However, as always, what finally emerges on the site does not reflect everything that happens in the background. The team - and the site - is undergoing substantial change, though. The Gadget team finds their day-job lives have changed to such a degree that it has become impossible to devote enough time to keeping the podcast alive. They provided some of the most entertaining moments I experienced, and I am truly sorry that they have found it necessary to move on. To Franco and the team: thanks for the time and effort. I will never forget watching the team smash a cellphone with a hammer in episode 2. Similarly, Cara is leaving the country for a while, and so Just Football Mzansi will have to adapt to the loss. I always felt that she balanced Lucien's serious nature with a lighthearted love for the game. Cara - you'll be missed by both your listeners and myself. JFM has also been quiet while Lucien recuperates from illness, but will be reconstituted and start up again soon. On a more positive note, DiscussIT it spreading its wings - Nombulelo is working with our old friend Haroon Meer of Thinkst, as well as two unnamed organisations to put together a conference, which we hope will change some preconceptions. It's too early to say any more than that - but we hope to out together something that will interest many of you. So - although change is rampant, DiscussIT continues. Those listening to Pubcast will have noted that Stephan Buys has joined the team, and we will soon introduce new members on JFM, and the (still unnamed) replacement to Gadget. I continue to be surrounded by committed and willing people that give their time to help us keep these conversations alive. - Tony   News - Scamto Thu, 02 Sep 2010 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.discussit.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=266&Itemid=65  The security industry caught it's breath recently when Intel announced it's intention to purchase McAfee - a meeting seen as so strange that PCWorld called it an "oil and water kind of purchase." Or is it?  The synergies may not be obvious at first blush - but this acquisition has been made with some forethought. While it will lead to speculation, it is probably a watershed event that will be referred to in the future as the point where everything changed. Although the team often visits McAfee, this was a significant enough event to warrant a discussion with Jayson 'O Reilly News - Podcast Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.discussit.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=265&Itemid=90 Lucien and Cara devote most of the show to the English Premier League, with Lucien nailing his predictions to the mast.

But people are unlikely to imagine a young, grounded black woman fulfilling this role. Audrey Ramaboe does just that, as well as a number of other entrepreneurial activities that she discusses with Nombulelo.   News - Scamto Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.discussit.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=259&Itemid=90 As the season draws closer, Lucien and Cara discuss events, as well as the first episode of the Training Camp in which they look at the history of the Professonal Soccer League News - Just Football Mzansi Thu, 05 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.discussit.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=263&Itemid=65 The old ways of managing malware are being supplemented by whitelisting, managed services, and by the Apple-initiated AppStore model. Robert Eatwell and the lads from McAfee joined Matt, Tony and new Pubcast member Stephan Buys to debate how significant this really is.

She came past the studio to talk on Just Football Mzansi, but Nombulelo kept her in the studio to discuss her own career, and P Management.
