Disbandment of the scorpions in South Africa

Wow, very nice emerging technologies from Musion.

Basically it’s a holographic projection video conferencing technology that was built by Cisco and Musion, which is currently being planned for stage-type environments, and later into business and then into your home.

They’ve got a nice video of the presentation here.

Worth a watch, and check out, Martin de Beer’s father is in South Africa …

I find this quite disturbing, I took this photo in Central Pretoria about a year ago, just next to the Reserve Bank.

This just makes one wonder how easy and dangerous it can be …

The company I’m currently working for, DVT, has a product called Radical, with which I’ve been playing around with quite intensely lately.

I’m currently busy with a very large Aviation project, where we are using Radical to co-ordinate and store vital information for the Aircraft, parts and much more.(don’t want to abbreviate on this yet).

This product was developed locally and thus this is localy Intellectual Property of DVT, which was bought from(or acquisition done) Solutional a few years ago.

The main idea behind Radical was to be a CRM solutional, but it has grown to such a powerful product, that today, you can vitually build anything on it - an in very quick timeframes.  I usually just summarize it as “Access on Steroids”  where you now have a powerful Intelligent GUI interface which lays on top of the database, with form logic and BRP(Busines Rule Processor) running on top of that to ensure you can monitor and manage any process effectively.

They do have a free download available(1 user lisence) for guys that want to have a peek.

Unfortunately this product only runs with MS SQL Server underneath, but soon(if I can get them converted :-/ ) we could maybe see engines like MySQL under the bonet.
