I’ve been working at getting the new WSDReg site finished over the last few weeks, its mainly sticking it all together, and finishing off left to complete. I’m getting quite excited about it now as once its done, I can expand the company greatly. I’ve already been in contact with several UK based magazines to take out some full-page adverts.

So far I’ve spoken with .NET, Web Designer and Linux User however will be speaking with several others soon. I want WSDReg to expand into the UK market, mainly because most current UK registrars really do rip people off, they have stupidly high prices (2-400% higher than the rrp!) and people buy at these prices!

I also (finally) updated my “About Me” page. Its basically the same as the one on the old site, but just slightly updated to reflect recent events.

I decided not to post a “Look back at April” as I’ve not had time to work on much recently due to college work (and GTA IV coming out!) however I am going to revise my goals for 2008 once I’ve finished college, and will start expanding my portfolio of websites. I’m still confident that by the end of the year, I will own websites taking in $500+ a month.

Anyway….thats it for now. Cya later!

Only a few months left! :O

Ok, today at college we were told we had until next Monday to hand in all outstanding work. No biggie…I’ve got a few bits to do, and am going in on Thursday to get them done.

It then dawned on me. I’ve got less than 6 months until I (hopefully) go to Uni. That sounds like quite a bit….until you look back 6 months and see it was only 6 months ago that I got my iPod Touch! I’m now in “Oh Shit” mode as I also realized that my college have yet to book some tests, and some work that we finished a year ago has STILL not been submitted!

On a plus note, I also found out that I can get a DDD grade, which is 360 UCAS points…the highest you can get! :D IF (and thats a BIG IF) I can get all this work done this week, and the 3 units this term all to Distinctions (which is easy, just time consuming), then I’ll end up being granted £2,500 towards Uni fees as a Scholarship! Me like that! Me like that veeery much! (*Cough* MacBookPro *Cough*). But seriously, that will be a great weight off my (and my parents) sholders…£3150 a year for Uni fees is a lot of money to pay. £650 is a much easier sum to pay, dont you think?

I’ll still get a student loan to help pay for books. In year 2 myself and a friend are gunnu see if we can get some people together and rent a house, so it can help pay my share of that too!

Anyway. I know this post has bugger all to do with web development and such, however I’m in a wierd mood…its crossed between excited, and shit scared. Oh, and tiredness….again :p
