• Burning Midnight oil - again.

  Why do I go this? get caught up in what I'm doing and before I know it, it's time for breakfast. This time I'm planning for next year, next 5 years in fact, hey I got told to think BIG. I didn't realise that thinking BIG would keep me up all night. I suppose that's why when I created the sadeveloper Wine lable I called it : “Le Midnight oil”. I think I might have a bottle left... (ok the pic just does not give it credit, but then it was taken on a 800k pixel camera (before I got the big...

• Quiet Weekend?

  Now most people know I'm up in Johannesburg, my family is still in Cape Town, and will only be joining me on the 25th June. That would make 4 months apart, how does one cope, very expensive Tel bill (Children talk forever when given the phone hehe), and friends. Lots of people say to me that they don't like to go out, don't like to get together, WHY I ask? If it was not for the friends I made being involved in the communities and the MVP program I really would have had a long quite lonely wait for...

• DevDays 2005

  Another success for Devdays... It was really a treat engaging with the speakers. and sadeveloper / saarchitect did their bit at making the international speakers really feel welcome in South Africa . The only pity was that there was not more time; I know the CT bunch would have loved to have had them around far a Nerd dinner. They did manage to join some community members in JHB at the opening of Star War's, what a blast. I was going to post all those lovely pics, but I copied them for Andre to go...
