Hello World.

Just dropping by to give you a brief update about what we’re doing.

1. Design Kingdom
Design Kingdom Version 2 launched on 24th July. It’s bigger and it’s better. So far, the users really love it! We’ll continue to add tutorials, articles, featured artists and we hope that you will join the discussions, forums, and community.

2. Seacom’s Broadband
We were proud to be invited to the Seacom Media Launch. I must admit I was blown away by the speeds that we were able to get on the fibre optic cable. But there still remains a lot of work to be done before that speed gets to the end user. See my blog post on this for more information.

3. BlogSpirit v 1.5
As we mentioned earlier, we’re doing some revisions on BlogSpirit, and we’ll be launching version 1.5 on 1st September 2009. There’s still tonnes of work, but we’re excited at the progress we’re making so far.

We’ve also done a few hardware upgrades that should see significant improvement in performance on our servers.

So that’s it for now, we’ll be back real soon.

Stay cool y’all.

BlogSpirit reaches 100 Blogs!

Wow! We’ve actually hit 100 blogs on Node Six BlogSpirit! There’s something we’re working that was supposed to be ready by the time we reached 100 blogs, but then I didn’t expect it to be so soon.

Anyhow, we’re still working and we’ll be releasing it soon. Kudos to all the people tirelessly working to make it a success.

Design Kingdom goes live

Some might have seen the Design Kingdom demo, and tried it out, but it still needed some work. To do an early launch, we’ve revised layouts and content a little bit, to allow for people to use the site in the meantime. So without further ado, I give you the Design Kingdom!

If you are a designer, feel free to check it out!

PS, the rate at which Design Kingdom is updated might flood BlogSpirit, but please bear with us.

BHH (Blogger’s Happy Hour)

Went late for another BHH yesterday. Was awesome as usual, except I apparently missed out on major intarekcho discussions. I know other bloggers are better than me at recapping, so I’ll let them do it. Go Antipop!

And still on blogging, we’re at 97 bloggers on BlogSpirit! Yeah!

Rogue King

I’ve started a personal blog to talk about non-Node Six issues, stuff I’m passionate about. It’s called The Rogue King. See it here.

Go Daddy’s new look.

We use Go Daddy almost daily for domain registrations, and a few days back I noticed it was taking ages to load throughout the entire domain purchase process. Turns out they were updating their website.

Honestly, I don’t like the new look. It’s a little unbalanced (black is too heavy on one side) and yeah, the graphics are heavy. Not too sure how this will affect the domain shopping experience for some of us.

Plus everytime they do this, it’s harder to find your way around. We’ll see how it goes, might end up getting used to it (again).
