The jobIt’s been rather quiet on this front hey? Nope, didn’t think you’d notice.

Things have been crazy busy at work and this new year appears to have brought a few changes with it…

Here’s a quick round-up:
I’ve moved this domain to an international hosting provider since, like everything else, local hosting is too costly especially if everyone from Jo’burg is ending up on your site looking for Bushman’s Fire Sauce.

The job has also relocated. Nope, didn’t change employers. I now just go to a different building in Green Point to see the same people I used to see in the CBD. Though strangely enough, we have a new name, yet we’re still part of the same company. You following? This not only affects my head, but the amount of travelling I need to do since making the choice to use public transport.

I’ve made the effort to up the danger factor on my daily commute by adding a short, but effectively treacherous taxi trip. It’s necessary though if I need to be on time for work since the walk takes about 30 minutes at a leisurely pace. More on this in the following few weeks.

On a sadder note, my father-in-law passed away suddenly early in January which has affected René and myself in a number of ways, but we’re getting on with it and things are looking better than they were just a month ago. Thanks to those who have shown their support, we really do appreciate it.

Happy Yule tidings!

Merry Christmas everyone, hope the day’s a good one filled with loads of Christmas cheer, great food (usually prepared by parents) and good company.

Keep it safe ;)

Are you an IT professional? Yes? No? Who cares! We need your input. You see, the wife is slaving away at the studies again and one of her projects calls for a sampling of “real data”, so being the incredibly good husband I am… I created a little survey.

Here’s where you come in: If you are South African, and work in any IT-related field, try your hand at our survey by simply clicking here. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Nonprophet LogoOne year ago nonprophet.org.za was started out of the dusty remains of what was known as digitalsewer�. It was created to escape a formula, albeit unique, which had grown tired and was in desperate need of an update. I needed a place where I could express myself as myself and not a caricature I had invented, which had no life beyond that of it’s own asshole.

Of course, I’m not saying there was anything wrong with assholes (before a whole lot of you start to get offended) but the idea was five years tired by then and it needed an update. A fresh start even. Not to mention, that I’ve discovered that Knysna isn’t such a bad place afterall.

Seeing as I have a habit of establishing these site as brands, here’s our logo (see above left), a year late, but within budget. And while I’m still doing the sales / marketing pitch…

Why not express you love for nonprophet.org.za with your wallet, and buy a Nonprophet T-shirt today!
