Just my view on the world :)
Me!!!
Wow what a eventful month!
Jul 30th
This month has been really busy for me. With a unfortunate and worrying illness in the family and even more progress with my business.
I have a business advisor and been to many seminars back in London about starting up and I have a real roadmap for these 3 weeks. To finish market research, finalise my business plan and submit to banks. The main priorities after then will be structuring and sorting the premises with the council. The website really needs tweaking because it wasn’t really structured to handle a store online and offline! In reality it was created before any plans were firm and this was a mistake. One that won’t be made again. I’m drawing up a website plan too.
Work has become somewhat ridiculous but I will speak about that when I become detached from that company (then I can’t be fired)
Must get to sleep now… got work tomorrow again. Not long left till I leave Oxford for a bit.
Btw, If you live, study or work in Oxford please fill out this quick questionnaire for me. It will help me with my market research and you will be entitled to a money off voucher when we launch.
Peace!
Me & The MonkeyPC
Jul 11th
I can’t think of what to write about really. I will be blogging about The MonkeyPC later on in this week or month. I have lot of exciting things planned regarding that and have had some feedback which has come in handy.
I’m still working hard at Sainsburys in Oxford. I only have a few weeks left until I leave.
Other then that not much has changed personally. However, on the business side things are almost ready. The draft business plan is complete. The financials are a little weak and need a second going over.
There is still a lot to do but progress is coming on.
Lovin’ the weather hope it stays sunny.. stay tuned for more updates
Doing lots of work hours

Everything goooood!
May 7th
Not really said much about myself lately but everything is going good. Been real busy with work (Sainsbury’s) and some web projects. Speaking of web projects work has been underway at Ferrari Fans! Project Italia has been coming along nicely with a new design
It’s only a concept at the moment. Feel free to give your thoughts and opinions. Suggestions are warmly welcomed and will be taken on board.
Notice how we are moving more to a “content” based homepage. We aim to have a few surprises thrown in too
We have pretty much chosen to ditch vBulletin now. vBulletin 4 has been a major disappointment. In my opinion keeping vBulletin 4 so secretive was the first downfall then releasing something half baked after committing so many people who relied on it was a big mistake. Therefore all the staff have agreed within the community to move back to MyBB forum software. We need a reliable open solution and we believe MyBB is the right solution. As some of you may remember we ran MyBB back in 2008 so it’s more like coming home.
The content side will be run on Joomla a strong well known CMS. We want people to suggest what can be improved. We are in this community together. One improvement will benefit us all. If you can think of something you can reply on the blog or post a topic here.
Moving back to myself and home. I’m doing good. Currently watching the UK election updates.
I missed my opportunity to vote. Let’s hope the right people get into power
Feeling more positive
Jan 26th
Truth is I have become disillusioned with my degree. I’m not going to pin this down on certain difficult lecturers but rather myself. I chose a motorsport degree because I done a bit of karting and loved watching it on tv.
However I’ve lost interest and feel like I should be chasing something else… I probably should have seen this coming ages ago. I look a what I know I can do and seem to have a passion for and I see the web, servers, databases, COMPUTING! Maybe I’m just having a phase.

(Maybe I should focus on a career in the IT/technology field)
I know how to work with php to some extent (I got a lot more to learn and I’m working on it) I can work with MSSQL and MYSQL. I feel like I should something related to what I can do. There is a lot to this but I been feeling down over my university choices.
In other news… I’m still focusing my efforts on getting Ferrari Fans on top. At the moment I am in talks with some designers over a new theme. I hope that buy July 2010 we will have something revolutionary online. Something more then what we have now which is effectively just a forum.
It’s also great to see Michael Schumacher in F1 overalls in the vicinity of a F1 car again! Welcome back Michael and Fernando Alonso has given his first interview as a Ferrari F1 driver.
At the time of writing this I was listening to: Wyclef Jean feat Mary J Blige – 911
Till next time… love ya all
Talented? What? Lazy Yes!
Jan 11th
Am I talented? Well, I don’t look upon myself as such. Am I lazy? I would have to say yes to that!
Today I got told I was a very talented person but frustratingly lazy to work with. I agree to the second part and have constantly tried to improve and become less of a lazy bum. I’ve made it my near years resolution but I constantly find motivation hard.
Lazyness is often used in a joke reference to someone who spends a day or two on the sofa.. but for me I think it’s actually starting to hold me back!
Any chance someone can gimme some tips on how to improve on productivity? I’m not too lazy to search for myself so don’t think that

Brookes Bus morning woes!
Nov 23rd
I really wish Oxford Bus Company made the morning bus service only for brookes students… they end up like school buses in the morning with annoying school children. I must get a earlier or later bus I think because that horrible old bus is in service at that time it only comes out when it’s busy.
Can’t wait for xmas to come though…. need a breakkkkkk!
