Drop shipping!

Drop shipping! I have just brought a site for about £120.00 that sells DVD’s via drop shipping on Ebay. Not just on Ebay, but anywhere you put them. The site is so cheap it’s better than anything I’ve ever come across. I use my tinwellbooks web site hosted by 1&1 and I thought they did a bargain, but these guys must be making a loss? Either that, or they turn out so many of these they are not greedy? Now the nail biting, as I wait to see if this site actually turns up. The books did so well on... Sign in to see full entry.

Holiday!

As the great Madonna once said: "it’s a time to celebrate!" Well I now find myself with a weeks holiday. Not enough money to go anywhere or do anything, but I have more than enough work on my hands with web design and programming. "> Of course I have a guilty conscience because I can’t apply myself to any of these things on a Monday morning. Maybe I’m trying too hard and wanting to bleed blood from a stone too soon. After all, I usually try and do these things in the snatched hours before work.... Sign in to see full entry.

Paid to Blog!

Paid to Blog! Once again I’ve been drawn into finding a lazy way of making money. Just sitting here, writing any nonsense that comes into my head and avoiding a real job. I work in a supermarket, and have to stay there until my bankruptcy clears up in a few months time. My only real hope of making any real money is Web design. But when I think about the hard work that goes into designing on-line shops and rigging up drop-shipping, I’m drawn back to writing. Writing is my first love and I’ve... Sign in to see full entry.

Nasty People!

Nasty People! Should we lash out at people we don’t like? Should we seek revenge at people who have slighted us or shown us no respect? For most people they might give the Christian view on a public face, but of course secretly they want their heads on a pike. Last night we worked the late shift in the Supermarket, which overlaps with the night staff. Maybe some of these people are chosen because they have mental health problems? But many should never be released into society. Your first... Sign in to see full entry.

PHP Day off!

I’ve been taking a few days off from web design. Mostly on the back of the fact that the PC has been down for a few days and I’ve had to reinstall everything. But also I want to take a step back and look at the web site for what I really want from it. The whole idea is to make a web store with a shopping cart, all shop-shipped and in PHP with MYSQL. No small task, but I’ve learnt so much about it all in the last few weeks I feel confident I can do it. Of course I have brought in a lot of... Sign in to see full entry.

Reaload!

Have you ever had one of those days when the whole bottom drops out of your world? When your whole computer system just crashes and you realise that you have to reinstall everything? Well it happened to me again the other day. I say: again, because this isn’t the first time my computers have crashed, leaving me in a world of shit! Because I want to get into the world of web page design, I now realise that I need the professional version of XP, as this hold many a key to databases. Fine so far.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Struggle goes on!

The Struggle goes on! Well Tinwellbooks.co.uk is coming along. It’s an add-on shopping cart for Dreamweaver, which came free with.net magazine. I spent £38 on a shopping cart package which is not a patch on it, and will put the damn disc up for sale back on Ebay where it came from. It is in ASP which I don’t understand, but the whole thing works so wonderfully I can’t turn it down. Once I get some free time from work, I want to explore PHP and MYSQL some more. The are some great shopping carts... Sign in to see full entry.

Church?

Church? With the news that an old Methodist temple is to reopen in Lancashire (UK) I was interested to hear the reason why it’s caused such a fuss! It is to reopen as a Mosque. The Christians had given up on the place (and the religion) more than 50 years before. Even the Priest said, no one came any more, and even when they attend the few churches that do stay open, it’s only for Christenings and weddings. But because some Asians are to take it over, the locals are up in arms. Would it have... Sign in to see full entry.

Cold Cold Fusion! Funny old world. I’ve been banging my head against the brick wall that we know as Dreamweaver for about 6 months now. Of course if I had all the time in the world to sit and read through the books I’d be Ok, but I haven’t. Some time ago, when I signed up with my Hosting company (1and 1) they sent me some free software. One of the applications was a thing called Net objects Fusion. It was sort of poor man’s FrontPage, and not in the big boys league of Dreamweaver. As sign... Sign in to see full entry.

Break on through to the other Side!

A great man once said, in a song by the Doors, that he would break on through to the other side. What Jim was talking about, was breaking through to another realm of consciousness. Of course he was bombed out of his mind on drugs, but what I want to talk about is breaking through in a sense of personal triumph. I am struggling with a web site walled Tinwell Books. It’s a site I’ve owned for years and it has gone through many changes. No longer does it sell books. For a while it tried to sell my... Sign in to see full entry.
