Afrigator Blog

This is a very quick update to tell you that Afrigator has moved offices to Gardens in Cape Town. Not only do we have a new address but we also have a new contact number so if you’re trying to get a hold of us we suggest visiting our updated Contact page on our corporate site.

If you’re ever in the area it is a pre-requisite to pop in for a cup of coffee or, if it’s late enough for you, a beer with the Afrigator team.

It’s that time of the year again where we have to perform some routine server maintenance. We have historically waited until the end of the year to perform these updates so as to prevent as little inconvenience to you guys and this year is no different.

The maintenance period is set to start on Monday 21 December 2009 at 17:30 SAST (GMT +2) and will end on Tuesday 22 December 2009 at 01:00 SAST (GMT +2). The following services are set to be affected during this period:

1) Afrigator
2) Adgator
3) Gatorpeeps
4) GatorURL

Please note that this doesn’t mean that all these services will be unavailable for the duration of the maintenance period, it simply means that any/all of these services may be affected intermittently during this period.

We will do our best to ensure that each of these services have the highest available uptime over this period and we will endeavour to minimize the inconvenience to you as best we can.

We thank you in the advance for your patience.

Right, I know there’s been a lot of highly anxious entrants in the win a private dinner with The Parlotones competition and we must apologise for the delay in getting the winners announced.

The good news is that we can officially announce that our first winner is Harmony for her two blog posts entitled Harmony’s Dinner with the Parlotones and A Giant Mistake … or not.

The judges were unanimous in their decision as Harmony’s creativity really carried through into the spirit of the competition. Harmony has just won a private dinner with the Parlotones for herself and a partner at a location in Jozi and we can’t wait to arrange all the finer details with her soon.

Our second winner is… drum-roll please… Raymond Trueman with his blog post titled Parlotones Giant Mistake Competition Entry. Apart from buying a whole case of Giant Mistake wine it is clear that Raymond is almost as big a Parlotones fan as myself so it made perfect sense to award the second prize to him.

As you may have noticed both winners are from Gauteng and while the judges were really hoping to get winners from both Jozi and Cape Town we ended up in a scenario where there were more entries from Gauteng and almost all of them were deserving winners.

Well done to both our winners. We’ll be in contact with you shortly to work out the finer details!
