It started yesterday when Martin L from Diletto emailed me mentioning something about 2oceansvibe being down. I forwarded the email to Chris at iMod (my tech/seo guru and fellow SA Blog Award winner) and between us we couldn’t find anything wrong. “Thanks, Martin” I replied – but everything looks fine now. He wrote back confirming […]
This is good. These guys have put together a spoof of the Twitter craze sweeping the world. This time it’s called Flutter and instead of a maximum of 140 characters per message, it’s a max of 26 characters. It’s really well done and nearly a carbon copy of a genuine doccie I watched on the […]

I did an interview for Idea Bounty the other day and I thought I would have a little snoop around their site. Wow, pretty impressive. And pretty damn clever! they call themselves a “Social Think Tank” and I think that sums it up perfectly. Idea Bounty “The best ideas get paid“ How it […]
We’re pretty passionate about cellphone rules (check out article Latest Cellphone Rules), here at 2oceansvibe and have even included them in our Cape Town Rules section of the site. Following on from that article, I have noticed more and more people struggling with private numbers. I’ve found that some people are still unable to ignore […]

If you call me with a private number or a number I don’t know, I will not answer. FACT . If you don’t leave a message and call me again, I still will not answer. FACT . You can do this as many times as you wish over as many days as you want and […]
Personally, I’m fine with it. My bathroom habits are few and far between. It’s all a bit tedious, really. Like brushing my teeth – Christ, it bores me! And going for a number two – seriously, I don’t have that much time. I’m in and I’m out. I take a magazine from time to time, […]

It’s common knowledge that access to 2oceansvibe has been restricted at various stuffy offices around the world. It is also widely reported that, for example, Lehman Brothers never allowed access to 2oceansvibe. Fat load of good that did!

Its origin is uncertain. Some argue it may be from cods, an old term for the testicles that derives from the […]
I received word from The Adventurer that Steve Jobs is launching the new generation iPods today. This will include a new feature on iTunes called “Genius.” Surprisingly, this has got nothing to do with DJ Fresh whatsoever. The iPod Nano – as before The Times Online reports: A new generation of iPods […]
It is with some amusement that I read the words “Private Number” or “Unknown” on my cellphone’s display. The phone is set to ‘silent’, returned to it’s previous position and ignored. Unknown numbers will, quite simply, not be answered. Ever. The non-answering of these calls has become something of second nature to me. It’s honestly […]
