Revamp

The first phase of our revamp started today and is already almost finished. It’s awesome to have the additional space and be able to talk to Deon without walking outside or picking up the phone.

The place was full of dust but the maintenance crew did a neat and quick job breaking down the inside wall and have cleaned up most of the dust already, which is great.

We’ll hopefully have our air conditioning and flooring installed soon and then our desks. Looking forward to see the changes and an improvement in productivity.

I had the honour of being invited, to be one of the guest speakers at the Absa Business Forum, held at Far Hills Country Hotel just outside of George.

I spoke on the needs for a business website, things to ask a developer before engaging with them as well as a quick introduction to Search Engine Optimisation and Marketing.

The session went well and I received good feedback from members of the forum.

The event was Coordinated By Ebrahim Abrahams (Business Development Manager) & Hosted at Far Hills Country Hotel

I also saw my man Ziyaad Brown, hard at work in his Chef suit bringing in some awesome food that we all enjoyed.

I look forward to attending the next forum.

MyEcommerce Goes Dedicated

I had the privilege of ordering a dedicated server today.

  • Core 2 Quad 2.33 GHz
  • 4 GB DDR2 667 MHz
  • 2 x 160GB SATA HDD
  • H/ware RAID 1
  • 99.9% uptime with SLA

It is something that has been a hot topic at the office, and a very important decision for me to make. I guess everyone would like to have one, but being ready for the commitment is another thing all together.

Ordering the server is only one step in the process. I will have my work cut out for me over the next few weeks, till the end of the month. I will be completing all the administration involved with the upgrades and transfers of the domains that we are currently managing.

MyEcommerce will be releasing some exciting new packages, and promotions for both new and existing customers.
