Turning inwards and creating wealth

What I have now works for me here on Foxinni.com. But it has to evolve into what I have become over the past two years. Now that I have the skills to do what I want… I’m intending on doing exactly that.

No More!

No more over zealous blogging causing a once a zillion years blog post, no more boring profile, no more third party services running the show… no more “Uh, I wanted to share but it’s over there and not here” and no more life streaming.

Say YES to sharing

My blogging (or sharing) has gone third party, traction is withering and reactions are limited. This has caused me to basically stop using my site. Resulting in tears in eyes. But there is so much I have to share…

My weekly activities typically consist of:

  • Wordpress Development
  • Doing work at the office – {radiiate.com}
  • Getting sent links
  • Saving them on my Delicious
  • Twittering
  • More web development
  • Facebooking (a little)
  • Working on my active projects
  • Playing games
  • Watching some series in bed
  • and much much more, of course.

So what’s wrong?

I detest that I’ve become part of the norm that has blindly stayed un-evolved on the Internet. Sure Facebook is useful, but other that a complete wash of time and creating content for someone I’ve never met’s website… (same goes for Twitter btw), I’ve complete neglected my central hub, that which sets me apart. I want the conversation to be created on my terms, on my domain and then have feedback generated in concise and practical manners.

It boils down to…

Blogging faster, sharing thoughts quicker, not holding back, generating traffic, creating presence, building a personal hub before all others & having something of value… without it NOT being yours.

What to expect

I’ve never been an impulsive person. But that will have to change. Moving slowly on the web can be painful. Expect massive mushup focusing on my own domain & with what is closest to me personally and professionally. A quicker turnover with smaller blogs, aggregation of portfolio of high caliber. The design is in the working along with some big news.

Before this post gets to long winded… i’ll end it. Any thoughts?

Version 4
An emotional moment comes as I finally polish up this LONG overdue theme for my site. Many things can attribute to this theme taking well over 6 month to complete. Among those are the love/hate relationship I have with design, the lack of focus and the need to get everything perfect. My site is not perfect. [...] read more

District 9 out of 9
This past week I went to go see District 9 again. The make of any good movie is one that you can watch twice in quick succession only to appreciate it even more. The subtle South African flavor coupled with a unique story, told in an uncanny documentary style fashion made for an enjoyable second [...] read more

Firefox 3.5 fixed my Gmail!

WordPress setting sail…

I’m glad to see that from all the Google Summer of Code applicants, WordPress got eight students to work alongside them on what it to be the next generation of WordPress improvements.

Qwitter, it hurts…
Lately I’ve been getting lots of twitter followers. I think it’s mostly because of my recent move to WooThemes and thus I’ve refrained from over posting to twitter. I really don’t want to seem like a loony toon who tells people what he had for breakfast, and only try sharing stuff that are genuinely cool [...] read more

Ubuntu for the very 1st time

I've recently run into some crippling Windows problems. And it was, worst of all, effecting my Internet access when I need it so desperately, like so many fellow South Africans. Moving to mac has crossed my mind, but I opted to go to a free place. A place where operations and function, roam freely. Linux. read more

Unmoderated…

I currently have 110 unmoderated comments. Yes, I have a filter enabled and yes, I might have a few spam comments. Majority comes from my themes I realeased. They, luckely, will all be moving to ThemeSmith. More streamlining to do on my behalf. I apologize if you we’re caught up in that.  read more
