In amongst some really interesting projects we’re working on, I read. And while reading the usuals, I was quite intrigued to note that some of my colleagues at FormFunction and Altersage were writing for and being published in Mail & Guardian Online’s relatively new website Techleader. I slowly turned green, and thought I’d ask Joey what it takes to be an author on the site. He put me in contact with the powers that be, and they approved me quite rapidly and sent me my author’s login details.

After a brief foot finding session in a user interface that I am more than familiar with (WordPress MU), customised to be inline with their company, and surely tightened up for security, I wrote a piece that you can’t go wrong on. A top 10 list of open source software…. for Windows Vista no less.

I did this last night (9th July) and tonight I am the featured contributor. Maybe a flash in the pan start, but I’m chuffed.
