Blog hiatus

Sorry guys, if it isn’t already aparent, my blog is on hiatus. I just don’t have the time/energy to post on it right now. I really love to blog, but it’s just a side project which i do for networking/fun.

I’m sure you’ll all be glad to know that i’ve got some new websites running, which are going nothing less than perfectly. I’m in the process of setting up a company/network site, although i want to think of a name that I will want to keep forever. Many people emailed me about twoslice.com, however i just wasn’t happy with that one. We are currently hiring developers, if you are highly skilled with PHP, MYSQL, XHTML and CSS (photoshop skills are a bonus) and are looking for work, please contact me @ buckleyjosh [at] gmail [dot] com

Other than that, tomorrow is my last day of school :) My GCSE exams are coming up, which i’m fairly confident about, but it’s not too important to me what i get in them.

I have been on twitter lately, and you can follow me at www.twitter.com/joshbuckley

I think it’s time for an update

So it’s been a month since my last blog post, and even longer since a proper one. So, i bet you’re all wondering what has happened? This is definitely a long overdued blog post, yet life has just been so busy lately, i literally could not find the time to make a quick blog post.

Firstly, i have some new sites that have now brought my income back up. This is a good feeling, knowing how well i can control my own income and make it rise fast. This has been one reason why i haven’t updated my blog, as my sites are taking priority because i don’t see my blog as an earner.

I invested $x,xxx in a site and got a 200% return when the site sold just over a month later. That’s been great, after no work - it still amazes me, the power of investments and something i definitely want to do more in the future…

School has probably also been one thing taking up a lot of my time. I have about 2 months left of compulsory school, in that time i have my GCSE exams so i’ve been needing to revise a lot.

My brother and his girlfriend/soon to be wife are having a baby, congratulations to them :D

On another note, i promised a friend to plug their site :P

Indiestartups  is a great new blog by my friends Jon Wheatley, Dave Myers and Julian Targowski. It covers independant/bootstrap startups. I love the design by julian, and the content covered so far is great, go check it out and subscribe!

What teachers make

If you’ve read this blog for a while now, you’ll realise that i love a good, powerful speach now and then. And, recently i’ve found a gem of a speech! I loved this speech straight away, tyler mali speaks with authority and i went on to watch some of his other (not so good, but still great) work. Speaking with this authority is a skill which I would love to develop…. (one day)

blog problems

sorry about the recent problems with the blog. For almost 2 weeks, the commenter file has been corrupt, without me knowing.. thanks for everybody who recently let me know about it, i had a great birthday thanks :)

Also, the theme needs re-uploading. No idea how i deleted that, but let’s just say i’m still getting used to coda on the mac..

 edit: all fixed now :)

Big 16

If you hadn’t guessed by the title, today is my sixteenth birthday :D This means i have only a few years to ‘make it’ young. Ideally, making my first millions before, say 20, if not earlier. I have the plans out, let’s hope they follow through :D

So, in an hour i’ll be meeting up with friends and having a fun day today :)
