2010 World Cup to be filmed in 3D

Category
For the first time, the World Cup in 2010 will be filmed in 3D.

Personally I'm taking the real 3D, First Life, Authentic Surround Sound package.  Earlier this week I booked my London to South Africa flight and will be there for a whole month.  Friends have already said they're coming over from England for the month to house sit and Jessie sit, and honestly I think they wish the World Cup was happening already, my dog has way too many admirers.  

Now one of the things people may not know, is that one third of my travelling party is none other than Chris Miller so we were thinking, here you have two really knowledgeable people on all things Sametime in South Africa at the same time (no pun intended), are there any South African companies reading that would be interested in attending some Sametime 8.5 training?   We're also willing to consult in return for accommodation in the Durban-Johannesburg corridor.

If you are in South Africa and you believe there might be demand for such training, please let either of us know.

We still haven't found accommodation for the World Cup yet, but we are busily looking into it.  It's hard to tell if some of the things are ran by a guy from Nigeria (who is apparently still holding a few million of mine) or legitimate.  So if you can also recommend trusted accommodation services that would also be greatly appreciated.

Tomorrow is the first really exciting stage of the World Cup though, the 32 final times are known, and tomorrow the draw happens, when we'll discover which teams we'll be watching, and who will play who.  For anyone that is interested, we'll be at the following games:
Match 24
Match 29
Match 35
Match 39
Match 43
Match 45
Match 52
Match 58
Match 63

I'm still working connections, and favours to try and figure out some way to get tickets to the final game.

I'd like to chat with you about IBM Sametime offline if you have a bit of time. Specifically I am interested in TCSPI and how to receive asynchronous requests from 3rd party telephony. Please email me so that we can chat if you have some free time.
Thanks,
Vishay

Gravatar Image4 - Hi Carl,

I am a domino developer living in South Africa, No need for sametime training, but I can recommend WhereToStay dot co dot za { Link } as a good reliable source for accommodation in South Africa.

Cheers.

Gravatar Image5 - Thanks Bliksim, you're the second person to recommend that. Greatly appreciated.

Gravatar Image6 - Bummer!

No England matches for you in the first in the first round.

Or is there a marketplace for people that want to trade tickets?

Gravatar Image7 - Yeah no England in the first round, potentially I could get to see them in Match 58, if they win the group, and win their knockout game after that.
