This week has been “packed” compared to the already overwhelming past couple of months, but at least the week is nearing its end.
Although I will still be working through yet another weekend, it will be “at my leisure” for once. I will only be working briefly on two web design projects and on ShrinkTheWeb (integrating [...]
It seems so far away, but I am hoping that July proves to be a calmer month than these last few. Even though it seems afar off, I know it will be here and gone before I know it. Things seem to keep getting tougher and tougher while the future keeps simultaneously looking brighter and [...]
It’s 6am and I’ve been working since noon yesterday.
At least I’ve completed budgeting for April, finished up a website that’ll help catch me up on my bills this week, sent out the ShrinkTheWeb newsletter, and released the ShrinkTheWeb feature for capturing specific page thumbnails. This is HUGE in the webmaster world and it [...]
I’ve completed another customer web design, attended a business expo and made numerous contacts for a client, updated lots of features and code for ShrinkTheWeb (STW), launched the STW Logo Design Contest, budgeted the STW expansion and “Go Live” path, and calculated STW’s path-to-profitability through 2008.
So now, I’m just juggling a few web design projects [...]
Sorry for just another quick update and little substance, but I had to at least take a moment to post that I got my first round of funding for my “Shrink The Web” project. So, I’m really excited -to say the least!
Now, I can buy that nice skateboard I always wanted! lol. j/k
Anyway, here’s a [...]
I’ve been missing in action for awhile now (over a week, I think), but it’s because I’ve finally been making some progress and working long, crazy hours (18 hours per day).
I have quite a bit of news to share but some of it I cannot yet disclose due to non-disclosure reasons. As far as my [...]
Before I dive into boring work-related updates, I should mention that Leah has finally gotten me to get out and take walks. She’s been trying for more than a month but I was kinda down in the dumps. Now, I’m feeling a little better and a bit less stressed -though my situation has only marginally [...]
This is work-related so I will post the details on my work-related blog (visit SE Conspiracy - Warning: Reverse DNS Can KILL Your Business!).
In short, many of my web hosting customers (and my own sites) have been getting tagged as spam and it has cost me thousands of dollars (literally) in lost income and -more [...]
Last night, Leah and I went out with Terry and Mark for dinner at Taurus restaurant. It was a great night and lots of fun. We were seated in the VIP area and I finally had my filet mignon craving satisfied for a little while!
I haven’t been able to really work much the [...]
Making a living online (and working from home) has its obvious benefits, but this market has become so full of spammers, scammers, and hackers (oh my) that it really has gone downhill.
Deadbeat companies and all of the aforementioned undesirables make it impossible for the average “joe” to make money online. Even astute people have [...]
