24

0 Comments 31 March 2009

24 is the best program on TV ever! Yeap, full stop nothing is better than 24. Even when it’s a crap episode (like last night) it’s only crap when you compare to the other 24’s and still streets ahead of other programs. If you never watched 24, what planet are you on? Get out and buy the box sets from the very first series and bring yourself up to date.

Another Twit on Twitter

0 Comments 27 March 2009

Finally I see the point to Twitter. I have held 2 “personal” accounts and my main business accounts for some time now (could even be 2 years now), but only ever used Twitter for Paid On Results and even then it’s really only been to inform people of New Merchants that join. However after finally getting an iPhone, I decided to give Twitter a try. Basically so far it seems that your just thinking out loud, you know mostly talking crap to other people who like to read about the crap you will talk .. But it’s strangely fun, it’s kind of like being part of a conversation that can be brief or go on and on but you only take part when you want to and I guess it’s a bit like listening in and being allowed to give your view when you want to in some cases people you hardly even know.

So far I have started off with friends from Affiliate Marketing that I have managed to find and already some people have found me, but so far not a single one of my family or friends seem to use or even know what Twitter is.

Micro blogging for micro brains LOL

Anyway here is hoping my Twitter is not just a work talking shop because if that’s all it’s going to be then I will probably switch off, however so far so go.

Add me to your Twitter so I can talk crap even more than I do here.

Birthday Wishes

Just like to say thanks to everyone who either posted online or sent me a card. My Facebook profile was flooded with Happy Birthday Messages, and my email software started treating it as spam as so much came in yesterday LOL.

Anyway thanks, I had a lovely day and Leona, Adam and Fraser got me some lovely presents and special thanks to Graeme who sent me the complete Guitar Hero World Tour band set, was so much fun last night. However I will need to practice on the drums, as turns out I am better on the guitar then the drums, who would have known!

Internet, Work

What I did this afternoon! Vodafone Liveguy

0 Comments 18 November 2008

As many of you know I lead a busy life being a director at a few Internet companies, my typical day will start after dropping off my son at school I go in to the office, solving problems, reading blogs, coming up with ideas and working away on various projects with the odd meeting thrown in for good measure.

Getting closer to lunch time when I get an MSN message from Fraser “why are you not out finding the liveguy?” what on earth is he on about, so I ask and sends me a link to his blog post on the Vodafone Liveguy. The day before he was in Edinburgh and Fraser decided he would go look for him after it was clear that very few others had taken the leap from desktop to out and about. So what did I do, went off for lunch and decided I too would track him down, and I did. With Frasers help back at his Affiliate Command Centre he guided me like a Cruise Missile straight to the building the Liveguy had ducked in to, however when he came out of the building I was just up a bit outside Scottish Screen’s Glasgow HQ and missed him by like 10 seconds as someone else who decide to take the afternoon off work got in with the magic phrase.

So we have one Affiliate Marketing winner in Edinburgh, I have let the side down for Glasgow but Newcastle is next, will Kieron strike another blow for people who work but when something interesting Internet wise comes along go running from the office with any excuse just to take part even when they don’t actually want the prize, they just want to win!

Remembrance Day

1 Comment 11 November 2008

Remembrance Day is something that I was taught about in School however the BB and the Cub Scouts really sent the message home, I remember going on parades with the BB on Remembrance Sunday.

Remembrance Day however doesn’t normally fall on a Sunday and the actual day set aside is the 11th of November so we remember the sacrifices by people during wars. This post was written before 11am today and queued on the server to publish on 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and you will find that most business, shops, train stations etc will observe a 2 minutes of silence.

It’s worth remembering that even if you don’t agree with war, the people that go to fight in our name do so to protect our country and only because the politicians we elected tell them to do so, if you don’t like a war do something about the people in power but always support our troops. Pay your respects to the people who have died in our name and let’s not forget that during current wars the men and woman in our armed forces that fight for us.
