I made some elaborate, but imperfect regular expressions to parse South African full name strings (first names + surname) into separate first names and surname groups. This caters combinations like "Anna-Marie Susan van der Merwe". gist.github.com/igitur/5ca59a2โ€ฆ

FANTASTIC NEWS: WE WON - EVERYONE CAN ATTEND & VOTE AT #COMRADES SGM Breaking news from Pmb High Court. Ruling granted for members of CMA against CMA Board/KNZA with "all relief granted" (in layman's terms this = CMA Board/KZNA have unequivocally had their arses handed to them).

At rugby test matches on local (South African) soil the anthem singers have the luxury of pre-recorded renditions being aired. Sometimes they're even pitch corrected. Then they go abroad and have to sing it live and WE complain that it sounds off. Sorry, Bobby, not your fault.

The South African Post Office is clearly on the verge of failure, but you'd think they'd solve some low hanging fruit anyway. Like don't send AliExpress packages all the way back to China because I missed your self-imposed draconian 30 day storage period.

I donโ€™t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I donโ€™t want to share the file with OneDrive. I donโ€™t want to download an app to check my carโ€™s fluid levels. I donโ€™t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I donโ€™t want to let Google know my location

This iconic Ben Stein scene might be almost 40 years old, but it feels like essential viewing now that Trump is tariffing the world.

Ivo Vegter I can't find a single LaTeX renderer that renders the full stop as a little square. I think it was just done in Microsoft Word's formula editor. Should this go viral? :-)

Sometimes you just need one stat: Well done Julian Karp on your 1000th marathon. What an incredible achievement (and the first South African to do so). I did offer to lend him my 1001 race bib for tomorrow at Bluff (and he thought about it...๐Ÿ˜€). #sowetomarathon #RunSouthAfrica
