I have been using PayPal to conduct international business for years and have always been frustrated by the fact that I could never receive payments directly to my PayPal account (as this was not legal in South Africa). Inevitably one finds other ways and means of dealing with this issue, credit card gateways and intermediaries like 2checkout.com come to mind but this naturally came at a premium and thus raised costs and was often quite inconvenient.
Then, enter FNB through a partnership with PayPal (that is surely going to fuel growth in e-commerce in South Africa along with the advent of low cost uncapped ADSL) and suddenly I can interact with anyone in the world cheaply and easily! What a game changer! I can launch a unique business or idea and become an international success overnight! Isn’t this excellent news? Aren’t you extremely positive about the economic landscape of this country? Well, I AM!!
I’m not sure how everyone else feels about all this, but I’d love to know…why not drop me a mail or post your comments below
The latest installment, in my never ending process of redesigns, has finally arrived. I will be writing a detailed post about the design process, and the thinking behind it, shortly. I was looking to create something relatively unique and personal, since this is my personal blog and should therefore be reflection of my personality.
That’s all from me for now…but stay tuned for my in depth explanation of my design process

I’m really sorry that I have been so quiet for the last week or so, I have been extremely busy getting this new look blog up and running. I would just like to say a huge thank you to Adii who wrote the original version of this theme, I simply modified it to suit my needs and it has come out looking absolutely brilliant! (more…)
