Time waster....
Friday 21st Jan 2005 12.20am
Hello again.
I have decided to post the time at the start of each post as I have noticed that the blogger systems seems to be stamping my posts with one of the USA times. Had a look in the blogger settigns to see if there are any settigns for specifying a time zone but could see nothing. If there is then could someone let me know.
Well, yesterday I was off work and I did not get near my site at all so I am really no further ahead, a day wasted. I feel crap about it as lost time is the one commodity which we cannot regain. I was working funny hours this week including 2 night shifts so my body clock is all over the place and I am wrecked. I did not get up till 1.30pm yesterdy afternoon. I then arsed about for a few hours on the pc and then drove a got some petrol for my car. I also visited my family home and lifted my new Samsung ML-1520 home laser printer. I got it for £50 on the UK site of the PC World Chain. It was cheap at £100 so £49.99 was too good an offer to miss. I got home at around 7.30pm but somehow found an hour or so to watch a soccer match on TV. Tut tut, I know.
Today I worked from 12pm - 10pm and I was home at around 10.40pm. This evening I did some more work on my site. I designed the page that will let software houses and developers add software to the site. There is still some testing to do though before the page is fully working. Even though I have designed the site using PHP and MySQL, I also use the excellent Dreamweaver MX for laying out the pages. Dreamweaver also contains excellent tools for automating connections to databases and can save alot of manual coding, I recommend it if you are serious about web design.
I also changed my holding page at my site and added a link back to this blog. Even though my site has been dormant for a year or so it still gets around 50 surfers a day 'blowing in' So if you have arrived at the blog from my site then welcome and make sure to keep checking this blog for the story of me taking my hopefully money making site to the world!
Well, that's if for tonight, must hit the sheets as I am up at 6am tomorrow morning to start work at 7am. Don't you just wish you where me, not! I finish at 5pm tomorrow so hopefully will get an hour or two on the site before heading out for a few hours to a bash for my cousin and girlfriend who are of to travel Australia for a year. I am trying to wrangle Saturday of in work as I start at 7am and will not be able to enjoy myself tomorrow night if I have to play Cinderella and leave at 12. I have to ask a fellow staff member nicely if she will cover for me so hopefully she will....
Remember.......'You don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going'

Hi RG,
Just visited your blog and site after seeing a link on a newsgroup. Good to see an entrepreneur sharing his startup exepriences with the world at large.
There are many of us out here trying to start a business in our "off-time" too and it can be very difficult. As someone who works for a big discount retailer myself, I can sympathize with your plight. All I can say is keep plodding on and your dreams will come true. Mine are very close to it now.
Lastly, remember what Donald J. Trump says about dreams: "If you're going to dream anyway, dream big".
Good luck! Email me if you like at cajuntechie at gmail.com
