Hey peasants! It has been really long while since I posted anything here, almost 5 months. Fortunately there’ll be no excuses as I’m sure you know how things go between work and the time you fall asleep on the couch.
With that, I’ll let you know that I’ve left my employment at a prominent web hosting company to work for a prominent media company, which puts me back in the CBD doing web development. Though, leaving behind a great group of youngsters has it’s drawbacks, one sometimes has to take one’s career and possible future events (like getting old) into consideration. At this point I feel that I could be here a while as the opportunity to grow within this company is vast and this ever changing nature of online media is one that is constantly changing. There are interesting days ahead.
Just a big, huge thanks for the folks that turned out at my ‘lil drinks evening on the 29th of June, your presence certainly made my evening that much more enjoyable, though there will always be those that would sooner be playing Action Soccer. 
Thanks again.
That’s it for now. Peace out.
that looks like the view from the naspers building? are you coding in storyserver?
I can neither confirm nor deny the building, but I am using StoryServer and Tcl
lol @ first 2 comments
warrenski: why?
jk: i used to work there, i know the view. i also know they have a pretty cafeteria. i think i even might know who you replaced… is genevieve or marilyn still there? paulo?
Gen and Paulo are still here, Paulo’s showing me the ropes… Doubt Marilyn’s still here, but the place is expanding and moving house soon, but more on that a lil later
Would you mind saying Hi to the both of them? And Good Luck, they are the nicest 2 people you could be stuck working with…
sarah: lol because you’re both being hush-hush about the name of the company
i said the naspers building… i can’t assume to know where he is working though because there are 21 floors of businesses located there. i could assume it is ‘the one’ that deals with all the 24′s, especially if he’s working with **** and ****.
…hell, for all you know, I could be working at SARS..
Nice one mate. Best of luck for the future!
Thanks Ian, much appreciated
Hey hey! Just checking the site on the off chance and whaddaya know! Working in media eh… ah well, we all sell out sometime
Kidding you mate, congrats on the new position and that awesome view.
Strange, I think my Father works in that building too, as I recognise that view, small world!
Hey, thanks Nats… the new job’s kewl, though not too far removed from what I’m used to, as I’m still coding. The industry is a lot more deadline orientated, as I’m sure you’re aware
Chris, at the moment I know about a handful of people on the floor I’m on which should give an idea of the number of ppl working here, but I’lll try to post a few more pics during course of this week…. more clues.
Sarah, Gen says “Hi” and had a few questions about how you are doing and how we know each other… I told her where you’re at and we discussed the size of the planet among other, our relations with Kevin Bacon*.
hmm, i should give her a shout. the size of the planet thing is amazing though. when i was in richmond (uk), i bumped into the marketing manager of a company i used to work at in durbanville. aswell as seeing a few past pupils of the high school i used to go at various venues in the uk. it was very weird.
