Creating public profile pages for Notifo.com services and projects. We are lucky to have an active developer community and unfortunately our current system of having to manually link up ( http://notifo.com/services ) cool projects and services we find is getting to be cumbersome. Service accounts will be able to provide screenshots/video and detailed description/setup info for their service. Developers that build projects (as we like to call them.. usually many notifo related things on github, cpan, etc) can setup a public project profile as well.

As for why I'm doing that, it's to address a common FAQ - "how do I subscribe to this service?" We want to give services a page to describe that and more. Kinda like your typical Add-on/Extension Gallery found at the likes of Mozilla, Chrome, et cetera.

Trying to get a bunch of features released for http://verbapp.com/. Just launched http://hellohype.com/ and need to start getting the word out about it. Also need to release an iPhone app I made. Rebuilding my blog (using HTML5 and a whole bunch of fun new things). Getting the plans together with a co-founder for a secret new startup. Designing a whole new brand/site design for a current startup (and sorting out some founder issues with it). Oh and my day job (UI/UX designer). I think that's about it (apart from a bunch of tiny projects, like a font I'm halfway through creating).

I'm working on coza robot: http://cozarobot.co.za It's like Dotster for co.za domains. The current way to register co.za domains is a real pain in the butt. Oh, and it has a DNS manager built-in.

+1. I always just register a .com. Even though they're harder to find, it's less hassle. Having an easier co.za registration service is a win.

http://qwerly.com, a people search for the social web. Currently works like a whois for Twitter: put in a Twitter username, get back a page with links to that person's other social web profiles.

(Tried to submit it as a Rate My Startup last week, but got nixed.)

For my day job, I work on technical improvements for our infrastructure at Blue Box Group, and I help out in the support queue when there's especially weird problems to debug. Most things I write are shell/Perl scripts and Ruby code.

On the side, I'm always reading books on computer science and programming. One of the projects I'm working on is a toy compiler written in Ruby.

http://Spojit.com We're trying to make it easier to create and share your online business card/identity when you meet people at events. We want to make it more seamless than the two-handed exchanges of business cards that happen at events - and you gotta do it and repeat with so many people ! Spojit is about to go into alpha very soon. Do sign up for an invite if you wish to help us test out the alpha version.
