Walk in Newlands Forest

29 Nov 2004

Tags: , ,

Jeremy invited a colleague to go for a walk in the forest, and my other plans falling through, I tagged along. Her dog, Liesl, and Dante seemed to enjoy themselves - Liesl not having to play guide dog and Dante being trusted off-lead. He didn't let us down, wandering around but staying within sight and coming when called.

If you know me, you'll know exercise at noone on a hot summer Cape Town day isn't something I generally do. I managed not to get sunburnt, and survived otherwise well. This may mean me actually doing this stuff again, and I don't want to blaspheme, but I may even end up being somewhat remotely above 'excessively unfit' on the fitness scale.

Afterwards, Jeremy and I headed to a pool for a must-appreciated swim. Unfortunately it was a public one and there was no shallow end/stairs for Dante to try swimming.

Hi, I'm Neil Blakey-Milner, a technology generalist most interested by open source, security, and building scalable systems (especially if I get to use the Python programming language).

I "work" at the incredibly fun web-sites-for-everyone startup SynthaSite based in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.

What I do

  • StarCamp

    I was the main instigator behind this 2-day unconference in December 2007 in Cape Town. There'll be another one in Cape Town around July.

  • GeekDinner

    I help out in making these geek social events happen every two months in Cape Town since March 2007.

  • SynthaSite

    I make sure that the systems run smoothly at this Cape Town-born Web 2.0 startup.

  • Presentations

    I speak publically on a number of topics - generally related to technical aspects of open source software or on software development.

  • Code

    I've written a few software projects of my own over the years (although mostly I'm the only user of them).

  • Photos

    I'm far from an artist, but I enjoy capturing my experiences on camera.
