30th of April.

30Apr07

Today started out particularly odd. I woke with just enough time to get work. I sat down at my desk right on 08:30 to realise my start time was, in fact 11:45 -not 08:30.
What to do for 3-hours and 15-minutes?
I ended up strolling down to East Tce Continental for a breakfast of Eggs Benedict and [...]

Closing the deal.

29Apr07

Today I placed a bid of $60 for a movie/entertainment blog, on Digital Point. I consider the purchase to be a bargain as the site has a PR2 (PageRank), hundreds of posts and decent traffic.
At this point, my intention would be to promote the site further; build the PR and flip.

Hang-overs: the gift of the devil.

28Apr07

Last night was Kristyn from works farewell as she’s on to bigger, better things. Me, and a few others, that started in the same trainging group are still there -sigh!
Went to the Union on Waymouth Street. Great turn out. Quality people.
Started on the Asahi (my beer of choice), moved on to a Caprioska, then we [...]
