I can’t wait to attend the next Stompernet Live7 event in Atlanta next month. I’ve just booked my flight and made reservations at the hotel.

Jerry West and David Bullock will be giving a presentation on how they dominate their markets. Both are well-known experts in their respective fields (Jerry West: SEO & Design, David Bullock: Tracking & Analytics). Since the presentation will not be recorded or released in the Stompernet portal I have decided that this should be enough reason to attend (not that the rest of the presentations will not be mind-blowing, it’s just that I would have waited for the online versions instead).

When I get back we will immediately put the information and knowledge gained at the event to good use.

Wow, this was one busy weekend and I think I need another just to recover from this one. Friday we prepared for Mieka’s birthday party – blowing up balloons, filling candy boxes, etc.

On Saturday we got the kiddies pool ready and the first kids came earlier than expected. Kids had a blast with water balloons and swimming all day. Meanwhile we made some pizza in the pizza oven (it does taste better than in a normal oven).

Saturday evening we went to a valentines dance – food was great but I did not really like the music – only Afrikaans, and of the two English songs I heard that night one was a cover version

At least the food was good. They served schnitzel and chips.

Sunday we went to church and afterwards the family came over for a braai. We started cleaning up and doing some dishes.

This is actually a strange type of post to start with on this blog, but I thought it might be a good idea to share my thoughts with you.

Don’t you find all those interrupting phone calls annoying – you know, people who try to sell you stuff, and so on – while you should be focussing on getting your work done?

Well, I’ve decided to implement a new rule and will stick to it from now on. If I do not have a caller’s phone number in my address book, or if they call me from a “blocked” number, I will simply refuse to answer the call. Simple as that. If it’s important they can leave a voice message and I will call them back. However, if you are in my address book and I am available I will answer your call.

Of course my preferred method would be to make contact via email – that way I can read and reply when it is suitable for me. And these days I am only checking my email twice per day, so that also makes me a bit more productive.

Ok, I’ll have to get back to work now. I have two important projects I need to take care of today. Cheers
