While writing a blog post a day has helped me get through the worst, I am now ready to let go of this routine, turning the must-write into afun-write,

Like with any craft, it’s not about the quantity but the regularity in which you do it: For example when learning a music instrument, practicing frequently is better than practicing long. If you want to be a writer, make writing your daily habit. #ABlogPostADay can help with that, as it adds accountability to #WATERSAVING #TIP: LOWER THE WATER PRESSURE Reduce the flow by lowering the water pressure. High water pressure in the system is actually not desirable: Typically, lower pressure systems have lower operating costs, as they use less energy to produce and pump water, spend less repairing pipe breaks, and lose less water through leaks large and small.

Since milk tends to boil over it’s a good idea anyway to watch it and stir it. 2) Put the lid on. After heating up the milk, put the lid on. A small plate can also work if there’s no lid in theright size at hand.

OCTOBER 21, 2019 NEW #KNOWYOURLEMONS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
In a fantastic initiative to create awareness about breast cancer and how to detect it, Know Your Lemons uses lemons to explain what breast cancer can look like:TOUCH YOUR LEMONS!
Cancer has no cure
, so
in order to combat it, early detection is key. Generally women self-examining their boobs watch out for lumps, the most common sign of breast cancer.
But there are many other symptoms to watch out foras explained in
the Know Your Lemons in 60 seconds video: Learn how to examine your breasts . Download this great free resource: ‘3 Steps to Early Detection‘.
Now that you know what to feel for, make sure you touch your boobies regularly, at least once a month in order to know how your breasts usually feel , so you notice if something abnormal crops up. This applies for both, women and men.

* Posted under Wellness OCTOBER 18, 2019 #RATTIESITTING: RATTIE OLDIES EAT TOGETHER As your pet rats gets older, they are likely to become frail. Some might start losing weight, even though they eat normally. Sadly this is a sign that your pet rat is succumbing to old age. To help old rats sustain themselves, they can get special highnutrition treats.
Some treats, that are usually only meant to be given in moderation, can help rattie oldies keep their body weight, such as avocado, nutsand seeds.
If just the rattie oldies get to eat it! Surely, if there are some younger pet rats around, they come running to steal away the treats. Like in this picture, where a curious nose is ready to check out the oldies’ rattie food. Luckily, Milka and Cinnamonkey are almost done, as they follow the motto: Share Snack – Double Taste!

OCTOBER 17, 2019 #USABILITY #FAIL: ESKOM’S LOADSHEDDING STATUS ISOF NO HELP
We’re back to loadshedding again!
Everyone knows this, it’s all over the news. Yet, one company seems to be blissfully dreaming on that schedulingpowercuts
is a perfectly normal practice. And thus, Eskom doesn’t even warn about the upcoming loadshedding: This morning at 07:42 I wanted to check if loadshedding is indeed happening and thought going straight to the source would give me theanswer.
Instead I’m just presented with “We are currently NOT LOADSHEDDING.”
Usability Fail: Even though it’s clear loadshedding will start at 9am, at 07:42 Eskom does not warn about this and instead only informs they are “currently NOT LOADSHEDDING”.
It’s true, Eskom are not loadshedding before 9am. But they know they are going to, so it’d be helpful to get that information in order toplan ahead.
Like the City of Cape Town , who givesreally good advice:
“LOAD-SHEDDING ACTIVE: 17 OCT Stage 2 active between 09:00 – 23:00 for Eskom-supplied customers, and Stage 1 for City-supplied customers. Check theschedule
for
times and areas affected, and be preparedfor
outages.”
This is the information I need: Loadshedding is active, the time affected, schedules to check and how to prepare. Thanks to City of Cape Town for presenting it all at aglance.

* Posted under Good Practice OCTOBER 16, 2019 COOL LOADSHEDDING APP: ESKOMSEPUSH Loadshedding is back on!
I know, because I downloaded “The Best Load Shedding App”:‘EskomSePush ‘
The loadshedding app ‘EskomSePush’ is useful in checking for scheduled blackouts. Today the dreaded notification of Loadshedding Stage 2 popped up, otherwise I would’ve been caught out. Not that I mind terribly much, a power outage can be fun,
but it’s good to be prepared. Loadshedding is expected to last at least a week,
so ensure you have EskomSePush downloaded on your phone to stay ahead of the loadshedding schedule.

OCTOBER 15, 2019 USABILITY FAIL: LOTS OF WHITE SPACE BUT NARROWSCROLL BAR
I often experience difficulties clicking on the right things, be it with a mouse or tapping it. I miss or I click the wrong button or, asin this case:
I highlight all the times instead of sliding down the scroll bar tothe correct time.
Creating a calendar event can be tricky when trying to hit the narrow scroll bar to set the right time. It is easy to blame yourself, because at first it makes you feel sostupid.
But then again: Just look how much white space there is with no function and how tinsy tiny narrow the scroll bar is in comparison. Why would they not design this easier by simply having a wider scroll bar that is straight forward to hit the first time around? To me this is a usability fail.
And as you can see in the background: The hyper slim narrow scroll baris used everywhere.

OCTOBER 10, 2019 #CAPETOWN FOR FREE: GATEWAY GUIDES If you are visiting the Cape or are hosting visitors, a great travel resource are the Gateway Guides.
Gateway Guides are free to pick up at most tourist spots. Those flyers and brochures you find at major tourist attractions give you a good idea what to do in the area. Watch out for the Gateway Guides: They are
packed with insider knowledge, handy maps for hiking and a great overview for more sightseeing opportunities near by. Especially the guide to ‘80 Places to visit and see in Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula’ is a great list to have at hand when trying to decide what to see out of all the awesome things in the Cape. And if that’s not enough, guess what, just pick up ‘80 More Places to visit and see in Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula’.#LoveCapeTown

OCTOBER 8, 2019 RANZANI DESIGN SALT & PEPPER GRINDERS: BEAUTIFUL BRANDING, LITERALLY Ranzani Design Salt & Pepper Grinders are vibrant and colourful kitchen accessories to brighten up yourdining area.
Each carefully handpainted, they add character to your dinner table. SO WHERE TO PUT THE BRANDING? It has become the norm to display branding loud and in your face allover the product.
But when the product is handcrafted like the Ranzani Salt & Pepper Grinders, you don’t want to spoil it with marketing material. Usually with craftwork the signature can be found on the underside ofthe product.
As the Salt & Pepper Grinders are used in the kitchen, the base needs to be very sturdy and hygenic. A neat solution is to laser the maker mark into the wood. BEAUTIFUL BRANDING, LITERALLY:Ranzani Design

* Posted under Design OCTOBER 7, 2019 #MONDAYMOTIVATION #PODCAST #TIP: BBC POLITICAL COMEDY – DIGESTING NEWS THROUGH SARCASM Watching the news is depressing. So much so, that there are several media outlets promising to amplifythe good news.
But if you still want to know what’s going on in the world, you’ll have to face the bleak reality of depressing news at some point. While the news are still bad, why not choose a funny way to deliverthem?
The best way to counteract the depressing effect of nowadays news isby having a laugh.
I have long thrown out the TV and rely on radio, internet and newspaper to know the latest news. Especially to catch up on European news, which have become nothing but a joke anyway, I appreciate listening to BBC’s News Quiz:
BBC Radio 4 Comedy’s News Quiz is a great way to catch up on the news while having a laugh. A panel of witty and hilarious comedians, who have that lovely dry British humour spiced up with sarcasm and irony, have to guess from clever clues what recent news are the topic to discuss. Then they get a chance to rant on about them in a commentary that takes that big lump of frustration of your chest, as you can simply laugh it off. I find this is the only way I can digest the awful state of the world run by a bunch of ridiculous muppets. I don’t know what has become of this planet, and I’m trying to do everything I can: I cycle to commute, I choose to refuse plastic, I recycle and upcycle, I regularly collect rubbish in our neighborhood and at the beach by doing MOOP swoops, I still save water, I ferment, cook and bake my own foods to avoid processed foods, I teach how to make the internet more accessible and safe, I rescue dogs rather than buying a designed breed, and the list goes on. But one thing I don’t manage in this world, where everything is turned upside down, is to stay truly positive. So at least when it comes to the news, I decided that I rather laughthan cry.
And thanks to the BBC podcasts, I can laugh out loud. 😀SHARE THIS:

OCTOBER 3, 2019 #BEACH #WALK WITH THE #DOGS: ANGRY SEA It can be a fine day in Cape Town, but get to the beach and the sea isfoaming.
Already getting out of the car I was surprised how windy it was and glad I took my hoodie along. Coming over the dunes I was hit by the full force of the gusts and zipped up to the top. It wasn’t particularly bad weather. I had been at the beach when it was windier and colder. But it somehow felt like the sea was angry and I suddenly remembered a part of a fairy tale from my childhood: “With that he arrived at the sea. The water was all black and dense and boiling up from within. A strong wind blew over him that curdled the water.” – The Fisherman and His Wife, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. > View this post on Instagram>

Every time her wishes become more outrageous, the ocean starts to boiland turns foul.
That’s how the sea presented itself to me. I wonder when it will turn on us, with our outrageous wastefulconsumerism…

OCTOBER 2, 2019 ANIMAL CRUELTY: DOG DUMPING I didn’t even know this was such a common practice that there is aword for it:
Dog Dumping is when you drive somewhere with your dog and dump him by the side of the road. In America this happens so often, especially in the South, that there is plenty of disturbing video footage. Like this one, secretly filmed, so we get the full extend of thiscruel ordeal:
Because dumping your dog isn’t as easy as it sounds: First you have to go through your dog being happy and jumping for joy as he thinks you’re going for a walk. Then you have to push back your dog, so he doesn’t follow you back in the car. Maybe a bit of kicking is required. And finally you can drive off, with your dog running beside you not understanding what’s going on, just wantingto be with you.
It was at that point that I must have uttered such an upset sound – I can’t watch such acts of cruelty, I cannot believe any human could do such a barbaric thing – and I whaled: Oh no! In a flash my dogs were by my side to check what had happened thatmade me so sad.
All of them showering me in kisses, barking to ask what was going on. All I could do was embrace them and promise that such horror would never happen to them. I’m so blessed with my puppies! How can anyone dump their dog?#AdoptDontShop

OCTOBER 1, 2019 #NOPAYNOPLAY: SABC SHOULD LEAD BY EXAMPLE WHEN IT COMES TO PAYING FEES I’m a big fan of the Kiffness and always stoked when I hear hissongs on the radio.
However, I was shocked to learn that no royalty payments have been made to the Kiffness by the SABC. So all these times I got excited about the Kiffness’ exposure on 5FM, he did not receive a penny for that success. All the while I have to listen to those moronic radio ads by SABC about paying your license fees. Since the SABC is a public body, funded by public money, it should act ethically correct and lead by example: If any fees need to be paid, how about those long overdue R248 millionowed by the SABC
to music rights organisations like the Southern African Music Rights Organisation (Samro), the South African Music Performance Rights Association (SAMPRA) , the Association of Independent Record Companies (Airco), the Recording Industry of South Africa (Risa) and more. This seriously undermines the livelihoods of South African artists.
The Kiffness has been campaigning about this and made it into nationalnews
,
but the response from the SABC appears to be vague and unhelpful. Maybe the Kiffness needs to write them a song in order to be heard. In the meantime, us listeners can also make a choice, as I find myself skipping to the private or community radio channels: No pay for South African artists, no play of SABC radio stations.#NoPayNoPlay

SEPTEMBER 26, 2019 HERITAGE DAY EVENT “BRIDGE THE GAP” – A BONTELANGA COMMUNITY CONCERT I’m a big fan of the Cape Cultural Collective.
So when I saw they organised a community concert for Heritage Day I knew it would be great. But it was so much more than that! We were warmly welcomed at Bonteheuwel Civic Centre and stepped into the eclectic energy of community leaders from various backgrounds giving heartfelt speeches. Abdu Ragmaan from the Cape Flats News offered a brief look at the history of the two communities in Langa and Bonteheuwel to understand the importance of this event. “Bridge the Gap” can be taken literally, as there was a procession from Langa Guga S’thebe across the bridge over the M7 to the Bonteheuwel Civic Centre. A symbolic step to bring together two neighbouring communities that usually live in fear of each other. Bonteheuwel Civic Centre is packed: > View this post on Instagram>

SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 HAPPY HERITAGE DAY MOOP SWOOPHappy Heritage Day!
The sun is out, it’s just a bit windy. With Cape Town’s strong gusts it is no surprise that litter gets blown about and collects in the corners of our neighbourhood. > View this post on Instagram>

> (@creativecommunications) on Sep 24, 2019 at 1:28am PDT Every bin day I do a MOOP swoop and clean up our street. But today I also did a quick cleanup, so we can all enjoy our hood forBraai Day.
It goes so quick, in only 10 minutes I collected more than one garbage bag, which, by the way, I also found amongst the litter. If we all did this, our neighbourhood would always be clean. #KeepYourNeighbourhoodClean#NoDumping

SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 #RATTIESITTING: OLDIES STICK TOGETHER When your pet rat gets old, they become very fragile and need someextra care.
But just like in our human world, try and tell that to the young. With little regard for the elderly, they just want to play and cuddle, even if it’s too much for the seniors. So it is no surprise that rattie oldies Cinnamonkey and Milka sticktogether.
They know each other from back in the day and have become best friends over the years of rattiesitting encounters. > View this post on Instagram>

> #RattieSitting: #Pet #rats Cinnamonkey and Milka are #best #friends > from back in the day. As they are like sisters they get to spend > some more time together. Both are quite old #ratties and enjoy each > other's company so much that they persist to #snuggle together. > #RatsMakeGreatPets #BFF>

> A post shared by TrulyJuly>
> (@creativecommunications) on Sep 22, 2019 at 2:14am PDT They insist on cuddling together, actively seeking each other out and only settling down in each other’s company. So we extended the rattiesitting visit, now they can stay together abit longer.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2019 SPECIAL #RATTIETREAT FOR THE OLDIES: BABY PUREE FROM A SQUEEZE POUCH When your pet rat gets old, it can be challenging to keep a healthyweight.
Some ratties put on weight, some get thin. Either way, at an old age your pet rat deserves some special rattietreats.
Milka is very old and very fragile. She got very thin, so she can eat any food she wants, anything that helps her gain some weight. She is in good spirits and appreciates a yummy snack. She loves to lap up the baby puree out of the squeeze pouch: > View this post on Instagram>

Cinnamonkey is a foodie and loves the baby puree. It looks so cute how she licks it from the squeeze pouch: > View this post on Instagram>

She is maybe a little less active than the younger and naughtier version of herself, but she is just as energetic. Accordingly she grasps the nozzle of the squeeze pouch to make sure she’ll get her fair share of the baby puree: > View this post on Instagram>

amongst the top 10 sniffers in the animal kingdom. Rats smell in stereo and save human lives by sniffing out landminesand tuberculosis
.
Rats even work for the police, as they are easier and cheaper to train than dogs in detecting gunshot residue.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2019 #RATTIESITTING: BOOTCAMP FOR PET RAT FADLEY Vet orders are that rattie Fadley needs to lose weight. As it’s impossible to cut down on his diet – he eats what everyone else in his rattie clan is eating – exercise is key. So I spend a bit more play time with Fadley and for extra exercise, his task is to find his way back to the cage. Already outside in the garden, he is eager to return and does some amazing climbing manoevres to end up on the middle piece of the outdoor table where he sits like on a throne. Promptly, he gets a fan, as puppy Gigi can’t keep her eyes off ofhim.

Creativity means forming new associations. So taking these charging stations out of its usual context and into a new environment, shows creativity at play. And successfully so, as everyone was impressed with this excellent service, where tech was put to good use. It shows the SA Innovation Summit puts the money where the mouth is: Where great ideas make it! Indeed.#SAIS2019

The sun in South Africa creates a wonderful light. Especially in Cape Town, surrounded by oceans, the sky is so blue you want to fall into it. At the beach the sea reflects the sun and the wet sand also sparkles up every time the waves retract. It’s a glistening spectacle bigger than Christmas. Twinkles dancing in the surf, running across the gleaming coat of our dogs, disappearing in the Fata Morgana around Robben Island. > View this post on Instagram>

As I stare into the distance trying to decipher Robben Island from haze, mirage and glare, the dogs join me and Starsky sits by my side. > View this post on Instagram>

* Posted under Review SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 AI EXPO: PUTTING TECH TO GOOD USE At the Artificial Intelligence Expo you’d expect the programme to read like a science fiction novel: All about futuristic tech appliances and where we’re going to go with the 4th industrialrevolution.
With 4 Tracks covering Innovation, Platforms & Panels, Case Studies and Demo Zones, Flash Talks, Expo Halls, Innovation Cafés and plenty of opportunities for networking, the AI Expo had it all covered. The more impressed I was seeing real tech serving a real purpose. I don’t want to just hear about how great our future is going to bethanks to tech.
I want to see real solutions where modern tech was implemented to makelife indeed easier.
Like the idea to use Silent Disco headphones for Flash Talks: > View this post on Instagram>

> (@creativecommunications) on Sep 5, 2019 at 4:29am PDT Amidst a buzzing Expo Hall, just by the clinking and froffing catering station that everyone uses for some chats and laughs, a Flash Talk could take place in absolute silence: Neither the listeners to the Flash Talk were bothered by the activities of the floor, nor was anyone at the Expo Booths interruptedby the Flash Talk.

* Posted under Techie SEPTEMBER 9, 2019 #ENOUGHISENOUGH: 5FM INTERRUPTS SONGS BY FEMALE ARTISTS TO CREATE AWARENESS ABOUT GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE Protests over violence against women have been on the news all of last week. And that’s how some treat this: just like news. And then there are some who do something. I was very impressed with radio channel ‘5FM ‘ making a stand, united, against gender-basedviolence:
Throughout all of Friday they observed a minute of silence every hourafter the news.
But even more disruptive, they also really caused a wake-up call when they interrupted songs by female artists with a moment of silence and a statement to remember what the world would be like without women. Listen to this sample clip, it gives me goosebumps! Kudos to 5FM for going the extra length to really make a difference. I don’t know how to combat violence against women. The statistics show what a scary size problem this is.
But I believe that speaking up can have an impact: If you can name it,you can change it
.
So let’s make enough fuss about this dire state of affairs where women are oppressed around all corners of the world, and:BE THE CHANGE!

SEPTEMBER 4, 2019 ‘OPPORTUNITY’: ALL ABOUT BUSINESS – ANDALSO DATING
I’m faring pretty well on LinkedIn.
So I’m mostly reacting annoyed when there’s another professional networking site I have to join. I might register for it, just so I secure my social media handle,
but if I cannot pull in my LinkedIn data, chances are low I fill in myprofile.
When I was offered to sign up for ‘Opportunity’ I thought at least this platform represents what our priorities are really about: Business, business, business, business, dating. ‘Dating Professionals’ of course, which somehow sounds more legitimate than just ‘Dating’. It seems falling back on the more primal instincts is what it takes in order to make it as yet another app on the market. However, as the old proverb goes: “Never mix business with pleasure.“

SEPTEMBER 3, 2019 ‘USE’ FREE IMAGE HOSTING SITE CLOSES DOWN With all the popular image hosting sites either scaling downor shutting
down
,
I’m researching where to post all my photos now. It appears there’s still a big choiceon offer, but alas,
when clicking a link on the list of free image hosting sites, some of them are in the process of going under. Nowadays you can’t keep up with the rate of picture sharing sitesgiving up it seems.
And so it happens that ‘Use ‘ is closingdown.
At quite quite some speed. I wonder how users are supposed to download all their images in such ashort time.
Here in South Africa, that wouldn’t be possible just for low bandwidth reasons alone. Good luck to everyone out there who has to go through the painful process of saving your photos from the internet!SHARE THIS:

* Posted under Techie SEPTEMBER 2, 2019 #FACEBOOK #AI #FAIL: HOW CAN I SPAM MYSELF? Facebook thrives on FOMO,
the Fear Of Missing Out,
it seems.
It’s a known dark pattern that Facebook sends you pseudo notifications to keep you glued to their platform for longer. But it appears to be overly active with its AI review of content, too: So it happens that I’m being warned about my own post on my own FBpage as spam.
Not sure how a post about my pet rats being cuddle masters can trigger a spam alert. But to warn me about my own post I’m publishing myself to my own profile as spam is simply Artificial Intelligence gone awry. Still, I have to make a case that no, I “don’t think my post should be deleted”. Guilty until proven innocent seems to be the norm when judged by AI.#AIFail

What a lovely sight! ‘Soleirolia soleirolii’ also known as ‘Peace in the Home’ indeed adds tranquility to any garden or indoor greenery. Its bright yet delicate leaves are the perfect rattie size. It is non-toxic and easy to keep in a shaded place with plenty ofwater.
When it thrives it grows all over the ground like a thick plushcarpet.
Just the right foliage for a little rattie nose. And so pet rat Milka enjoys rustling about in it: > View this post on Instagram>

Also our dogs snuggle up warm under the thick winter duvet. While it’s fine for dogs to sleep under the duvet with no risk ofsuffocating

our pups prefer to keep their heads above the blanket. Puppy Lola even puts her head on a pillow.

AUGUST 26, 2019 #GOOD #PRACTICE #TIP: ALWAYS PROOFREAD YOUR DESIGNER Having worked for 20+ years in the media industry doing everythingcontent , I
have learned that it’s a good idea to proofread your GraphicDesigner.
It’s because they focus on graphics and design and not content. They might not even be a native speaker of the language you’republishing in.
Or they might be overly eager and add an apostrophe where it’s notneeded.
As can be seen in the description copy to the right, the actual quote is spelled correctly. But somehow that silly apostrophe made it into the image. Another example why you must always proofread before publishing.

So they share their treat, with one eye winking, it’s the long whiskers that are in the way.#Rattie #Bliss

AUGUST 22, 2019 #BEACH #WALK WITH THE #DOGS: #PUPPY HUTCH #LOVESTHE #WAVES
Going to the beach is always such a wonderful experience, our dogs get excited when we get ready for the car. Getting to the beach, they jump out of the boot in pure joy. For Hutch this continues all the way until he hits the waves. > View this post on Instagram>

> (@creativecommunications) on Aug 22, 2019 at 6:46am PDT Hutch loves water and turns out to be a real good swimmer. I don’t let him swim in the ocean, but he loves jumping about in thesurf.
I love that he gets a good wash out of it which is desperately needed after a dusty and tick infested hike on Table Mountain. I also enjoy wading into the fresh and energising sea, together with the dogs it’s like being a child, playing around in the cool surf. A walk at the beach is like a holiday.#LoveCapeTown

AUGUST 14, 2019 MICROSOFT TAKES 1 MONTH TO UPDATE ACCOUNT INFO For security purposes I often get asked by apps if my account information is still up to date. Diligently I check and update accordingly. So I did when I was prompted by Microsoft: I thought adding my phone number could be a good idea.Wrong!
Microsoft, for whatever reason, takes 30 days (!!!) to update youraccount info.
Good news? Somebody explain to me why Microsoft takes 30 days to update security info in the first place! For 1 month I could not login to my Microsoft account just because of this ridiculous waiting period. Microsoft locks me out of its services because I have to wait 1 month for my security info to update. While this might not affect Outlook or Skype, it did hinder my work as I could not download the Microsoft app I wanted. So watch out when these silly security alerts come along. Some have serious consequences!SHARE THIS:

* Posted under Techie AUGUST 13, 2019 #VISA #APPLICATION: WHERE TO GET SAME DAY RADIOLOGY REPORT IN CAPE TOWN Getting official documents for visa application ready can be anightmare.
More so if you need them, like, yesterday. Having had to submit a completely new visa application, as I was not allowed to transfer my visa to my new passport, I was faced with getting a radiology report within 2 days. ------------------------- The radiology report form that needs to be filled in as part of thevisa application.
Where to ask?
Again, taking to the streets of Cape Town brought me the answer: It was at our local supermarket where I always have a chat with the staff, that someone from Kenya had experienced the same ordeal and was happy to share this useful information: The UCT Faculty of Health Sciences offers same day radiology reports. Simply go to their Radiology Department and ask them for the report for Home Affairs. They have the form there and know the drill. Of course, this service comes with a fee: R500 for what should normally be done for free – but for that, you’d have to wait.#InsiderTip

AUGUST 12, 2019 #USABILITY #FAIL: OPTIONAL OPT-IN IS AREQUIRED FIELD
As a general rule I don’t sign up for newsletters and such to keep my inbox free from clutter.
However, as shown in the screenshot below, I could not proceed with the registration when I unticked the opt-in option. The error message: “This field is required.” So I’m forced to keep the opt-in checked, otherwise I cannotregister.
Also a way to get subscribers. Seeing this is accompanied by some copy errors that show why it’s so important to proofread,
I guess it’s not surprising how blatantly this usability fail goes against consumer protection.#UsabilityFail

AUGUST 9, 2019 #RATTIE #BLISS: GOOD MORNING! Part of the daily rattie routine starts with a check up on the petrats in their nest.
The picture that greets me in the morning is always the cutest: When rats feel safe and allow themselves to properly fall asleep, they do so looking especially snug and comfy. Accordingly, waking up takes a moment or two, and again makes for the most endearing moments: Eyes still closed, a yawn, a stretch, a shuffle and a cute look. > View this post on Instagram>

AUGUST 8, 2019 #BEACH #WALK WITH THE DOGS: #PHOTOBOMB #SHOTS I love going to the beach with our 4 rescue dogs. 4 dogs is quite a lot and when I take photos, chances are, there’s a dog in there somewhere. Sometimes I just want to capture the scene, like this picture of Stairs that Sink in the Sands.
The truth is: I go through a lot of puppy photobomb shots before I get to snatch the actual image: > View this post on Instagram>

AUGUST 7, 2019 #FREETHENIPPLE: IN SOUTH AFRICAN HOSPITALS EVEN THE INFORMATION SIGNS FEATURE A NIPPLEFree the Nipple
is
a topfreedom campaigncreated in 2012.
The campaign highlights the general convention of allowing men to appear topless in public while considering it sexual or indecent for women to do the same, and asserts that this difference is an unjust treatment of women . The campaign argues that it should be legally and culturally acceptable for women to bare their nipples in public. In South Africa, it is illegal to expose female breasts in public,
according to the Criminal Law (sexual offence and related matters) Amendment Act 32 of 2007. However, when I entered the UCT Faculty of Health Sciences to get my radiology report done for Home Affairs, I was surprised to see this information sign to ensure women inform the hospital staff if they are pregnant before gettingany x-rays done:

>
> A post shared by TrulyJuly>
> (@creativecommunications) on Aug 6, 2019 at 11:44am PDT For this being a schematised silhouette of a woman, it is very detailed, showing a distinct nipple. If I had been the designer, I had simply moved the strikethrough over this illustration’s boob, to cover it decently. Instead, the strikethrough is just beneath the boob, revealing it all, including the nipple. South Africa subjects itself to criticised censorship of nudity, with a double standard between male and female nipples.
But in public spaces, like hospitals, you get the full monty. 😮#FreeTheNipple

* Posted under Techie AUGUST 5, 2019 #GOOD #PRACTICE #TIP: SPECIFIC LOGIN FEEDBACK When my Login doesn’t work, I don’t necessarily know which part Idid wrong:
From usernames to email addresses to passwords, – I’m registered with so many apps I cannot easily recall them all, let alone the rightcombination.
Thanks to AI I shouldn’t have to: The underlying database knows the correct login, so why not give more specific feedback, as shown below. When I type in my login details, I’m given specific feedback along the way, so I know right away which parts of the login I got right, – in this case my username – and what went wrong – in this casemy password.
Knowing which part of the login I got wrong, obviously shortens my time of trial and error. And so it does for anyone who wants to hack my account… But usability needs to start somewhere. And it’s definitely more helpful to get specific feedback about which part of the login didn’t work. Especially with kind words offering a solution: I can always resetthat password.

AUGUST 2, 2019 #BEACH #WALK: THE STAIRS THAT SINK IN THE SANDS Sometimes mother nature takes back what is hers. And it always looks impressive.

AUGUST 1, 2019 #HOWTO AUTOMATICALLY ADD BIRTHDAYS TO YOURGOOGLE CALENDAR
If you are as diligent with your calendar as with your contacts, there’s an easy hack to add birthdays to your Google Calendar: Google automatically shows the birthdays of your Google Contacts address book in its calendar. All you need to do is enable the birthday calendar by selecting it in the My calendars dropdown menu: In your Google Calendar open the dropdown menu under ‘My calendars’ and select ‘Birthdays’.SHARE THIS:

JULY 29, 2019 GOOD PRACTICE TIP: ONE BUTTON FOR LOGIN ORCREATE ACCOUNT
Everyone’s got an app for that and with easy third party login via Facebook or Google, it becomes tricky to remember all the platforms previously registered for. Yet, when landing on a new site, I often get prompted to log in ORsign up.
So it takes some time to try out my email address and password combinations, only to give up and try to sign up, only to be alerted that this email address already exists, so I’m back at thebeginning.
All the while it is the app that knows if my email address is alreadyin the database.
So why not have a single button for login or create an account: While I type in my email, the backend can check if an account has already been created for this email address and guide me accordingly to either sign in or sign up. One button to get in: Either log in or create an account. #GoodPractice #Tip by #YoursTrulyJulySHARE THIS:

JULY 24, 2019 NEW TWITTER REDESIGN: WHERE’S THE ‘FIND FRIENDS’ FEATURE? Twitter has redesigned its desktop website,
and the internet responded.
For 7 years
the Twitter’s desktop interface was not updated. An overhaul waslong overdue.
The desktop version now looks more similar to Twitter’s mobile app,
adding features from its mobile app to improve its desktop experience.
However, one feature that I enjoyed on Twitter desktop is no longer available: Find Friends . It was a neat way to import your contacts from other platforms and connect to the resulting Twitter profiles in one go. wikiHow explains nicely this now outdated feature: Find Friends byEmail Contacts
.
Searching around where this functionality has gone, Twitter Help tells me I can sync my device’s address book contacts.
However, I’m still waiting for my complete contact list, as I’m met with constant scrolling to get to the end of my contacts, which then gets disrupted with the error message: “Something went wrong.” and I can start all over again: Twitter’s ‘Find Friends’ service has gone and the ‘Manage contacts’ option is not working out for me. Twitter has a history of gradually disabling other platforms’ APIaccess:
It used to be possible to upload contacts to Twitter from Gmail,Yahoo!, or AOL
.
Initially it was allowed to follow Twitter contacts on Instagram.
I would’ve thought it’s in Twitter’s interest that I can follow all the profiles I’d like to follow. But the redesign is another step towards alienating Twitter from other social networks, making this really difficult.SHARE THIS:

* Posted under Techie JULY 22, 2019 #HOWTO RESTORE THE EARTH: ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION CAMPS While we all should try to reduce the negative impact we have on this planet, we can also start to make up for our wasteful lifestyle and bring back to life what civilisation has destroyed: HOW TO RESTORE THE EARTH Ecosystem Restoration Camps are the solution, as we learned in an inspiring talkby John Dennis Liu
.
Such an inspiring talk! Make sure you make the next presentation on23rd July
!
John outlined how to regenerate vast destroyed landscapes on the example of China’s Loess Plateau and continued to restore throughout his talk, – this time hope amongst the audience. He explained that we don’t need permission to save the planet: Let’s not wait for the big world organisations. We can simply startourselves.
He experienced how doing good brought people together on their own inititiative, with their own funding. John pointed out that large scale projects need to be tackled by a large team of unified stake holders, such as community organisations, local authorities, relevant NGOs, NPOs and charities, guided by a representative council. He advised that Ecosystem Restoration Camps only work if we accept each other asequals.
In conclusion John showed us the not-so-secret secret handshake amongst camp members that confirms this vision with every greeting. You have to hear John’s story of hope in person. There’s another chance to see John live: Hope in a Changing Climate: John D. Liu –
