Just a quick update to let everyone know that we hav packed up our house in Somerset West and are now living in Cape Town!
We have moved to a 2 bedroom place up in High Cape, which overlooks the CBD. We still have a few boxes to unpack, still don’t have proper DStv and I’m waiting patiently for Telkom to install a telephone and ADSL. So no HD sport or ADSL. I’m getting serious withdrawal symptoms.
Once we have settled in, I’ll take a few pics of the place as well as the amazing view and post them here.
I signed up for Project52 this morning. Basically, its a group of bloggers that are going to try and blog once a week for an entire year. From the website:
Project52 is a personal challenge geared toward getting fresh content on your website. The goal is to write at least 1 new article per week for 1 year. Because we all know what it‘s like to procrastinate on our content. A website is not just a fresh design that can be uploaded to the web and forgotten about!
I’m struggling to write a post a month these days, but I can definitely give this a go!
One of Beanbag Media’s new clients, Creative Cape Town, have been running a Facebook group for a couple of months. The group managed to rally just over 600 members in the couple of months it has been up and running. After a quick strat meeting the other day, I suggested to CCT that they move over to a Facebook page as it offers more flexibility and updates to the page are pulled into it’s fans stream so they can more easily interact and see what’s happening within Creative Cape Town.
2 weeks after migrating, the Creative Cape Town Facebook fan page has over 1200 members and the interaction on the page has been way better than the group ever saw.
Facebook groups are dead. Create a fan page. End of story.
Flash 10 seems to be causing a number of headaches on the web. Google Analytics, widgets embedded in websites (such as the News24 election coverage map) as well as the flash uploader for WordPress all seem to break or behave strangely.
To remove Flash 10 and then install Flash 9, follow these easy steps for both PC and Mac:
- Download and run the Flash uninstaller (available from Adobe)
- Download and install Flash 9 (available from Adobe)
- Bask in the glory that your web browsing experience is now fixed
That’s it!
