As usual all the orphans got together and had a ball. We spent Christmas day at Chinaman’s beach in a little park. Volleyball, cricket, swimming, paddle boards name it we did it. We got lucky with some great weather. Boxing day was at the Ackermann’s in the pool and around the braai. Pork, Lamb, Beef and chicken – Thanks again Werner and Elise we had a ball.
New Video as well on the Video Tab

To all the UYS’e out there – I have managed to secure the UYS.name domain name. This new domain name ( Dot Name or .Name Domain ) as you can imagine will uniquely identify individuals – Just like the .co.za and the com.au are there to uniquely identify the country the web site is hosted in.
I have registered the domain for a period of 5 years.
So what can we do with it you ask …
As a service to other UYS’e out there I can offer you a email address such as Neil@UYS.name that I will forward to any other mail account you might have ( such as Gmail, hotmail, yahoo or even your work email )
The benefits are huge – As cload computing becomes more and more part of our daily lives a utility based approach to computing shows practical and functional benefits.
Example – if you have a Gmail email account and wish to change to something else, the choice to change and the ease at which you will be able to do it will become easier and easier. So you have a unique personal identity such as YourName@YourSurname.Name that stays with you for life and it then simply routes your mail to your current email host of choice.
If you are interested in your own @UYS.Name email alias let me know.
In return I want to use your information to build on the current online UYS register database to try and capture as much as possible information about all the UYS’e out there and how we are related.
Since I am in the upgrade mood I also upgraded my Uys Family Genealong web. So all the family members that read the blog – let me know if you are interested in member access so that you can update your family details.
It’s a slow, but interesting task and I really only spend a few moments on it here and there. So if you see any mistakes, please let me know – or even better, lets get you a account and you can help build.
There is a link to the site under the Genealogy tab at the top of the blog and here is the same again :
