Steady work.

Take a look at this page on u-tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltnzccuqe-4 It seems harmless enough, and it's just a silly test. But this is the way I want to present my work. Until I can get more moving video in place, I think these slide shows are the best way of doing it. I've seen some wonderful video presentations. Unasleep: http://www.youtube.com/user/Unasleep is the best I've ever found. So to do work of this quality requires hard work. As yet I know so little about the art I've a lot...

Wireless!

I'm writing this page on the same desk as usual but without the yellow ethernet cable plugged in. I've tried wireless in the past but the damn computer always wants to revert back to the old way and doesn't want to know me. To be truthful the only advantage is that I can watch old episodes of Dr Who whilst sitting up in bed. So you might ask why go to all that trouble just for something as silly as that? I think we live in such a changing world, I fear being left behind. I hate mobile phones and... Sign in to see full entry.

Web site design.

I have several sites all hosted by a company called 1&1. Now they are very good. So good in fact that you hardly need design the damn sites yourself, just use their services and put your pages up. But the problem I have, is that I want to build a site that gets so much traffic, I can sell the whole thing on Sitepoint for a lump sum. That way i can cut out so many middle-men that I can just go from one to another. The problem arises that once someone wants to buy the thing, you might have to sell... Sign in to see full entry.

What's been happening?

Well, I've been abducted by aliens but managed to escape..... No. You guested it, I still work at the supermarket and have no money. But which version would you prefer? Some good news, I've made good progress with web design. The basic HTML is not good enough to make a site which will earn money. But throw in PHP and MYSQL and you have a serious contender. All social networking sites require some sort of database to make a go of it. So once you get a bit of traffic flowing through it, you are... Sign in to see full entry.

Sorry!

Sorry to anyone who looks at this page regularly and wonders what the idiot is doing! I've been very lazy in turn out, and I feel guilty about not contributing. There's been plenty happening to me over the past few weeks. The Web design thing is going well, and I'm getting back up to speed with PHP and MYSql. These things have always defeated me and using Dreamweaver is like wheedling a double handed claymore. I enjoy it, and feel confident that there is money in it. The things I've tried in the...

Trouble at Mill

I caught Sarah in tears today, and I think it's all linked in with the changes at work. At first I thought it was because of till training, but I saw her wearing a cap from the Cafe, so she is damned just as badly. Personally I think it's someone getting revenge on Browny himself, and taking it out on her. I know I said I would not put gossip about work online, but this has upset me so much it's preying on my mind. I dare not mention too many names as this site has a high ranking and the people...

Another day.

Well it's the day of the presentations for the silly qualifications, and guess what? The manager changed the hours to suit him and messed it up for everyone else. I even had to point out that I had asked him to include my Flu jab in it, and he even messed that up. So what can you do? I'll be OK but I'm buggered if I will get involved in something the bloody manager could not even take an interest in. Web site going well. Back up to speed with the publishing side of it, which was always a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Gamble?

If you were wondering how the gambling is going, well here's an interesting story. On Thursday I won 6 quid. Bringing my grand total to 14.00 the most I've ever had on the racing account. Saturday I just broke even, with about 0.40 profit. Today I gambled about 7 pounds and I'm 4 pounds down. The account stands at 10.00. Where it was on Thursday! But my point is, that if I had taken the advice of the tipsters website: http://www.online-betting-guide.co.uk/horse_racing.php and backed all the... Sign in to see full entry.

Yet another Weekend

I find it a struggle to fill these pages nowadays. It's just work and sleep with a lot of bright ideas in between and little else. Not the sort of thing you want to be writing if you want anyone to read this page, but you might as well be honest. The horses are running OK, but after a few loses I wonder if I'm ready to plug a lot of money in it? I wish I could trust to be instincts more when it comes to putting my back behind it. But it's the only game in town and I would make a small profit. A... Sign in to see full entry.

The Gamble so far

So far I'm 0.50 up on the deal. I gambled a pound and I'm now fifty pence better off. I'd convert it to Dollars but it's hardly worth it. I'm tempted to move the decimal place a few times, which would make me 50 pounds better off, nearly 2 days pay for me, but I have to test the system for another few weeks before putting any serious money up. The flat season comes to an end soon, but the weather has been so terrible, and the Autumn is usually dryer and more predictable. This guy Alex Gorrie... Sign in to see full entry.
