Whats been going on

Wow where to start , for a while now i have been working on way to many projects at one time and i think now is the time to start laying some of it out.

Hmmm i think the first project that i started on a while ago was a personal project called Deals SA (Trade Marked, Don’t go stealing my ideas). The basic idea of this project was to have a single point of notification for any deals that happen in South Africa , whether they be online deals of offline deals. This would save users the time of having to receive 100 mails about deals they don’t want from a site just because the one deal they wanted to be notified about is included in the list. Unfortunately i dropped the ball on this project and hopefully i can finish the project someday.

The second and slightly more successful (i.e. it actually got launched) project that i started on and one which i need to focus on alot more now is Podcasts SA. The idea of this project was to make as many internationally hosted podcasts available locally. Now this project started of as a torrent site and has now moved to direct downloads now since i noticed few to many people really knew what was going on with the torrents. I still have a ton of things i want to do with the site but for now i am just happy that it is up and running and that people are mostly using the site. It should be noted that the website is not called Podcasts SA , its actually called Podcity : The home of international podcasts in SA.

The last project that i am working on (for now at least) is project Freedom. This project will help local only BW users to download international files for free. I am not going to explain in detail how this is done , but i will just say that i have found a way for local only users to get international files for free. This is obviously dependant on a few things. The first being that you can only download http downloads and secondly you need to be a bit technically inclined to be able to run the setup required to use project Freedom. I may someday make it a lot easier for now you will need to know a bit about your home network and possibly setup a server or 2 on it that has Internet access. The reason that i am not yet releasing it is because i am scared that it is gona get seriously abused and with this abuse the ISP’s are going to notice and might block it in future.

So thats what i have been doing from the personal project side , on the gaming side i finally finished FEAR 2 as well as Fallout 3. Both of these are awesome game if you are looking to buy any of them. I was just disappointed with Fallout 3 in that after you are finished the main story the game is over , while this might not sound to bad it is for a RPG .I personally decided that i would leave most of the side quests till after i was done with the game only to find that i could not do so.

There are still quite a few other things that have been going on and as soon as i get more time i will go into detail about how each of my projects is going to work as well as a progress update on each of them.

As always please leave a comment if you feel you have something to say.
