DChetty — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 23:00:29 +0000

I heard this track the other day and can’t get it out of my head. It’s SO catchy and I just love it.

I had no idea who sings it and had to pose the question to Twitter and @Blindcripple came to the rescue. Check out a cool video and the lyrics of “We No Speak Americano” below:

Come te vene `capa e di: “ I love you !? “

fa fa l’americano !
fa fa l’americano !
fa l’americano !
fa fa l’americano !
fa fa l’americano !

…whïsky soda e rock’en’roll (x3)…

Nando’s Ad – Paris looking for a joint!

DChetty — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 22:31:47 +0000

Nando’s have always had witty ads and tend be super quick with their campaigns. Their latest print ad screams advertising genius and again their marketing agency, whoever they are, need to patted on the back for the brilliance of the ad.

It is based on the fact that Paris Hilton was arrested in Port Elizabeth for possession of weed while she was in the city to watch the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final game.

I recommend that you click on the image to few in full screen and view the fine text at the bottom as well.

Win McAfee Family Protection Software!

DChetty — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 05:10:12 +0000

I have three copies of McAfee’s Family Protection Suites to give away worth about $40 each. Each copy can be installed on 3 separate computers in your home as they each ship with 3-user licenses. The software is a slick, easy to use and setup software that allows you to manage web pages visited, which applications are used, how much time is spent on the computer, which social networks are being used, etc.

It’s an all-in-one solution that helps ensure that your kids are not exposed to the nasties that are all over the web. The web was never meant to be so hostile and we can only wish for a day when it’s a safe place for our kids to learn, interact and express themselves.

McAfee Family Protection Suite is not an antivirus, so don’t think that because you have an antivirus, you won’t need this, because you would be wrong. Trust me, I know these things!

Family Protection is an entirely different suite altogether and looks after a whole other kind of web problem:

Instant Message reporting – Monitors and records IM conversations so parents are aware of cyberbullying and improper dialogue with strangers
Social network monitoring – Records when personal information (phone number, address, location) is posted to social networking sites and monitors the use of profanity and sexually explicit terms
Set time limits – Manage the amount of time your children spend on the Internet
Block objectionable websites – Filter up to 35 categories of inappropriate websites that may be accidentally exposed to children
Review usage reports – View and understand your children’s online activities to educate them about proper online behaviors

All that you need to do to win is:

Join the DChetty.co.za Facebook Fan Page
Leave a message on the wall naming one of the features of McAfee Family Protection and then explain why you think that you should win.
Get your friends to “Like” your wall post.

Competition closes on Friday at noon and the most liked wall messages wins.

This is an Incredible Connection give-away. Don’t forget that you can now also use your eBucks at Incredible Connection stores nationwide!

Funniest Mac vs PC video!

I’ve become a total Mac boy now and have nothing but hostility toward PC and Windows. This is a really funny spoof rap video of Mac vs PC.

Audi Cape Town have me over for an MVP Day!

DChetty — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 22:54:38 +0000

I was recently invited by Audi Cape Town to join them on their MVP Day by the great Chris Rawlinson of HuddleMind. The basic promise of the day was that a few of us would be given a few cars, we would drive out somewhere and stop for breakfast, relax, chat and then drive back in time to arrive for lunch. All the while swopping cars on the way ensuring that we get to drive each model of Audi that was on the trip with us.

We arrived at 9am (some of us at least, @CapeTown_girl showed up late!) and offered coffee and tea while we were briefed on the days plan. We were welcomed by Chris, Grant and Wernich of Audi Cape Town.

We were then introduced to the cars:

Audi Q5 2.0T
Audi A3 2.0T
Audi A5 3.2 Quattro
Audi A5 3.0 TDi

I paired up with Athol Price of BrandScape and jumped into the Audi A5 3.0 TDi passengers seat as we took off from Audi Cape Town in the Waterfront to our first meeting point, the Shell garage at the foot-end of Sir Lowry’s Pass. We stopped on the N2 highway to swop seats and I took the helm of the A5 from there all the way through to meeting point.

The A5 is a beautiful car! It’s a dream to drive and the comfort levels inside the car are well specced. I love the driving position, the centre console setup, the steering responsiveness, the MultiTronic gearbox and the ease of which this car goes from 100km/h to 160km/h to overtake slower traffic.

We were the first to arrive at our meeting point and relaxed while we waited for the other 3 teams to arrive. We quickly swopped cars and headed toward Betty’s Bay for breakfast. The only place in Betty’s Bay that was open at the time actually. A small, quirky tea shop!

We drove the Audi A3 2.0T next, and oh boy did I drive it! If you know the route, you’d know that its pasted up against the side of a mountain with sharp cliffs dropping into the sea on the other side. It’s a tight bending, single lane, windy road that is any driving enthusiast’s dream. I was not shy with the A3. It does have the same setup as the VW Golf GTi which has a reputation of being a boy racer. I hammered the car into corners hard and held nothing back on the short straights with quick hard gear changes on the 6 speed manual gearbox. It was nothing but the most exhilarating, fun drive that I have EVER had. The Audi A3 2.0T stands out for me as the most fun car that I have driven yet!

On the last stretch, I went up against @AmandaSevasti in a straight shootout run to the finish in the A5 Diesel and the A3 did its job of making the task tough for the lady!

Breakfast was a scone and tea. We sat around and chatted for a bit. Chris and Grant then had a lucky draw of two prizes, an Advanced Driving Course in an A5 and a day with an R8 out on the streets of Cape Town.

The truth is that I don’t remember who won the R8 drive, but what I do remember is ME winning the Advances Driving Course ) #Buya

I drove the Q5 back to Gordons Bay and while everyone else enjoyed driving the SUV, I didn’t. I guess that I’m too much of a boy racer and wanted to plough the lumpy beast into corners under heavy breaking and pull it out of corners as quick as possible to plough it into the next corner. I hated the body roll but totally enjoyed the superior driving position of being so high up.

I didn’t get to drive the A5 petrol due some chop smashing into the back of it coming down Sir Lowry’s Pass while @JohannSchwella was at the helm, so I had another go at the best car of the day, the Audi A5 3.0TDi.

It’s completely convinced me to upgrade my A4 to a A5 on my next Audi purchase.

To Chris, thank you dude. You are a royal legend and I have mad love for you. I have the utmost respect for you and your work and your most notable humility.

To Grant, thanks a mil for spending the day with us out on the road and explaining the cars so well.

To Wernich, this was all you. You are a real champ to recognise the value of leveraging social media and you have a great guy to back you up on that front. Chris won’t let you down. You run a smooth operation there and your coolness about the little accident did nothing less than impress all of us. Thank you for the treat and a HUGE thank you for the Advanced Driving Course, I’m stoked about it.

The Audi MVP Day rocked and I REALLY hope that I get invited back!

Be sure to join our Audi Run, which is a group of us that get together every now and again for a breakfast run in and around Cape Town. Our Facebook Group has more details.
