Life Update
I’ve posted a lot recently about projects I’m working on, or have recently launched. But I haven’t said that much about what’s going on generally.
So, I thought I’d give you a quick update….
Last Weekend…
… I went to stay with my cousin Heather. We went round to their neighbours to watch the rugby on Friday night, [...]
NewMusicalOrder.org - Free + Legal Music
Myself and Mosh, a friend of mine from Scotland, have just started a new blog promoting all the free and legal music downloads you can find on the web.
There are so many, in so many different genres! It’s amazing record labels can sell anything!
Anyway, NewMusicalOrder.org is the URL, and our aim is simply to find [...]
NicheSociety.com - my first acquisition!
For years I’ve been creating websites for my own use, for clients, and for Musoswire, but I’d never looked into buying and/or selling websites professionally.
All that changed this month with the purchase of NicheSociety.com - a social website promotion tool akin to Digg.com. From the site…
nichesociety, originally named menéame in Social Niche, is a web [...]
Introducing Jive.to! - short URLs for musicians
Jive.to is the first of a new batch of goDHN projects to be launched.
It’s basically a very simple short URL service. You supply a long URL you need shortening (perhaps the YouTube link for your latest video, or a synth review on a shopping site), and Jive.to will give you a shorter URL to give [...]
Blog Roll Purge
I’ve been struggling a bit mentally lately, and so I’ve been thinking of ways to ease my distractions.
One thing I have noticed is that some of the many blog posts I read have a very pessimistic tone. Particularly the ones reporting on “the death of the music industry”.
So, I’ve had a purge. Cleared out the [...]
Why aren’t my sites more important?
I’ve just been playing around with this blog and noticed that I’d got the Client Sites above My Sites in the right hand sidebar.
I was wondering why my sites should be less important than the ones I do for clients? I couldn’t think of a good reason, so I’ve swapped them over. My Sites is [...]
Wordpress updated (and a new theme!)
So this is the final blog to get upgraded to Wordpress 2.5. Once again, it’s gone as well as can be expected. It’s quite impressive how Wordpress upgrades work. Or maybe it’s PHP? I dunno, it’s nice when things work though.
You’ll notice I’ve also changed the theme AGAIN. The previous one started really annoying me, [...]
DNS will be the death of me
Well, I hope not, obviously… I hope it’s ravenous sex with a beautiful woman when I’m about 70, but you get the idea.
I’ve just spent the last god knows how long trying to sort out the nameservers for my new dedicated server. See, it worked… but not a lot.
I’d got the server working, and some [...]
Time Management Required
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately wondering how to make better use of my time.
I’m definitely what you would call a “night owl” - I can do early mornings, but I work much better after supper - usually between 8pm and 12-1am. But how am I using those hours, and more importantly, can [...]
Broken Blogroll - now fixed
Just a quick post to apologise for the downtime on the Blogroll page. Apparently Google have changed the way the Javascript stuff works, and the version I had no longer worked. Shame they didn’t let me know!
Anyway, you’ll have noticed a couple of new tabs at the top of the blog - I’ll get these [...]
