so fast forward 8 years! Well a lot has happened in the last 8 years. Lets see - I've moved on from the broadcasting company and onto another small IT company in London, which lasted for just over a year. I became a father to 2 beautiful children (Annerie and Neil) and we move back from the UK to Cape Town in South Africa. Here I joined Dimension Data for the last 5 years and today is my second day in my new job at Microsoft. Yes you read it correctly - Microsoft - the ultimate job to have at a vendor on who's products I've been working since I interacted with computers - way back when I was 11 or 12 years old. So I'm specializing n Skype for Business now - a good all round product for which you need to know so many Microsoft technologies and how they all interact with eachother. Not to mention the firewall, networking and telephony aspects of it as well and we can probably throw in some mobility in there as well. Sadly Michael Schumacher has been in a terrible accident and though he is out of his coma, things will never be the same again and publicly he has not been seen since the accident.
On the f1 front, well since the hybrid era has been introduced I must say this year at last we will have a good season and not just a 2 horse race like in the last 3 or 4 years. Watching F1 this year will be more exciting and I hope Vettel can pull it off for Ferrari this year.
Anyway until next time - hopefully not another 8 years...
