A little bit more of this and that…

28 January 2010

So, 2010…
Let’s take a quick look back at 2009. Done? Great! Yes, it was an eventful year that culminated in me living a life I’m pretty damn happy with. Don’t worry about the details. Just trust me.

I’ve deleted my previous post on the Android apps I use, because it was ugly. So, this here is just a filler post until I can get around to actually writing something substantial. I’ve been busy with quite a few things.

Geocaching in more hostile environments (which takes time) as well as just hiking in general. In fact, I just spent R2000 on a pair of Merrell Outbound Mid Leather GTX boots. They’re still being walked in, and will see first real use this weekend when a few friends and I will climb up Botmaskop. It’s all part of a decision to lead a somewhat healthier lifestyle.
Waze. Waze appeases my OCD, as I get to fuss over little lines and whether they’re properly connected. The mapping of Stellenbosch is going well.
The elephant in the room, TweetMeUp.net (yes, I’m still working on it, a little bit at a time).
I dabbled in building my own ROM for my HTC Hero, but decided to put a hold on it after realizing that the sources are 2GB+ (goodbye bandwidth!).
There may be a new theme somewhere in the future for this very site. The itch is back.
The day job. We’ve got HUGE plans, some which are being realised at this very moment, and it’s only going to get better…
Sorting out random admin. Apparently I’m a grown-up now, and I need to do grown-up things.

That’s pretty much it. Stay tuned for a real, and interesting blog-post soonish.

This blog’s been real quiet lately, and for that I apologize. Here’s why, and what you can expect for the next few posts:

The day job. Still loving every moment of it. Still can’t believe how lucky and blessed I am to have gotten it. One of our products, GivenGain, is an amazing system that I’ll be telling you about soon.
TweetMeUp.net has been a little stagnant. We’ve revamped the RSVP system, and are busy working on the internals for exciting times ahead. An announcement on what exactly it is we’re doing will be made as soon as it’s all up an running.
I’m strapped for cash, after splashing on a HTC Hero. Amazing phone, about to get even more amazing when the Android 2.0 update hits. Expect an in-depth review.
I’ve taken up geocaching as a hobby (thanks to abovementioned phone’s awesome GPS and the GeoBeagle app). 5 caches found so far, 1 hidden away. I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the sport some time in the future.

And that’s about it. I’ll write up posts about these topics as I have time…

Still here. Still alive. Been busy. There’s the dayjob, which I’m still enjoying very much, there’s TweetMeUp.net, and there’s life in general.
I’ll get around to writing a decent post soon. I’d like very much to tell you about GivenGain (and how you can use it to really make a difference), but I’d like to do it properly, and for that I need time.

For now, here are some kittens to stare at.

My pet project went live on Sunday, and so far it’s been running quite smoothly. It hasn’t seen much more than mild curiousity yet, but here’s hoping it’ll become wildly popular (and scale).
My previous post thoroughly explains the concept, so head on over there if you want to know what it’s all about.

So, if you’re a Twitter user, and you’re planning on organizing a Tweetup (Twitter Meetup), you can do worse than click on through to http://tweetmeup.net. It aims to be quick, easy and light.

I have quite a number of future features planned, and I’m open to suggestions, criticism, and ideas. Hopefully, as the service evolves, we’ll end up a feature-rich platform that’ll keep everyone happy.
