Me and Afrigator in oh eight

I’ll leave the predictions to the masters and thought I’d give you a bit more insight of what is in the pipeline for myself and Afrigator instead.

Lets start with the Gator. Tyler predicted:

“…January should be a busy month for the Afrigator team as they prepare to get their current beta version live…”

and

“…Throughout the rest of the year I believe they will focus on aggregating African Social Media by tapping into more API’s of African sites instead of relying on huge international sites such Flickr and YouTube…”

Tyler, dude, scary how accurate you can predict the future. Spot on, but there are quite a few new surprises waiting. I’m going to have to get my fat ass into serious gear and iron out the current bugs, so that we can start development of an array of new services (which I’d love to tell you about, but 3 other okes will have my hide should I do so…). So, best advice is to cheer me on so I can iron out the nasties and get cracking on the new/good stuff.

2007 ended in a crazy, crazy fashion. Therefore there was little energy and time spent on ironing out of the nasties in Afrigator. Thing is that the way 2007 ended was an exciting sign/omen for 2008. Lots will happen for me personally, so I was quite happy to let it ride and get it going.

On a personal level, I took a mini holiday between Christmas and now and it was intense and awesome. I’ve got some fantastic gifts for both Christmas and my birthday which awakened the “Jamie Oliver” in me and I’m now doing ALL the cooking duties in the house and are LOVING it! Yes, in the past my cooking repertoire was bland and boring, but with great new utensils it is picking up and I’ve discovered that great food is not a nice to have, but an absolute necesity. So I’ll be seriously honing my culinary skills. I’ve also realised that being over weight is SERIOUSLY overrated. Therefore I’ll be dusting off the squash raquet and jogging shoes and get into gear for a more active and healthier year.

May it be a great oh eight to you all!

  Loosing weight with all that good food around? Good luck! I’m sure there’s lots of chillies and/or cayenne peppers involved though?

  Happy New Year Stii

  I take my hat off to you, you are the first person I know to have new years resolutions of both learning to cook and losing weight simultaneously! Good luck on both accounts!

  Regards

  LOL, guys! Can it be so hard? If I cook fairly healthy and excercise regularly and eat the good food in moderation, surely it cannot be that hard? I think…?

  There are many more of us in the same boat.
  Cooking fairly healthily - I can live with that.
  Exercise regularly - I am working on the idea.
  Eating in moderation - What’s the fun in that?

  If you manage what you intend doing, you can make a killing! Franchise opportunities on the horison? (Don’t forget the before and after photos - damn good marketing tool!)
  Good luck. I’ll be watching your progress with much interest!

  Good luck with the weight loosing, especially over this season .

  Cooking, remember, every little taste counts when testing your broths

  Thanks chaps! I must say, so far, so good! Enjoying the cooking and trying to keep it as healthy as humanly possible… Went for my first jogging/walking session in a long long long time and it didn’t go as badly as I suspected. Although I must add, I now feel like death warmed up…

Spit it out!
