New Dimensions

So here we are on Black Friday - something I had no knowledge about until I Googled it. Yesterday I was doing the rounds visiting some clients when my scooter suddenly cut out under me. This was far from home. What to do? I lifted up the seat to access the battery where the fuse was questionable in the past, but I had forgotten to keep the screwdriver in the bike for emergencies. Slowly pushing the bike (like paddling) whilst sitting on it I continued with the road I was on, my mind trying to come up with a solution to my predicament. From previous posts you will see that this bike was a tricky lady and the mechanics that worked on her were not the best. They usually made all sorts of claims about how good they were but never delivered 100% on their promises. Anyway, continuing down the road I stopped opposite a small business operating from a home - they fix things like industrial polishers and floor scrubbers. I explained my predicament to the owner and he delegated ...

My screensaver on my computer I wake up and see it's 3:30 a.m. and go to the kitchen for a cup of tea. With my bible I settle into my lazy boy and open the Word at the beginning. There I read about how God created light and the account of how the earth was made. After reading that I get to the part that says, "Let us make people in our image to be like ourselves. They will be masters over all life. So God created people in his own image; God patterned them after himself; male and female he created them." Then God blessed them. A bit further on in the account I read about how he communicated with man. The rest of the bible is full of this communication between man and God. So I relax and think about this for a while until Maggie, my wife comes to the lounge and looks at the messages on her mobile phone. She discovers that my nephew committed suicide. Shocking news! My mind is full of questions about how this could have happened, but no answers come to mind. He seeme...

Pool safety is always a priority all year round, but as we are in the middle of Spring it is a good time to focus attention on making this a priority. After all, what is the life of your child worth? Is he or she safe around the pool when you are not there? What about small pets also? You can go to the website of SA Pool Nets and Covers to see two kids playing on one of the pools they fitted with a cover. The big bonus to having the cover over your pool is complete peace of mind. You also save on water evaporation, chemicals and dust or dirt landing in the water. There is also a slight increase in water temperature.  Why not contact the owner for a free quotation right away?

Responsive Website Design (RWD) - What is that? With so many people browsing the Internet on their mobile phones and tablets - outnumbering those using conventional laptops and desktop computers - us web masters have found ourselves in a position where we had to adapt quickly to this change. There is always something new to learn, hey.  Briefly RWD means that you can view a website on a mobile device without having to struggle to read what's there and without having to scroll sideways or enlarge the page on your screen. It is something completely user-friendly. My website had not been kept up to date since I was always working on someone else's site and never got around to fixing my own. Today I decided it's about time and got stuck in. If you visit http://www.ashworthweb.co.za you will see what I accomplished in one day. It's straight to the point - nice and lean as well as easy on the eye. Since I have been converting my clients' websites to RWD...

On 4 September 2015 I created a mobile responsive website for an Afrikaans Private School called Nesher ( http://nesherprivaatskool.co.za/ ). Private schools are important institutions that educate our children and provide an important function in our society. We definitely need smart kids who will lead in the future. Nesher is one of those places that nurtures future leaders. They also make use of Learning Receptiveness Profiles, a brain-based assessment tool to determine the neurological wiring of a child, discovering how uniquely they process information, in which mode they prefer to learn, their emotional readiness for learning and it also indicates areas for further development. To learn more about how this cutting edge technology can help you, click on this link  http://www.neurolink.company/#!assessments/c1c5f . Today I posted more photographs to their Opportunities page (Geleenthede) . The photos show the wide variety of activities the pupils enjoy at Nesher. The chi...
