"Relationship Marketing Guru". "The new Einstein of Marketing". "Genius". "True Artist". "Leonardo da Vinci of the Internet". These are some of the titles people have bestowed on me in the past. Flattering as they are, they show that you are not dealing with your average Management & CRM Consultant here. Involved in Database Marketing and Relationship Management since 1993, my skill set combines extensive management, marketing and IT experience - both at strategic and front-end level. I've travelled the world from Bangkok to San Francisco, from Dubai to Asunción, presenting my 'Diamond CRM' business transformation model at marketing conferences. Companies all over the world utilise it as a guideline in their quest to become more customer-centric. My articles have been widely published online and in print.
Having developed my own Internet presence since 1995 and client projects since 1997, I've developed way over 60 websites. I use PHP, MySQL, Javascript and CSS. I have designed anything from 'quick and dirty (but pretty)' to complex database applications, e-commerce and content management system sites. On the design side I am capably assisted by Solveigh Thude and other select designers. As you may have guessed, this website is also a product of mine - line by line hand-coded - giving you more than a good idea of what I can do for you!
Photography is but a feeble attempt to capture the transient, the fleeting moments. It has always been a passion of mine. I took my first pictures in Grade 2 at the tender age of 6. In 1980 I got my first SLR, a Yashica FR-1. In 1992 an upgrade to a Contax RTS III threw me into a different photographic orbit. I left it in 2003 when I went digital with an Olympus C-5050Z, only to return to it later when the Oly hit the ground and died a sudden death. Right now I'm using a Fuji F30, waiting for the release of the new Olympus E. Despite it being only a hobby, my photos have made it into books, onto CD covers, Youth Hostel ID cards, hotel and golf course brochures and many other places - even turned into paintings! Obviously, all pictures on this site are mine, so... enjoy!
Ever since I set up my own shop I have done major startup work for companies like Opera Software and Sonork SRL. On the side I have been involved in the GEOS and BeOS operating environments. I work on the Net. As a result, this section deals with my personal software recommendations. The products are all non-mainstream, which pretty much by default makes them superior to the more popular choices. The products include Opera (browser), Becky (email), Edit+ (Text/Programming Editor), TotalCommander (File Manager), Outpost Firewall, IrfanView (Image Viewer), Canvas (Image, Graphics and DTP Editor), the Zeta OS (ex-BeOS) and many others. Rest assured taat my recommendations will make your computing experience more productive, safer, faster and less expensive. What more need I say?!
Since 1999 Inspired Mind has helped thousands to live a better life. Originally conceived under the name "Mindshift" as part of Opera Software ASA, it's a portal of sorts that contains content you'd normally have to look hard for. Categories include Business, Community, Education, Environment, Health, Home & Garden, Technology and more. Here you will also find various book recommendations and an immense number of links to other sites on the Net. A real treasure chest for the inquiring mind!
Vuvu is an ambitious project, if there ever was one. I've lived in South Africa for more than a decade. After witnessing the first 10 years of the so-called democracy, I've come to realise that 'democracy' the way it's implemented and practiced in this country has simply formed another form of apartheid. It's only that political oppression has made way to economic oppression, which in many ways is far more insidious. Vuvu - short for 'vuvuzela', the infamous horn ubiqutous at local soccer matches - aims at putting together a masterplan for a new South Africa, a compendium for a decent life for all, not just the old white rich and the new black rich. Your participation is encouraged and appreciated.

Marketing Competence was founded in order to provide a resource for CRM students and managers alike. It's been online since 1997 as an Internet resource on Total Customer Management. Prior to that I founded and managed the world's first mailing list on Database Marketing and Relationship Management, DM-Digest. Neglected of late because it had outlived itself, it has now been redesigned and incorporated into this site. Enjoy!
This section is my personal blog on current affairs in South Africa and beyond. Don't expect daily postings, but I am sure you will find something of interest in it. At the very least it may plant a seed in your mind, that may one day grow into something big. Welcome and enjoy!
Rife Frequency Generator
On my excursions through the depths of the WWW, I stumbled across something that fascinates me to the day, and that will soon become a bigger focus of my personal attention, too: the Rife Frequency Generator (RFG). This device was developed by Dr. Royal Rife in the 1930s, but then forgotten and the technology lost. People supporting Dr. Rife and convinced of the efficacy of his device were killed or died under mysterious circumstances, and Dr. Rife himself later became a victim.
The RFG is in essence a device which, "through the process of electrical resonance, had the ability to destroy or devitalize specific cells and microorganisms. The Rife device also had the ability to remove cataracts from patients eyes." (source and link below)
US citizen James E. Bare D.C. has now taken upon the task to redesign and improve on the original technology devised by Dr. Rife, and has published a book that explains how anyone can create such a device without great expense or experience. Although the device should be seen for experimental and investigative purposes only and no medical claims are made, anecdotal evidence shows significant improvements in the health of those using the device.
Again from his website: "This machine I have developed, produces effects and results that when when judged against the current health care practices appear somewhat unbelievable. There are presently in excess of 3500 of my devices in use worldwide. Although the preceeding statements of this web page may seem to be gross exaggeration, in reality the statements are severe understatements. For more specifics, join the rife-list. A couple of hundred owners of devices are presently on the rife-list which can be reached from the link to Horizon Technologies found on the links page."
"One should not limit their thinking to merely health care. The device offers potential in insect control ( certain frequencies are very irritating to insects and they will leave the area). Reports have been recieved of the device killing roaches, mites, and other insect pests.The device may make possible non toxic control of various vermin, rodents, and agricultural diseases."
Regarding cancer, the RifeBare FAQ (link below) says: "The first RifeBare was built for Batyah who had cancer in six places in her body. When the device was used, some tumors shrunk, her energy levels improved and pain levels diminished. When the cancer frequencies were stopped for three months, the cancer tumors returned along with intense pain. Others deemed terminal with cancer have used the RifeBare report similar results. Most died from other complications like Pneumonia or pancreatic breakdown. All these volunteers were in final stages of the disease. Many lived far longer than anyone expected. Many are still alive.
Rife Technology will not cure cancer. Neither will surgery, radiation, chemo or drugs . Cancer is the "effect" of something else. Cancer is not its own cause. RifeBare Technology is not a magic wand although it certainly improves the quality of a person's life. In the case of cancer, it provides a "window of opportunity" for the person to make the necessary changes to diet and lifestyle which bring about good health. Dr Rife stated that everyone has cancer cells. Those with unbalanced systems cannot contain the cancer growth."
I believe this to be one of - if not - the most significant rediscoveries made in recent years, and I hope you derive great benefit from James Bare's device and his work. I can guarantee you inspiring and truly educating reading lies ahead, but approach it with an open mind and the necessary 'distance'.
