I've been in South Africa for a couple of weeks now and now that I've found my feet I thought I'd kick off a blog to let everyone know I'm still alive and what-not.

For the uninitiated, I am contracting for Vodacom in Johannesburg, working on the Vodafone live R9 upgrade (don't worry if you don't understand that - it's so not important). I should be out here for 6 months or so, depending on how long it takes for us to get this beast working and launched.

I've just moved into my new abode after a couple of weeks of sofa-surfing and hotels. More info to follow...
