FINA Swimming World Cup '05
[offline] |
|
In the weeks preceeding the 11th - 13th Nov, 2005, we had the pleasure of developing the software which powered the electronic scoreboard that was used during the FINA Swimming World Cup, held in our very own city of Durban, South Africa. A worldwide audience, and a brigade of foreign FINA officials keeping a careful eye on the event, meant there was no margin for error. Our huge commitment to the project pushed us to spend endless hours testing and debugging the system, and resulted in a terrific success with our application.
In addition, we provided on-site technical support for the duration of the event, at the King's Park Aquatic Centre.

Durban's No.1 cab service came to Derosion looking for an online presence that would be useful to interested visitors. That meant online booking, weather reports, even a lost & found facility. All were delivered promptly, and the website is just about ready to launch at mozzie.co.za.

We built this website for the Telkom-sponsored Ucingo project. African women craft beautiful wire art pieces; we make it easy for people like you to buy them. Empowering rural community dwellers with a zest for life and a willingness to work? That sounds good to us.

Moved to Auckland, New Zealand this week. Nope, I never knew it was happening either! The jump from +2 GMT (no daylight savings) to +12 GMT (with daylight savings) is not a little one, so let the jet lag begin...
Circling to land made a huge impression on me. Saw perfectly clear blue-green sea with coral reefs plainly visible from above, with islands scattered here and there. Landing in solid concrete London a day or two before was no comparison at all.
Setting up the new office now. Revitalized from a couple days of laying back in planes and airports reading some very good books (Kayosaki and Trump). Not too much hardware was fried in the trip, so after a little Monday shopping will be back in action. That's Sunday to you. Kia ora! |

New service launched

Hello folks! Just a quick update to announce the launch of a new service for a booming sector. Target market is a very specific (but considerably large) demographic: Herbalife Independent Distributors in South Africa first, then internationally by year end. Long story short, these distributors resell their stock of health products at a profit margin ranging from 25-50%. After realizing how many Herbalife Independent Distributors there are around here, and how badly existing web sites for these distributors sucked, the logical thing was to build something better. Four months on, I'm proud to launch a system which lets any distributor lease their own store which looks like this and be online in a matter of minutes! Sadly Herbalife International, Inc. has put forward several demands along with legal pressure. I've complied with the reasonable, like switching the store system promo site from HerbalifeTools.com to DistributorsTools.com, but find others unreasonably crippling. For example, they demand that I don't recommend any product for any problem whatsoever! Yes, even acne, diabetes, obesity, etc. Why would a visitor buy a strange bottle or shake when they're not told what it's intended for? Tell me I'm not alone in this. Another month, another lawsuit. |
