Reliability
So I’ve got a Volvo sat in the drive with 2 flat tyres…. Why the hell have I still got that heap!?
I was doing some serious mileage in the past so opted for a “sensible”, quite fast but RELIABLE car to get me from A to B. Over the past 12 months this is just how reliable it has been….
4 x punctures
1 x blow out at speed
1 x new engine
1 x new radiator
2 x cam belts
2 x full services
1 x faulty throttle housing connector
other intermittent engine management problems - still unknown source
2 x road side recovery
9 x Points on my license
Over £500 in fines.
I am most definitely not impressed. At this rate it would have been sensible to get an extremely non-sensible car, it would have cost me less maintenance and probably got me less fines. The only thing stopping me upgrading to something ridiculous now is the fear of losing my license…
A shit post
Yes. Yet again I’ve been rather quiet!
Why?
I’ve been tied up, quite literally. Bound and gagged and thrown in a dark room.
But, I’ve managed to free myself so that I can once again begin to post what can only be described as diarrhea. Frequent and loose poo posts!
REAL UPDATE
Things are finally coming together; the past 3 months have been extremely busy. Getting myself back in order has been rather time consuming as even now there are a lot of loose ends (not intended as a diarrhea reference) from leaving World Dating Partners to resolve.
I’ve also been heading up a couple of projects getting ready for the launch of several test sites.
Finally I’ve been forging some partnerships with companies that can provide me with 3rd party or white label solutions which can add new revenue streams to the traffic we already have. I am still surprised at the number of companies that seem to be happy with selling just one thing to their members, when they could very quickly make more money with a few related products.
The focus for the final part of this year is increasing marketing on existing sites, we’ve done the testing and number crunching we needed and everything looks in order. We are also testing some mobile and web cam services and very soon in 2009 we will be launching our own video streaming and content sharing/distribution sites. Everything will have an affiliate system attached to it allowing others to profit from the sites we develop, and clearly this is a big part of our own business model.
So my friends, I am back, my life is in order, business looks good, and I shall be regularly upsetting you all with my “shit” blogging!
