In a hotel room
Well, here I am in my hotel room in London, unable to sleep and waiting for tomorrow! I have watched TV, but there is nothing on, the movies are not that exciting and ather steep - for a few pennies extra you can get 24 hours porn!… so thought I might just do a spot of work instead. Yay.
Frustratingly I am about 20 meters inside the congestion zone in London which will add a few quid! Mind you I guess this is a negotiable charge compared to the parking and minibar… which is not even cold. I myself am a little cold, having just realised that instead of having the heating on full blast its the air-con I have been tunring up.
No idea what to expect tomorrow, looks promosing though, hotel is busy. I have plenty of business cards!
Busy week (ad:tech)
Its going to be an incredibly busy day tomorrow, and an even more intense week. Just making some final preparations for an exhibition WDP are sponsors of. Ad:Tech London is one of the biggest interactive marketing events, if not the biggest.
Naturally we hope to find some large partners at such an event. But personally I am looking forward to mingling with the many people from similar industries. Everything I do and am involved in is very focused on internet marketing. Obviously its in my interest to get connected with as many individuals in this field who can be of present, or future use.
Some of the exhibitions I have been to have been very disappointing, but with the size and quality of this I am expecting it to be very worthwhile….. Time will tell.
I also spent Friday talking with a very well connected individual in the Adult industry. Very positive ideas about working with WDP, particularly in the USA. I am sure we will soon come to an agreement, but regardless of this, the very exciting thing is that there is huge interest across the pond in what we do. We already have strong, long-running partnerships out there. It’s inevitable that soon we will have a bigger market share, hopefully as a result of this I will get to fly out more often!
Time to go, got some notes to make and suffering from a headache. Caffeine is either the solution or the reason.
Crack anyone?

Back on the Case
After a weekend of debauchery on a certain Mr Bens stag do its taken me a few days to wind back up to full operational speed. But here I am the third night in a row up at nearly 3am, planning on how to take over the world.
I do not have weapons of mass destruction, I do not have the money to hire an army, in fact I have no weapons at all. So my first and most direct plan is on hold. But my second will soon be well on the way…..
Networking is very important and I have now been fortunate enough to meet a few useful individuals recently, some might be kind enough to help me. Not by way of supplying mercenaries. But perhaps to help with some of my on-line (ad)ventures.
Failing that, I’ll just go back to selling crack.
England 3 - 0 Russia
Back of the net!
Nothing exciting to celebrate, but 2 “good” games for England after being shite does make you feel good! So I am enjoying a bottle of Peroni in celebration of this massive achievement for the nation!
I am exploring the delights of Facebook at the moment. It has to be said that regardless of the courtroom action against them, and the massive costs in setting it up, it is a very impressive social networking tool. Already I have met up with a couple of old friends from my long gone school days. I am now trialling it as a tool for networking with affiliates and potential business partners.
If anyone wishes to add me to facebook then I don’t mind saying “hi”. But please tell me who you are in your request. Add me
Currently I am making some final specification changes to a user generated “adult” content site. Sorting out my accounts. Looking at houses. Scratching my arse. But as it is late, I must go and return to these tasks tomorrow.
Where have I been?

Things I haven’t done:
- Launched any new sites
- Finished the set up of company for handling my off-shore property investment
- Shaved this morning
Things I intend to be doing:
- Finalising project X, who will develop it, who will design it, launch date and getting few potential partners/clients + members interested
- Massive World Dating Partners promotion - got many new portals, partnerships, improvements and new features coming together right now strengthening our position as Market Leaders and accelerating our growth.
- Shave
An amazing post
It is late, approximately midnight.
(sorry, turns out this post was crap not amazing)
Small bouncing Tits
I did promise some updates over the weekend. So I have made 1 - The company turn over one the graphs page has been updated. Its not completely accurate as I’ve not yet gone through full sales figures, but it does include main sites, and consultancy work.
Hopefully can keep the trend going up - which is a little more difficult now as 1) have less time on my ventures… and 2) the scale on the graph has changed to reflect higher figures, so I need a bigger increases for it to be pleasing to the eye.
Still I am confident it can and will be done! Especially with all the stupid ideas I always have!
Time for a bit more number crunching now I think, don’t enjoy it but need to get it out of the way.
On a completely separate note - I love bouncing tits.
Update pending…
This weekend I will update this site a little. All the graphs and shares information is completely out of date! Don’t get too excited as I doubt it will be that compelling! I have also been asked to add a average daily earnings, or something similar. I am not sure how comfortable I am with announcing this level of detail, and it can be difficult to calculate as I have various sources of income and expenditure.
However, I shall have a little think and see what I can do!
I also need to do this to get my accounts completely in order, to guage how close I am to the million, and to decide when to get my new car! If I set myself some (easy) targets I can justify it to myself!
On many of the other forums I frequent, I am very good at telling other people to post regularly. And I do on a lot of other sites, but I am very poor at keeping on top of my own personal bits. Hopefully with the back log cleared I’ll be a little more driven and efficient.
Finally - It is still Wednesday, which I have now been told are to be naked Wednesdays. I don’t know why, but I shall disrobe to find out what the fuss is about.
On the off chance that some developers are reading this - does anyone have any experience with cubecart? I need a programmer to take over a project which is built on this open source ecommerce platform.
I am sick of my car
Got up nice and early this morning as had a meeting to attend… only had a few hours sleep so wasn’t too cheery in the morning anyway. However I set off and was thinking to myself whether or not I should get a brand spanking new car. I had just about decided that it was wise to run current beast for as long as possible.
Shortly after that decision I approached a roundabout, tried to squeeze through a gap in queuing traffic into the middle lane but gave up as I ran out of space and was rather close to the back corner of the lorry in front. As the lights changed the lorry rolled back and did a nice job of smashing my passenger window and mangling the door frame.
I returned home, didn’t attend the meeting, and spent a while hoovering up glass and getting angry. The glass has gone, replaced with some nice bills to pay.
I will be replacing that car, or at least getting another.
