Sailing in Belize & Mexico

Tessa and myself recently returned from Belize and Mexico. The intention was to make it to Cuba, but sailing requires the right wind and we only got the wrong one. But Mexico was a great second option!

Solving the mystery of expiring data

Milk goes off. Eggs go rotten. Even toilet paper would eventually fall apart if left unused. But digital data, that’s not something that ages. It’s not something that rots. It can’t possibly go off or expire. Your hard drive might eventually wear out and stop working, but if you’re smart and you’ve saved to the ‘cloud’, you’ll still be able to access your data.

We know this because it’s true. We know this because we are not stupid.

So then why are cellular network providers treating us like idiots. I smell something fishy.

I reached out to Vodacom, Cell C and MTN to try and solve this mystery. I’ve tried pickling data and freezing it, but nothing seems to work.

This explains the expense.
