If you are a IRC junkie like I am you would know how ofthen someone says something that is realy funny or come acros funny in IRC.

If you have visited bash.org before you would know that it is a place where users can submit all these funny happenings that occurs across the IRC networks. The problem with bash.org is that it is mostly aimed towards American IRC networks and English.

Being in South Africa, we have several official languages and Afrikaans being one of the popular ones the South African webspace has signifigant grow for Afrikaans sites. This is where friend of mine, David Smit, saw the need for a afrikaans version of bash.org.

His site Pons.za.net, pons being the Afrikaans word for bash, went live last week and since then saw some interest in the site specialy from the WNet IRC network in South Africa. WNet is the IRC network for the local Wireless User Group communities of South Africa averaging about 300-400 active users at any time.

Main channels using pons.za.net currently includes #CTWUG and #PTAWUG on the WNet IRC Network where the majority of the users speak Afrikaans.

Owner of pons.za.net, David Smit, says that although he wrote pons.za.net mainly for afrikaans quotes any language is welcome aslong as the quote is South African of nature. Any quote is welcome to be submitted not just IRC quotes, users can submit msn, jabber, gtalk whatever chat protocol they use.

So head on over to pons.za.net and check out the quotes already submitted and why not submit your own funny or weird quotes.

Some of you may have noticed that posting is a bit on the slow side the past 2 weeks, this is due to the enormous project I’m busy working on. We are working our asses off just to get the project to go live by the end of this week. This will be a soft launch and at the participating stores but with no stock on the shelves only certain staff getting some products to test out.

So you are propably wondering what it is? Well unfortunatly I can’t give out any details, but what I do can tell you is that a voucher revolution is comming to stores near you very soon.

I’ll give out more information when I’m allowed to.
