Update for July 3, 2008

, , , ...

It has been a very long time since I updated this blog of mine with any posts. Life takes so many twists and turns and one forgets about all these different blogs and profiles all over the Internet. I am back in Cape Town after two years in Hogsback on the mountain, it has been a wonderful, magical time in my life up in the mountains with the forests and waterfalls and monkeys and birds reminding me of The Lord Of The Rings scenery everyday. In fact, a lot of the local people have named their properties or establishments after entities from The Lord Of the Rings books: Hobbiton, Lothlorien, Rivendell, The Shire; there's a local pub called The Hog & Hobbit even...!

I have been doing mostly computer related stuff, web development mostly and graphic design and video editing projects inbetween, all in all very much enjoyable work. I have been learning a lot and developing my skills base and also lately getting into serious web development with WordPress, Drupal and Joomla. I have a couple of reference works on XHTML, CSS, LAMP and PHP, Drupal, Joomla that I am wondering where I will ever find the time to read all of it between client projects and deadlines.

Currently I am working on the Social Media Press Release strategy for a Cape Town based PR company and building their WordPress based CMS and social networking profile integration. It is time-consuming and very detailed and needs a lot of concentration to keep track of everything. But I am happy doing it, it is what I do on the internet all the time anyway, might as well get paid for doing it for a living.

I have put up some recent pictures of mine, some of it I messed around with filters in Photoshop a bit


I am also very pleased to announce my own personal domain, all toward the goal of establishing a more serious professional profile online with the aim of having a central repository for all my scattered web identities and as an easy place where prospective clients or business partners can go to view my profile and portfolio and to get a sense of me as a person through seeing my interests and style of writing etxc etc
I am not sure how wise such a pursuit is, but hey, we can all just try and try again, can't we

So when you have a moment, please head over to my personal blog and portfolio website and let me know what you think in the comments. Thank you for visiting, hope to be updating more from now on
