I bought a plane ticket to Bangkok, Thailand today. It is the next stage in my working online, travelling journey. I bought a one-way ticket on Jetstar for AU$388, including all taxes. It is a budget airline where you pay extra for meals and a headset, which I declined. These airlines are common in the [...]

Too many site ideas

15 January 2007

Since I am spending most of my time now on my websites, when I am away from the computer I can’t help thinking of new ideas for websites. Most ideas seem like a good idea at the time, but I usually dismiss them later as being unworkable, would take too much time, unoriginal or non-profitable. [...]

I started secret-scrolls.com in December 2005 to countdown the release of the program What is the secret?. I was impressed with how successful with their viral marketing campaign, so I decided to create a blog around the program. I was getting good traffic to the blog as the countdown got closer.

I am feeling the best I have for a long while. It really helps to be able to get out in the sun and do some exercise. It also helps not having to go off to work every day! I am resisting sleeping in late and have been getting up around 8 am everyday. I [...]

I have just come back from a very relaxing holiday down at the beach. My previous job now seems like a distant memory. Even though my family see me typing away on the computer and they know I make some money from it, I don’t think anyone can understand how it could be a full-time [...]

It is nice just to spend some time away from work and computers, except for the odd 30 minutes in an internet cafe. While lazing on the beach, reading some novels and going for long walks, I have invested $1 in a notebook of the paper variety. It is hard not to come up with [...]
