with typing on the touch last year with my A20 after 24 hours or more.
Just noticed Bitcoin has hit 41 150 USD per coin again, 13:26 SAST. So now I have something to keep me busy during the day instead of just watching TV. I was too busy with AMPPOL IT to notice Bitcoin years back. When I made 4000 ZAR in one month when I first bought Ether and Bitcoin a family member of mine said "good buy" but now they keep sending me negative articles about Bitcoin and "what goes up must go down" so I got so nervous before I went to sleep last night that I sold 28% of my Bitcoin. It's Mama's funds after all and I don't want to be blamed for losing any. If it was my money I would just carry on and last year December I was making 250 ZAR per day average on crypto which is not bad since I have not made any money for a long time. Since I went to sleep Bitcoin has been hovering at 40 600 USD per coin. The trick is to buy in the dips and sell when Bitcoin goes up and still make a profit with the buying and selling fees. I don't just hold onto my Bitcoin and wait till it reaches 100 000 USD per coin.
09/01/2021 16:55-17:50 Herbs don't always work too well.
10/01/2021 This morning 08:20 SAST Bitcoin stands at 40 800 USD per coin. Last week I have been having headaches all day long and Jabu says it's from this Bitcoin, I think it's my BP as I feel dizzy as well but all this stress of buying and selling is taking it's toll I think. I am not doing too well this year with Bitcoin, whenever I sell it goes up and when I buy it goes down. Last night I sold 28% at 40 600 USD per coin and now at 08:52 it's 41 100 USD per coin. I will leave it at that now so if Bitcoin crashes I will not loose too much. You can loose ZAR but one still has coins.
Who would think after all these years with RPM and Red Hat 6.1 then Fedora Core then Mandrake, Mandriva and Mageia I would be with Ubuntu Linux because of this S145. I have got used to Ubuntu Linux and am quite enjoying it but I was better at RPM than DEB, even though I used Debian Buster for a long time on my 250 G5, how time flies.
So Jabu has been working every day almost in January 2021 and is quite tired at the end of the day. Normally it's a bit boring when she is not here weekends but now the Bitcoin keeps me busy. She still cooks for us after relaxing a bit after work. I was surprised she agreed to yesterdays attempted love making. Like I said the herbs did not work too well. Must be these headaches and the dizzy spells I am having. I think the BP pills are too strong as when I don't take one in the morning I am not dizzy during the day. I think it's time to consult with my online Doctors. Mama is watching online Mass again, I try work out the data so she can watch online Catholic Mass every day in the New year. Mama is doing much better now, she does not stay in bed all day long but watches some TV and makes herself breakfast and lunch as usual. I have just eaten a late breakfast of Jungle Oats which Jabu cooked this morning and am waiting to see if I get a headache. I am trying to figure out where these headaches come from then I will take my meds. 10:30 SAST, I normally eat breakfast with Jabu much earlier. 11:37 SAST so far only a tiny headache, the one day I did not have one at all so maybe today I will be lucky. I have had a good life up till now bar a few hipcups like Umzimkulu Psychc Hospital.
I predicted to myself that Bitcoin will stay around 40 200/41 000 USD per coin this weekend, will see if I am right. I am not sure if I did the right thing selling 28% yesterday. Bitcoin stays above 34 000 USD coin I am ok. I am trying to work out my profits as of today 10/01/2021 but it's very difficult with the selling and buying fees, I made so many small transactions that it would take a month of Sundays to work out. Yet I am happy that the Lord answered two of my four wishful prayers last year. I have yet to get rid of the debt collectors by paying off my debts and buy a car. I have not been on my TSR for weeks and need to start it soon, last time I wanted to start my TSR the battery was almost flat, no train smash, my bike I can start and drive without a battery. Jabu will be home soon and we will chat a bit whilst she reads Facebook non stop, shitting on me that she can't concentrate but I talk a lot which is usual.
So Bitcoin sits at 39 400 USD now per coin at 13:42 SAST. Bitcoin has dropped over 1500 USD. I am not too worried as I withdrew 28% yesterday and I need it to stay above 34 000 USD per coin at least to make me happy, I don't like it when my ZAR value goes down. But knowing Bitcoin it will soon be above 50 000 USD per coin, like I said, before Valentines day.
11/01/2021 02:06 SAST Bitcoin dropped to below 600 000 ZAR per coin during the night. It's now at 37 482 USD per coin. Ether is doing quite well this last week and is now at 19 600 ZAR per coin. I started of my crypto world with Ether. Bitcoin is now at 36 855 USD per coin at 02:52 SAST. At 08:41 my phone rang and I was woken from my power nap (must be the debt collectors again) after working all morning to find the Bitcoin price at 32 500 USD per coin. One debt collector told me "we will keep on phoning you" if I don't give them my date of birth. No train smash that Bitcoin is sitting at 33 255 USD per coin now at 09:23 SAST, it will go up during the month, below the 34 000 USD per coin I was hoping to avoid. It's the nature of Bitcoin to jump up and down. Bitcoin is back to 34 370 USD per coin at 09:38 SAST. If the Covid-19 does not get me, I will have a car soon this year which I am working hard for on this Bitcoin crypto thing. I have always had a car or super bike since I was 18. A 50 cc when I was 16. I always wanted my own truck but drove company trucks in my line of work as an electrician.
From the time I woke up at 02:06 SAST this morning I attempted to update Mangero 20 but no go. I just wanted to check if the mouse works, touchpad that is, it did work. Useless to me if Mangero does not update with some bull shit GPG data error. I then updated Debian Buster, Mageai 8 Beta 2 and PCLinuxOS Full Monty on my 250 G5, no updates since Friday on Ubuntu Linux 20.04.1 on my 250 G5. No updates on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 on my S145 this weekend and this morning. Google playstore used to have tons of updates every day now since 16th December 2020 there are few and far between.
By the end of the day Bitcoin should be back up close to 40 000 USD per coin if not 44 000 USD per coin this week. The day ends for me at 22:00 SAST each day when Jabu is watching the Bitcoin and I am sleeping. I have asked her to wake me if anything untold happens. Bitcoin is now hovering around 32 900 USD per coin, 16:38 SAST. I still have my bit of coin but my ZAR value has dropped a lot.
I don't know who I am offending that my Ubuntu Linux updates keep being held back nether mind my Google Play store. Jabu will be back just now from work and shopping for milk, bread.
18:52 SAST Bitcoin has dropped to under 30 800 USD per coin, looks my family member brought me bad luck with all the negative advice.
12/01/2021 04:02 SAST Installed Linux Mint 20.1 on my S145, WIFI works not touchpad, volume keys do not work. Updates work as of 04:42 SAST. I tried to change to a local update mirror and now I am getting a "signature" error. Fuck this, I wish Mageia worked properly on my S145. Bitcoin is back to 34 624 USD per coin at 05:51 SAST. Yes ladies and gentlemen we are back at 35 000 USD per coin at 06:00 SAST. At 35 400 USD per Bitcoin I sold another 28% and of course the price this morning just before 08:00 SAST went up to 36 200 USD per Bitcoin. Bad moves I am making this year, last year I had more luck. I think I will leave what I have now and watch the chart. At least I have made a small profit since 17/11/2020 till today.
Jabu found a taxi quickly and is at work already at 08:00 SAST. Nomvula is here today to help me with my pool for a bit. Bitcoin has been sitting around 36 000 USD per coin all morning, I was hoping it would go to 40 000 USD per Bitcoin. Time to relax now, I have been working since 04:02 SAST. The time is now 13:47 SAST. I had a Firefox update on Linux Mint 20.1 so the updates are coming in till they get hacked again. I have never used Linux Mint except in virtualbox or have quickly uninstalled it when another distro come along to try out but now I have a one TB HDD so I have plenty of space to install various distro's. I don't understand why Mageia 8 Beta 2 does not pick up my WIFI as it has the 5.10.x kernel. I would not mind have been donated a 250 G6 i5/i7 but in South Africa they only sell them with 4 Gigs of RAM AFAIK from what I gathered. I am not a gamer so I don't need a too fast machine so the S145 is right but the WIFI and touchpad keeps me busy on some distro's. If Linux Mint continues to update unlike Ubuntu Linux 20.10 and Ubuntu Linux 20.04.1 I will give it a bash even though I had one update on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 today, tzdata and Ubuntu Linux 20.04.1. Amazingly I received eight updates from the Google Play Store in the last 24 hours but that's still not right, my apps are out of date on my A20. Time for a late lunch, I am a bit busy too eat at 12:00/12:30 these days. As you know I love updates and can immediatly notice when something is amiss. These ten years with AMPPOL IT I became a download junkie and was very good with "rsync" and "wget". I downloaded tons of Linux iso images.
Jabu will be home soon, sometimes she thinks she is the Presidents daughter the way she avoids me. Other times when she is not too tired and in a good mood she is an angel. But these last two months it's difficult to kiss and hug. Only made love three or four times. When she first moved back in last year we where like on honeymoon for the first few months, madly in love. I think she is getting tired of me. She has had enough of my erectile dysfunction and says these herbs will kill me. My BP pills do not cause ED. My Doctor changed them a long time back. Lithium and Risperdal cause the shit. Jabu is still young and needs a good love making session now and again, as do most folks, like I said the other night was a disaster.
So as I type this on Linux Mint 20.1 released on the 08/01/2021, I can only install if I wake early, It's too hot in the day to sit at the laptop even though I have my fan on and sit in wet swimming gear to cool me down on my leather chair. I needed a break from Ubuntu Linux 20.10 for something new that works. Now I have Windows 10, Ubuntu Linux 20.10, Linux Mint 20.1 and Mageia 8 Beta 2 on my S145. I will soon attempt to get my touchpad to work on Linux Mint 20.1.
The Bitcoin price has been steady today at 36 000 USD but is now at 34 635 USD per Bitcoin as the USA starts business soon. 15:30 SAST.
13/01/2021 05:26 SAST Woke up late. Had a good nights sleep. Bitcoin is at 33 400 USD per coin at 06:21 SAST. To think Bitcoin was 17 770 USD per coin two months ago the 17th November 2020. Am having a hassle with my software manager on Ubuntu Linux 20.10. Will not choose a mirror and hangs. Will have to reinstall Linux Mint 20.1 again as I don't know what the fuck is going on with the updates manager, apt is corrupt. Linux Mint 20.1 otherwise looks good and the volume keys work now but I will stick with Ubuntu Linux 20.10 on my S145 as my main operating system till I get Mageia 8 Beta 2 100 % right.
Did I mention they are installing Fibre in Pennington? The cabling is going quite quick. Hard work these guys are doing in the hot weather. Soon as they are finished I will apply for Fibre.
I am not feeling too well this morning, I have swum five times but I still feel dizzy but no headache. I did not take my BP pill this morning. Maybe it is my heart like my Doctor said last year. Too much smoking, don't smoke if you are a youngster over 18 and reading this. Too late for me, I have been smoking since I was 18. I don't drink either, only a lot of tea and coffee, juice.
Bitcoin wants to go to 35 000 USD per coin now, 11:20 SAST but is battling. Like I said I am happy if Bitcoin stays above 34 000 USD per coin. To be honest I don't really know how much profit I have made over two months till we reach the 17th January 2021 but it's a shit load for me. It Bitcoin had to crash right now today I would be slightly up. As you know we are just poor simple folks and at least I am kept busy now during the day with my crypto. On the 18th of January 2021 I will decide if I should sell some more, lets hope by then crypto is up to a good price. But I like this game so I doubt if I will ever sell all my Bitcoin and Ether. Before I die I want to pay of Doctor Ndlovo's debts, buy a car and retire comfortably with a tile roof over my head, hot running water, electricity and food. A lot of times when I have a warm shower I thank God. And I thank God for my big above ground pool in this hot weather. My pool is under a huge tree so the water does not get so warm till January and February but it's so nice to have a dip early in the morning.
My last 28% sale was due to my family member's negative vibe about this crypto and I sold at the incorrect time, not Mama nor Jabu. Like I said Jabu was very excited at first with this crypto thing. But it's all I talk about now so Jabu is a bit bored with the crypto.
We are cooking one of my favourites tonight, mince and pasta, Jabu cooks the mince sauce and I cook the pasta. I like to help to cook where I can.
14/01/2021 05:26 SAST Bitcoin is at 37 408 USD per coin. Had a good nights sleep again. My Google Playstore updates are coming in (I have had 17 the last three days) and I had one update on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 via my software manager on my S145 this morning.
Before I reinstalled Ubuntu Linux 20.10 on my S145 this year because I was getting no updates, I noticed my suspend was not working when I closed the lid last year. But the touchpad was of course working since Beta. Sure sign of something amis. Real fuck up, now I can't get my touchpad to work. Lenovo did not do a very good job with Linux compatibility with the S145. It's the first machine ever that I have had that one or other Linux does not graft. Even though in Gauteng I had a couple of clients whose machines would not graft with Linux when I had AMPPOL IT.
Jabu is not in a very good mood this morning when she woke up but was feeling better during breakfast. I did not feel like eating. First time I ate today was at 12:50. Fanisile phoned me twice in the last five days and Siphokazi texted me this morning. They all looking for work. At first they where excellent at work but then lapsed and neglected to pitch up for work or came to work when they where free. So I have Nomvula now with whom Mama, Jabu and I are happy with her performance.
At 08:30 SAST Bitcoin hit 38 000 USD per coin for a second. This morning SAST Bitcoin has been hovering around 38 500 USD per coin.
My Samsung Galaxy A20 is fucked again, when Jabu was putting it down at around 21:30 on the glass bedside table she knocked the screen and the screen cracked. I did not have a screen protector as three screen protectors previously did not allow me to type properly on this Umzinto generic screen, which is the second screen I have had since January 2020. There goes some of my Bitcoin profit. Well the story ended well as we had some fun.
Bitcoin hit 40 000 USD per coin briefly at 17:35 SAST.
15/01/2021 00:00 SAST Can't sleep, trying to decide what to do with my A20. Lucky I am still online. Jabu is going to visit her mother today. She has to get up at 05:30, in less than three hours time. At 00:30 I reinstalled Ubuntu Linux 20.10 for the second time this year, still the touchpad does not work and I installed dkms correctly, fuck the touchpad worked with the Beta.
I am very tired now and will try and sleep, 04:05 SAST, just as load shedding starts. Can't sleep with all this excited of my phone screen breaking. Little things set me off and I can't sleep. I will have to have a long power nap during the day. January 2020 I dropped my A20 and now January 2021 Jabu drops it. Not her fault, she tripped over a glass.
I woke up again at 06:30 SAST. It's 10:25 SAST now and I am not feeling too tired now, Mama is watching Catholic online Mass. It will be a boring weekend without Jabu but she needs to visit her mother sometimes never mind Zack, he slept over for one night here the other week. Nomvula is here today, I sent her to buy some milk for the weekend. With these dizzy spells and headaches I don't feel like risking driving my TSR.
I spend my days more on the S145 during the day but It's really hot in my study, last night was an exception. Gone are the days when I used to wake up reguarly at 01:00/02:00 for over 15 years.
16/01/2021 04:26 SAST Had an excellent nights sleep, went to sleep at 19:00 last night. Woke up to Bitcoin at 36 512 USD per coin. 40 000 is better but as long as it stays above 36 250, I am happy. Nomvula came today to do Mama's nails and give her a proper bath, these days Mama does not want me to bath her. She says it's embarassing.
Friday we started to have load shedding again. The cell towers batteries used to last two and one half hours if fully charged. Now since Friday, if the electricity goes off there is no network as if the batteries are disconnected. Today Saturday as well. They say the load shedding will last till Sunday. But guaranteed load shedding till September 2021, on and off.
I had a nice long power nap between 13:05 and 14:15 when the electricity was off. This is total bull shit that the cell phone towers batteries are not working. I just spoke to Jabu and she comes home tomorrow.
17/01/2021 03:03 SAST I have finally managed to calculate if Bitcoin is at 40 000 USD per coin, I have made nett 23 050 ZAR profit from the 17/11/2020 till today 17/01/2021 with an initial investment of 10 000 ZAR (her bank would have given her 40 ZAR), lying on the couch or sitting in the armchair watching the screen and my smart phone. The more it drops the less profit I have but I see Bitcoin going up up up. I have given back Mama all the funds she borrowed me since 17/11/2020 for Bitcoin and Ether and she says I can keep what's left in my Bitcoin account, I will now gamble with that and hope to pay off the debt collectors fully and buy a car soon.
Bitcoin is now 36 309 USD per coin, 03:09 SAST.
18/01/2021 05:01 SAST Another good nights sleep after load shedding from 18:00 till 20:30 last night. $29.95 (USD) donation to read my book as from today.
19/01/2021 02:31 SAST Woke up tired. Being having hassles with my internet connection. Fixed now by my ISP, it was their error with all this load shedding causing a fuck up on the network.
Bitcoin is hovering around 37 000 USD per coin this morning, 04:08 SAST. Decided to install Microsoft Windows 10 patch Tuesday for January 2021, got fed up and left it installing half way through. Wasted an hour. This Microsoft is a real fuck up with updates, they take hours even on a 10th generation 8 thread, 4 core i5 CPU. Anyway fuck this I am back on Ubuntu Linux 20.10. Will sort out Windows 10 later. 05:14 SAST.
At 10:45 SAST 19/01/2021 I received my new smart phone which will come from my Bitcoin profits. I decided not to have the screen replaced for the third time at Umzinto on my A20. It was fucked anyway since the first time I dropped it in January 2020.
Had a very long day since 02:31 and retired at 18:30.
20/01/2021 03:30 SAST My Whatsapp has a couple of Gigs of media so I am downloading them now on my new smart phone. Bitcoin is at just below 36 000 USD per coin now, 04:05 SAST. Looks like we have already had the dip at 30 000 USD per coin. If Bitcoin stays at 36 000 USD per coin for a few months, I will have only made 22 000 ZAR, no car :-(
Plan on having a nice relaxing day today, woke up with headache again. Jabu works five days a week now unless they need her on weekends as well.
This Covid-19 is quite bad, the folks are dying like flies. Mama went to see her Doctor yesterday, he prescribed her some morphine patches. Let's hope the morphine patches work. Mama has really been suffering these last months with pain.
06:00 SAST Still waiting for Whatsapp to finish, is at 80%.
21/01/2021 00:03 SAST Woke up a bit early this morning to the Bitcoin price at 35 000 USD per coin, no good, I was hoping Bitcoin would be at 45 000 USD by now.
01:25 SAST Thought I would give the touchpad another go on Ubuntu Linux 20.10, S145, this time I have the touchpad working. Had to edit GRUB.
01:44 SAST feeling a bit tired and headache, not used to waking up so early. 02:22 SAST going back to sleep.
I started off with Ether and then sold most of it for Bitcoin when Ether did not make much profit, look at it now, I first bought Ether for 626 USD per coin, now it stands at 1318 USD per coin, 05:42 SAST. Bitcoin has dropped to 34 443 USD per coin this morning and during the day dropped further to around 32 500 USD per coin this afternoon.
22/01/2021 03:42 SAST At 04:00 SAST Bitcoin has dropped to 30 058 USD per coin, to think Bitcoin was at 42 000 USD per coin just the other day. I still believe Bitcoin will be above 50 000 USD per coin before or on 14/02/2021. I still have a profit even though when Bitcoin price falls my profit is less.
So far so good with my new smart phone, I just need a cover and screen protector which I will obtain this week. I will let you know later what it is. Was very tired last night and must have gone to bed at 18:30 with a terrible headache. Jabu brought me some Disprin. I have been popping pain killers like crazy these last two weeks, never in my life have I had such headaches. Jabu says it's because I am not taking Lithium anymore as G.J. Crookes Pharmacy does not have stock these last two months. I have been on Lithium since 2003. My friend from the USA who is a pharmacist confirmed just now that it is likely a lack of Lithium.
Nomvula is here today to do her weekly cleaning. She bought us some potatoes which cost me R70.00 and cost R130.00 at the nearby store.
It was 32 C in the house today, we had frozen pizza for supper. Went to sleep at 19:00.
23/01/2021 00:44 SAST Woke up with a headache again, fuck this. Mageai 8 Beta 2 will not update, will try again later. Bitcoin is at 33 100 USD per coin at 01:34 SAST, that makes me happy at least. The cost of food is terrible, I don't know how some families manage on 1840 ZAR per month, little meat. At 01:56 I went for a swim. The water is lovely, my headache subsides for a while after being in the cool water. I used my lantern again in the pitch black night.
I asked my Doctor more than a month ago to give me a private script for Lithium but she obviously forgot.
Today will be another scorcher with an expected temperature of 34 C.
With the Bitcoin price below 33 000 USD per coin my profit is down to 19 980 ZAR right now from 23 050 ZAR a few days ago. I will laugh at the doomsday profits when Bitcoin hits 150 000 USD per coin.
Basically had a terrible day with a headache all day long except early morning when Jabu and I made love.
Went to bed at 21:02 and I don't know if I slept or just lay there day dreaming.
23:33 SAST This Bitcoin thing has become boring, did not make a lot of bucks fast enough for what I needed it for. Will leave Bitcoin as it is now at around 32 000 USD per coin. I am tired of watching the chart and screen for over two months now, I need to make at least 30 000 ZAR per month to live and retire comfortably with my family.
Fuck this, mother fuckers, son of bitches get me hooked on drugs then they don't have stock of my meds at G.J. Crookes Hospital these last months, in the begining there where no problems with stock, anyway thank you and next time fuck you.
Made a fuck up with my screen protector which I put on my smart phone this morning, my headache was so bad I could not see straight, it's slightly skew.
24/01/2021 00:00 SAST Here we are again, will I be manic soon or not because lack of meds from G.J. Crookes Hospital Pharmacy. Good start today, did not sleep much yesterday except for one hours power nap and a bit at night.
00:05 SAST Time to continue my movie on Netflix, nah don't feel like it, let me go sit with Jabu and make her some tea and my special brew of coffee for me. Went to sleep at 02:10 and woke at....
24/01/2021 06:53 SAST Did not take my meds last night nor this morning, no headache so far. Even though I did pray that my headache would go away so the Lord answered. Mageia 8 Beta 2 is doing fine so is Ubuntu Linux 20.10 on my S145. Headache free lazy, sleepy day. Went to sleep at 20:10 and woke at 23:16, had three power naps during the day. 23:45 going to boot into Windows 10, apparently there is an update.
25/01/2021 00:00 SAST Busy with Windows 10. Did not stay long. No updates on Ubuntu Linux 20.04.1 and Ubuntu Linux 20.10 this weekend, here we go again. Mageai 8 Beta 2 always is busy with updates. Slept too much yesterday so am not tired now. 01:24 SAST.
10:18 SAST A rainy morning at last. 16:37 SAST still no updates on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 on my S145
25/01/2021 03:26 SAST 13 updates on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 on my S145 and 7 updates on my smart phone.
05:00 SAST Reboot S145 to check if the GRUB update did not fuck up my touchpad.
26/01/2021 07:25 SAST Nomvula came to clean the pool.
27/01/2021 04:26 SAST Since the 17/11/2020 have made 13 050 ZAR profit on my crypto. The rest of the funds are still in crypto and go up and down as the Bitcoin price changes. Bitcoin is now 32 126 USD per coin at 04:55 SAST. So my crypto craze is over as Bitcoin has been sitting steady for the last days around 32 000 USD per coin. I am going for Ether now.
Woke up with a headache as usual. I might have developed diabetes due to lack of Lithium.
09:45 SAST Went to have my blood sugar tested and my BP. My blood sugar is 5.6 and my BP was 180/100, fuck at least I don't have diabetes.
All day long I have had a terrible headache, I feel as if I can go manic anytime now. 18:25 SAST, just can't take it, it's worse than Saturdays headache, at least Saturday Jabu was here. She went to her mothers today after work till Thursday evening. Fuck this bipolar disorder. My online Doctor said just now that I should double my dose of BP pills.
20:00:44 SAST Can't sleep. The headache is gone but now the tiredness has set in. I have dimmed my screen a bit and sitting with low lumens. Oh Lord why have you forsaken me. Why am I a hermit almost these last two years. I don't even go to the beach. Today was the first time I went out in a long time. I used to enjoy riding my bike to Scottburgh to visit Mama. As I listen to the rain I wait till I am very tired or 00:00 whichever comes first. I will have you know I was a tax payer for around thirty years. Now all I get is emails and SMSes reminding me to pay my debts. Gone are the days with Carina where we used to eat out and dance three times a week. Jabu loves me very much but is just too tired to show it sometimes, she did not even text me today and ask how I am feeling.
21:48 SAST I have decided to sell most of my crypto, fuck this I am not going to wait forever for a car. At least I made a profit from 17/11/2020 till today 27/01/2021 of 18 050 ZAR. I left a bit in crypto, I am really tired of watching the screen all day long, I will now spend my days sleeping and watching TV, fat chance of getting a job at my age and believe me I have tried almost everything, even typing this fucking ebook.
22:22 SAST Bored, waiting till 00:00. My tooth has been hurting since before Christmas but I don't feel like a fucking extraction now. Eventually fell asleep.
28/01/2021 04:23 SAST Woke up feeling fresh this morning. Not much of a headache yet. Rained all night, I wonder how full is the pool. So I will not be getting a car before 14th February 2021 nor will I pay off all my debts, Bitcoin did not shoot up as I expected to 150 000 USD per coin.
The weather will be cool today and tomorrow with rain. No swimming. My tooth still hurts. Fuck these fags which have fucked up my teeth.
I have never had such hassles with updates as I have with Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux, Ubuntu Linux keeps not been able to find the update server. Mageai is still the top distro in the world.
29/01/2021 03:00 SAST Friday rkhunter shows five rootkits on Ubuntu Linux 20.10. Updated Mageai 8 Beta 2 on S145, still no WIFI.
Ears are blocked this morning from stress. Woke up with a headache. Took some pain killers. Drinking Rooibos tea from yesterday. Nomvula is coming to work today. Will kick start the TSR today, I should really do it every week. When Nomvula was covering the TSR she saw two harmless non venomous snakes. She was quite afraid.
30/01/2021 04:43 SAST Looking for a car. Hope I don't buy a dud. Terrible headache again when I woke, went for a swim and the headache is a bit better. I am not feeling too well these last weeks so I am not typing much. All my updates are working.
If you are installing a Linux operating system for the first time alongside Windows 10 It's best to make a / and /home partition. So if the Linux OS goes south your home is restored. It's best to try out a live Linux OS like Ubuntu Linux to see if it works on your machine.
Today on 30/01/2021 at 13:35 SAST I bought a car. My first car since since 5th December 2012. If it was not for crypto I would not have been able to buy the car. I made a mistake in February 2013 and bought a motorcycle even though for the first three and one half years the TSR rode well. When Jabu came back from Umzinto I took her for a drive. No more carrying 10 kg up the hill from the store to our house, now we have a car. And now we can shop at Checkers in Scottburgh again, much cheaper.
31/01/2021 00:05 SAST Woke up rather early. Started by updating Mageai 8 Beta 2 on my 250 G5.
I purchased the car at a good price so it has a bit of work to do. The mechanic fixed the lights and brake lights today. Wednesday he will replace the brake pads, I hope the discs are not fucked because they grind when one brakes.
02/02/2021 08:35 SAST Tried to start my car, battery is dead.
03/02/2021 02:20 SAST The aircon in my car had to be disconnected as it turns on by itself and drains the battery, will have to repair that as well as two electric windows that don't work, the car is full house.
05/01/2021 00:02 SAST 2021-02-03 02:50:21 status installed ca-certificates:all 20210119~20.10.1, last update on Ubuntu Linux 20.10.
06/02/2021 04:45 SAST No updates on Ubuntu Linux 20.04 and 20.10 for a few days now. Playstore has plenty of updates because my book has been offline. 09:19 we have had load shedding since 08:00, waiting for the mechanic to arrive.
07/02/2021 03:05 SAST Mageia 8 RC is released. Went to fill up with petrol and to Rocky bay. It's been so hot these last few days. Tomorrow is supposed to be rain and cooler.
08/02/2021 03:26 SAST My headaches have subsided these last few days, not so intense because I am back on Lithium. Bitcoin is doing well this last weekend between 38 000 and 40 000 USD per coin. At 15:00 SAST Bitcoin suddenly shot up to 44 500 USD per coin over an hour.
09/02/2021 01:50 SAST Bitcoin now sits at 46 125 USD per coin. 02:38 SAST Bitcoin is at 47 038 USD per coin. Ether is not doing too well. I don't have much Bitcoin left over so I have only made 2000 ZAR in the last eighteen hours. I first sold 1000 ZAR yesterday morning at 38 500 USD per coin and then the rest from 15:00 SAST till now. Always when I sell the Bitcoin value goes up, fuck. It's a big gamble as Bitcoin can go the other way anytime. 12:22 SAST new kernel update for Ubuntu Linux 20.10. I missed 42 now on 43.
10/02/2021 04:20 SAST Had a good nights sleep and did not wake with a headache. Went to sleep at 19:30 last night. It's either too hot or too cold in this cabin. Winter is slowly coming in as the sun rises later.
13/02/2021 04:01 SAST Have not been feeling too well these last two days with my abdomen giving me trouble. Terrible pain in the lower left side. Bitcoin hit 48 000 USD per coin the other day. I am a bit depressed as I don't have much Bitcoin left. Jabu is working this weekend. My car has gone in for a service and to fix the aircon.
14/02/2021 PM SAST Zack came to visit. Like I said he is a man now and does not enjoy hanging out with madala too much.
15/02/2021 02:24 SAST Woke up early for a change, yesterday I woke at 06:30. Can't wait to get my car back even though it was not such a thrill when I bought it. Mama is not feeling too well these last five days with her mania. She is starting to get ill again. After all these months lying in bed at first and then watching some TV and not leaving the property she is going nuts. The surgeon recons that a second op on her fractured humerus might not be succesfull. Mama is taking strong pain killers which last only for a hour. I am basically typing this book for myself even though a lot of people read it but are too tight arse to even make a $5 donation. 03:15 SAST I went for a skinny dip and bought some more Bitcoin, a small amount, I need to save bucks to repair my car. This time I am going to leave my Bitcoin as is till it reaches 150 000 USD per coin. Zack is sleeping in the family room so I can't update my Mageai 8 RC this morning. Those who invested 10 000 ZAR in Bitcoin 10 years ago are millionaires now. It's so hot let me go for another swim.
18/02/2021 It's my birthday today. Jabu cooked some beef breyani. Delicious.
09/03/2021 10:35 Tuesday. These erectile dysfunction herbs have not been working too well and I have a problem with my blood pressure so I am sacred to take them. I get up late these days and sleep at 22:00. Saturday we drove to Scottburgh but did not make it. The water hose in my car fucked out. Mark Pillay from Umdoni Village Pennington really sold me a piece of shit after telling me the car is mechanically sound. Brake pads where fucked so was the wiper motor, Mark said I just needed a headlight lamp but the whole electrical front and rear system was fucked, my mechanic worked for five hours on it. The tires I never noticed turned out to be cracked and I had to replace two. Lucky the engine was not damaged when the car over heated. The aircon was fucked and needed to be repaired. I sorted out the rust. I was so eager to buy a car with my Bitcoin money that I bought the first thing that came along. I have sold all my Bitcoin now to pay for the car repairs. I wanted to purchase some Bitcoin two Saturday's ago when the price was 44 500 USD per coin and today it was 54 400. I have a better chance of finding a job now that I have a car, once the car is fixed I need to start looking. My Doctor says I need to come in to GJC for a chest x-ray, ECG and blood tests. I can't walk further than a 100m and I am out of breath. At least if I have lung cancer I will die with a car. Mama is feeling better today but on Sunday she and Jabu where really fighting.
11/03/2021 07:30 Mr P the mechanic pics me up to fetch my car, it broke down last Saturday with a broken water hose. He also sorted out the wipers and adjusted the handbrake. Seems to be a very nice Indian chap and charged me a reasonable price of R1500. I have spent more than I expected on this car. But at least I have got 4 wheels. Mama is a bit ill and does not want me to drive her around yet. That was the main objective to buy the car. I went to G.J. Crookes and all hell broke loose. I received my file quickly and my meds after one pharmacist did not want to give them to me.
The I went to the Dentist. My blood pressure was too high so the Dentist sent me to get some pills to lower my BP. Stupid bitch patient sitting there said I was pushing in but the Dentist told me to go in and get the pills. Anyway fuck her the cow. I had to have two teeth extracted, the injections where rather painful by the female African Dentist who was quite pleasant. Then she started to extract but there was not enough aneathstetic so she gave me some more. I had two infections and though I would hit the roof with the pain. I clenched my fist as she quickly extracted my teeth. I was supposed to go to The post office and Checkers but I was bleeding and in great pain so I drove straight home. At home the pain subsided. I pray I don't get a dry socket as one is not supposed to smoke after extractions.
12/03/2021 02:10 SAST Woke up early for a change. Let me boot into Windows 10 and do a patch Tuesday. Took fucking three hours to update Windows 10, fuck what an OS, did a BIOS update as well. Thank God for Linux. I was pissed off with the atmosphere at home and picked up Jabu from work and we went to Checkers to do some shopping. Of course Mama bitched that I bought 10kg rice. What an unpleasant vibe at home with Mama being ill. Jabu and I also went for prawns on special at John Dory's. It was nice to get away from the house. My car is still using too much water even though when we came back from Scottburgh the car only used half the water tank of water. So I should make it to GJC on Monday, God willing. Jabu has gone to Umzinto today to do her hair, I hope she comes back early.
15/03/2021 11:45 SAST Left for G.J Crookes Hospital to see my Doctor. She examined me with a stethoscope and said my heart is beating a bit fast. She prescibed some pills for me and at the same time did my pysch pills. I was a bit early at Crookes just after 12:00 so had to wait till 13:08. For 45 ZAR I had a chest X-ray which was very quick then went for bloods and an ECG. The sister that took my bloods did it in such a way that I did not even feel the needle go in. The ECG was done in the same room and the sister even gave me a hand up off the bed when she was finished. I then went to the Pharmacy and a very pleasant Indian pharmacist helped me again with my meds. Whilst I was waiting for the bloods my Doctor walked past and looked at the X-ray and said my lungs are a bit elevated and gave me some breathing excercises to do. God bless her. I had a very good afternoon at Crookes. My nerves are rected though because my car is using 300ml of water per 15km. My mechanic in Park Rynie says the head needs to be skimmed for 4500 ZAR buy my mechanic friend in JHB told me to do the condom test on the radiator and days it's not the head cylinder so what the fuck now. It's 22:10 now and I cannot sleep.
18/03/2021 05:08 SAST Have already brewed my coffee. Today is Jabu's birthday. After work she is going to iNkompo to spend her birthday with her mother who is alone now during the day as Zack has gone to Durban to study at Rosebank College for a year. Happy birthday Jabu and thanks for all the delicious cooking these last months. Mama complains a lot these last two months and it is difficult to have a decent conversation with her. She will be eighty in April. Yesterday she broke one of my fridges drawers as the margarine was to heavy for her, I told her to call me when she needs help. I make Rooibos tea for her all day long when I am at home. My car drives well but looses 300 ml of water every 15 km. It's going in again to a different mechanic soon to get a second opinion as my mechanic friend says it's not the head gasket as per the condom test he told me to do. Jabu is only coming back Friday afternoon so I will miss chatting with her. Wednesday's we eat macaroni and mince so she made enough sauce for today as well. I as usual cooked the macaroni. Ubuntu Linux 20.10 is giving me hassles again with the suspend when I close the lid like it did last year, I hope I don't have to reinstall again like I did last year. Mageai 8 WIFI will not work at all on my S145 even though Mageia 8 is all updated. Sunday Jabu and I went to the beach for two hours. I have a real Lithium sunburn. It still burns today. It's nice to swim in the warm tidal pool. I am a bit nervous when 21.04 is released whether it will work on my S145. Jabu asked me to take her to work at 07:10, I hen went and bought some wors and went to the kiosk for a milk shake at 08:00. My Bitcoin money is running out. What a terrible evening I had with Mama, I took 4,5m g Rivitrol to calm down, I was really stressed, the bitch just carried on and on moaning and reminding of my past faults. Fuck I have had enough of this. I almost chocked on my peanut butter and bread sammies for supper. At least in Ethembeni they used to let one eat in peace. Now Mama does not like Jabu's cooking, she says there is too much oil in the gravy and she does not like Imana gravy which I love. At least I fell asleep quickly with all the Rivitrol and fell asleep around 20:00. With Jabu we chat so nicely, Jabu and I that is.
Did I mention my ECG was fine but my heart beats a bit fast and I have elevated lungs so I have to do breathing exercises and walk a bit. My blood test are not back yet.
At 05:00 I started to upgrade from 20.10 to 21.04 Beta Ubuntu Linux. Fucking suspend when I close the lid still does not work all else seems fine.
19/03/2021 03:41 SAST Load shedding so I waited for the power to come on, I did not fell like using the gas. Nomvula is coming today so we might have some piece in the house. Last night I just felt like sticking a knife in my throat, I have had enough of Mama's shit over the last three months. When Jabu is not here Mama is worse. Mama keesp saying I spend all her money but I just pay the bills and do grocery shopping and buy Coca Cola once in a while. Oh Lord please look after me, I can't take this nervous tension no more. At least Jabu comes home tonight but she is working this weekend. 04:50 SAST Yes ladies my Ubuntu Linux 20.10 installation is fucked, it just froze, I have not been using it much lately. Fuck operating systems, I never had these hassles with Mandriva in Johannesburg nor Debian on desktops I designed myself.
20/03/2021 03:00 SAST Woke up early again, see on Gumtree that my car same model is going for 59 990 ZAR in very good condition with more millage, Jabu only told me at the beach yesterday at 16:15 that Monday is a bank holiday so I don't know if my appointment with my mechanic is still on. Took me fucking three months to find an electrician and now I am battling to find an auto mechanic for a second opinion. Tired of sitting think I will upload and continue watching my movie on the couch, not much to do these days without Bitcoin. 04:36 SAST Changed my mind and watched some porno but it does not excite me since I am back on Lithium, only Jabu excites me. Finally got hold of the mechanic. Jabu does not want to sit with me much in front at the TV room and listen to Mama's nonsense. It's hot in our bedroom as it is west facing and bears the full brunt of th eafteroon son. I fell asleep at around 13:00 on our bed and Jabu woke me ruffling through her clothes when she came back from work. She is too tired to make love when she comes back from work so we just kissed and hugged a bit. She went to bed early and I retired at 21:00 and woke at.....
21/03/2021 02:21 SAST Good morning, maybe the mania is creeping in again. I only slept just over five hours. Just a ten days ago I was sleeping ten hours. Shit load of updates on Ubuntu Linux 21.04 Beta, took a few minutes. Like I said the more one uses any operating system the problems one will pick up that's why I installed Ubuntu Linux 21.04 Beta the other day after the freeze, could have been my browser, anyway. I use a different browser for different functions so I don't get cross infected. The heart pills I am taking now also cause impotence, great. I want my car to be over and done with and be fixed so I can see where I stand a buy some Bitcoin. Fuck I should have bought some Bitcoin at 44 500 USD per coin the other Saturday, now it stand at 58 000 USD per coin. The only hasle I see with my Ubuntu Linux 21.04 Beta installation so far is the dock is slighly greyed out and over lapping. I temp solved it by un auto hiding the dock and hiding it.I see now one can use different power modes. I have been thinking of Marion Jordaan and her paedophile grandson a bit lately who Shane is sitting in jail. Marion and I go way back to must be 2014, she was very friendly and used to help Mama out a lot when I was in hospital and give me lifts from Pennington to Checkers, then one day she wanted Mama to stay over at her house for four days and look after her fucking cat. I was not happy with that as Mama does not have a cell phone and does not want one. So Marion said in October last year must have been leave it I will not go on the retreat Mama does not have to after the house. Imagine that, asking someone to house sit who has only use of one arm. I think of Marion as sometimes I see her driving up our road and see her parked at the kiosk by the beach. Big Christian Marion is, more like the devil. I wonder how Shane is keeping, he used to visit me sometimes before going to jail. I am sure he enjoys it there as he is gay. He must be twenty six years old now but had the mind of a sixteen year old poor guy. He did not actually have sex with children but passed on video's and pics of children being raped. Interpol bust him. Jabu says I must not take Mark Pillay to court (the guy I bought my Elanta from) as these Indians have connections and he is an armed security guard. Mark seems to be very pleasant and even came out to my house when my car was running on two cylinders. But fuck I have a lot of problems with this car and have had many cars, never a new one but not such a fucked up one as this before I fixed it up. So far I purchased the Elantra for 28 000 ZAR and up till today it has cost me 39 470 ZAR. It's so nice to have a car, I have not driven more than 300 km with it yet. All this financial advice I receive from my family members has been a total fuckup. Mama's sister in Warsaw wants Mama to come back to Warsaw now, Mama will have no medical aid and her pension will be worth fuck all. Like I said I will die here unless I win the lotto and move to the South of France where there is no fucking load shedding. My schoolboy French is a bit rusty though. I thought of buying a generator but it makes a racket.
Strange last night at 20:16 I sent an email to my Aunt and Uncle in New Zealand asking how my cousin Dominic Pawinski is. I had not heard from him in a while on Messenger. My aunt replied this morning SAST that he had passed away at 03:00 Ghana time from liver complications. May your soul rest in peace Dom, we had such good times together. He did not have money to be treated in hospital in Ghana. Even though last year he must have had some bucks as he was on a drip. He was the only member of the family on May 18th 2013 to congratulate me on my marriage to Jabu at around 09:00 SAST but we where married at 11:00. See you in heaven Dom, give me a sign that you are ok, love you. Dominic and I spent many good times together, in 1986 if I remember correctly we went to Port St John's in the Transkei. My VW Fox got stuck in the long grass and a kind farmer with a tractor pulled us out. We BBQ'ed grayfish. On our return to Johannesburg Dominic rolled my car between Aliwal North and Queestown. Poor guy he said when he makes his millions he will buy me a car, his projects did not work out too well, he had a really tough life from twenty year and on. I took some oil and burnt it at the side of the narrow road, a truck driver took us to Queenstown. Dominic had a slight cut to his head and I was uninjured. The local hospital let us sleep over. Mama and her friend came to fetch us and twenty four hours later at night, the last wheel of a 24 wheeler truck hit the car with Mama, her friend and Dominc and I in the car. Mama's friend had his foot badly severed, I don't remember how we got back to Johannesburg after that. Things seem to happen in two's to me so I hope nobody dies next in the family. Must have been 2010 Dominic stayed at Mama's house with me for eleven months whilst I was running AMPPOL IT Linux CD's & DVD's. Dominic was a great cook so he helped Mama cook. Dominic's mother sent 500 ZAR per month whilst Dominic was staying with us for food. I as usual used to crash at 20:00 and he spent the evening chatting with Mama. There is more to follow but I am very tired now with the stress of Mama and the car. I feel quilty that during those eleven months Dom used to make me tea and coffee all the time and used to roll me Best Blend hand rolled fags. We once repired my above ground pool with 40 mm plumbers pipe, he had a different design in mind but we used mine. The above ground pools would not last long in Randburg after a hail storm and a season. We had a wonderfull Xmas whilst Mama was away, I don't remember where. We cooked a turkey and the next day his friend came with beers and turkey. I had one or two beers. We did not go out much as I was running AMPPOL IT Linux CD's & DVD's.
22/03/2021 14:30 SAST drove to Checkers for Easter shopping as I don't know when my car will be back from the mechanic, spent some time on the beach at Scottburgh. How nice to get away from Pennington and this shit hole house with all the stress. 22:49 time to watch Channel O uncensored. Can't sleep and fell asleep on the couch watching TV woke up again at 01:05 on the 23/03/2021, one night I can sleep the other not. I might have a nervous breakdown soon. I only slept seven hours in 48 but ...
23/03/2021 I went to sleep at 21:00 and woke at 06:00, thank fuck for that, I am not going bonkers yet.
24/03/2021 08:30 SAST took my car in too the second mechanic. It's the head gasket. Poes Mark Pillay of Umdoni Village Pennington and he is an armed response security guard, very fucking honest, (first he told me he owns a security company) sold me a piece of shit. My bike mechanic told me he would never buy a car from an Indian and the tow truck driver said the same, they are both Indians. The Indian staff at G.J. Crookes have been very good to me especially when I was in G2 there was one very pleasant Indian Sister (She always used to ask me how I was) and so is Sister P of the Pennington clinic, have not seen her for a long time. 20:01 SAST just had a shit load of updates, I love Beta's and from past experience Ubuntu Linux Beta's do not fuck out but I will reboot soon just in case. Hopefully my car will be ready by Easter. Just the shocks to be done. I purchased my Hyandai Elantra 2005 1.6 GLS for 28 000 ZAR, to date it has cost me 39 670 ZAR including the 28K. It will end up costing me 50K if the comptuer or gearbox don't fuck out. I told Mama to purchase a car last year August for 60K but she and a family member they said no. Fuck why am I always right. I am not making any bucks now as like I said I only have 89 ZAR crypto left over. Thank fuck I receive 350 ZAR a month for fags from the ANC government but it will end in May I think. Looks like it's going to be one night or two no sleeping and the third night sleep when I am exhausted like I was last night. Mama poured some water in the bath for me and Jabu gave me a back/neck massage in the bath. I am mostly vila (isiZulu for lazy) like Nomvula says. I am listening to heavy metal now from the TV room. Mama is in bed. She pissed me off just now and asked me if I am going to sleep. Poor Mama she was very depressed in December but now she is mildly manic. I became vila in this poes plass Pennington with no employment and the lethargy caused by the pills. Mama wants me to rake the leaves, I have no interest in gardening even though when we first moved into Pennington I had a veggie garden, spinach, lettuce and chili, that's what the monkeys did not eat fucking pests. Like I said in Randburg I once had fifty three tomatoe shrubs. I hope this Covid-19 takes the whole world down, not really I enjoy life and stress gives me a kick and something to do. Jabu is at her mother's tonight, she will spend one night a week at her mother's every week to get a break from this shit, she just can't take it anymore. A family member asked what she contributes, fuckall except of dragging 10 kg up the hill when the car is fucked and cooking after sometimes working seven days a week and giving me a BJ when she is not tired. The first BJ she ever gave me was on the beach down from Botha';s house years and years ago. Once this piece of shit Elantra is fixed I want to purchase a K9 and do my cardio excercises on the beach with the K9. I miss my K9's and fuck I miss Mabula, Dikholo, Kruger Park, Pilgrims Rest, Graskop and Sabie. Tata when he was alive and was an Electrical Engineer in a high position during the aparheid era and said there will be a fuck up with the electricity, now we are to have five years of load shedding. I don't know what is worse apartheid or the ANC, they both fucked up everything. Stupid bitch Dlamini banned fags and it cost a fortune to purchase illegal fags last year as it did most South africans so they can arrest all the smokers. So I laugh at Krysia she said we would die like flies here but the third wave has hit Poland, stupid racist bitch together with Ewa.
Anyway I will end up spending 50K on the Elantra if the computer or gearbox does not fuck out next, God forbid. On the 30/01/2021 I purchased it with 180 615 on the clock, today it has 180 900 odd. But it's a pleasure to have a car after eight years. Fuck what a pleasure. All my life till 5th December 2021 I always had a car. Come to think of it the TSR was not too bad, it never once broke down on the road, always broke down at home, Chinese shit. I have yet to find a watchmaker to repair my thirty year old Seiko, made in Japan. Those where the days. Even though my Chinese designed and made in China Cubot Manito Cell ohone is still working and will be three years old in July. One just can't get batteries for them, only on eBay. 21:54 SAST let me upload and reboot, my uptime is 5 days 14 hours. Housten we have a problem my one browser takes a long time to open and Firefox hung a bit so does Opera, hmmm unlike Ubuntu Linux. Let me try again 21:35 SAST Maybe a reboot will help, I never had any problems with Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta. Had to reboot could not upload will try again. 21:40 SAST Reboot helped, will monitor, Beta's should not be used on production machines.
So Mageai 8 is fucked with me on my S145, only Ubuntu Linux 20.10-21.04 Beta, Linux Mint and Mangero work as well as Fedora 33. Fuck I am disappointed with Mageia 8, works fine on my 250 G5 the final 8. Ubuntu Linux 21.04 Beta can fuck out any time but I always have Windows 10 in an emergency. Actually let me boot into Windows 10 and see what's cutting, no I don't feel like i am too vila. I am Jesus Christ of Nazerth, just fucking with you I am not manic yet but am heavily stressed and possible have very very very mild mania. Some nice ebony ingquza, on the porn site, just checking if Opera is working. Fuck I don't know how to fix this suspend bug. Like I said first time I ever purchased a laptop where Linux does not work properly ie the S145, fuck Lenovo and the first time in my life I purchased apre owned piece of shit car. Pennington is cursed for me except Mama and Jabu. I saw the poes at the shops the other day who tied my headlight of my TSR with a string, he said "kaffir" in front of me a couple of years back when he came to look at my bike, his name was Evan. There where also racial over tones in Scottburgh the other day when I was with Mama by somebody else. On my death I have instructed Jabu to cremate me, keep half my ashes and chuck the rest into the ocean off BJ rock even though the Catholic's don't like the ashes to be split, I have no interest in the family grave in Warsaw, Dorota fucked that up for me. Come to think of it I don't think I will ever hear from Kasia and Pawel my kids ever again. Nomvula says she is my daughter and calls me dad. I can hear Mama snoring, I don't know why she is manic if she sleeps well. Let me go brew some coffee, 23:40 SAST. I have been taking too much Rivitrol these last few days and my saliva runs and sometimes breaks my fags.
25/03/2021 00:17 SAST Automatic suspend works on my Ubuntu Linux 21.04 Beta. Fuck this the Bitcoin price is too high but I am going to purchase some anyway. A small amount and this time leave it till Bitcoin hits over 70 000 USD per coin. At least I will have something to do. 00:50 SAST let me upload and go watch TV or come back and type some more, hold on I have not finished with Dominic yet let me go back to him, scroll up. 01:13 SAST. Every time I purchase this fucking Bitcoin a hour or so later it falls. I purchased at 52 415 USD per Bitcoin and now the cunt sits at 52 049. just now it was 51 980 USD per Bitcoin. I hope Musk knows what's he is doing. I am downloading Manjero 21..... and when I have slept well will install it again.04:05 SAST, I have a feeling I made a fuck up upgrading to Ubuntu Linux 21.04 Beta. I must make some bucks and Bitcoin is the only gamble, it paid of last year with an ill spent result of a fucked up car. Fucking bitch has gone below 52 000 USD per coin again, figures. Yes Ubuntu Linux Beta 21.04 is totally fucked up on my S145. So at 05:10 I reinstalled Ubuntu Linux 20.10. So far so good expect the suspend when the lid is closed. Can only be something to do with the /home dir.
21:25 SAST Installed Manjero 21, will see how long it will last, Manjero 20 was a failure for me with updates. Tried to fall asleep at 20:15 but am thinking too much about my car. Eventually retired at 22:22.
26/03/2021 03:55 SAST When the lid is closed on the S145 the suspend does not work either on Manjero 21, will have to check on Windows 10 if it's the Lenovo S145 giving hassles. Will try out Manjero 21 KDE Plasma for a few days. Not so used to KDE only on my 250 G5 with Mageia 8. Bitcoin is sitiing at 52 143 USD per coin. The "gamble" is on again, I have a fraction of Bitcoin. It's quite easy using KDE Plasma, spent most of my computer days using KDE. The touchpad does not work on Manjero 21 as well as my new Ubuntu Linux 20.10 install but that I know how to sort out now.
05:33 SAST Well maybe I have a car now, like I said it's in the workshop will next week. It's wonderfill having five wheels. Once my Elantra is fixed up I pray it does not give me anymore hassles. But the more I pray the more hassles I get. I pray mostly in my above ground pool. The spell check does not work in Manjero 21 as in PCLinuxOS, fuck, even though I sometimes don't care a fuck about my spelling. I just made Jabu a cup of tea, she is going to work early today as she has guests coming.
Ubuntu Linux and Mangero do not come with a firewall installed by default like Mageia and PCLinuxOS so one has to fuck around installing a firewall. It's raining now for a change, yesterday a bit of rain. Lets hope by Easter I have my car back and the weather is good, I would like to spend my time on the beach with Jabu after she finishes work. Time for another cup of coffee even though my Doctor told me not to drink so much tea and coffee. I will not be doing my cardio walk in the rain today.
10:30 SAST Nomvula is here to do the house work. Mama is still moderatly manic. She pinched me till almost blood. 15:45 Mama goes to see Doctor Vach, he prescribes her a sleeping tablet and tells Mama she should sell the house. Last time the Doctors had that bright idea and Mama moved into SummerHill Lodge for two years we could not sell the house and I was on razors edge. Strange i was right again, lucky I did not go to university. Fuck Mangero 21 spell check. Tomorrow Mr P is taking Mama at 08:30 to Scottburgh and to get her script. I really wish I went to university then I could be the President's son. Now I am just a big boss with a fucked up car. Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ, he will get me through this as well. Like I said I have never had such bad luck in my life as I have had in Pennington.
The Bitcoin price is hold steady between 52 500 and 53 800 USD per coin.
Tomorrow Jabu goes shopping for her mother and us in Umzinto. I need socks for the winter and two chickens, Checkers did not have. Today Jabu carried 8kg of groceries up the hill from the local store. I am a bit dissapointed as it's her weekend off, I prefer to spend my time with her. Mr B my third car mechanic did not get back to me today as promised, fuck what reliable contacts I had in Johannesburg.
27/03/2021 03:50 SAST Had a good nights sleep. Am excited about Mangero 21 KDE Plasma. It's always a fag then my brewed filter coffee which is ready now. I remember in the good old days Mandriva had YAWP, a very accurate weather widget. Gone are those days for a weather widget in South Africa, Parrot only used to show Durban.
Bitcoin has gone up 2200 USD per coin since I bought a slice. Now sits at 54 736 USD per coin. Jabu says don't buy and sell now just wait.
My S2 lasts for days and days without a charge, I see it's now 55% full, will need a charge today.
It's going to be a pleasant morning this morning. Mama is going for a ride with Mr P to Scottburgh to get some fresh sea air on the beach. Jabu will catch the 08:00 taxi and Mama is leaving at 08:30.
So it's goodbye Mageia 8 except on my 250 G5, I will miss you. From the Mandrake days till the last quarter of 2020 I used Mageia as my main OS. Debian was still the best OS on my server in Randburg and very easy to install, Manjero is a bit of a mission to install with the /boot/efi. I had to guess a few times during install. It's a bit tricky to install when one has multiple OSes installed on one machine. I wonder what's Dominic doing right now. Time for some tea now. 04:47 SAST. Really these are fucked up OSes they bring out now, gee I yearn for Mageai 8. After Mama and Jabu are gone I will boot into Mageis 8 on my 250 G5. It takes a bit getting used to the superior KDE Plasam Desktop. But I don't know how long my luck will hold out on Mangero 21. Slight fuckup I am on Mageai 9 cooker on my 250 G5. I did not change my repo's in time. Is stable though.

Right Royal fuckup I made with this car. I need however to investigate this further as when Mr R brought back the car from Umzinto it was running on two cylinders. Somehow the distributer plug had come off and Mark said that the water hose to the radiator had been changed and soon after the head gasket fucked out.
Retired at 19:30.
05/04/2021 03:07 SAST Please Holy Mary let there be no shit today from Mama. If only, if only Mama was on the correct meds, I don't think the injection will work. How can I honour my mother if she is verbally abusing me all the time. Last night Mama asked me to phone Ela, there where four sisters now there are two. Ela really pissed me off she told Mama on Skype that Mama should send me to the funny farm. Mama is hysterical, this fractured humerous of hers since July 2019 has really fucked up her life. I remember the days when Jabu used to bed bath her. I requested that my brother give a video call every Sunday to Mama so she can see her grandchild. So far he has done so the last two Sunday's. This is the second time in less than two years I have had to call in my own Doctors for help with Mama. My first Doctor was over ruled by Vach. Lets see what happens now with the second Doctor. I think Mama deep down is afraid I will leave her. She is confused.
04:03 SAST 57 660 USD per coin, Bitcoin has dropped 2000 USD per coin over the last few days. Never mind Bitcoin goes up and down and Ether has been doing well. I predicted at least 50 000 USD per coin by Valentine's or more. More and more large financial institutions are accepting Bitcoin as payment. I have both Ether and Bitcoin in my portfolio now, need to risk, can"t sit here doing fuckall.
Umzimkulu Hospital welcomes you all with open arm and hopes that your stay will be as pleasant as possible. “put your feet up and make yourself at home!!” BULLSHIT PROPAGANDA from their website. This fucking Doctor Ndlovo needs to start paying off my debts, I am sick and tired of these debt collectors.
04:47 SAST Listening to Nightwish, years ago I used to listen them my fav is "no surrender" By Judas Priest. The CD player started to work suddenly in my car yesterday. I now check the coolant level everyday. I want to purchase the CD of an African girl and guy singing yet I forget there name, they where number one on Channel O, if you know who I am talking about please email me. No fuck I can't find them on you tube.
05:00:45 SAST Time is flying by this morning I have been up over two hours. Jabu wakes at 06:00 to take a bath in her basin and prepares to go to work. Thinking back to Thursday my Doctor said there is no need for me to go to eThembeni, I wanted to check myself in, on the other hand my other Doctor said I can check myself in anytime. I am awaiting 08:30 with great expectation when Mama wakes. She has not gone for her night pee yet. Every time there is a fuck up she says I am ill. Not this time. Mama has a habit of digging her nails into people and pinching hard when she is fucked in the head.
05:29:13 SAST I am slowly getting used to driving my car after eight years of not driving a car but a bike, I miss the wind in my face a bit, never know with this cryoto thing, I could buy myself a bike soon and help Doctor Ndlovo pay off my debts at the same time. No need for a 750 or 1100, the 76 KW I have driving my Elantra is plenty DOHC 16V. I want Jabu to time her, 0 to 80 km/h in how many seconds when I floor her. Mama went for a piss five minutes ago and back to bed, shame she also has this bladder problem and spends a couple of 100 ZAR on pads a month. I mop up her piss when she does not make it to the loo.
06:00 SAST Let me have a break. I just turned the music off and can hear the chirping of the birds.
05/04/2021 14:08 SAST I receive a very generous loan/donation from Mr R to cover the cost of my shocks. I was quoted 5000/5500 ZAR but I might have someone cheaper. I will find out tomorrow. No they are 6500 ZAR at the other place. Talking about donations and gifts I was quite surprised when Mama and I received a gift from overseas for Xmas and I received a gift from overseas for my birthday on the 18/02/2021.
I drive to iNkompo with Jabu and we sit at the cafe and buy a 2 litre coke and chat for hours. Needed that break, Jabu also gives me a haircut. Mama was most unhappy when I left that I took all the keys to the house bar the kitchen door keys so she could get out in case of fire. The other day she opened all the security gates and left the keys lying where any passerby could have taken them. Mama said she will call the SAPS. Good my Doctor said she is manic and needs to be taken to GJC as an involuntary patient. I rather try look after her here but it's very stressful, like I said Jabu and I are not made of steel. With this Covid-19 shit it's not a good idea for Mama to go to hospital but it looks like the only way. Strange mania she is having this time, normally I notice she is starting to become manic when she starts to wake at 04:00/05:00 and sleeps no further. Now she is worse of in the morning. I don't know if Mama should be taking Lilly fluoxetine if she is manic.
So I have been using Mageia 8 KDE Plasma for five days now. 21:34 SAST
23:07 SAST Can't sleep, too much excitement today. Let me try go back to sleep. Retired nicely and ......
06/04/2021 05:51 SAST That's almost seven hours sleep, good. Like I said we are just poor simple folk and appriciate any donations towards my ebook. It's rather chilli this morning with rain forecast, I can feel the cool Autumn breeze blowing through my window. It's raining I can see the girls walking down to work with Umbrella's. I am unable to drive my car in the rain because I never know when the wipers will fuck out completly. Last time the wipers worked fine on two speeds on the way to iNkompo.
20:00 SAST So much for Mageai 8, total freeze had to hard reboot. I was doing sweet fuckall, just left my machine on for a few hours whilst I was busy in front. Fucking hackers. Don't know why I have much bad luck with my fav OS. Still waiting for the transfer to come through, the banks like to hold on to the funds and transfer when they make the most profit. So i am back on Ubuntu Linux 20.10 right now. 20:20 SAST. Bitcoin is at 58 202 USD per coin and Ether is at 2120 USD per coin. Have not bothered to fix th etouchpad yet, why is my fan growling. Core 1 is at 50 C, hmmm, the others are at 42 C. Odd after all these month's I feel at home with Ubuntu Linux now even though Mageia has a superior control panel. let me check if this thing sleeps. Yeah Ubuntu Linux 20.10 sleeps and so do I.
07/04/2021 02:08 SAST This is the the time I start typing not the time I wake up mostly. 04:03 SAST Being waiting since last night for a RTT to go through. I need to make more bucks with Bitcoin and Ether before I can purchase the shocks and Mr P my mechanic from Johannesburg says a temp sensor can cost 600 ZAR.
04:10 SAST let me try to get my touchpad to work on Ubuntu Linux 20.10. 04:32 SAST Tea fag coffee fag, I hope my Doctor is not reading this, she told me to drink less tea and coffee but I am thirsty all the time especially when I smoke. Let me reboot and see if the touchpad works. 04:36 SAST No luck, will not work on kernel 5.8.0-48-generic. Fuck.
07:44 SAST Mageai 8 is useless to me on the S145, certain important browser does not function with the web pages I need it to function. Fuck up after fuck up, first the S145 then the Elantra. Only success I had was with crypto and my pool.
First thing I do when I return from shopping and dropping off Jabu at her mother's is jump into the icey pool. The injection Mama received on Good Friday morning seems to have improved her mood a bit.
08/04/2021 02:14 SAST Happy 80th birthday Mama, 100 lat. I purchased a black forest cake with Happy Birthday on it and some bath salts and hand cream for Mama. Mama will receive fleurs from overseas this afternoon.
02:41 SAST Bitcoin has dropped to 56 268 USD per coin and Ether is sitting down at 1983 USD per coin. The magic number for me is 150 000 USD per Bitcoin.
08:45 SAST I had to pump up my left rear tire, maybe I hit a pothole too hard. I found my tire gauge as well so it's steady at 2 bar. We will see tomorrow morning. Unless there is foul play from one of the buurmense and they are letting my tire down.
11:02 SAST I rushed off to Park Rynie to have my temperature sensor replaced whilst Nomvula was still finishing off washing the car. I wanted her to be here for Mama. Praise be to the Lord, Jesus Christ, the Good Friday injection prescribed by my shrink is working on Mama. One can see a major improvement in the last few days.
19:29 SAST So I will get a second opinion on my shocks as well, I have had quite a few prices. Mr B did an excellent job with my head gasket and temperature sensor.
19:37 SAST Hail Mary full of Grace, please let me have no more shit with this Elantra, Amen.
19:39 SAST I was getting a bit nervous this morning, Bitcoin and Ether dropped but are up again now.
09/04/2021 01:24 SAST Even though I am taking an increased dosage of some of my meds as per my Doctors suggestion, I still wake early. It's back to 2003-2013 when I ran AMPPOL IT Linux CD's & DVD's. Bitcoin is steady at around 57 863 USD per coin this morning and Ether is doing well at 2075 USD per coin.
01:55 SAST After yesterdays flat tire I am wary of driving to iNkompo again with all the potholes on the dirt road, two clicks of dirt road full of fucking potholes, pedestrians and cattle. But I love Jabu and I love Shisanyama, Shisanyama one buys meat and the meat is BBQ'ed for you and your partner with hot sauce if you like. One brings ones own bread or rolls and a flask of tea or coca cola.
03:19 SAST I am looking forward to Shisanyama this weekend with the love of my life and umfazi Jabu who will be working so we have to go late. I asked Mama if I can go away for the weekend, she said don't leave me here. Hope this fucking tire is not flat again this morning at sunrise. Let me move back to the TV room and carry on listening to Jeruselema.
05:12 SAST Nice relaxing quite morning, just right now Mama went for a pee, I have a text let me go check. It was Facebook. I have been using Windows 10 up front for thirty six hours uptime now on my 250 G5, I use Ubuntu Linux 20.10 on my S145. I am looking forward to the 22/04/2021 when Ubuntu Linux 21.04 will be released. Right let me upload and I pray my tire is not flat when the sun rises in less than an hour.
10/04/2021 06:30 The tires where not flat, will check tomorrow. Jabu and I spent a very pleasant day in Scottburgh shopping and at the beach. I purchased a Sandisk flash drive (which Jabu has in her handbag) for 59 ZAR, the shop next door wanted 150 ZAR. I have arranged for a spare key to me made for our car, Mama will have 60% shares in the Elantra after the shocks are fitted which best price I received is 5000 ZAR. When I opened the bonnet at around 07:00 there was a kitten in my engine compartament. Lucky I checked the water level otherwise the kitten would be mince meat when I started the car. The buurman has a lot of cats and now kittens. I think he put my black cat down.
On this day, 78 years ago, 500 Polish Children arrived in Oudtshoorn on the 10th April 1943. These Children went on to form the core of the Polish community in South Africa.
We where rather tired and Jabu did not feel like going to the Shisanyama. What a great day to spend with my wife, oh yes we went shopping at Checkers as well and I forgot to buy brown sugar. Originally I meant to purchase tomatoes and a pool floater only but we ended up with a whole trolly of shopping. Jabu and I deceided that we will not see each other tomorrow Sunday. It's her mother's birthday tomorrow. I retired early and....
11/04/2021 04:02 SAST Had another good nights sleep. Today I will be roasting a chicken and potatoes in a jacket in the microwave with butternut. If we have electricity otherwise I will have to do a flattie braai (BBQ). I reported to UGU a water leak seeping from the street two days ago but they drove up and down our street and have done fuckall about it. Obviously it needs to be a fountain before they do anything.
I still think Mama should be on Epilum, Camcolit and Risperdal, we will see what happens when my shrink returns from holiday.
Bitcoin is sitting at 60 432 USD per coin and Ether is at 2147 USD per coin, 05:12 SAST.
I forgot to mention that on Friday morning my print device which I had ordered arrived so we don't have to go around begging folks to print for us. It's a good HP as usual 3 in 1 WIFI print device and works fine so far on Ubuntu Linux 20.10. I just need to get the scanner to work but have been so busy I don't have the time. I will test the WIFI on my 250 G5 today as I am using Windows 10 with an uptime of more than 48 hours.
Like I said Mageia 8 is fucked with me on my S145, way too many hassles, with my one browser, I need everything to function. What a pit I was so excited about the WIFI working on Mageai 8. In the old days I used to submit bug reports to Mandriva Linux and Mageia Linux but I am too vila for that now.
12/04/2021 01:35 SAST Been playing around with my print device, let me check if I can scan on Ubuntu Linux 20.10. Bitcoin has been hovering around 60 000 USD per coin the weekend. Ether doing well at 2140 USD per coin. It's difficult to find a handyman in Pennington when I have Jabu on my Whatsapp profile pic. We have a burst pipe leading to the washing machine and dish washer underground. If I open it up there will be water pissing all over the place, the soil is preventing a fountain of water. Like I said every thing happens to me in two's. 03:28 SAST Scanner works fine on print device.
03:54 SAST Started to upgrade to 21.04 Beta for a second time from Ubuntu Linux 20.10. Finished upgrade at 05:08, touchpad now works, took so long as I was watching TV and questions popped up during the upgrade. I now have Ubuntu Linux 21.04 Beta on my S145. 05:20 SAST bit tired will go relax now.
06:00 SAST Today was a total fuck up. We did not find where the burst pipe is, will continue looking tomorrow, going to have a nice water bill next month. Again when I left to pick up Jabu at 15:30 there was a kitten in my engine compartement. I have yet to test my print device on Ubuntu Linux 21.04 Beta on my S145, I am very chuffed that the touchpad works. I only slept five hours or so since last night. I fell asleep on the couch at 09:10 and woke at 10:10. My central locking is starting to give me hassles on the Elantra, wonderful just fucking great. I worked so hard to buy the Elantra with my Bitcoin profit. Mama has helped me with the outstanding amount to repair the Elantra.
15:30 SAST It was nice to see Jabu today, I did not see her Sunday, I gave her a lift just past the N2 bridge. We spent at least thirty minutes together.
Johan Venter does not want to do work for us anymore, he blocked me on Whatsapp today after promising to come the last few months for odd handyman jobs. I will see if Jabu's brother succeeds tomorrow. So i phoned Mr Venter and he says he is busy, like most people in Pennington I think he is unhappy that I am married to an African. Jabu and I met him at the Kiosk whilst having breakfast a while back. I think my shares have dropped drastically since I put Jabu up as my profile pic.
19:49 SAST Time to sleep, Bitcoin and Ether are doing well today.
13/04/2021 02:35 SAST Morning that's six hours sleep, not too bad. I love this song, the way you fuck me, when I get hold of a song I can loop it for months. Thinking of Dominic right now, fuck to kick the bucket at fifty one, fuck. Firefox crashed on my 250 G5 yesterday, I have an uptime of six days now on Windows 10. We will see how my Bitcoin monitor goes, bit bored with Linux on my 250 G5. Bitcoin and Ether are sitting nicely at 60 379 and 2159 USD per coin. One of the debt collectors who offered me a good deal four years ago now keep phoning me sending text everyday, mother fuckers. Like I said the touchpad works now on my S145 with Ubuntu Linux 21.04 Beta but not too great, Lenovo made a big fuck up with this machine series. The main reason it was choosen for me that it had 8 Gigs of RAM, the other shit they sell in South Africa mostly has 4 Gigs of RAM.
03:58 SAST I love this stress of being an Induna, last year when I was renovating Mama's house it really kept me busy and had my blood in my veins, turn brighter red. And this waking at 02:00/04:00 spikes me up. Even though I think I am going to take a break now and relax and watch some TV, as you all know I am a prescription drug addict and the levels of meds I am taking now are quite high. Oh yes I managed to bhepa the other day and cum without an orgasm.
05:46 SAST A new day starts wish me luck with the burst pipe today.
09:14 SAST The plumber popped in and said it was the guys digging the fibre that had damaged the UGU water pipe in the street. The water is seeping underground onto Mama's property then into the two buurmans prpoerty. What a waste of money and labour, of course the guys wanted a full days pay so I kept them busy by painting Jabu's and my former bedroom ceiling and the kitchen window frames. Nomvula cooked pap, gravy and Umzinto sausage for us all. Mama is eating very little these days and I can see her arms are very thin which worries me. At Summerhill Lodge she used to eat a large plate. Shame she is getting old and this mania of hers once a year is not helping. I hope to contact my shrink today for further advice.
14/04/2021 03:25 SAST 35 minutes to go till load shedding starts. I woke at 02:04. So that's six hours sleep. Whilst the guys where painting yesterday I watched my Bicoin monitor, I will not be doing the Microsoft patch Tuesday on either of my machines today.
03:36 SAST let me upload before they cut the power. Ubuntu Linux 21.04 Beta had a new kernel this morning and 49 updates in total. Nice to have my touchpad to work on the new kernels, thank you Mark and Canonical. Nine minutes till load shedding, will they cut or not, I am ready. 03:57 SAST Pity Mageai Linux 8 one browser does not graft on my S145. Let me check my print device on my Ubuntu Linux 21.04 Beta. 04:01:10 SAST Still waiting. 04:03:25 SAST looks like no load shedding, lest give it till 04:05 SAST, Bitcoin is at 63 361 USD per coin and Ether is at 2286 USD per coin. Houston we have a problem no load shedding and I was so reddy.
04:26 SAST
11/10/2021 03:15 SAST Monday Coffee mug finished, time to brew my Rooibos, I don't actually brew my Rooibos tea, I put in one and one half brown sugar large sterling silver teaspoon and the Rooibos tea bag and add hot water, stir and leave the Rooibos tea bag in the mug and enjoy. During the day I take a long time to drink my Ricoffee and Rooibos tea so it's cold by then and I enjoy it like that, as Doctor once told me I should avoid associating something with my fag. But I drink and smoke at the same time. When I first get up in the morning I chain smoke with my filter coffee brew which I only drink once a day when I wake up. 03:36 SAST Bitcoin sits at 55 555 USD per coin. Time for a break even tough I have been listening to pop music in the background. I am awaiting the return of my Elantra with great excitement on or before Thursday from Mr P. It's still a bit chilli in the early morning's. Even though I am wearing only one jersey, no socks and my long john's. I keep my office window open to breath some fresh ocean air. Did I type that I am awaiting the days when I will be able to skinny dip in my above ground pool at around 04:00 SAST before sunrise. My pool is in it's second spring now under a enormous tree that's why the water is so cool and the material lasts, no hail here as in Johannesburg to rip the pool apart. Our buurman is also selling his house and he got his gardener to give the house one coat of paint. When was it that I supervised and planned the painting of Mama's ceilings and curtain rails, must have been September 2020. That was fun and kept me busy for a few weeks. So as my brother said whilst Mama stayed at SummerHill Lodge, you are on your own. which he implied this past weekend. Lucky the poes did not sell Mama's house as she would hve been homeless when Mama was evicted from SummrHill Lodge because the bright Doctor did not know what he was doing. I repeat, n January 2016 I said to my brother, do not send Mama to a retirement village. But Doctors know best and even advised him to send Mama to SummerHill Lodge. Marek who was Mama's caregiver and book keeper since Tata passed away in March 2006 knows fuck all. Mama went through one manic episode a year. Since 2003 till 2015 I was not an inpatient. Last night I cried again whilst I was talking to Mama out loud in front of Jabu. Mrs B said I should talk to Mama, Mrs B attended Mama's funeral. I have a shrine for Mama. I stay on Mageia 8 these days but will boot into Ubuntu Linux 12.10 Beta on the 13th just to get the last updates before the final release on the 14th of October 2021. Mangero 21 is my backup OS. I still can't get HPLIP to work on Ubuntu Linux. Lenovo's latest BIOS update fucked up amongst others my sleep on all my Linux OSes on my S145. HP is still the best for me. Even thogh my 250 G5 is so slow, I don't know why in South Africa they still sell machines with 4 Gigs of RAM. I was lucky to get 8 Gigs on my S145. There are online stores which have laptops with up to 32 Gigs of RAM but then you pay for it. 04:50 SAST the birds have jut started to chirp. A glimmer of light will appear soon. My mouth is very dry this morning, maybe it's from the Allergex. Time for some cold juice I think. Load shedding at 06:00 till 08:30 even though there was supposed to be but there was none yesterday at the same time in Pennington and Park Rynie. No juice will make me feel cold, let me have some coffee, the sky is visible. 05:00 SAST. Bitcoin is at 55 764 USD per coin and climbing. 05:09 SAST. I can see the tar road now and the traffic is picking up. Five cars per hour at this time. 28 square flat in Freeland Park, fuck. Let's hope this iNkombo deal with Miss A works out. Water is only available between 05:00 and 07:00 SAST, one baths in a basin, and ESC cuts the electricity whenever they feel like. Sometimes for days in Malangeni. But we will build a bathroom and buy a Jojo water tank. I will work out today according to the plan I drew yesterday what furniture we can take with and which to sell, now that South Africa is not on the UK red list I am sure my brother and his family will come here to make trouble. Last time he parked outside, did not greet me and looked at the roof of Mama's house. On one occasion when my brother was in Pennington he came with his wife and only invited Mama for lunch and not me. Even though he used my Whatsapp to arrange the meeting and I thought I was going with. 05:24 SAST according to me the sun has risen. I wonder if I should brew Jabu her lemon water now before ESC cut the electricity, maybe they will not like yesterday. 05:25 SAST that's all for this morning, I will upload just now. Bitcoin is now at 56 000 USD per coin, 05:27 SAST. 08:20 SAST I curse the day I purchased my Hyandai Elantra 2005 1.6 GLS from Mark Pillay of Umdoni Village Pennington, but I went through so much shit with it in the first month that now it's too late to sell at a loss and I hope Mr P gets the cylinder head right this week. 16:05 SAST Jabu's best friend comes to sleep over for the night. I retire after Uzalo TV series with Allergex at 21:05 SAST and wake at 23:49 SAST, my WI-FI is not grafting....
12/10/2021 00:53 SAST Tuesday After calling the call center and trying first to reboot and get a connection on my WI-FI router I failed. So support told me what to do. I need to wait ten minutes and turn the router on again, the SIM has been refreshed. Right ten minutes more than up wish me bon chance. 00:58 SAST I will now turn on my router. 01:08 SAST still no joy. 01:15 SAST I get my network up but reset the router through the GUI and I have no network again. I should not have reset the router to factory defaults like last time. 01:29 SAST still trying. 03:07 SAST sat with support for fifty four minutes, they will come collect the router. 03:08 SAST let me have some Rooibos tea. 04:41 SAST Turns out I need a SIM swap my SIM does not work in my smart phone. Miss S will wake at 05:00 to maybe bath and get ready to go back to Mtalumi and work. I hope they slept through all my talking on the smart phone with support. I am on Ubuntu Linux 12.10 Beta now, there was a kernel update, I thought the kernel freeze was on the 07/10/2021. Bitcoin is at 56 538 USD per coin at 05:09 SAST. Right I brewed Miss S some tea and now she is ironing her skirt. Miss S is having a bath now. 05:26 SAST Time to knock off, I am really tired. 05:18 SAST. Cannot upload at 05:27 as I have no internet connection again. Finally a internet connection at 05:42 SAST Let me upload now. At 10:00 SAST the estate agent Mrs P came to take pics of the house. At 13:00 SAST she brought along a prospective buyer. Jabu returned from work and cook a delicious meal of pap and chilli russian sausages, the russians cost only 49.99 ZAR per kg at Umzinto. I retired after Uzalo at 21:15 SAST and woke at ....
13/10/2021 03:06 SAST Wednesday. It's patch Tuesday for South Africa today on Microsoft Windows 10. Will not be doing it, don't have data now that I need a SIM swap and new router. Strange when I first came to Pennington in 2012 I had a USB dongle with three Gigs of data per month and then after three Gigs the speed would go down to 128 kbps. I as usual am drinking my Turkish brew of coffee. I feel good this morning, nice and fresh after a good night's sleep. 56 250 USD per coin at 03:53 SAST. Time for my Rooibos tea, as I said I never enjoyed Rooibos tea but since Mama passed away and we had over 160 tea bags in stock, I thought I would give it a try and now since April 2021 I have been drinking nothing but Rooibos tea and Ricoffee of course with one Turkish brew when I wake up in the morning, when I am a bit naughty I sneak in another Turkish brew during the day but very rarely. Miss A is reading my text but not replying since last Sunday, I wonder if she found another cash buyer. I am listening to my video collection which I have collected over the last eighteen years via Totem on Ubuntu Linux 21.10 Beta. Ah I just noticed the birds have started to chirp, 04:55 SAST. Yes it's been eighteen years since I opened my AMPPOL IT Linux CD's & DVD's business. Now since January 2016 it's AMMPOL IT BIPOLAR 04:57 SAST a glimmer of light in the sky again. The sky is turning a light orange as the sun rises from the East over the ocean from the beach. 05:11 SAST I see the road now I think I will take a break and go for a dip in my above ground pool. 05:24 SAST I could only dip for thirty seconds in the ice cold refreshing clean water. Odd the pool was not full of leaves like after the bad weather of last week, I had to remove a ton of leaves. What I have always liked about Totem is one can select twenty songs in a folder for instance and Totem plays them one by one. No Youtube this morning just my selection of Gigs and Gigs of music video's. Actually I have four terabytes. So take your time with the SIM swap and router. This is a pleasant break from Youtube, I will only listen to online Catholic Holy Rosary Mass later at 144p. On my one broken box I had mp3's which would play sixty four days if one left them to play on Rythymbox. 05:45 SAST Time to upload. 18:07 SAST Two Doctors said I should get exercise. The one Doctor said I should walk Jabu to the taxi rank or as far as I could walk when Jabu walks to work. We did this last spring and summer, now Jabu refuses. I hate walking alone. 21:50 SAST I just got out the shower twenty minutes ago and printed the offer to purchase. Miss A is still not responding to my Whatsapp text. 21:53 SAST Miss Asithandile Mgnadi answered that her family does not agree to the contract but she just read the contract now and has no family in iNkombo nor Malangeni nor Umzinto. Strange last Sunday she texted me that I can go to her house anytime to take measurements. Jabu still has her mattress and garden table and chairs at Miss Asithandile Mgnadi's house at Umkhmbane Hills, still from when we had a braai earlier in the year at her house whilst we where renting, and to top it all Miss Asithandile Mgnadi wanted me to transfer 10 000 ZAR on last Sunday without a written contract. Looks like I will not sleep again tonight, I am too upset, I have no where to live now once Mama's house is sold as my brother once again since January 2016 has negated on his many promises to purchase me a flat in Scottburgh in his name, leaving the flat to his son should I die. Let me go drink some Coca cola and relax in front of the TV for a while whilst I gather my thoughts. 22:27 SAST. I watched TV till after 23:59 SAST.
14/10/2021 02:10 SAST Thursday I wake up, I fell asleep on the couch for an unknown amount of time. 03:00 SAST Bitcoin sits at 57 709 USD per coin. 58 152 USD per coin at 03:13 SAST. Mama what have you done, choke to death on marshmellows, you could still be with us. Mama you where so strong. It's that heartless brother of mine and his Indian wife that want nothing to do with me now that you are dead Mama and wanted nothing to do with you in the first six month's of 2020 when we where in dire financial trouble, your pharmacy bill came to 1500 ZAR a month on average, mostly for nappies which I used to order for you.I miss you tucking me in to bed, I miss our long chat's, we both could talk, It's a pity my brother sent you flying back and forth from London to Warsaw as his wife was so rude to you, my brother even shat on his Indian wife whilst Mama was in her flat in London. Mama you returned exhausted from your overseas trip and tripped over your suitcase in July 2019 in the dark going to the loo and fractured your shoulder humorous. Maybe it was my fault that I left the suitcase there in her 25 square room. God bless you Mama, I miss you. I hope I get my car back on Friday as promised, it was supposed to be Thursday but Mr P had to go to a funeral. At least if my Elantra is running I can sleep in it. My back of my neck is stiff now, let me watch some music videos to relax. 03:48 SAST. Yesterday I sent three emmails to my brother and his wife, all the same content more or less asking if my brother purchases me a flat in Scottburgh will he pay for electricity, water, rates, levy food and my bills like internet and DSTV as well as petrol for my car and a 10 000 km service, I asked his wife to reply that they agree or disagree. My brother will after all be taking 100% of the inheritance of Mama's house and offered to purchase me a flat uner 500K ZAR in Scottburgh, if over 500K then in Toti or Jabu and I could move to Durban as there is plenty of work for maids there so Jabu and I will not be split apart, if I move to Scottburgh I will only see Jabu my wife once a month as she grafts most weekends especially during the school holidays. She likes it that way even though she gets most Sundays off. On whatsapp my brother agreed to the terms of the Scottburgh flat but not via Gmail. Wow I have not heard these songs for ages, take my self control by Laura Branigan. Better than the hip hop, rap shit they show on DSTV, the 115 ZAR package. DSTV family has Trace Urban which is quite good, we where given a free taste for ten days but the package costs 295 ZAR I believe, so I deceided to get DSTV family for a month to see how it goes, only because the package has Trace Urban, I leave it on the whole day till Jabu comes home. Here we go again almost sunrise, I feel too cold to go for a dip. I am wearing my long john's, t-shirt and two jerseys, just as I thought I was coming right. Same story, I can see the road and the sky is a blue orange colour. I did not notice when the birds started to chirp. I can't wait till tomorrow, I pray I get my car back. After all my brother did loan me in the region of 10 000 ZAR, I don't remember how much after forty days of negociations. 05:13 SAST time to call it a day. Wow my neck is tense, i need to get the massager out, Tata's. Bitcoin is at 58 180 USD per coin, 05:16 SAST enjoy your day. I will upload at 05:30 SAST. I brewed Jabu's hot lemon water at 05:50 SAST, We had fruit salad for breakfast, paw paw (complimentary of Jabu's mother), banana's and pears with yogurt. followed by one egg each and fried tomatoes, I had four slices of fresh bread, I get hungry when I work all night. Let me check when last I had a shit. Ah ha, I last dumped on the 12/10/2021, I will need to take the laxative tomorrow, I am not going to leave it for five to eight days anymore. I was a bit cold this morning, I am waiting for a courier but eventually passed out after 10:00 SAST and had a shave and a swim when I woke, it's stifling hot, we have a power failure now since 11:20 SAST. Lucky I just managed to brew my Rooibos tea, I only purchased it when it's on special at 37 ZAR not when it's 58 ZAR for eighty bags. At 12:01 SAST my SIM swap arrived. 12:14 SAST let me proceed to insert the SIM into the router. Thanks guys once it was activated it worked, I wonder if someone did not deactivate my old SIM on purpose. We had mash and chicken livers for supper. Jabu is still upset with me because I called her a "bitch" because she would not let me walk with her to the taxi stop and to the corner so I can slowly get some excercise as my one Doctor said I should do, now that it has warmed up, last summer we used to walk together. I don't recall what time I fell asleep on the couch but I watched Trace Urban at 23:00 till, however Jabu just told me that I retired at 19:30 SAST and woke at 21:16 SAST.....
15/10/2021 01:00 SAST Friday Downloaded Ubuntu Linux 21.10 amd64 iso. Bitcoin sits at 57 311 USD per coin, 01:34 SAST. Miss MD is coming to clean the house today so it can look spick and span for the prospective buyers. I am going out at 09:00 to see a private Doctor, Doctor D whom I usd to see in 2012 till early 2014 when I had a medical plan. It's amazing I have not gone bonkers with the little sleep I am having, I was mild manic a few days ago. But soon I will be tired. 01:15 SAST I booted into Manjero 21 and updated 76 packages via the command line. While they where updating I went to bed to sleep and woke at 04:26 SAST. Bitcoin now sits at 59 166 USD per coin at 05:00 SAST. For the first time since I installed Mageai 8 X frooze at 05:10 SAST, had to hard reboot and back in Mageia 8 now, hope I am not been hacked again. Bitcoin is going crazy it now sits at 59 076 USD per coin. The sun has risen and looks like a beautiful day to be, I will brew Jabu's hot lemon water at 05:55 SAST. Will Bitcoin hit 60 000 USD per coin before I leave home at 09:00 SAST via shuttle. Such a peaceful place Pennington, I love the sound of the birds chirping, but beware as it gets hotter it's nyoka season. I will miss Pennington. I have alredy seen a nyoka on Mama's steps by her impatients and one on the front security gate on coming home with the Elantra this year. Bitcoin has climbed to 59 350 USD per coin 05:48 SAST. I have been cheating these last twenty four hours and have had four Turkish brews. 06:07 SAST now time for some Rooibos tea. At 08:48 I left to see my old private Muslim Doctor, I use dto see him in 2012-early 2014 when I had a medical plan. We ariived at 09;15 SAST so I waited till 10;00 then phoned him. In the meantime the nurse took my BP which was fine 135/95 and my blood sugar which was 6.6. Doc D altered my script he said I was taking too much shit and gave me a Valium injection as well as Valium pills and some others. Doc D is a dispensing Doctor. I fell asleep at 19:30 SAST and woke at 23:12 SAST. Maybe the pills and injection need some time to kick in. At 16:00 SAST Bitcoin hit 60 000 USD per coin.
16/10/2021 00:53 SAST Saturday I enjoy waking early but not as early as 23:12 SAST, 02:00-03:00 SAST is fine for me. I made a big fuck up the other day, I was sitting in my fav armchair, the one I used to sit in SummerHill Lodge when I visited Mama, the lid of the 250 G5 Celeron was closed and I bumped a huge mug of coffee on the laptop. I quickly cleaned the 250 G5 Celeron three times with a damp cloth, It has not been so clean in years but coffee was pissing out all over the place from the 250 G5 Celeron, my brother did not want to take out contents insurance, he as usual ignored my email about paying 50/50 for the insurance then told me on Whatsapp that insurance in London is cheaper, fuck looks like everything in the UK is cheaper than in South Africa. If we get cleaned out now I loose everything never mind the load shedding can fuck up the electronic stuff. I told him I will hold him liable. 02:14 SAST I retire to bed and wake at 06:33 SAST. Bitcoin is at 926 655 ZAR per coin at 06:56 SAST. Will Bitcoin hit 1 000 000 ZAR per coin this weekend. 61 726 USD per coin at 07:00 SAST Will Bitcoin break April's 2021 record high of 64 870 USD per coin. It's going to be a cool weekend with rain forecast for today and tomorrow. No dipping. So in total I slept six hours. Jabu is not going to Umzinto for shopping today but will have a well earned weekend off. I will be watching the Bitcoin price this weekend so I don't loose another 13 000 ZAR like I did in May 2021 when Bitcoin crashed. 07:31 SAST no rootkits on Mageia 8 for a change. According to Mr P last night my radiator was totally blocked, took the whole radiator out, he said I will get my Hyandai Elantra today. I am trying to print to my print device a pic I found of Tata, Mama and three of there closed passed away friends whom I knew very well but the page on Ubuntu Linux 21.10 and on Mageia 8 keeps printing in black and white. I am drinking Ricoffee now let me go brew some Rooibos tea and I see Jabu has a phone call. Sorry it was my Cubot Manito. I need to remember to take some laxatives this morning. Bitcoin is at 62 131 USD per coin. 07:55 SAST. Last time I dumped was on the 12/10/2021 08:30 SAST so I want to try the laxative every three days now but I forgot last night so I will take it this morning. 08:10 SAST Let me go enjoy my Rooibos tea whilst watching Trace Urban. Jabu and I spent a pleasant day together. We had mince and rice for lunch. Mr P as promised got a driver to drop of the Elanta at my brother's and my house at 18:00 SAST. We has a long chat at the dinner table and Mr P said he knows Mark Pillay for fifteen years. Unfortunatly.
16/10/2021 20:46 SAST Saturday Bitcoin has fallen to 60 969 USD per coin, I can't stay up all night watching the monitor. I will try and retire now now. 22:15 SAST.
17/10/2021 02:23 SAST Sunday Woke up for a piss and checked the time on the microwave, 02:23 SAST perfect. 02:43 SAST let me fetch my morning brew. So to sum up on the 7th September 2021, I did not sleep the whole night almost, I took 14 mg of Rivitrol but still could not sleep, Mr Google says one can take up to 20 mg of Rivitrol in 24 hours, I had an appointment at the psych clinic on the 8th September 2021. The shuttle came to pick me up on the 8th September 2021 and we where at GJ Crookes by 07:30. I was screened and went to the psych clinic and left my file and bag on one off the seats where the patients where sitting right next to each other, no social distance. I then told the Sister I a going for my vaccination. My Doctor had no arrived yet, she normally arrives at 08:00. I was already registered so the vaccination process in the underground car park went quite quickly. On my return to the psych clinic, believe or not I was next in q. Today there where two Doctors and I did not see my normal Doctor, Doc K. The young Indian GP reduced my Risperdal from 2 mg at night to 1 mg as I complained of ankel cramps. She also gave me Norflex bd. I then proceed to Dentist. Mt friendly African Dentist was on duty and extracted one off my top teeth, she said I will be back as my teeth where loose. She gave me a local anesthetic spray first before the injection as I complained that the injections hurt. This time I did not feel the injections at all. She extracted the tooth after pulling and pulling but I felt no pain like the last two extractions where the teeth where infected. She said I will be back. And true as fuck I have one loose tooth which wiggles when I touch it but I have yet to go to have it extracted. I was at GJ Crookes on the 7th October but the q was too long so I went shopping to Checkers and came back and found the waiting room full, social distance plus around fifteen folks standing. I asked my African lady Dentist if I could have my tooth extracted without my file, she said no, so I collected my blue card at reception and fucked off home. I was home early. The 8th September was a miracle, everything proceeded like clock work except that I had a dry socket and pain for three weeks. On the 7th October we did go to my dentist in Tira village but he had closed down 03:20 SAST Bitcoin sits at 60 989 USD per coin. It's a bit chilli's with my window open so I am wearing two jerseys and my long john's but no socks. The weather forecast is 18 C and rain for today, typical, the weekend and I cannot dip. i now have my 61 K ZAR Hyundai Elantra 1.6 GLS parked in front of my office, I am very pissed off that the job was not finished by Mr P correctly, he should have rather finished the job and given me my car back on Monday night. I have had only three smokes, I am so busy typing, 03:46 SAST Bitcoin sits at 61 249 USD per coin. Let me have a Youtube music break. Ah what a nice Rooibos tea break, God bless you Mama, may your soul be resting in peace. I used to brew Mama Rooibos tea a couple of times a day in her fav pot. Soon it will be the 21st October, six months since Mama has no longer been with us. I am on my own with Jabu, my brother stated he only has bucks for his family. Even though after forty days he did loan me bucks to repair my cylinder head. We will see how the Scottburgh flat deal works out, Jabu and I will be split up, I prefer to stay in Pennington. Same bucks for water, electricity, rates, levy, bills and food. Poor naive Mama, she thought my brother would help me out once she passes. He is rolling in the bucks but it's his Indian wife that calls the shots. Before the estate agents got involved my brother refused a very good offer for Mama's house, now he will pay 35K ZAR commission to the estate agent. Bitcoin sits at 61 240 USD per coin, 05:08 SAST. Right just finished my Rooibos tea, lets have some Riccoffe. How time flies, almost sunrise. What a pleasant sight, I can see my Elantra from my office window now. It's been raining. 61K ZAR the Elantra has cost me plus 350 ZAR to repair the lazy starter, the Elantra did not even idle yesterday evening. The birds are chirping again. Cold rainy day forecast as I said. 05:29 Bitcoin sits at 61 271 USD per coin. Fucking buurmans cats sit in my engine to keep warm during the day, kittens that is. At least its not rats. 06:07 SAST let me upload. I retired at 21:45 and woke at...
18/10//2021 00:13 SAST Monday Usual Turkish brew but as my brew was brewing I checked out my smart phone for messages and the Bitcoin price which is now at 02:08 SAST 61 538 USD per coin. I brew my Turkish brew weaker now, Jabu used to brew the Turkish brew for me at 07:15 when I slept from 20:00 till 07:** SAST for two months. Let me pause the Morning surrender and deliverance prayer and brew some Rooibos tea, As the 21st of October 2021, Mama may your soul be resting in peace. Thanks for the Rooibos tea idea. 02:35 SAST Bitcoin is at 62 189 USD per coin. Let us pray, 02:43 SAST. Lets start the second day of the week with more prayer, Rosary followed by Catholic Mass, online. 03:06 SAST. My warranty for the S145 expired on the 7th September 2021, how time flies. Thank you Mama for this wonderful gift, which gave me so much hard ship in the beginning with Lenovo's fucked up BIOS updates and the touchpad and WI-FI not working at first on Linux operating systems. Maybe Linus will bring out a kernel out one day that supports the Lenovo S145 8 Gig RAM touchpad. As you know I got the touchpad to work on Ubuntu Linux but it fucks up the whole OS after a few days. Will Bitcoin go uo to 1 000 000 ZAR this week, I ask the question again. Bitcoin is climbing and just now was at 935 000 ZAR per coin. The other day Bitcoin was at 880 000 ZAR per Bitcoin. Mama used to watch Catholic online Holy Mass everyday on her Tablet but her tablet is old and faulty so on the 21st April 2021, the day she passed away she watched Mass on my S145. Her last meal was Macoroni and mince which was not her fav. She chocked to death on Marsh mellows, fuck. 21/10/2021, Thursday, will be six months since I last saw her alive. I type as I listen to Mass in the back ground, yes I can multi task. Mass is over time to upload and go back to sleep. 04:15 SAST. I woke at 05:50 SAST with no electricity from ESC. I brewed Jabu her hot lemon water and myself a mug of Riccoffee on gas. It's 07:02 SAST and Mr P left me a text via Whatsapp that he is coming to my place today. I told Mr P that my car will never go to his workshop again, I don't care if he knows all the Indian chaps from Umkomaas to Sezala or all the Metro Police, Protection services and SAPS in the area, what Mr P did was disgusting and dishonest, dumping at sunset of the 16/10/2021 my Hyandai Elantra 1.6 GLS half broken and taking 5000 ZAR cash. We will see what time he pitches. ESC sent a SMS that there is a fault in our area. Strange my tower is not working after the power outage when the tower always used to stay on for hours. Bitcoin is at 62 379 USD per coin. My battery on my S145 is at 26% as of 07:16 SAST. 24% time to sleep my S145 07:19 SAST. Mr P took my car this morning and left his Merc Vico in my carport. I bet you he will come collect his Merc Vixo tonight and say my Elantra is not ready yet. I was incorrect Mr P did drop off the Elantra at 20:00. With my old cylinder head, my jack lever and wheel spanner. Mr P now stated that it's not the starter but the battery that is no good. He drove it 12 km from his workshop and when he removed the oil cap, it seemed fine, no water, we agreed that I would drive th eElanta for a week and if the water des not mix with the oil I will be happy. Electricity came back on at 14:00 SAST. When I get too excited I cannot sleep so I watched Adult Only XXX on DSTV at 23:00 SAST....
19/10/2021 00:47 SAST Tuesday, I am drinking Rooibos tea with lemon. I am going to put my socks on and another jersey, it's rather chillies and see if the Elantra starts. 00:50 SAST Bitcoin sits at 61 857 USD per coin. 01:12 SAST the Elantra started but the temperature gauge goes up too quickly, it's over heating. Fuck, I parked the Elantra higher up in the garden just in case it is the battery and I can roll backwards a longer distance and start the Elantra in reverse rolling backwards. Before it took quite a while for the temperature gauge to move at all, but now the temperature gauge goes to 1/4 quite quickly. I need to ask Mr P about the temperature gauge when he drove from Park Rynie to Mama's house, the 12km. 02:47 SAST been listening to Rosary and Holy Catholic online Mass. 02:56 SAST Bitcoin sits at 61 926 USD per coin, that's 932 525 ZAR per coin. So looks like it was not the starter after all. I received my original cylinder head back and my jack lever. 03:12 SAST, let me try get some sleep. I wake at 04:55 SAST almost two hours sleep. I forgot to mention that I updated Micorsoft Windows 10 on my S145. The birds are chirping and I can see the road. Bitcoin is at 62 040 USD per coin at 05:06 SAST. I will go check on my Elantra just now. God willing, the Elantra will be ok now. Jabu is still fast asleep till 06:00 SAST. Jabu woke a bit early and I brewed her hot lemon water at 05:40 SAST. The Elantra started, but the DOHC 16 V cover plate is fastened with a green cable tie. The temp gauge goes to 1/4 very quickly, not like before, the temp gauge would take a mile of travel to move. I filled the water bottle with water to the top, excess will flush out. 06:00 SAST Let me get ready to upload. At 07:45 SAST I took a drive to Kelso beach and back. When I came back the dipstick was clear of water so was the oil cap. I just had to add water to the water bottle container like I said. i spent the rest of thhe day resting, I did mention to Mr P that my right front tire looses air so he put 2.4 bar in it and the left fron has 2.1 bar. The tires and air con are the only thing to sort out now as well as the starter and or the battery. However we had a 11:30 appointment with the estate agent so they pitched at 11:00 just as I was having a deep power nap. By 16:00 I was too tired to fetch Jabu from work so thank God her boss gave her a lift home, I will not drive the Elantra if I am too tired. I retired at 20:05 and woke at .....
20/10/2021 02:12 SAST Wednesday Usual Turkish brew and a couple of fags to get my nicotine levels up. Bitcoin broke the the 64 K mark per USD per coin as I slept. 02:40 SAST Bitcoin now sits at 64 079 USD per coin. Just had a kernel up date on Ubuntu Linux 21.10 so let me reboot. 02:45 SAST. Time for a mug of Rooibos tea. Jabu will wake early this morning as her Boss who is coming from overseas are arriving back, they gave me some fantastic fury sandles, jusst my size foor the winter as well as secnd hand sandles like the ones Ewa used to post to me from Germany way back. Ewa used to also post me Tabac, I now use Old Spice even though I have used Tabac my whole shaving life almost. Ewa and Krysia are back on chatting terms after I informed Krysia that Mama is dead on Whatsapp in April 2021. Ewa admitted it was wrong of her not to chat with me since the third quarter of 2020 when I announced that Jabu and I are back together again. Ewa, Jabu, my mother's only sister who is still alive and my brother said that Jabu will leave me once my funds are finished. We will see. Even though I was exhausted last night I took two Allergex pills as well as the seven other pills I take. Remember I saw Doc D last Friday and he adjusted my pills I am taking, gave me a Valium injection as well as Valium pills and some others. Unfortunatly they did not help with my sleep since last Friday. I need to go to GJ Crookes, there is an injection waiting for me there since a week now according to Doc K. I also need to have two loose teeth extracted and soon need to go for my second shot of Covid-19 vaccination. I can feel the stress in my neck now, let me go for a piss and watch some music videos on Youtube. 04:00 SAST 63 906. I was pretty pissed of yesterday after only having two hours sleep, I had a appointment with the estate agent for 11:30, two of them came at 11:00 and woke me from my power nap. The one Mr B started to ask me about the defect list I had sent to Mrs P, I don't like him, Mama did not receive a defect list in March 2012 when she purchased the property. In fact the Tereblanche's who had the property on the market for four years, layed their own tiles on the outside of the shower which fell down and cut Mama's head open. Mr B is another one of those guys who thinks his arse does not stink. There is a crack of 4 m running down the lenght of my office, he seemed to be very worried about it, the crack was there since March 2012 as Tracy cleaners removed the stinking carpet in my office. I mentioned that the carport roof is totally fucked as I had designed it 6,5m x 4,5m, in 2012 made of gumpoles and slates, two troops of monkeys had a little war on the carport roof a while back and destroyed the top slates on the west side. So as far as I can see Mama's house has three possible defects, one being the office cubboards have collapsed from a dripping outlet of the water heater, a month ago a new thermostat and element where fitted, the carport is fucked and possibly the septic tank which has not given me any hassles for a year now even though I don't have a truck come to empty the septic tank once a month which is included in the water bill. I very much like Mrs P and we know each other from March 2012. As I call it a morning with a glimmer of orange sky, I will now relax with Trace Urban, I need a long break, last time I went on holiday was October 2012 with Mama not counting Jabu and my honey moon at South Beach Durban in May 2013. Bitcoin now sits at 63 855 USD per coin at 04:56 SAST. Adious till next time I will upload now. At 07:30 SAST I left for GJ Crookes hospital, where I first had my second shot of vaccnation, I was sneaky this time, I put my card in the q for my my file first then went to the under ground parking for my vaccination, the q was rather long so I asked an African chap to keep my place. I quickly went to the psyhc clinic to get my script for my injection and on return to the vaccination site I was almost next in q. So I have had my two shots now. I then went to fetch my file and asked if my file was ready, the clerk said to me "what's your problem", I replied no problem I just wanted to know if my file was ready, a few minutes later they called my name and I paid 45 ZAR. I went on to the Dentist, a young Muslim dentist quickly extracted my two loose teeth and I was out of there in no time. My young African lady Dentist was also there, I asked the Muslim Dentist for some local aneasetic before the injection site but there was hardly any left. So she injected me with a bit first and then more on the site, the extractions here quick. I have bugs buny front teeth now which inherited from Mama as she suffered from peridonthitis. I then poceeded to the pharmacy where the half wit African guy was at the window. I eventually found out that they had my injection at OPD. I first went to OPD but was redirected to the injection room, my mouth was full of cotton wool so I could not talk. I shwoed the Sister Doc K's script and the Sister gave me a shot in my buttocks. Hopefully I will be right in three days as Doc e informed me when he arranged Mama's shot in the fist week of Aoril 2021. Today at 13:45 will be six month's since Mama passed away. I retired early after Uzalo.....Oh I forgot to mention my Elanra drove well except the starter or battery is now fucked, I arrived at GJ Crookes at 07:55 SAST and left at 10:00 SAST, my Elantra's starter needs to cool down before she will start again, so far no water in the oil after my 32 km trip and the plastic water bottle was full as I had topped it up. The radiator was full of water and the radiator fan comes on, the temp gauge stays below half.
21/10/2021 00:05 SAST Thursday, almost six month's since Mama passed away, I will light a candle for Mama whose soul is resting in peace, Mama was a devote Catholic 01:47 SAST how time flies Bitcoin hit around 66 000 USD per coin at around 16:15 SAST yesterday, right now at 01:49 SAST Bitcoin sits at 66 086 USD per coin, the highest it's ever been this year. Let me have a break. 02:52 SAST let me try sleep. Lay in bed for three minutes and I can feel when I will not fall asleep. So brewed some Rooibos tea and went to watch TV. 05:06 SAST, I have only had three hours sleep. Bitcoin now sits at 64 846 USD per coin. Let me upload. 05:10 SAST. What a day, this morning my brother answers my question if Jabu and I will still be here foe Xmas, then follows up to thirty five emails between us. Where I get mostly insulted by him and the last email ends in my brother saying "don't make your problems my problem's. I was trying to convince my brother that Jabu, I and a tenant stay in Mama's house in Pennington but he want's fuck all to do with me now that Mama has passed away, I have been nothing but robbed since March 2012 by those who call me larney. An example of this is a chap who sold me Brea Shade lawn for 3000 ZAR in 2012, he kept calling me larney and the lawn died a few months later after an expensive water bill. My starter or battery is now fucked in my Elantra. As I said I managed to drive to GJ Crookes but on cutting the engine at 07:55 SAST the Elantra woulds not start again. But when the starter has cooled down at 10:00 SAST, my Elantra started first time. My brother also asked me today how I am going to pay back the bucks he loaned me for my Elantra's cylinder head, he made sure he put loan on the international transfer. Fucking piece of shit and his Indian wife Rebecca. Took me forty days to get get the "loan" from him. Strange my brother previously mentioned when Rebbeca's mother died of Covid-19 a while back her sister, husband and two children where dependant on Rebecca's mother pension, wonder who send's funds from overseas to Rebbecca's unemployed sister now. Mama's day of passing showed what I knew all along, my brother since I flew down for his 21st to Cape Town is a cunt. Sue me. Any way Jabu returned home with plenty of gift's from her boss who had just returned from overseas and gift's for me too, a nice shaving travel bag and pj's, I always had my own shaving travel bag when I travelled on time share and business. They are not rich snob cock suckers like my family members from London, even though they are rich. Fuck those who have ever called me larney. Fuck the little shit, let him sell Mama's inheritance, he refused a private deal for 750 000 ZAR on the house where he would get 50% and I would get 150 000 ZAR and 2500 ZAR over ten years when we where supposed to move into Miss A's house. Now the estate agent will get 5% plus 15% VAT. 20:22 SAST I just finished eating pap and gravy, I had yesterday's left over mince and mash for lunch, Jabu always chooses the tender pieces for me because like I said I inherited periodontitis from Mama. I have faith in the Lord, he will not split Jabu and I up again. Today a mechanic number four collected my car to look at the starter and battery. I was so excited to purchase the Hyandai Elantra with my Bitcoin profit's but it all fell sour by one who "called" me larney. Apartheid that what it is in the new South Africa. Shame it's my fault that I came to South Africa as a child into an apartheid system. We will see what the Lord provides for Jabu and I. If I go to Scottburgh, we will see each other once a month. Like I said Mama was incorrect when she said "a family member will look after you". Anyway let me go watch the end of Uzalo. 20:36 SAST. Crashed just after Uzalo with my meds which I took at 20:00 SAST and Allergex which I took after Uzalo.....
22/10/2021 04:12 SAST Friday Had a good nights sleep. Over six hours of sleep. Maybe the injection I had on Wednesday will slowly kick in. Too much stress with my Elantra, my family member where I will live once Mama's estate is settled. Now it's the fucking battery or starter. So far the water is not mixing with the oil since Mr P brought back the car on Monday in a fair condition, unlike last Saturday. In September 2020 I told my family member and Mama let's buy a car for 40 000 ZAR on Gumtree, my family member said what piece of shit will I get for 40 000 ZAR and Mama was afraid of the maintenance cost's. Well there now you have it, my family member who lived in KZN for many years with his first wife should of told me about those who call me "larney". My family member did however help Mama and I a lot when he was with his first wife. It's Rebecca his Indian wife that's the problem. Had two dumps yesterday without taking any laxatives after four days. I sent Mr P a text yesterday that I will pay him his 4500 ZAR by EFT as agreed on Monday night when he drives from his workshop on the way home to Sezela if the water does not mix with the oil before then and I need an invoice with a three month warranty he promised on the second hand cylinder head. That will be 61 000 ZAR that the Elantra has cost me in total plus the starter or battery plus the 999 ZAR car cover I purchased on Wednesday from Scottburgh Mica. 04:59 SAST Bitcoin is at 62 834 USD per coin. Monkeys on the the roof, peskey little shit's as my brother calls me. When Mama and I moved into Pennington in March 2012 with three K9's the monkeys where quite a joy to watch, Bono my family member K9 which he dropped off by crate to JHB was quite viciuos and killed a monkey. I like German Sheppard's but had to settle for family member K9's as I said no and Mama said yes. I miss haya my Datschund who used to sleep at my feet in JHB and Pennington, Bono terrorized her. Buci another of family member K9's was killed by Jennifer's K9 from down the street. Forget his name now but's he is a large Labrodor type, oh yes his name is Gus, have not seen Gus for along time. Jenny accused me of hitting Gus with a stick. Bt I eventually got half the vet's costs out of her but I don't have any K9's now just the buurmans cats whhose kittens sit in my Elantra's engine compartement to saty warm in Winter. 05:18 SAST looks like the sun has risen on this cloudy day, I pray I will have my Elantra back soon. Feel much better after a good nigh's sleep. Jabu and I only have a few month's left together so we need to make the most of it. Miss A fucked it all up. 05:26 SAST let me brew some Rooibos tea. My family member ignored my many emails that the content's of Mama's house should be carried on to be insured for 971 ZAR per month including the building, now the executor of the estate has only insured the building, I wrote my family member an email that he will be liable if my contents are damaged, stolen, hit by lightenning or power surges. We where to pay 50/50 for the insurance. He is a fucking no good tight shit. Let me see if my Rooibos tea has brewed. Bitcoin has dropped 3000 USD per coin since yesterday. That's odd I have no sound on Ubuntu Linux 21.10. Let me investigate. Sorted. I am thirsty let me go to the kitchen and get my Rooibos tea. So far no pain like last time in my extracted teeth even thogh I am not supposed to smoke for three days. I am getting a bit tired now and will soon upload at 06:00 SAST. I will correct the spelling mistakes later. Will listen to on line Holy Catholic Mass and deliverance later. 05:49 SAST let me brew Jabu her hot lemon water. Nothing like washing one's hands with clean lemon juice, Jabu say she too tired after work and also want's an erect penis so we don't have any sort of sex now, except hugging and kissing when she feels like it. 05:56 SAST Jabu is up for a pee, she greeted me and took her hot lemon water from the kitchen. I have been at this for two hours now let me upload, My 2012 Zippo lighter purchased at the mall serves me well, today's value according to the Zippo web page is 1200 ZAR. I had six Zippo ligther's, only three are working an one is missing, my original Zippo lighter I purchased in 1992 still grafts. The Zippo lighter I purchased at the mall at the shop where I purchased Jabu her engagement ring and wedding band closed down and I purchased a pipe lighter for 350 ZAR on closing down sale, still works, a pipe lighter. 06:05 SAST. Forgot to mention my mags on the Elantra are most probably fucked that's why the right front tire keeps loosing pressure as well as the front left of which both have new tires. this Elantra which I purchased for 28 000 ZAR from Mark Pillay of Umdoni village will end up costing me over 80 000 ZAR. I don't know how much four new mags cost. 08:50 SAST, Bitcoin sits at 62 599 USD per coin. I am listening to the Rosary and Holy Mass now. I pray to our Lord that my forth mechanic gets my Elantra right. I will know later this morning if it's the battery. Looks like rain and cold all next week. I sent family member an email this morning, sell Mama's Pennington house as per your wishes and I get my 50%, he gets his 50% and I will never hassle him again and make my "hassles his hassles". family member will most probably want his "loan" back. Yet family member owes me 20 000 ZAR for tools I sold the first time round he tried to sell Mama's house and 6000 ZAR for an iPhone 6s he promised me so I owe him nothing. My family member blames me for selling mt mechanical tools to George, yet family member put the house on the market so I started to sell stuff. Pennington is like Saudi Arabia they throw the beggars into the dessert so no chance of me sleeping in my car at Pennington. oh my Lord my forth mechanic just texted me at 09:12 SAST and said the brakes did not work he had to pump them on the way home yesterday. New brake pads where fitted early February 2021 on Mama's property in front of me and Wednesday the brakes where good. Fuck this I hope I have not found another con artist. 09:41 SAST had a nice dip in my above ground pool the water is not ice cold today. I read on Mr Google that one should not drink coffee for five days after a tooth extraction but I am drinking Ricoffee now, was dying for some, will have another mug just now even though I had my Turkish brew this morning, getting a bit tired of Rooibos tea all the time since Wednesday. Well the smoking is not doing my teeth extraction any good, oh I forgot to rinse with salt water which I have never done before. Strange my previous extraction gave me pain for three weeks, the African lady Dentist extracted the tooth. 10:02 SAST let me finish with Mass and have a break. PS my sleep function now works on all my Linux OSes on my S145. GJ Crookes new wing built a few years ago is unfortunatly falling into disaray, the male toilets by the Pharmacy have had no water for month's and the toilet seats are all off the toilet. These days I rarely stand and piss, I am so used to siting in the dark at Mama's house in the wee hours of the morning in darkness having a piss only with my 2012 halogen luminaire on in my Office. Could not find another one similar. Forgot that I am about to brew my Rooibos, let me go for a quick dip. 11:05 SAST, 11:56 SAST Bitcoin is at 63 336 USD per coin. Water is lovely but it will rain all next week. My family member replied that he will help where he can but will not be abale to have a holiday, new car or bike because he has to pay for my maid and garden services, Like I said we had no maid (politically correct term in South Africa is a domestic worker) for month's and now with Mama's house on sale we need a maid every ten days. Where am I going to rake 1100 squares of leaves and into which trailer or truck am I going to put the leaves. Magic trees in Mama's garden like I said and some protected. Cannot clean the leaves out the gutters as I sold my mechanical tools to George for 16 00 ZAR including two extension ladders, Chris A gave me a fair price for some tools. 12:11 SAST started to download MX Linux 21 KDE Plasma based on Debian 11. Will try it out. It's not the battery on the Elantra which is faulty. Torrent complete, 12:27 SAST. Lets try her out but let me upload first 12:28 SAST, the forth mechanic arrived at Mama's house with the starter, he says he shat himself going down the hill yesterday as the brakes failed, he took me to his house where he showed me that the rear brakes where not grafting at all and only one front right disc was working. God bless Mark Pillay. 14:07 SAST this is fun I am going to have a Elantra whoes retail value is 43 500 ZAR but I still need mags for 6000 ZAR or tubes. 14:10 SAST let me burn my MX 21 KDE plasma. I hope MX 21 KDE Plasma is live, am going to boot into it now, just a cup of coffee first. 14:35 SAST. MX 21 KDE Plasma looks good wi-fi grafts not the touchpad. 16:08 SAST light thunderstorm. Jabu is walking up in the rain. 16:12 SAST, Bitcoin is falling 61 840 USD per coin. 16:13 SAST will upload now. 16:14 SAST Jabu arrives home. We have dumplings and one chicken thigh for supper, lovely. and I retire at 20:06 SAST....
15/11/2021 02:15 SAST Tuesday So far I have managed to sell my forty year old Gallo guitar and my two sets of Logitech speakers with woofers. Folks just don't want to come all the way out to Pennington to purchase which is a fifty minute drive from eThekweni. What shall I do this morning, I am dying to get Mangero 21 to boot but I know it will not and mX Linux 22 had the problem where it would not lock screen after closing the lid. The same OS works differently on different machines. For instance Mageai 8 works perfectly on my HP 250 G5 but on my Lenovo S145 I have to manually activate the net applet each time I boot into my S145. I am sitting looking at two Zippo lighters, I need to send them in for a service pity I lost one out of my six. Not really lost, It's somewhere in this mess of my office.
16/11/2021 Tuesday Fixed MX Linux 21 would not lock screen. Jumped around through all the distro's till I landed up in Microsoft Windows 10 on my S145 and watched Tom and Jerry. Basically either than updating, watching music videos and looking at the incorrect weather report Windows 10 is beyond the scope of my knowledge since I purchased my 250 G5 four years ago. Like I said I have left Windows stock standard except that I installed Lenovo Vantage and a VPN. I had a dip at 05:00 SAST this morning and another dip at 10:30 SAST to freshen up after my power nap. i did however notice that Windows 10 runs a bit hot when running and Windows 10 CPU was very hot when upgrading to Windows 11, will not be caught up a sucker for the second time with a Windows 11 update, Microsoft Windows 10 will be supported till 2025, maybe by then Microsoft will have sorted out their shit. The weather is changing looks like rain. My Elantra will be out of the workshop soon, I had to sell all my crypto to pay for the repairs to the brakes, starting hassle and to put tubes in my tyres. The air con will still not be grafting but I have deceided to repair the air con as if the windscreen mists up I will have no visibility. The Elantra is insured for 43 K ZAR when Mr T is finished with the Elantra, the Elantra will have cost me close to 70 K ZAR, good thinking batman. When I wanted to purchase a car for 40 K ZAR in September 2020 the family said no. I could have purchased a perfectly good car for 40 K ZAR. Now we sit at 70 K ZAR. Fuckup after fuckup. 12:07 SAST let me have a break. 13:18 SAST better have a bite to eat. I am really pissed off, Mr L and Miss/Mrs M did not come to take the furniture away yesterday after I had every thing set up. On top of that Miss/Mrs M via telecoms said she would do a real time transfer of 4000 ZAR which never happened, but Mr L promised me he will buy the goods, so it's my last chance to sell and I trust him. Mrs B says she has no money to purchase the furniture which she put a deposit down of 500 ZAR on two month's ago, so looks like I will have to give back Mrs B the 500 ZAR. Fucking monkeys, they tore the trash apart again today, I wish I had an aggresive K9 like Bono my Boxer K9 to tear the monkeys apart and keep these fucking cats away, maybe I will get hold of a K9 just for a couple of months or month. Wilbur Smith passed away the other day, I was quite fond of his books and still have "Bird's of Prey" which I read at school, I was quite a bookworm then. I still have not read to the end Wilbur Smith's "Pharoah". Real juicy bit's about ingquza in "Pharoah". I think I need to finish reading the book and check what came out after "Pharoah". Let me go join Jabu as she sit's on Facebook, there will be no cooking tonight as we are having yesterday's mac and mince. When was it, yesterday I had a G&T, I found Mama's Gin and had a bottle of Tonic water in the fridge, maybe I will have another one now just in case the Tonic water goes flat :-) Actually fuck that, let me rather go for a dip. 17:10 SAST. What a nice refreshing dip, cool cool water. I am sure I had "Pharoah" at the place kurwa sent me to. So did I have some other magazines brought to me by a family member of scantly dressed girls, fuck I am sure I will be damned to hell for all the porno I check out at pornpics.com/ebony and all the strip show's I have been to in my life especially bike rallies. One way ticket to hell I tell you.
17/11/2021 01:27 SAST Wednesday Fuck HPLIP on Ubuntu Linux 21.04, almost got it right but keeps picking up my USB print device and Ubuntu Linux is number six on distrowatch.com like fuck, the only good thing about Ubuntu Linux is that it saves my boot loader when a BIOS update or some other fuck up occurs. There will be no more BIOS updates on my S145. I noticed in the past on my over clocked desktop machine which still grafted in Pennington the more one updates the BIOS the bigger the fuck up in over clocking speed. Anyway that machine has been dead for a long time now. Pity, I have all the parts for it and a fast in those days GPU somewhere, Gigabyte. The mobo is dead and I had a fantastic CPU cooler but with all this load shedding by ESC one either needs a generator or APC UPS 1100 VA. I am on Mageai 8 now which is thirty seven on distrowatch.com and HPLIP just works. My glued together non microwaveable mug from the start is holding out. I can hear the alarms going off, Bitcoin and Ether are crashing, lucky me, I sold around 66 K USD per Bitcoin and now Bitcoin is at around 59 K USD per coin, should be just make it to repair mt Elantra and put in some gas. 04:23 SAST the birds have started to chirp. What shall I do today, maybe find something else to pack. I am wearing silk like pyjama trousers, so soft on the skin which are highly flamable, Jabu got them new from her boss. God bless them. Talking about God, I think I will listen to holy online Catholic Mass after my power nap this morning. On the 21st of April 2021 Mama watched her last online Catholic Mass on my S145. She had had enough of the pain from her fractured humerus and did not bother taking pain killers as they did not graft. The Doctor's said she needs pain therapy, but I still say that bitch physio fucked up her shoulder more and Mama complained to that fact. I remember when Mama was lying on her back in her bed, we would do shoulder excercises, In the name of the Farther and the Son and the Holy Ghost amen, Mama used to crap me out that it's not the Holy Ghost but the Holy Spirit. Mama used to enjoy church but Marion fucked that up for her, the satan's child. Everyone want's best for their Mama but some just make total fuck ups. Sunday I will light a candle for Mama as I do every month. I miss the auroma of the inside of a Catholic church. On my TSR I used to stop by and say a quick prayer but now they keep the gates locked. I used to enjoy Catholic Mass in Scottburgh the most when Mama stayed at SummerHill Lodge. Need a shave today, I only shave every three or four days the same way I dump. 04:56 SAST Bitcoin sits at 59 535 USD per coin. A jogger just ran down the road, good for him, my boss younger than me at one of the companies I worked for was also a fitness freak and died at the age of thirty four, head on into a 24 wheeler truck, I used to drive with him often, may his soul be resting in peace. 05:02 SAST I think I will upload now.
18/11/2021 00:37 SAST Thursday I was on Mageai 8 then booted into Windows 10 to see if Windows 10 is still grafting then booted into Ubuntu Linux 21.04 and set the laptop power to power saver mode and so far as of 02:00 SAST till now 03:50 SAST I have 28 % battery left whilst watching a movie during the ESC load shedding from 02:00 SAST, I now have 27% battery. Very chuffed that Ubuntu Linux 21.04 is doing it's job and I will get more than two hours battery out of my S145. Let me carry on watching the movie. Simmerpan should hit the button any moment now. Oh fuck the wind is picking up. 03:59 SAST. Very chuffed my battery lasts longer than two hours on Ubuntu Linux 21.04, let me put my power back on performance mode, I want to see how long this baby will take to charge. Let me carry on watching the movie but first my third cuppa, this time Rooibos, I now brew my Rooibos tea and don't leave the bag in. The wind really picked up at 04:01:30 SAST. Just got two more paw paw's, large ones, they sell for thirty ZAR in Scott street from Makakwazi yesterday. Eating very healthy during the paw paw season, can't wait for mangoes and litchi coming soon, especially those small mangoes, yummy. Ubuntu Linux is the top distro in the world really but it would be better if Ubuntu Linux had a DVD like Mageai all four Gigs with everything on it especially HPLIP. Fuck this HPLIP, I need to boot into Mageai 8 or MX Linux 21 if I want to use my print device. Windows 10 is even worse. the birds have been chirping for quite a while now. Let me upload now and call it a morning, I am tired now. 04:40 SAST. Tried to retire at 19:00, the back of my neck was so stressed from the day's packing and not having a power nap, eventually fell asleep sometime during Uzalo.....
19/11/2021 01:18 SAST Friday, took some Allergex last night as I could not fall asleep. Fell asleep last night on the couch and woke up with a stiff neck. Jabu took my fag out my mouth as I fell asleep on the couch, she then tried to wake me but I would not budge so I carried on sleeping in my pj's and dressing gown on the couch till 01:18 SAST. I am drinking last night's Rooibos tea which I put in the microwave. Will brew some Turkish coffee just now. Where the fuck is summer? In JHB November used to be the intense thunder storm month. 02:35 SAST Doing neck exercises like Mama taught me. It's going to be cold the next few days. Jabu is very happy to cook for me, breakfast, lunch left over from the last evening's supper and then supper. I was just fucked last night from all the packing and did not have my power nap like I said. This morning I need to take my power nap.
Elantra Good News:
19/11/2021 04:11 SAST I am on Ubuntu Linux 21.04 now, what I love about Ubuntu Linux is that there are updates almost every day. Pity Ubuntu Linux 20.04 freezes on my 250 G5 when coming out of sleep, my uptime on Windows 10 is seven days on my 250 G5. My smartphone is getting rather full, I wonder if Android installs the removes the packages like Linux. I don't feel like going around the clock now, I will stick with Ubuntu Linux 21.04 till I need to print or there is a kernel update. Bitcoin has fallen to 56 875 USD per coin at 04:21 SAST, lucky I sold my crypto and did not lose out this time. I can't hear the birds chirping this morning as I am listening to Tina Turner just loud enough not to disturb Jabu, oh wait there I hear them. This Dolby audio is quite good on the S145. Bitcoin is now at 56 134 USD per coin, 04:57 SAST, we will see if it stay's there then corrects itself. Retired at 19:30 SAST.
20/11/2021 00:37 SAST Saturday, Turkish brew as usual, and some music in the background, I am also trying to balance the books. Funds are getting scarce. I have put all my funds into the Elantra. 02:17 SAST, how time flies. Drinking brewed Rooibos tea now. May your soul be resting in peace Mama, In the name of the Farther and the Son and the Holy Ghost, Amen.
21/11/2021 SAST Sunday Today is seven month's since Mama passed away and exactly eight month's since my cousin Dominic passed away. May their souls be resting in peace, I am already burning a candle for them and all my family members who passed away. November is the Catholic month where we pray for those who left us.
22/11/2021 01:32 SAST Monday We had a wee problem this morning, a mother fucking wee problem, with three operating systems, I reinstalled Mangero 21 and either already has a boot fat32 efi or I made a new one which I did and ticked "bios-grub" instead off "boot only", well fuck me George on boot I had a kernel panic, so I booted into trusty Ubuntu Linux 21.04 and that fixed my fucked up grub, I always said Ubuntu Linux is the best operating system in the world except for HPLIP. And btw the Texstar you are a wanker, I download the latest PCLinuxOS Magnum and not a fuck would the wi-fi see my router but it saw all the neighbours routers. So that's Texstar and his clan fucked and what number eighteen on distrowatch.com like fuck. This is all on my S145. I had used PCLinuxOS in JHB and it's just a clone of Mandriva with synaptic as the update media. So I went around the clock the clock to see if Mageia 8, Ubuntu Linux 21.04, MX Linux 21 and of course the poes Microsoft Windows 10 graft. The only thing I got right with Windows 10, this time was to add my print device with HP Smart. But I was so bold as to try and install Origin like I had in September 2020 but the mother fucker kept giving me an exception error of some sort and I could not install Origin. Fuck Microsoft. My machine will not sleep again after all this. What an early morning. distrowatch.com is a load of shit most folks use Ubuntu Linux. Mageai 8 at number thirty seven, like fuck. I go fetch Jabu at the mall, she has boxes to pack. That evening Jabu and I separate.
23/11/2021 01:25 SAST Tuesday My Elantra took 450 ml of water in the radiator before I went to fetch Jabu from work. it's a hassle removing the car cover every time, I took the Elantra to 6000 RPM for a short burst yesterday and she seems to drive fine. Looks like the radiator cap does not seal 100%. The plastic water bottle feeding the radiator was full. The ABS works fine. I am only going to Drive my Elantra around Pennington for now. She starts over short distances, six clicks, without her having to cool down first. The monkeys love to jump all over my Elantra and the cats guard my Elantra by suntanning on the car cover, the three haa dee daas that come visit Mama's property have become very nervous since the cats are around. A black cat crossed my path at the doorway inside Mama's house but it had white socks so I don't know if that counts.
24/11/2021 00:08 SAST Wednesday More packing today. 01:40 SAST Bitcoin is sitting at 57 750 USD per coin and Ether is at 4352 per token. I had an uptime of 12 days on Microsoft Windows 10 on my 250 G5, I updated Ubuntu Linux 20.04.3 and rebooted into Mageai 8 and am now updating. We will see if Mageai 8 freezes as did Ubuntu Linux 20.04.3 on my 250 G5. 03:16 SAST I will need a long power nap this morning. Let's hope Jabu makes me some paw paw, pear, banana and pineapple with jogurt fruit salad this morning to take with my meds. I will miss her especially her delicious cooking which sometimes does not agree with my stomach, too much oil and imana. We had pap and russians last night. I love pap and phutu but that's why I have a beer boep. So it's farewell my dear Jabu we had good years together but the Pennington house is on sale so we need to split. Jabu had the day off and went to the Scottburgh Mall, she bought me a flash drive and decided to go to Umzinto after all to do some shopping, we texted each other on Whatsapp. By the time she got back to Mama's place at 15:50 SAST we where back together again. We had pap and russians for supper again, 50 ZAR per kilo the chilli russians. As usual I retired after Uzalo and woke at....
25/11/2021 03:23 SAST Thursday This Mama's house for sale is giving Jabu and I a headache. I have decided to book list all the furniture in the house and appliances, most of which is mine anyway and rent a room in Pennington, Park Rynie or Scottburgh when Mama's house is sold. Photo albums and such I will put in storage. From last Sunday my family member has still not put an offer on a flat in Scottburgh which was ideal for me so I am tired of this fucking around. He thinks I am going to do everything at the last minute like he does.
26/11/2021 01:14 SAST Mageai 8 uptime on my S145 01:34:11 up 2 days, 22:11, 6 users, load average: 1.83, 1.00, 0.71, need to reboot after a kernel update, had my 4th day dump first and drinking my Turkish brew. Mageai 8 installed kernel 5.15.4-desktop-1.mga8, Thank you Mageai developers and Linus my touch pad now grafts on Mageai 8 after fourteen months. When I rebooted into the Ubuntu Linux 20.04 boot loader the right kernel would not come up so I preformed Mageai's best trick and did an upgrade which reinstalled my Mageia 8 boot loader, Mangero 21 fucked up my boot sequence and caused a kernel panic. Let me go celebrate with a glass of coke. Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ. I am so happy you will not believe it. Come on Mark bring out a kernel image 5.15. I am busy downloading deepin 20.3, it also has a kernel 5.15. Fuck this touch pad works well on Mageai 8. 03:50 SAST deepin 20.3 downloaded and flashed to flash drive. Let me go have my cuppa Rooibos tea now and relax. 04:49 SAST I just came out the shower, yesterday I noticed a horrible smell coming from my groin area, I have a boil the size of a golf ball on my right testicle, I once had a boil lanced at the Milpark Hospital which cost my medical aid a couple of thousand ZAR, yet two years later a Polish surgeon lanced a boil for me under my groin aria for 500 ZAR and not under anesthesia like at the Milpark Hospital. I can put my cock on the block that these boils come from the meds I take. Right that's it I am tired now. 04:58 SAST.
27/11/2021 02:10 SAST Saturday The touch pad on Mageai 8 however does not work perfectly. When the S145 came out of sleep this morning the touch pad was not grafting. So I had to logout and login to get the touch pad to work. Pity. Let's see if Canonical can do better with there next 5.15 kernel image release on Ubuntu Linux 20.04. I woke up a bit too early this morning as I took some Allergex at around 21:30 last night and was hoping to sleep till at least 04:00. I wonder if I should try deepin, why not. deepin was a quick install but once I upgraded to kernel 5.15 I cannot for the life of me find kernel 5.15 in the boot loader. I am going to boot into deepin 20.3 now again but half the stuff is in Chinese, they seem to make better operating systems and smart phones like my Cubot Manito with the fucked battery which the battery costs 650 ZAR on ebay, than the do motorcycles. 04:13 SAST let me upload and reboot to deepin 20.3. I made a slight fuckup installing deepin 20.3 the first time, it took a long time "tuning" the system so I tried to go into a tty and "startx" which worked but I had to do a quick reinstall. I stayed on deepin 20.3 which looks like a very nice Linux operating system but I cannot for the life of me boot into kernel 5.15 after consulating with Miss Google. deepin was the first distro to come out with kernel 5.15 then Mageai unless you built the kernel yourself. Gone are the days when I could build a kernel in my younger years. The meds have taken a toll on me and now we are just poor, dumb simple folk bar Jabu who is quick on the ball and a wonderful wife. I sold my Philips CRT monitor today for 120 ZAR, what a mission for 120 ZAR the missionaries wanted to test it first as if I am running a shop here. Please email me with the procedure to run the deepin 20.3 5.15 kernel. We had one of my favs last night phuthu and beef stew with chaten. Chaten is tomatoe and onion finely mixed with chillies. How I will miss Jabu's cooking and she gets pissed off when I go into the kitchen so I don't know her recepies too well like I don't know Mama's pizza base receipie, all I know is Mama used flour, cottage cheese and water but I don't know if it was self raising flour. Anyway the local store OK Foods sells dough and is a wonderful store with many special's, I wish I could win the truck, I have never had my own truck always drove a truck for a company. I was telling Jabu when Chris Hani was assasinated in April 1993 and there was a State of emergency, I drove into Boksburg for one of the Bank's I am heavy in debit with and there where ten thousand Africans walking down the street I did a quick hand brake U turn and got out of there. In those years as an electrician I used to graft in many townships. The Bank I was working for doing computer cabling once told me when I had finished the job in a small township branch to get out of there quickly. Now the same bank I owe thousands of ZAR to compliements of kurwa Doctor Ndlovo. I retired early as usual.
01/12/2021 Busy on Deepin 20.3 so lost track of time, woke around 02:00 SAST, the time now is 04:26 SAST. the birds are chirping, summer is almost here. Again like Ubuntu Linux 21.04 the print device and HPLIP does not graft on Deepin 20.3, kernel 5.10. Like I said can't for the life of me get to boot off kernel 5.15 LTS. I am still on my Turkish brew have not had time to drink and smoke this morning. 04:38 SAST let me brew some Rooibos tea. Time is running out. Mageia 8 is still my top distro with kernel 5.15 coming out a day after Deepin 20.3 kernel 5.15 which one needs to be a wizard to boot off. 05:01 SAST let me upload now, I am on Deepin 20.3 kernel 5.10. Deepin 20.3 kernel 5.10 is a very good OS, I don't know why it's only rated thirty six on distrowatch.com. The only reason I am pissed off with this whole affair is that I cannot test if my touch pad works on Deepin 20.3. 05:45 SAST time for me to go for a dip, I am feeling hot, my BP must be up. Mr P arrives in a Merc C 230 Kompressor at 11:45 SAST at Mama's house with two of his drunk mates drinking in the car, the retired Scottburgh detective says my car is a "piece of crap". They leave the Merc C 230 Kompressor at Mama's house and Mr P says he will be back tomorrow before 16:00 SAST. He sighed that he is repairing my Elanra under warranty, most mechanics I have consulted with say the water in the oil is the cylinder head gasket again. Mr P arrived at his workshop in Park Rynie with my Elantra in less than ten minutes, he must have driven 140 km/h to get there which is not good for my engine bearings with the oil fucked. I did not have my power nap this morning and am now going for a skinny dip in this hot weather. 21:10 SAST. Mr Ra's wife said a relative will pay the TSR fine this Friday. 22:03 SAST 22:36 SAST still busy with my new toy, Deepin 20.3, variety is the spice of life. I retired at 22:45 SAST.
02/12/2021 04:02 SAST Thursday Took some Allergex last night. Still only five hours sleep, drinking room temperature coke which I left next to my laptop. Will brew now. Deepin 20.3 kernel 5.10 04:34:09 up 2 days, 8 min, 1 user, load average: 1.15, 1.19, 1.10. We will see what luck the Lord gives me today. 70 000 fucking ZAR for a "piece of crap". 04:58 SAST sunrise already. Fuck the chirping birds, they jump around in the tree's anyway when there is a nyoka in the tree. We had some small lizards in a protected tree but it fell over, fuck all of this. Motherfucker's. In the name of the Farther, the Son and Holy Ghost, where are you? Defiantly not at Mama's house since August 2020. Jabu is becoming full of shit these last two month's since she knows she is going back to iNkombo, no hugs, kisses nor ingquza only Facebook, where the fuck I am going I don't know, I was offered 10 200 ZAR for all the household content's by Lerne and Michelle. Looks like I will have to sell them myself or wait for a buyer whom want's to purchase Mama's house with the furniture. "24 years I have been living next door to Alice" Smokey. Reminds me of Carina and the cattle/game ranch. Made a fuck up leaving her even though she drank and had BPMD worse than mine. Pity I can't get the print device to work on Deepin 20.3 kernel 5.10. I will see how it goes with Deepin the next few days. Jabu will wake early this morning, she did at 05:28. I had her hot lemon water ready for her. 05:37 SAST let me upload. Mr P arrived alone with my Elantra after sunset, I don't know the exact time as our wall clock had stopped, the last few years it has been tempremental. Must have been after 19:00, I checked my boot if my jack was there, the trim seems to have been repaired and the oil was clean as well as the DOHC 16 V cover now has four bolts. I will check properly tomorrow morning. Mr P helped me to put the car cover back on and he texted me that they where putting blocks and bricks on the R102 after the Kelso bridge, he just missed the obsticales in the road. Jabu obtained some beef stew from her boss, so we had one of my fav's, beef stew and phuthu for supper, fab. I also received two expensive shaving gel tubes. Actually I will try them out tomorrow as I need a shave. Thank you very much. 22:30 SAST let me go for a skinny dip, it's hot. Retired at 23:16 with no power nap during the day. Took some Allergex. oh yes one of my top teeth broke off in the evening.
03/12/2021 02:05 SAST Friday My K9, Ridgeback cross Bull Mastiff is lying next to me right now, I received him gratis yesterday at 10:05 with 10 kg dog food, two 1 kg food in a can, leash, collar, choke chain and non slip water dish, treats etc. I will spend my last day's in Pennington taking Tyson for walk's to stay fit baring which if I am homeless I will drive around with him in my car like the one homeless guy does on foot in Pennington whom Mama invited into her house with his K9 and wife a few years ago. Tyson will take a few days getting used to his new home, he still keeps his tail behind his legs when I take him outside for a pee, If I am fit enough I will take him to the beach today. Thank you Lord for slowly answering my prayers. 03:35 SAST. Mama always cared for the homeless when she was at SummerHill Lodge Scottburgh. Thank you Mama, I brew Rooibos tea in your memory and enjoy the healthy tea. I need to take 1 mg of Rivirol now as per Doctor's orders as I am quite tense and tired right now and will never fall asleep till 08:00 SAST like I have done many times in Pennington and Johannesburg. Some folks piss it up I take prescription drugs. 04:08 SAST, It will be a cloudy cool day today. Deepin 20.3 kernel 5.10 uptime 04:11:12 up 2 days, 23:45, 1 user, load average: 1.36, 1.05, 1.03 Bitcoin is sitting at 56 600 USD per coin, Ether is at 4523 per token, Gold is at 1771 USD and silver is at 22 USD, Brent crude is at 66 USD at 04:17 SAST. The birds have started to chirp, Jabu is not snoring tonight and Tyson is fast asleep laying on soft cushions next to me. But I have a feeling that Jabu, Tyson and I will buy a house in Umzinto, Mhlengi stays in uMlazi. 04:32 looks rather cloudy outside. I am just worried that the girl Miss J & Mr S who gave me Tyson said if the rehoming does not work Tyson must come back to her, I hope she is not using me as a kennel. She said her partner who is in Bedfordview will come in two weekends to visit Tyson. 05:00 SAST let me upload and relax. At 08:40 Tyson and I left for Pennington beach in my Elantra. I had not had much sleep in the last thirty six hours so I had a double Espresso at the Kiosk whilst Tyson lay at my feet. We sat in the fresh ocean air with a good view of Pennington beach. 23:53 SAST Tyson had little water so I poured him some and he is lying down with me in my office. I need to fill up some water bowls for the evening of which I have plenty. Bitcoin and Ether have crashed whilst I slept. Gold and Silver is still doing good as well as Brent oil which is at the same. 23:59 SAST.
04/12/2021 00:00 SAST Saturday Tyson farts quite a bit. He is a massive K9. I am taking him to the Vet soon for a check up and rabies certificate. He does not seem to be bothered with my smoke and had his first long piss yesterday morning and a dump in the afternoon. Jabu took him for a walk after work yesterday and she said he had two large dumps. He ate for the first time late morning when I gave him some dog food out the can, then I mixed it with chunks and bingo. Miss J said he should eat once a day but Miss Google says twice a day tweleve hours apart. Long time since I had Bono, Buci and Hiya. My fav was Hiya a cross Dachshund. TYson is licking his foot now. So far so good with my Hyundai Elantra 1.6 GLS 16 V with 76 KW at 7500 RPM. Wow Tyson is noisy licking himself, let me play some music. 00:32 SAST. Tyson is like Bono he farts a lot but does not slobber. I will find out from the Vet soon. I called the Vet yesterday and panic station's I need to bring him in if he is not eating, what is she doing saving for her ski trip. That's why I only want to see Doc B. I remember Doc B once came to Mama's house. I will get all the intel from Doc B. Let me change the music, I am tired of this hip hop rap shit. Just brewed a mug of Mama's fav, Rooibos tea. I used to brew her five pots a day. One pot two and one half cup not mug, Mama would never drink out of a mug. Feeling rather tired might just hit the sack after my mug of Rooibos tea unless I take 1 mg Rivitrol to stay awake. It's supposed to piss down today 100% but I hear no rain yet. Hopefully will have a quite weekend with Jabu sleeping in late. Jabu is snoring this morning. It's amazing I am not suffering from moderate mania after all the shit I have gone through since April 2021. Deepin 20.3 kernel 5.10 uptime 01:36:24 up 3 days, 21:10, 1 user, load average: 2.82, 1.88, 1.57 I think I will stick with Deepin 20.3 kernel 5.10 till I need to print then I will boot into Mageia 8 or MX Linux 21. I had a ndlwabu the other day this week and it was good. I also had some nsangu yesterday, first time in twenty five years and I was good, one needs to relax, I don't drink alcohol as such, maybe one beer every three month's. I love Coca Cola. What is Tyson doing now, licking his balls? no he keeps licking his feet, I need to ask Miss Google. Tyson looks a bit older than five years to me. Where is this rain? Let me check the weather report. Ah ha 92% of rain from 11:00 SAST. We are running out of milie meel and sugar so I will have to go to Checkers soon to purchase in bulk, I received a kind donation for bills, food and the domestic worker to come once a week during the holiday season starting next Tuesday to keep Mama's house nice and clean for the prospective buyers. The garden services where here the other day so the garden looks good. Pity it almost seems to rain on the weekends. Today is pap and russians day, last night we had pilchards and rice in a hot chili sauce. I take my meds at 08:00 SAST so I have to cook my own breakfast this morning and feed Tyson at 06:30 SAST. Tyson ate well. Tyson is sleeping on his forth bed, one in my office, right now, one in front of the TV, his real bed which Miss J brought along is at the back of the TV room. and one at the back of the Elantra. Tyson will fit in here just nicely. Would not mind going for a skinny dip right now before the weather changes, 02:25 SAST. Lovely 18 C water so refreshing. 06:50 SAST Bitcoin and Ether start to crash.
05/12/2021 03:24 SAST Sunday Mess around with my 250 G5 and did not see the boot option at first so I managed to boot into Mageia 8, Ubuntu Linux 20.4.3 is under construction, will have to reinstall. Touch pad works best on Ubuntu Linux 20.04.3, all these years I have been installing with a mouse. At around 10:00 SAST,I have misplaced my thirty year old Seiko, I gave it to Jabu after my power nap on the beach after we returned from Checkers. The Elantra just barely started after we had finished our shopping. TYson enjoyed the beach and he barked for the first time this afternoon at a passer by on our street. Jabu cooked chicken Breyani (not from the box) for supper. At 20:00 I retired.
06/12/2021 08:20 SAST Head for the Vet, Hipcio gets a 5 in 1 and rabies, he is allowed no visitors till he settles in which can take up to six month's. Jabu and I take Hipcio for a walk after his supper. Jabu then cooks mac and mince for two days. Hipcio is a Hippo in Polish.
07/12/2021 02:00 SAST Tuesday, yesterday would have been Dominic's birthday, he passed away on the 21st March 2021, rest in piece my cuz and friend. He was the only one to call and congratulate me on our wedding day from the Pawinski's. So thirsty let me get my Turkish brew. 01:00 SAST let me go reinstall Ubuntu Linux 20.4.3 on my 250 G5, no don't feel like it right now. Deepin 20.3 kernel 5.10 uptime 01:01:58 up 5 days, 20:36, 1 user, load average: 1.92, 1.59, 1.11, I rebooted and Mageai 8 had a new kernel. Let me boot into Ubuntu Linux 21.04 and see what's new. 02:35 SAST Jabu and Hipcio are fast asleep. 08:20 SAST the shuttle arrives to take Hipcio and I to the Vet. The Vet check's Hipcio out and gives him a 5 in 1 and rabies injection, the Vet says Miss J and Mr S should not visit Hipcio as this will confuse him. We get back by 09:40 SAST, I did not take my Elantra because I never know whether it will start or not. Even though when Mr P dropped it of the other evening she started. Mr P and I agreed to wait fourteen day's to see if the water mixes with the oil again. The radiator does not seem to be loosing water, I will check tomorrow morning again. Jabu and I take Hipcio for a walk after his supper, Jabu cooks mac and mince for supper for two day's. I like to feed Hipcio at 05:00 SAST and 17:00 SAST every day. Hipcio is a Polish word for a Hippo. Hipcio had a crap this morning next to Mama's Azelia's and a piss right by the washing line. I am sure he misses his home but Mr S and Miss J wanted to give him away for mahala. I need to fix the hole in the fence where the small deer went through and the hole in the fence where the neighbour's cats come through even though Miss J said Hipcio will not try get through. Hipcio is like a real Hippo, when he moves he moves fast. 23:00 SAST let me retire or I will watch Adults only, I am so jags. 02:00 SAST I have had Ubuntu Linux 20.04.3 running for a while now. I just can't stay away from crypto, it's like a bug that has hooked me since August 2020 when the price of Bitcoin shot up. All this nervous buying and selling since August 2020 I have made only approximatly 12 000 ZAR. This year May when I lost 13 500 ZAR and the other days crash really fucked me up, I lost 8500 ZAR. oh well at least I tried to make a living. But my family member says it's gambling. My brother and I now have an agreement, I sell Mama's house, the executor of the estate deducts the fees and I take of his 50% inheritance 20% so I will get 70% inheritance, he gets 30% and will I will never bug him again, my brother will continue to pay the bills till Mama's house is sold. Pity I did not buy Bitcoin at 42 000 USD per coin, I bought at 52 300 USD per coin and then Bitcoin crashed last week to 42 000 uSD per coin. Fuck. Difficult to make a living. Bitcoin now sits at 50 579 USD per coin at 02:21 SAST and Ether sits at 4337 per token at 02:22 SAST, bit high to buy. I sold all my Ether the other day as funds where running low. Well so far Bitcoin has not moved drastically like I purchased it 15 minutes before last weeks crash and then it dived to 42 000 USD per coin from 52 000 USD per coin. 02:28 SAST time to relax with no Rivitrol this time, retired on the couch and woke up with a stiff neck.....
08/12/2021 01:35 SAST Wednesday Being fucking around watching the tennis, last night I played my Bluetooth speaker loud (Wagner, Beethoven's 5th and Chopin), I thought I would buy one with my funds I had received from my stuff I had sold. There is something wrong with my Ubuntu Linux 20.04.3 installation and my Bluetooth does not work too well. Unless I am still so stoned from yesterday's wheat that I have forgotten the command line. Fuck this it's prescription drugs, no alcohol and wheat to get through to February 2022 now. Way too much stress. Still no ingquza, just a kiss now and again really frustrating what the bitches can do to you with holding their pussy's. POWA my fuck. Joko tastes shit anyway. Rooibos Lager, now that's a tea which I am enjoying right now. So as the days go by Hipcio, the Elantra and I will see it through, Jabu is a lost cause. February 2022 is D day. Where will I be God willing. I took on a K9 because I need the excersise. Like I said I hate walking alone. Hope this wheat works. It's good and potent usangu. I love the hills of Kwa Zulu Natal. Would not mind going for a one hour scenic taxi drive through Malangeni, I miss the Sishiyma. Two guys came to the fence yesterday and I let them in to view the property, one was a potential cash buyer. The one guy gave me 34 Peter Styvesant Blue loose, 20 in a packet, I enjoyed them but I prefer PS Red soft pack. So wheat is sweet and I feel less tense now. Will monitor the wheat story over the next few days, actually I will chat with my Doctor's, today. Talk of the devil I received a kiss, touch and feel of pussy for a few second's this morning, Jabu has the day off and is going to Durban for Mhlengi's business. 05:35 SAST cloudy and cool, rain forecast. Bitcoin and Ether are holding steady, brent crude is going up. Silver and Gold hold steady. Buy Bitcoin now 05:42 SAST at your own risk. 12:10 SAST went down to the beach with Bono and had some fresh beach air, I ordered a double expresso but after twenty minutes it did not come so I left. Bono is doing well. Eats breakfast and supper, drinks a lot of water but Bono is still scared to stay outside. Maybe he is not used to the fencing. My Doctor's told me wheat is not sweet so I have to stop. Fell asleep on the couch again and woke at 23:30 SAST.
09/12/2021 00:00 SAST Thursday am watching Adult only XXX, I only took my meds thirty minutes ago and already feel fucked, this is poison I am taking. Ether is up, Bitcoin the same, Gold, Silver and Brent crude not much change. I had fun yesterday in lieu of Jabu, tried my old tricks and it was good, Jabu does not mind if I do it in front of her, I get a goodbye kiss when she goes to work, fucking around with my bluetooth speaker now, works well on MX Linux 21. 02:27 SAST Jabu had a more powerful bluetooth speaker but she borrowed it to her brother Zwe. Yesterday's Vivaldi was good on Youtube. I had a dip just now with my African Lion Dog. I keep calling him Bono. As the sun rises it gets a bit cool. 05:48 SAST Time to relax. I wait for the auto electrician but he was robbed and has to buy new tools. Tyson is a bit scared to stay outside. He prefers to lie under the big fan in the lounge. After consulting with my second Doctor, he said the same, I should not use wheat with my meds so I am out of stock anyway but had a good few days. That was not too much of a good idea even though I went to sleep during and woke up at...
10/12/2021 03:53 SAST Friday and booted into Deepin 20.3 from Mageia 8 and am now on Ubuntu Linux 21.04 which always seems to have updates, pity I can't get HPLIP right otherwise it would be 100%. Robert says I can clean the house and do the 1020 square garden myself after working from 00:01 till 07:00 on my laptop every day almost. Today I woke late and has a good night's sleep. Bitcoin and Ether are not doing too well even though Ripple seems ok. Since I have been using Ubuntu Linux for over a year now I find it to be the most stable and best OS bar HPLIP with which I am not the only one that is having hassles with, I wish Mark would release the 5.15 Kernel image so my touch pad works after fourteen months on Ubuntu Linux. Today since December the 16th 2006 the year Tata passed away I still wonder who sponsored fosscds.co.za with there uncompetive behaviuor under cutting my prices by a third and selling faulty DVD's. Who opens a Linux business in December holidays anyway. This morning whilst Jabu was bathing she opened her legs for me and let me finger her a bit, it was nice for us. I need kisses, hugs and a bit of ingquza now and again even though I can only get it up in the mornings rock hard lately just enough to come, must be the mild mania. Ubuntu Linux 21.04 installed an update and has asked me to reboot. 10:14 SAST. Had a busy day, had three offers on Mama's house, it's basically sold. We had pilchards and rice for supper and I retired after Uzalo as usual. Oh yes I wanked and came for the second day in the row on the couch, in the morning, must be the Lord at work.
11/12/2021 00:37 SAST Saturday Went back to sleep and woke again at 03:01 SAST. There is a bit of rain and slight thunderstorm, of course the elecricity went off at 04:09 SAST, typical ESC in the hilly billy sticks, Malangeni some times does not have electricity for days.04:26 SAST I have put Ububtu Linux 21.04 in power saving mode, I am still waiting for Canonical to release Kernel 5.15 or better. Let me go get my Rooibos tea. Lucky we have gas two plate stove. Which is not allowed in some flat's in Scottburgh, especially the flat I am intrested in. I still have received nothing in writing from Robert regarding the flat offer. He is too scared of his Indian wife Rebecca, has to ask her permission for everything, must be 24 C in my office now with the fan off, I wanted to buy a small generator long ago but they are too noisy for the neighbours. The bird's are chirping as usual and Jabu and Tyson are sleeping. 04:40 SAST, I think I will go for a dip in the rain. Oh yes the estate agent say swe will have to move out around April 2022, Jabu and I will try find a place to rent in Pennington, a small cottage or servant's quarters. I don't want to be under the control of Robert and Rebecca. They can stick their flat, right time for the dip, 04:45 SAST. 04:55 SAST nice dip the water must be 20 C but way too much chlorine and I have the small pool floater set on No. 1. At least the water does not turn green like it did in JHB. Water is crystal clear. Come on ESC, I have 69 % battery left over, almost a hour now. I received a small donation this week for my book. I wish Canonical would really release a new kernel for Ubuntu Linux 20.04.3 LTS, I thought it was my bluetooth freezing 20.04.3 LTS but it's not. fosscds.co.za. Right it's been exactly an hour without electricity. Fuck it's stuffy and hot in here. Let me go in naked mode. My above ground pool takes 2300 litres at 90 %, 608 gallon's. Unfortunatly even though I have a Polish passport I cannot go back to Poland as I will not get a pension nor free meds, viva ANC viva. Long live President Cyril Ramaphosa. Almost two hours without electricity, let me go check if I received a SMS from ESC. We spent a lazy Saturday with me dipping and Jabu relaxing after work. I ate left over pap for late lunch and Jabu made sandwitches at 20:00 SAST, this fucking numlock does not come on boot with Mageia 8 and catches me out every fucking time. I retired early as usual.
12/12/2021 03:15 SAST Sunday,a new week. The time I put here is not necessary the time I wake up. Mama's house has had three offers on Friday so it's basically sold if Robert accepts the offers, he want's more, which will not work out. Jabu is pissed off and want's to go back to her mother's in April 2022. I am trying to find a place in Pennington for us to stay with Tyson. Last week I had quite a week, I was feeling quite horny and manged to come three times on the couch and used my toys as well. I have not been right since 7th September 2021 but each day I feel better, too much stress from Jabu and Robert with this house sale.
13/12/2021 04:57 SAST Monday Smoked some wheat last night against two Doctor's orders. But my Sangoma says I need to. Woke up very late. Had a good night's sleep because of the wheat. Busy drinking my first cup today, Turkish brew. Tyson is doing well. We did not have a good weekend. I feed Tyson at 06:00 and 18:00, he has quite an appetite. Mageia 8 froze last night so I had to hard reboot. "rkhunter" shows a lot of suspect files and rootkits which it did not show last week. I am feeling much better, just I need some ingquza. According to our sale agreement dated 03/02/2021 Rakish took over my TSR on that date but still has not paid the fine of 200 ZAR as somehow the TSR landed up in my name till the 11/11/2021. So so far Ubuntu Linux 20.4.3 LTS is freezing on my HP 250 G5, I thought it was the bluetooth speaker and now Mageia 8 has frozen, wonderful. I am still wondering who had enough bucks to sponsor fosscds.co.za for five years, must have been a big company. But I traced them back in 2007 and I know who it is. Finally another good night's sleep, wheat is sweet. Let's hope I don't go crazy like pyscho as the two Doctor's said. Today Mr P promised to come to fit a stronger battery to my Elantra. Even though the other mechanic says it's my relay, we shall see. The Dolby audio is quite good on my Lenovo S145, can't play it too loud though, Robert my brother refuses to pay for the domestic worker and garden services Christmas bonus or part thereof from April 2021 even though Mama's property looked nice for the client's viewing the property. Robert says I can clean the house myself and do the garden myself after waking up at 00:01 most night's and being on S3, S4 and S5 meds and he want's us to buy a flat in his name, like fuck. One can't trust him and Rebecca his Indian wife, they promised me a second hand iPhone 6s once and negated on that. Let me go have a cup of coffee and feed Tyson. Rooibos tea does not taste so good in the morning. No fresh chicken's at Checkers last week so we had beef stew and phuthu at 16:00 yesterday evening, beef stew compliments of Jabu's boss. I will listen to Catholic online Mass through my bluetooth speaker this morning when Jabu is gone to work. Let me feed Tyson, 06:11 SAST. Touch pad is grafting nicely. 12:32 SAST Mageai 8 froze again when coming out of sleep, looks like I am been hacked again. I am on Deepin 20.03 kernel 5.10 now. I will not use wheat for a week and see how I sleep and feel. I don't have any more stock anyhow. I feel very much relaxed and more confident on wheat. Jabu gave me an extra long kiss yesterday and this morning and she let me touch her padda in the bath this morning. 12:50 SAST let me upload to the world with this red thing of mine deeply planted. It feels so good when I am mild mania. Looks like Mr P is not coming with the battery. Monday he is always busy. Jabu after a hard days work should be home at 16:00. She grafts real hard but does not understand how I can ly on the sofa since 2003 when I opened my AMPPOL IT Linux CD"S and DVD's business. They forget I get up at 00:01 most nights and sit in front of the screen like I used to since 2003 in JHB. 23:39 SAST just woke up a while back, drinking leftover Rooibos.
14/12/2021 00:00 SAST Tuesday Going to be a long day. We start the morning with the red thing firmly planted. Let me go brew some Turkish brew. Jabu went off to work upset with me. At 09:35 SAST my brother in law came to visit and asked for some work so I told him to clean the house but he does not like it. Green likes little work for lots of buck's and want's to finish in a hurry. I spent the day waiting for Mr P and accept the offers given to my brother and I from the estate agent. 18:20 SAST Jabu and Tyson are back from the beach can you believe it in under one and one half hours. Like I said I had a tense day waiting for folks to pitch up, only the estate agent did. 18:27 SAST Jabu is cooking now. Pap and russian"s, I retired at 20:35 SAST.
15/12/2021 02:19 SAST Wednesday Mama's house is almost sold, once the bucks are in the bank I will be happy. We have two offers. Bitcoin is sitting at 44 250 USD per coin at 02:48 SAST. Our domestic worker which helped me pack resigned on Monday, I am glad, she chatted too much with Jabu, Pume told Jabu everything I said. I had the luck of the devil that Green pitched up yesterday. At last summer is here, It's been hot the last week. Drinking my second cup now, Rooibos tea. What a mission it was for me to sell Mama's house with folks coming in and out, I am glad it's over, now for the price of crypto to go up will be just befuck. Mr P said yesterday that he will pitch with the battery this morning. Let me go update Microsoft Windows 10. 03:19 SAST. On my S145. So I updated Windows 10 on both my HP 250 G5 and Lenovo S145, took fifteen minutes on the S145 a lot longer on the 250 G5. What a difference a i5 makes. Been fucking around watching TV today and waiting for Mr P and Mrs P. Robert recons he has a better offer on Mama's house. Bitcoin has been hovering at 48 200 USD per coin all day. Jabu's boss gave me some shaving lotion in a tube, wow what good stuff, must be real expensive. I have quite an appetite lately, wonder what's for supper. I picked up Jabu at the shops and we had rice and chicken livers for supper. Jabu also took Tyson for a walk to the beach.
16/12/2021 02:23 SAST Thursday It's a bank holiday here today. Mr P did not pitch up yesterday but his idea of a bigger test battery will not work anyway, it's the relay that's faulty. Time flies It's 03:43 SAST already and Bitcoin has gone uo to 48 877 USD per coin. Afternoon, Jabu and I have a big argument, I can see she is unhappy with this Scottburgh flat story. We make up later that night.
17/12/2021 03:25 SAST Friday Had a bad night's sleep. Was up and down the whole time for a piss. It rained the whole night. 03:30 SAST will boot into Mageia 8 and leave it to see if it freezes again. Mageia 8 is still full of suspect files and rootkits. No updates this morning but Ubuntu Linux 21.04 had some updates. Bitcoin does not want to move up or down, it's sitting at 47 840 USD per coin at 03:58 SAST. Looks like I will not have a 100% working car for Christmas. I lifted the bonnet the other day and noticed that my fuse box cover is loose and there is a blue live wire running to somewhere, the fuse box cover can fall off when I am driving, the clips have been broken. Fuck this. Never had such shit workmanship in JHB, then I knew my mechanic's well, they where Tata's connections. To top it all 6.1 ZAR in my Cool drink holder so the thieving cunts stole 5 ZAR. Can't hear the birds chirping this morning, maybe the music is too loud, no I think it's the rain. Here they are now the birds. Jabu is still thinking whether she will eat Xmas with me, she is also tired of this ED story and want's a hard penis. I have not fucked her for a long time, this year has been a bad year for sex, now she does not even want oral sex. 04:40 SAST let me upload and have a cuppa of Rooibos tea or maybe cool drink. Let me go relax, it's fucking cool this morning, too cold for me, 04:52 SAST. Did sweet fuck all during the day except sleep, eat and watch TV. Retired at 18:00 SAST. And woke at 23:02 SAST. Bitcoin is not doing too well, 46 506 USD per coin at 23:17 SAST.
18/12/2021 00:00 SAST Saturday Nothing much. We will eat beef stew and phuthu tonight and Jabu bought Tyson some pet mince and bones with her tip money from today. In sixteen days Tyson has eaten about eight kg of dog food, he looked so small on the video but at least he is eating, like I said I feed him twice a day. The cooked bones where not a good idea, Tyson swallowed them whole. 23:37 SAST, brewing my Turkish brew, fuck I am thirsty. Went to sleep before 19:30 SAST.
19/12/2021 00:00 SAST The weather should be better today with a bit of sun but cool, I had three dips which where ice cold. Retired very early. Can't put up with Jabu's bad mood.
20/12/2021 02:51 SAST Monday, looks like I am being fucked around again, no updates on Ubuntu Linux 20.04 and Mageia 8. I have been feeling quite horny the last ten days but no pussy only a touch now and again. 09:30 SAST Still no word of my battery from Mr P.
21/12/2021 00:30 SAST Tyson comes to our bedroom winning, he needs to go out. Today is eight month's since Mama passed away, I will light a candle for her now. 02:00 SAST been watching TV in the meantime. At last an update on Ubuntu Linux 20.04, Firefox.
22/12/2021 01:23 SAST I go to the kitchen and Tyson want's to go out again. I brew my Turkish coffee. Updates on Mageia 8 and a new kernel at Last. Jabu has become so unpleasant after work that I go to sleep early these days. She recons her job is to cook and that's it. Mageai 8 has failed me at the end of the year, must be the 5.15 kernel, keeps freezing overnight.
Lazy day, Jabu went to Umzinto today for her mother, also bought some beetroot, I like beetroot soup on Xmas eve and fish, now to get hold of some fish. I remember the days when Mama was well and used to cook brilliant Xmas eve and Xmas day food, Polish style. Never again. I will purchase some ham for Xmas morning and attempt to make Mama's Xmas vegetable salad with tinned veggies, gherkins and mayo served cold from the fridge. The last Xmas I spent without Mama was when I was in the pyschc ward. Let's hope Jabu does not fuck up this Xmas. I was quite happy that my Elantra made it to Park Rynie and back the other day, I did not turn off the engine at Park Rynie though. I dipped a few times today in 20 C water, it's so nice.
23/12/2021 02:23 SAST Thursday, Bitcoin has gone down again, yesterday Bitcoin was sitting nicely. 04:07 SAST Bitcoin is at 48 446 USD per coin.
24/12/2021 03:15 SAST Friday The cryto's are up, Bitcoin is over 51 100 USD per coin. I spend most of my day watching the crypto monitor hoping the crypto's will go up, this morning was a nice surprise. I had beetroot soup and fish for supper. the beetroot soup turned out very well but a bit too much evaporation.
25/12/2021 Merry Christmas
For late breakfast we had rolls, ham and I remembered how to make Mama's salad, tin of mixed veg, gherkins, chopped apple's, mayo, boiled egg all chilled from the freezer. Zack and his friend's dropped off some milk Jabu forgot at her mother's and they finished breakfast with us. For a late lunch we had turkey, I fell asleep so it was slightly overdone as usual. But very eatable. The morning started off with a text from Jabu to me which led to a pleasant morning's oral love making, twice. Jabu gyrated her pussy as I licked her pussy. So nice to finally touch Jabu's naked body and kiss her soft lips. Jabu had some red wine and I stuck to my tea, coffee and cold drink's, no wheat now for many days. I am feeling really good. I have Ripple, Ether and of course Bitcoin which stays at the same price more or less, Bitcoin has been floating around 50 200 USD per coin. I don't have much and am ready to sell if the price start's to drop. It's a thrill to have a bit of crypto for me since August 2020. I eat very fast and sometimes remember what Mama used to say, eat slowly and enjoy your food.
26/12/2021 00:37 SAST Had a sip of yesterday's Turkish brew and am now waiting for my Rooibos. 02:00 SAST exactly, just came out the pool, had a nice cool swim. Don't feel like sitting at the laptop, maybe will go watch a movie. Went to sleep and woke again at 06:30 SAST. Ubuntu Linux 20.04 is doing well but no updates during the holidays. Spent a lazy day with Jabu and Tyson, went for a short walk with Tyson but it's irritating with all the K9's barking as one walks past the houses.
27/12/2021 01:23 SAST Monday Always in a good mood when I wake up and Bitcoin is doing well. 01:54 SAST Bitcoin is 50 796 USD per coin. Woke at 23:32 SAST and watched TV music videos.
28/12/2021 00:00 SAST Tuesday still watching TV.
29/12/2021 02:12 SAST Wednesday Bit nerve racking this crypto business with it going up and down, yesterday it dropped. And Bitcoin now stands at 47 700 USD per coin at 02:31 SAST. To top it all I have toothache for two days now. Let me go get my Turkish brew.
30/12/2021 01:15 SAST Thursday So hot went for a swim but my tooth hurts with the cool water. At 16:01 SAST sold all my crypto, it's useless watching crypto going up and down and recently it's being going dowm, just can't risk it, lost a few hundred ZAR in December but at least the Bitcoin, Ether and Ripple kept me busy, now I will be totally bored out my mind but have a few bucks. Woke at 23:45 SAST. Sleep so much during the day that I wake early.
31/12/2021 00:00 SAST Friday Watching music video's now. Still no updates on Ubuntu Linux 20.04 which is strange. My personal distro of the year goes to Mageai Linux 8
01/01/2022 03:01 SAST Saturday Slept right through New year. Jabu cooked mutton breyani for late lunch. Let's hope the Lord is kind to us and does not split Jabu and I apart in the new year.
02/01/2022 08:34 SAST Sunday, slept late did not wake, just had a shower, thank you God for giving me hot running water.
07/01/2022 09:07 SAST So the days go by waiting for what will be, so far I have not found any place for Jabu, Tyson and I to stay. I will have a very large inheritance but a bit useless if we don't have a roof over our head. The inheritance is too small to purchase a house. Bitcoin has crashed again and at 09:12 SAST is sitting at 41 261 USD per coin. I have been going to bed early these days and wake around 06:00 SAST. Finally been getting updates on Ubuntu Linux 21.04 and a kernel update as well. GRUB does not see the new kernel so I have to boot into Mageia 8 and fix it by reinstalling the boot loader.
08/01/2022 01:28 SAST Saturday Woke early for a change. Boil on armpit still painful, get these fucking boils from the meds I am sure. Bitcoin not doing too well, sitting at 41 675 USD per coin at 02:07 SAST. The last two days I took Tyson for a twenty five minute walk but my back really fucks out. We had mutton phutu for supper, delicious. Retired at 20:35 SAST and woke at 22:05 SAST with a really fustrating feeling, fell asleep on the couch and woke at ...
09/01/2022 01:05 SAST Sunday Woke with a stiff neck from my couch. Had a 02:20 SAST shave and skinny dip. So my brother contacted me yesterday and is still keen on purchasing a flat in Scottburgh but some of these levies are so high. Jabu came home from work a little early and cooked Chicken a la King with potato sald. Very nice. We have deceided if I move into a flat in Scottburgh I will drive Jabu to work everyday and see how long my inheritance lasts.
10/01/2022 20:10 SAST battled to fall asleep again, took somw Allergex and more (1mg) of Rivitrol and fell asleep.
11/01/2022 06:32 SAST Slept right through the night.
12/01/2022 08:26 Slept ten hours last night. This morning I was watching the news and they had a little girl getting ready for school, so sad it reminded me of my daughter whom I have not seen for over twenty years. Last time I saw my daughter was when she was five. I made a big fuckup taking on Tyson, I thought Mama's house would take a year or two to sell and now it's sold. What am I am going to do with Tyson, the poor K9 has got so used to us. It brings tears to my eyes thinking of Tyson these last few days. This morning is quite cool but I think I am going to jump into the pool anyway.
13/01/2012 07:35 SAST What an unlucky 13th. I took Jabu to work with my Elantra and on the way to Checkers my engine cut out. Very kind African guys tried to push start me and jump start the Elantra but no go. The tow truck arrived at 10:00 and now the hassle might be the transponder in the key ignition. I also found out from my mechanic that my car was running on only three cylinders, my one spark plug is dead. What a fucked up day, it's 22:14 SAST now and I can't sleep. I eventually fell asleep, Green, Jabu's brother who was supposed to go to Checkers with me stayed overnight. We had pap and Umzinto pork for supper. The pork was very soft, just right for my teeth. I had the terrible cramps in my ankles for some reason. Green emptied my pool as it was starting to get dirty and now I have lovely fresh water. It was very hot last night, I turned on the outside light and had a skinny dip.
14/01/2022 02:30 SAST Hope today will be a better day. 03:40 SAST, Wow it's hot so I went for a skinny dip to cool down. I don't dry myself so I keep cool for a while, I don't know what I am going to do in Scottburgh without a pool. I am sure it's my BP that goes up and makes my face so hot. Yesterday Green bought me some Peter Stuyvesant and my mouth does not feel so horrible but I can't afford to smoke those. I must say it's 04:09 SAST now and I still feel cool. Spent the day with Green watching TV and chatting. Went to bed at 20:00 SAST and suddenly woke ate 23:00 SAST. Watched TV.
14/01/2022 00:00 SAST Friday Watched some more TV and went to bed but can't sleep. 01:04 SAST. This typing is boring me. Apparently it's my crankshaft sensor which if fucked in my Elantra now.
15/01/2022 10:05 SAST Saturday Jabu went to Umzinto to do her hair and buy some meat. Funds are low. My headaches stopped on Friday afternoon. I pray which I should not because it does not work that my Elantra will be fixed this week.
16/01/2022 03:48 SAST Sunday Both Mageai 8 and Ubuntu Linux 20.04 updated systemd, strange, Mageai needed a reboot but Ubuntu not. Since I installed Deepin my GRUB is slighly fucked, I can only boot into Ubuntu by choosing the Mageai in GRUB. Never happened to me on my Centrino nor my 250 G5. This S145 BIOS is a bit fucked. So the days go by waiting for March April 2022 till we move out to God knows where. Oh yes when I went for a swim yesterday morning there was a 1.5 meter brown snake which slithered away from me towards the fence, great now I am a bit wary of going for a swim at night but I am getting quite hot now so I am going anyway and will take my torch with me. 04:19 SAST. 04:33 SAST that was a nice skinny dip, so cool. Oh yes Tyson is feeling a bit under the weather, Friday I had to coax him to eat and Saturday he would not eat breakfast but eventually ate supper, late. 05:45 SAST I wanked and managed to cum for a change, at last. It was good. Jabu is sleeping.

How I feel today 23/12/2021 at 04:00 SAST, relaxed, good mood, the wheat kicked me into a fab frame of mind, Dominic's birthday was on the 6th of December, I lit a candle for him, he was the only Pawinski that congratulated me on my wedding day at 09:00 but the wedding was African style and only started at 11:00, Dom passed away at the age of 53, happy to have a K9 and sad I will loose my life's collection over the last thirty years of collectables, lucky I smoke, I thought I had gum cancer but a retired Dentist from Warsaw told me otherwise, was day of the dead, all Saint's day, on the 1st November 2021, Poles go and visit grave yards in Poland to remember their loved ones. well rested. But NAFI and sad, I get the incorrect intel that my family member is in Scottburgh (27/10/2021) without telling me he is coming, he will come to Mama's house and shout at me. I am sure he will go look for flats in Scottburgh for me if he keeps his word. I will not drive in a car with him, he drives at 130 km/h on the R102 between Pennington and Scottsburgh. Like most folks from Pennington do, even they used to overtake my TSR on the Umzinto river bridge. Mama passed away more than six months ago, but had a good nights sleep, apprehensive of the Bitcoin price falling and happy the Elantra is in good hand's now, bit anxious, the Hyandai Elantra 2005 1.6 GLS cost me 58 500 ZAR to date, in 2005 it was a hell of a good car, just bush mechanics have worked on it, 16/10/2021, 26/10/2021 cannot drive my Elantra as the brakes are not kosher. Had a good short four hour sleep. Much better now that my brother actually communicated with me and sent me a link of a flat in Scottburgh of a flat on auction. The reserve price is 525K ZAR but offers will be accepted from 500K ZAR. But the levy is 4800 ZAR. There is also a 45 square flat for sale in Scott street, huge according to European standards, lovely can't open the windows as I would breath in the exhaust fumes of the continual traffic, Monday to Saturday. So from a 320 square house in JHB which took Tata nineteen years to build on weekends and holidays to a 140 square house in Pennington to an unknown size flat in Scottburgh or to sleeping in my Hyandai Elantra near the beach. At least Jabu can go back to her mother's house, pity the deal we had in iNkombo got fucked up by Miss Asithandile Mgnadi. (Maybe the Lord did not want me to stay in iNkombo, the para's would have stabbed me for my TV and laptop, whilst I was swimming in my above ground pool) 02:14 SAST let me have a break as Bitcoin sits at 61 424 USD per coin, that's 918 000 ZAR per coin. I wonder what Joe Biden deceided on the 15th October 2021 or is the executive order on Monday 18th October 2021. Mr P agreed I pay him 1500 ZAR over three month's, 26/10/2021 07:42 SAST even though he gave me back my Elantra with the starter or battery not working and the trim fucked on the passenger side, the battery was tested and a new starter fitted, same story, once the engine on the Elantra is hot she will not start, have to wait one hour for the Elantra to cool down then she starts and did I mention the brakes failed on me, the rear brakes are not clamping, the discs are rusted. Mr P tied my DOHC 16 V engine cover with one green cable tie and one has a bolt missing. He is yet to come and repair my trim on the passenger side, seems more like sabotage to me. He did say Mark Pillay came to visit him whilst my car was at Mr P's workshop and that he knows Mark Pillay for fifteen years.
Pennington wildlife sanctuary:
I will dearly miss Pennington. I love dawn when only the birds are chirping and I go for my sunrise and sunset dip.
As of 8th December 2021 my fav Distro's on my S145 are:
The release date for Ubuntu Linux 21.10 was 14th October 2021. I want to shrink my Windows 11 partition on my S145 and install MX 21 Linux KDE Plasma, but it's very dangerous operation. The only reason I have Ubuntu Linux 20.10 in forth place on my S145 is that I can't get HPLIP right except on Mageai 8, MX Linux 21 and HP Smart on Windows 10. It's very possible and probable that I was hacked that's why Ubuntu Linux 20.04.3 kept freezing when coming out of sleep, I will check it out the next few days, installed 5.15 Kernel on Mageai 8 on my 250 G5.
The cross on the left I bought Mama as a gift in Sabie, February 2012 when Ewa and I went on timeshare at Pine Lake Inn. Mama always used to wear it when she went out. The very top Neviile God bless his soul, handed them out at St Claire's Catholic church one Wednesday, he passed away in SummerHill Lodge at the age of ninety two. I don't remember where I obtained the one with the Pope nor the one with Mother Mary. The one off Mother Mary needs to be polished up, I just found it the other day whilst cleaning out my office.
19/09/2020 06:12 CAT Saturday Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, I received the Lenovo S145 i5 on the 16/09/2020 a Wednesday, thank you very much Mrs M from South Africa, Mama. With 8 gigs of RAM it is a mid range laptop but miles faster than my Celeron. What a mission it was to install Linux on it. I first tried Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS but the WIFI and touchpad would not work. I then tried Mageia 7 and updated Mageia 7 to Mageia Beta 8 but still no go. Debian Buster 10, X would not start. PClinuxOS Full Monty would not graft with the WIFI even though on all off the for three days I tried to install, git dkms and build essentials, PCLinuxOS came close, I was about to return the laptop when I tried one last thing, Ubuntu 20.10 Beta on the 18/09/2020, and the WIFI works except for the touchpad. I will not tell Mama about it as she will be heart broken that she bought me such an expensive gift. I will eventually sort out the touchpad. Ubuntu 20.10 Beta only grafts with legacy set in the BIOS. I am now typing this on my new S145. Ubuntu has always had a hassle with pasting with my MX 1100 middle button. i am waiting for Mageia 8 final to be released and will give Mageia another go. As you know I don't use Windows 10 much so I need a laptop where Linux grafts. I used a lot of data trying to get Linux to work on the S145. But now I have the WIFI working I am happy and I don't use the touchpad much anyway. 04:05 19/09/2020 I updated Ubuntu 20.10 Beta on my S145 and then downloaded MX Linux, I flashed it and still the WIFI would not work. So I thought I would try Mangero 20.1 KDE Plasma as it was released a few days ago and is based on Arch which I have not tried before. First I tried Ubuntu's 20.10 Beta start up disk creator but it would not work so I tried isodumper on my Mageia 8 Beta on my HP Celeron but that failed as well. When I tried "dd" on my HP Celeron on Debian Buster 10 it somegow filled up my / so I have to fix that. Eventually PCLinuxOS came to the rescue and I managed to flash Mangero on my HP Celeron. So I installed Mangero 20.1 on my S145 and true as fuck the WIFI works but not the touchpad. 23:52 I am waiting for midnight to proceed further. At midnight I will test Mangero 20.1 further on my S145. 00:04 20/09/2020. All is going well with Mangero 20.1, my MX 1100 mouse works nicely on Mangero 20.1, so now I have tried Arch. 21/09/2020 01:01 Whilst I was about it I updated PCLinuxOS and at last the new kernel works after 5 or 6 duds after the stock kernel. Thanks Texstar. I booted in Debian Buster 10.5 and it worked fine with enough free space. I am now going to update Mageia Beta 1 on my 250 G5 whilst I type on my S145, the next thing is to set up NFS but it is a long time since I did that blindfolded. 21/09/2020 02:00 I booted into Windows 10 on my S145 with a bit of a hit and miss trying to get used to the S145 BIOS, I think I have it figured out now. It took three hours to download and install the Windows 10 2004 feature update and another two hours of rebooting and installing by that time I had fallen asleep at 05:00 or so, when I woke at 06:58 Windows 10 just finished the feature update and all seemed fine, strange PCLinuxOS and Mangero are also rolling releases and PCLinuxOS takes twenty five minutes to install a kernel and 284 packages on my 250 G5, well done Microsoft. 22/09/2020 02:15 installed kernel 5.9rc as well as dkms in grub on Mangero 20.1 and touchpad works. I am begining to like Mangero 20.1 KDE Plasma. 03:40 22/09/2020 I booted into Ubuntu Linux with kernel 5.8 and my touchpad works on my S145. 22/09/2020 19:45 Ubuntu 20.10 Beta is working well, I have noticed in the past that most Ubuntu Beta releases work well. Ubuntu Linux 20.10 will only be released on the 22nd October 2020. Just my MX 1100 mouse is not too koscher on Ubuntu as the MX 1100 is over ten years old and is almost dead. Ubuntu Linux 20.10 Beta was released officially on the 02/10/2020 but I am using the current daily build so I have been calling my Ubuntu Linux 20.10, Beta. I am trying to click my S2 as gentle as possible as the MX 1100 I had to hit the button hard.
