Birds -Scops Owl
Lovely Scops Owl in Tsendze Rustic Camp in Kruger Park. Tsendze is one of my favourite camps in the park. It is is camping only with no electricity (solar for the lights in the bathrooms) and gas for hot water. If you want to get away from everything Tsendze is the place to go.

Be very careful what you click
No, this not about clicking on silly click bait articles.
Against everything I know, I decided to quickly make a few changes and clean up the file stores on a vmware cluster. I was thinking maybe an hour or so tops and I can enjoy the rest of my Saturday.
Using vmotion I moved a few virtual machines around to try balance everything nicely on the storage. Vmotion often leaves old directories…

Cleaning up the worlds oceans with the longest floating object in history
An ambitious new project is hoping to help clean the world’s oceans with a trash collector that is reportedly the longest floating structure in recorded world history.
Back in 2013 TrueActivist reported that a 19-year-old developed a plan to clean up the world’s oceans in just 5 years, removing 7,250,000 tons of plastic. However, last week, Boyan Slat (now 21), founder and CEO of The Ocean…
