Virtual 2 Reality

Dabbling in creative writing tossed me into a world of cyber imagination and romance as I started writing my cyberpunk romance novel, "Virtual 2 Reality". Discovering my passion for creative writing again gave me an outlet to express all the crazy stuff that happens in my head and it's been therapeutic.

So I'm sharing my book which is still developing but I have put it online on a secure website for constructive criticism and votes.

Princess Reyno Eastwood and Colin Ruth are so attached but they have to overcome a system so ingrained in Reyno's culture before they can be together. All they have is the Jabber Board to communicate but now that Reyno knows her true identity she can embark on an adventure of a lifetime with Colin at her side.

Reyno did not know her true identity until beginning the Mochomet programme where computer programs that work in nanotechnology reverse the damage in the brain to the point where the brain functions at optimum capacity. She began to remember her past clearly. That she was stolen from her mother as a new born into a child trafficking system where she was controlled to do things she cannot remember through the microchip implanted in her brain. 

With these challenges facing them and the forbidding of slaves like Reyno to pursue romance, she is at a risk of relapsing the longer she waits to be united with Colin being stuck in the country she was abducted to.

Microsoft Ignite Tour

I've been seeking to attend IT conventions as part of my quest to keep myself updated and in the loop and the Microsoft Ignite Tour at the Sandton Convention Center was a great way to start.

Various lectures centered on Azure (Microsoft's cloud) were given by experts and planned learning paths were available to select from on an online schedule builder. But we chose to attend sessions of which the titles peaked our interests and still we were not left dissappointed.

One of my favorite presentations was on "Understanding Data through Visualization" that introduced me to PowerBI which is a magnificent tool for data visualization through charts and graphs to present and explore the data.

My absolute favorite was on "Making your Application Intelligent" where the code behind Machine Learning was revealed and explained and we learned about ML.Net where you can experiment with Machine Learning.

The food was abundant and great. It was a well-planned event and I hope to attend more like this as they provide a great learning experience which intensely stimulates the intellect.
