Some back ground info of myself

buzpro — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 11:53:58 +0000

It’s been a while since I blogged about something, so here we go. I thought I might share some of my life experiences. Life has been great and can only get better. Upon leaving school I was skateboarding for many years after entering competitions and winning many of them. I worked in little stores and did the odd job here and there and even worked in the Pretoria state theatre. I welded and made sure that the balcony for the Rock Horror picture show was stable. This was many years ago. Anyway, I landed up working on the mines. Well, that lasted for about 4 years and ended in 1996 when I broke my back. I had to teach myself other skills and this then lead me to support people with issues using various things from mobiles, computers, printer etc.

During the above period I played in various bands as a hobby and also did some home recording projects. Some were good and some bad. I met my wife and we have two of the most beautiful kids.

Now after all these years it is time to move on and see if I can break through doing something else; and hopefully being successful with this new venture.

Have you ever thought

Have you ever been wondering what your calling is in the career department. I have, and I must say that everyday it becomes a little harder to cope because you have spent so much time trying to make it in the corporate world that you have forgotten how to live.

You don’t spend a lot of quality time with your family and when you do you’re there but not completely. Your mind is somewhere else trying to think where the next buck is going to come from and if it will be enough to survive. Times are tough and work is few, so now I start to think to myself “why did I give so much of my time to something else that never gave anything of value back?”

Family should ALWAYS be put first and everything else after. Live your life now and be grateful for what you have and everything else will follow.

Just a thought.

Free Fax-to-E-mail… IT REALLY IS FREE…

Mignon Dehning — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 09:04:18 +0000

So many people, too many people – in fact, think that there’s this huge catch when signing up for FREE Fax-to-E-mail.

But there isn’t, I promise

That’s why it the word is there “free” according to wikipedia means:

The English term gratis has its origins in late Middle English; from Latin. A contraction of gratiis, meaning ‘as a kindness’, which in turn stems from the root gratia meaning ‘grace’ or ‘kindness’. It is widely used in the French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Bahasa Indonesia, Scandinavian and German languages, with the same meaning.

Those that want it can click here free_fax_to_email and sign up, someone sends you a fax number once you receive the fax number and it goes straight to your e-mail, where you can choose to print it, save it, frame it or discard it.

It’s that freaking easy and a whole lot more convenient.

Try it… it’s truly gratis

My phone fell in water, HELP!!!!

buzpro — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 07:58:06 +0000

Have you ever dropped your phone is liquid? Well needless to say that cell phones and liquids do NOT work hand in hand with each other.

If this happens to you all you need to remember is to remove the battery immediately and shake the access water off. Using a hair dryer on mid temperature dry the back of the phone where the battery is inserted for about 10 minutes. Turn the phone around and do the same on the face. Turn around again and repeat at the back.

Place the phone on tissue or toilet paper and leave it there for approximately 24 hours. Your phone should work but the life span of the phone won’t be as long as you would have hoped for as oxidization has started to take effect.

I hope this helps.

Some fun “FREE” Blackberry Applications

Mignon Dehning — Wed, 25 May 2011 10:02:16 +0000

We are always being asked what Blackberry applications we’re using when we put a fun and happy emoticon on a BBM or on FB, or other social networks, so I’ve decided to put some here

I’m not going to be inserting links or anything, but if you go into your BB Application World, log in you’d be able to download them straight from there, and if you can’t find them, just search for them, it’s easy peasy. They’re all “FREE” – I only download the free ones!

For some fun emoticons and to create an avatar of yourself – you have to download Jingu

So far these you can paste into any social network and they’re super cute.

Another has to be the Excuse Generator

Quite a fun one to have, but not always practical LOL

Sometimes you get some that might come in handy!

Obviously Twitter, Facebook, and WordPress and Blackberry Messenger is a must if your a social butterfly or bat!

Whatsapp Messenger - for those poor buggers that don’t have a Blackberry and have other cell phones, it works like BBM, exactly like BBM!!

And before I forget, like on your computer if you have FB chat, you can have it on your Blackberry too – just search for Free Chat for Facebook in the BB Application World, works exactly the same.

That’s about it for now, will add more when I come across them, there are plenty of games, but I don’t play games much on my phone, I would rather play Angry Birds on hubby’s phone

Seriously though – do yourselves a favour, take some time and just go through your BB Application World, there are tons of applications, and let us know which ones you like.

Are you tired of “Angry Birds” like I am?

buzpro — Wed, 11 May 2011 12:04:26 +0000

Are you tired of “Angry Birds” like I am? Well now there’s a new game that is rather addictive.

I have discovered a new “Android” game that involves a little thinking but is rather fun and gory at the same time. It is called “Stupid Zombies”. Like “Angry Birds” you actually have to aim a missile so that it bounces around and kills the “Zombies” using the least effort and missiles to gain high scores.

You have 5 missiles in which you have to kill all Zombies before proceeding to the next level. As you move through the levels things become hairy and more strategically, as now you have to plan the routes for your missiles to travel.

You have one man with one shotgun and many “Stupid Zombies”.

You can download the game for your “Android” phone from:

This game is brought to you by Gamersoft…….nice one.
