I haven’t been blogging for the past few days but i’ve been busy. These days i’m working on starting up a business and in an office at least 3 days a week (working on starting up that business). When i’m not there i’m working at the same stuff at home. When i’m not at home or in that office, i’m thinking of working at home or being in that office… you get the idea… working 25/7…
I’ve two more videos to show you from my recent trip to Paris. Only just got around to uploading them today but better late than never. How busy is Disneyland Paris in late July? Check out the video below to find out…
It’s been 4 days since my last blog post. I’ve been busy though. Mainly with college work. It’s a case of a lot done, a lot more to do. You see i’m well aware that my dissertation needs to be complete by the end of the month so i’m trying to see if i can surprise myself and get the bulk of it complete before then…
Today i went up to Dublin hoping to get a few things for Christmas. Didn’t happen. It was uncomfortably busy and this time of year everyone is very business like.
There were also dozens of charity collections scattered all over the place. Small armies of them. Some are genuine and not in your face, others are not so genuine. If i hear about ‘The Hanly Center’ one more time… these guys are what i call undercover charity workers. Just like an unmarked garda car, they blend in and then pounce from close range.
Anyway, this reminded me about charitybypass.com – i must do something more with it and try to keep it alive.
Right now, i’m getting a lot done online…there are several projects i’m working on which are inching closer to completion by the day. I’ll go through them one by one without giving anything away.
This is a ‘job’ type website but with a twist and i really hate calling it a ‘job’ website because that suggests it’s ‘just another’ job site. It’s not. It’s very targetted and it’s not technically about ‘jobs’ either. As far as i know, nothing like this exists at the minute which makes it a really great website which will hopefully attract webmasters and tech enthusiasts like you and i 
This will be a partnership with Enda of iliveontheweb.com.
You can expect this one to come online later this month (end of july).
I should have a 40% stake in this new irish social network. It’s another partnership and earlier today, i went up to Dublin for a meeting about this project with a partner. I specifically went up to discuss this. It’s worth it. Although i’ve got no experience whatsoever in this niche, i can see the potential in it and this is something i’m happy to get involved in.
This project should be up and running in some capacity later this month (july), however we’re probably looking at an August launch date to do it justice.
I’m very excited about this one. It’s not gonna be a spam fest with affiliate links and poker ads all over the place. It’ll be a high quality site with user generated content and an open / honest nature. Again, this one is a partnership.
Not sure about an ETA on this one – probably late August or September.
I’ll also be partnering up on two small video blogs / sites. Nothing revolutionary, but both worth *something*.
Should get them both perfected and live this month (July) at some stage.
This is a clever one. If plans are executed to perfection, this site will become well known throughout the blogosphere. Again it’s a partnership. Launching in early August.
At the minute, that’s all i have planned. 6 new sites. 2 of them will be .ie’s and very strong .ie’s at that.
Between that lot, my ongoing redevelopments on existing sites and BeerChief (which will start to get my attention next week), there is a lot of work to be done. In between it all, i’m *still* doing free logos and doing paid work for clients.
I’ve a few days holidays in London coming up which will act as my ‘summer holiday’ and i’ll *probably* take it easy the last two weeks in july as my girlfriend has holidays. Apart from that though, it’s all systems go and i do of course have my skydive to look forward to which will cap summer 2009 off with bang.
I’m busy, but excited and optimistic about the future. I’ve got so many carrots dangling in front of me that i’ll be chasing them in my sleep as well as in my waking hours!
