This is my blog... I am doing it so that I can track my own progress against where I think I should be.

Too much golf, and it'll all slip.

Day 46

Submitted by Nick on 25 January, 2009 - 17:41.

Today, I am thinking about what to do for a competition.

When I used to work as a team manager, I used to do lots of competitions. I found it was good for team morale to get everyone thinking about the same thing, and I would always give a prize.

- Search Engine Optimisation

I am adding tags to all the content in an effort to be found by search engines.

I added it to my google chrome bookmarks bar - but I expect you already knew that... (its Ben Shave btw) - is this a ruby on rails app by any chance?

Day 26

Submitted by Nick on 5 January, 2009 - 17:32.

Not a gr8 start to the year: Day 1 burgled, Day 2 flooded !

The last few days have been a right-off as I've spent most of the time trying to track down our stolen goods on the internet and visiting pawn shops. Sadly, no luck.

Today I am working on a system for tracking collectibles and mailing a few websites who may be interested in adding links or running articles.

Day 22

Submitted by Nick on 1 January, 2009 - 10:57.

Update1:
New Year's day !

HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody.

This is the year that will decide whether I can make a business out of ExcelExperts.com or not. At the end of this year, I will look back on what has been done, and make the decision to continue or go back to corporate life.

Wish me luck

Nick

Update2:
Start the year by being burgled, but on the positive side, HousePriceCrash.co.uk have added a link to my Buy Or Rent calculator which is exciting.
http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/resources-calculators.php
The house price crash is hot news in the UK, so hopefully this will create some more interest in ExcelExperts.com
