UNDER OATH...
(begun Sunday 20th November at 4.25am...)
*I've just tried uploading one of my pictures from Picasa to this blog and fail at each attempt. Not a problem I've had in the past, as you are aware. Anyone dare to point at the Creep and insist he leave me alone in that department? *
I'd happily swear under oath that the hadedas roosting in the valley feel the change in the air the minute Balliram cranks up the system.. A whole bunch of them out there in the dark have suddenly protested noisily at their rude awakening.. *grins.. In fact, it's like Warwick Avenue used to be on Market day, it's that busy out there all of a sudden...
The Telkom Box birds? They're fake. It took me long enough, hey Balliram? *chokes... The wirelessed nunus have a purpose, acting as an alarm system and quite possibly an audio-enhancer of sorts as well, but if this noisy and invisible bird has a function, it escapes me, and that's what's had me dithering for so long...
I guess I'll settle on pure entertainment value created to keep a bored Controller amused? Bingo? I grant you it's clever, and the Creep has it down to a fine art after the years of practise he's had.. He can set it off calling right down at Kasim's pole in the valley, and get it to answer from ours.. *blinks...
The problem with this little wirelessed miracle is that it's restricted to one set of poles, and someone quicker than me would have picked up on it years ago.. *sheepish...
Basically a harmless bit of fun, though with a bit of luck it'll disturb the lighter sleepers nearby and drag them from their slumbers, giving Balliram another means of feeding his insatiably malicious appetite.. *yawns...
So ja - it's official. The Telkom Box birds are as fake as the rapidly disintegrating cover our Area Controller wears....
It doesn't look like my friends power has been restored since yesterday when it was cut off at 9.45am, and our streetlight is still out. Mr. Sanctimonious next door will be totting up the hours to see if he's met his personal load-shedding quota yet, and if not, those Suckers will do without electricity until he has...
Gotta recoup the losses somehow hey Mr. Spence?
With so much more than the standard voltage pushing out from the streetlights alone, never mind the lights inside the homes that are activated for the Monitor's benefit, I'll bet the costs are way beyond anything that was ever predicted? Your bulbs keep popping? You've noticed the jack pins on several of your appliances get red-hot? You'd do well to invest in a reliable little plug-in voltage reader and keep a close eye on it, or who knows, you may be the next one calling out the Fire truck.. Loose pins/wires se GAT!!!!
We leave certain streetlights burning 24/7 to deter cable thieves, Mr. Spence? It costs thousands to replace a nicked cable, compared to what it costs to keep the lights running? Ahhh - the skillful use of the cunningly employed half-truths, hey Al old boy? *vomits...
If I'm talking so much kak, you won't mind if I tout those little voltage readers to certain people in particular? My Vice Chair for one, the Struggle Activist for another, and hmm... let's see now - how's about the young DA Councillor for Ward 31, and his colleague Warwick Chapman? While employing such a device would in no way keep their houses from being invaded via their powerlines, it may just force their Controllers to take more care when accessing the privacy of their chosen target's homes...
Oh - and while he's about it, Jethro may like to install one of those gadgets in his mum's home as well, as that abode is most assuredly wired to the max...*winks...
And no - Don't rely on any advice given by a kind acquaintance on what specific brand or make to purchase.. Do your own research and buy the best.. If you discover something that requires a qualified electrician to install it, then move on until you find something simpler that you, and only you can use... Course, that doesn't apply if you have an electrician in the family that can be trusted...
The GW and I had discussed aloud last night what time the Fashion Police was due to air... No surprises then that five minutes before the show began our screen was smacked to black? That wasn't the first time it happened yesterday either, and you can pretty much rest assured it will go off while I'm updating my blog online... *winks...
Come on, admit it. The Cracker you've admired for all these years is no more than a sadistic petty criminal, dancing to the tune of a Druglord FFS.... A Cracker who just happens to have a convicted Sex Offender as one of his closest buddies...You were set up Mistuh Nayager? Sure you were, pfft.....
These are the 'soldiers' recruited to fight this one-sided and devastating technological war. This is the scum so highly prized by Jannie van Zyl and his Superiors to assist in achieving their ultimate goal. A craven bunch that will have been hand-picked by Admins sitting in IRC chat channels and on Forums around the country... When you open your mouth you give yourself away (and my word, hasn't that been true in my case!), and no matter how cautious you are, ultimately someone sufficiently interested (like our amiable Strategist for instance) will get a handle on whether you're recruitment material or not...
You're pro fireworks? The louder the better? That's all it would take for Jannie to put a big fat tick next to your nick, and it's as simple as that... You're a racist? Your remarks display a certain callousness towards your fellow-man? You're IN Buster, and let the good times roll!!!
Join us on the #efnet trivia channel why don't you? *falls over laughing... Small wonder my java chat options have been permanently blocked, hey Balliram? We can't have the equally foul-mouthed FlipDeezy pointed out as a petty criminal now can we? Alas, the blockage was activated only after I'd already seen that huge list of Idlers sitting there like sheep, waiting for their next brain-washing session... *chokes...
Was our Dolby from mybroadband considered Controller material, or is he just another link in the chain, who has obligingly festooned his property with additional lights to promote the wireless signal? Still a happy ThickSkin Dolbs? No inexplicable aches in your knees or buzzing in your ears yet? Were you to have acquired these symptoms, has Jannie persuaded you to believe they're some sort of badge of honour to be endured with pride?
As little as you care for the truth young man, once you begin to feel the side-effects of your recruitment physically, you're well on your way to downgrading to the ThinSkin Clan, and hopefully Jannie can fool you into believing otherwise... *winks..
Did Mr. van Zyl ever tell you that without you and your fellow recruit's kind assistance the country will go to rack and ruin? Did he have to lay it on really thick to persuade you to sign on the dotted line? See, I don't think so... I think that in your case you would've been salivating at the thought of hacking into your nearby neighbour's system, and causing mischief for the suckers... Am I right?
Why pick on you? Geez bubba! You've run around for years with a banner flying that screams you're an arsehole, so why NOT you? Easily led, and with a penchant for cruelty, you were a prime cut laid out on the block for Mr. van Zyl's perusal...
It's nothing personal dude, I'm merely trying to illustrate that being skilled in the art of IT, doesn't automatically make you a brighter spark than the rest.. In fact, in the case of the recruitement centre, you would've been a pushover to convert to the Strategist's Cause...
Have you so much as bothered to read Karl Muller's posts? Or did your Idol intimate he'd be offended were his personal recruits to pay more than a passing and derisive interest to the Rocket Scientist's warnings? Have you completely avoided reading the truth as a result? You've got a funny feeling that Jannie is somehow aware of exactly who reads Muller's comments and who doesn't? I'm betting you'd be correct in that assumption... *grins...
Man, I'd say you were utterly enchanted by the idea of being a part of van Zyl's army, right? Bedazzled to the extent that Muller's dire predictions wash right on over your pointy head? Do you see yourself as some sort of heroic risk-taker, and you're fully prepared to take a chance that the medicine you're helping to administer to innocents won't come back to bite you?
Can I urge you to consider carefully whether you think your Mentor would give a rat's arse were you to begin experiencing blinding headaches for instance? Seriously?
It's grown light out, and it's yet another damp grey day, so far..*dances.. Will it be our turn to partake of Balliram's ongoing load-shedding exercise? Copper heading for Korea? Geez Louise - It's astonishing the lengths that Telkom will go to, to pull the wool over your eyes, but I guess the ultimate prize is well worth the additional effort.. Total control of a country and it's population isn't to be sneezed at, ne Janneman?
Peace..
