Finally accomplished something!

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

I’ve been pretty busy for the last few days working on many different projects, and clients no less, but one thing that I’ve been able to finally accomplish is getting some templates together for the freebie sections on my other domains. As of right now they’re all coded for WordPress, I just need to set them up on the other sites. There will be other platforms available, I just need to work on them.

Some are primarily CSS based while others have some funky graphics that I thought would be rather cool for the web2.0 world that I’m slowly tapping into with my designs. I’m to a point now where I’m itching to play around with CSS3 on some of my templates but there are still browsers who can’t handle it so I guess I’m going to have to wait a while for that one.

I picked up a magazine today that features the top 50 web2.0 based websites on the internet, I think sometime tomorrow I’ll do a write-up of that list so I can get them out there. The bulk of them are pretty heavy with Ajax, something I’m itching to learn over time. I guess this just means I’ll be working harder than I currently am.

Either way it’s a little after 3:30 in the morning and I think it’s time to get some rest. I have some clothes to fold up before I can even get to my pillow but that shouldn’t take me very long at all, thankfully. It’s going to be a big cleaning day for me. I have my to-do list right in front of me in bold black text so I don’t forget about it. Gotta love dry-erase boards, they’re the best thing since pen and paper (for me at least).

Staying above water.

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

For business I like to keep in touch with everything going on. A lot of people who run their own business have a business based credit card just so they can insure that they can get the supplies they need, as they need them. There are many options for business based cards but it’s hard to come across one that will actually give you everything you’re looking for. A big thing for me is cash back credit cards because I do spend a lot on servers, computers and other aspects of the internet and technology related world just so I can make sure that I never have any kind of downtime. I went through a time when I literally had no money for a computer and mine was on the verge of dying, I went on a search to pick up a card that would give me everything I needed and now I’m lucky enough to own an American Express business card where I’m given cash back and points towards the items that I buy most frequently. It’s just good to have things like that around.

Where does it all come from?

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

A few people have asked me how I manage to maintain three blogs and never run out of anything to say. The real trick is that one, I have a creative streak going that never seems to end and two, I use not only my own resources (old entries to work off of, book topics, book ideas, music, etc) but I read other peoples blogs as well. I run a business and technology based blog on acidgloss.net. With all of the hype surrounding new technology these days it’s hard to run out of things to say there. I run my weight-loss blog over on curvy-chick.net, I’m spending every single day working on my diet from portion control to exercise so naturally I’m going to have a constant flow of topics there. Then there’s k.nu, it’s kind of my all-in-one blog. I blog about business, life, dieting, relationships and more.

If you just have one topic in your head then you can flow with it in so many different directions it’s unreal. I’m not the type of person that when something happens my first instict is to blog about it. While it may seem like it, I really don’t sit at my computer all day long, I just type very fast so it’s easy for me to get everything from my head to wordpress without wasting much time at all.

I’m still working on getting blog-ideas.net up and running, Sean has been slacking on programming the administration panel for me but he’s also working on his own stuff at the moment. I can’t interrupt his job just for a project site – you know? But the site is going to have everything from topic ideas to blog templates and even tips and tricks that have brought me to earn over $20,000 from my blog in the last year.

Talk about BORING

Monday, July 16th, 2007

Today was kind of sluggish for me, not sure if it was based on the fact that it’s a Sunday or what, but either way I really didn’t accomplish very much. I did get some work done for a few clients. I also managed to get some posting done for advertisers on other domains. I’m working on rebuilding a few things that I’ve kind of left behind in the past. I setup a few banners for advertisers and that’s basically the bulk of my day.

The one thing I was unable to accomplish – at all – was anything home based. I set out to clean up the kitchen, dining room, bedroom, bathroom and a much needed cleaning of the coffee table in the living room. I didn’t get around to doing any of it which is kind of annoying considering in a few moments Sean and I are going to retire to the living room for a little while and watch a movie. It’s hard to relax when theirs chaos going on around me. I may wind up starting on that clean up after I’m done posting here just so I can go in there and lay down to watch a movie without feeling over whelmed.

Mozilla Thunderbird I keep getting strange spam email to my girl@k.nu account, I may wind up moving things around there or just getting rid of the address in general considering everything is basically redirected to gmail anyway. I don’t even bother to log into websites for email anymore, I’ve got thunderbird housing about 8 email addresses at the moment – god I love this thing. Anything Mozilla touches upon is gold – I swear. I know it seems stupid to put up a screen shot but for those of you not using thunderbird, just the side panel alone can basically show you the perks of the program. Running multiple email addresses under one main login makes life very easy, especially when I’m working with clients on 3 different email addresses depending on where they came from. The cool thing about thunderbird is it’s networking capabilities. I’m running everything off of my external hard drive which can be accessed through my laptop as well, I don’t have to worry about just using one computer for email anymore, the way I used to with Outlook because it never updated the paths properly – fucking useless program!

In any event, I’m going to start on some cleaning and then hopefully get myself to bed.

I’m doing the best I can!

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

I’m still not feeling very well but I’ve managed to catch up on all of the sleep that I’ve lost over the last couple of weeks. I’ve slept over 24 hours in the last two days and while that’s nothing I’m really proud of, I still at least am sleeping off the bacteria that’s infesting my once healthy body at the moment. Based on my inbox I really do have a lot of work to get around to. I’m working on making up a list for tomorrows things-to-do and I’ll hopefully be able to accomplish something on it. At this point it really depends on whether or not I have the ability to get out of bed tomorrow. I really hope I’m able to though, the house needs some cleaning up and I really need to disinfect the sheets in the bedroom so I can slowly start moving this bacteria out of the house before it hurts us all.

In order to avoid getting everyone else in the house sick, I’ve spent more time in the bedroom than any person should, sleeping or not. Sean, unfortunately, is starting to cough a little but I’ve made it a point to stay clear away from Karen because she has to work and I know she has an interview tomorrow as well. The last thing I need is for her to get sick when she’s in the market for a new job, you know?

I took Bella for a walk tonight. The poor thing didn’t get to go last night because of that stupid animal and tonight, I couldn’t take it anymore. Even being a dizzy girl I’m a stubborn one. I stayed on the main strip and made it a point to walk rather quickly. She did her business a few times and then we high-tailed it back to the house with the ‘quickness’, as my sister would say. At least she was able to take care of business and you can tell by her current temperament that she’s pretty darn happy at the moment. She went like six times, but two days of backed up food will do that to you. At least she’s done, that’s all that matters.

I am still behind on email, and more than likely will be for a few days. I know that there are about 3 of the $30 Deals waiting for me, two potential clients from AGn Designs and some advertiser looking into me for another one of my domains. I’ll get back to everyone as soon as I can, I promise.

Relaunch of AGn Designs, went well…

Friday, July 6th, 2007

I’ve relaunched acidgloss.net as a blog to go with my portfolio. I’ve been doing technology and business based product reviews for so long that I kind of wanted to place them somewhere else for a change. I’d been posting on acidgloss.net since January but I never quite got around to working the blog into the rest of the site until recently.

I was up at 10am this morning, not sure why but I felt something kind of pulling me out of bed and maybe it will benefit me. If I can get myself to sleep at midnight, instead of 4 or 5am then I’ll be able to get back on the schedule that I desire to work on. I don’t like working at night anymore, it’s summer – I’m supposed to be outside enjoying life when the sun goes down, not spending countless hours on designing for clients. So my schedule, as of right now, is back to 10am-6pm. I just wonder how long I’ll be able to stick to it!
