So, I’m settled in Jozi

Yup, moved to Rivonia rd, Sandton. We got some serious investment for Blueworld and the powers that be insisted that I move up to ’011′ so they could monitor their investment closely. Funny enough I’m loving it! Maybe its to soon to say but I was born for the fast paced life of jozi. What makes it even better is I’ve been privileged enough to meet with the likes of Ronnie Apteker, Chriss Ross (Head of marketing and sales for Vodacom) and the guys from Teljoy namely Jason Joffe.. So I guess I’m off to a good start

Secondly, something I have been planning for years has finally seen the light. The new version of the first website I ever built, Zoopedup, is online. Point your browser here and let me know what you think.

Here’s the blurp from the site

Zoopedup is a automotive social network that allows you to create an online garage for your car featuring blogging, video and picture sharing, discussion forums, ride battles and event galleries from around the globe.

Finally, I’m going out to get well tipsy tonight as my biggest monthly Adsense earnings cheque (R6970.19) has just arrived!! Thank you big G! This comes just in the nick of time as I spent a small fortune kitting our my new pad. Yay!
