Yes, It’s Been A While…!

I know, no posts for over a month, very bad indeed! The reason? Well I didn’t actually do much for most of May and I was on holiday for a week too. Towards the end of May and the start of this month, I’ve got the motivation back though and have cracked on with a couple of projects. Offline, I’m still trying to buy a flat too (that’s only been going on since January!), so here’s a quick round-up of what I’ve been up to:
The RentACoder Project
This has gone a bit wrong unfortunately. I thought I had a good coder and he was good to start with but he kept doing things how he thought they should be, not how I specified. I made a mistake in that after the deadline had passed and it wasn’t complete, I should have cancelled the project and got my money back. Anyway, it’s now in arbitration. I’m sick of the project and just want to get my money out. The coder has until tomorrow to deliver or else forfeit. I hope the later will happen. If I end up having to pay for it, I will try and flip it ASAP to cover the costs and maybe a little profit.
New Project - Facebook Application
I bought a Nintendo Wii about a month ago (highly recommended btw!). Some of the games you can play online but your have to swap “Friend Codes” to do so. Anyway, I went on Facebook certain there would be an application already available to do this. And there were a few, but they were all out of date or had errors. So I set about coding up my own…it was a steep learning curve, but I managed to put something together in just over a week. In the week since I made it live, I’ve got over 100 users already which I’m quite pleased with and the feedback about it has been very positive. Of course, I’m now thinking of ways to monetize it!
Reality TV
For those of you who live in the UK, you probably know that the new series of Big Brother starts this week. I’ve been busy setting up a blog and a news aggregator to take full advantage of this and hopefully make some nice cash.
That’s all really - the Facebook app has been the most pleasing of all this as it was quite a challenge even though it hasn’t made me any money yet!

Good to see you back! Got a link to the facebook app? sounds interesting! And good luck with the Big Bro site!
Glad to see you’re back. I’m very new to internet marketing and yours is one of the first blogs I subscribed to, so good to see that you’re still about.
I’d also be interested in seeing your Facebook app.
Yeah, good to see you back. Sorry to hear about the flat buying problems. I was hoping to buy a house this year but I think that’s gone out the window with our market the way it is!
Good luck with your projects. Downside with a Big Bro site is that you have to pay slight attention to what’s going on with it
Here’s the link for the Faceook app.
@ Chris, thanks for the comment, I know I have a fair few readers from my Feedburner stats, but it’s good to hear from some of you!
@ Sarah, sad as it is, I do quite like Big Brother! And re: house buying, it’s a nightmare. Fortunately I got my mortgage agreed in January before the market went pear shaped!
Seems like a lot of the taking a break from posting has been going around. I too took a break for over a year from regular posting and doing anything with my blog network. Just a hobby really.
I just recently started posting again and hopefully will keep it up with good posts about keep a blog network going amongst other online money making things.
