Who is/are behind SiliconBits?

Siliconbits is the work of only one person. Guess Who? Yeah. My name is at the end of this page. I am actually a University of Mauritius Student. Not computer but Social Studies Yr 2. The site has been launched on the 19th of July 2000 and it is the first TRUE Information Technology site in Mauritius. No one backs it (except the Sponsor).


I started running this site overnight and made a pledge to continue doing it as far as i can. The site is already in its 3rd inception. No other updates are to come in a forseable future. However, who knows? Moreover, regular daily updates and additional goodies and news make this site a true treasure trove for everyone ;). Anyone interested to help either financially or by writing is welcomed.

Why Siliconbits?
The aims of this site is pretty simple. 
  1. Provide Mauritians with a clear view of the IT situation in Mauritius.
  2. Give access to independently reviewed PC components
  3. Help Mauritian in their buying decisions
  4. Foster a TRUE IT culture in Mauritius
  5. Provide them with a host of free services (mail, chat, forum, fax, phone)
  6. Promote the idea of a code de conduite for buyers and sellers as well.
  7. Provide a platform for exchanging ideas in the field of IT
  8. Provide resellers with a host of free and chargeable services.
  9. Provide a regularly updated pricelist to anyone desiring it.
10. LAST - Provide me with a regular influx of Pocket money.


I choose the name since it was free :)). Silicon and Bits are the most important things in the IT world. Hardware and Software in their quintessence....

Is it worth doing what you are doing?
If I am doing it then I think that it's worth it... Mind you that it isn't done purely for money...

What are the future plans of SiliconBits?

Siliconbits will contain more added value subjects and improve viewability.


What's the difference between you and other IT Websites?
- I offer a different point of view. Mauritius is a small island and technologies take months to come. Virtual review offer a good way to "review" items in the webmaster's way.
- Moreover, we offer many services for everyone - individual, SME,resellers etc.
- When we do reviews, we do them on items found in Mauritius and which are readily available.
- The site is manned by One person.
- More differences to come.

How much hours per day do you put aside for your site?
About 3 hours daily...

Do you eat?
Yes

Do you have a girl-friend?
That is none of your business. Anyway, if you're a boy asking that question, then you have a serious problem...
