RikeMedia Update!

November 13th, 2008 | Posted by Rick in general | Internet | Personal | Project Updates | RikeMedia | WSDReg - (0 Comments)

I know I’ve been a little lax on blogging recently. All will be revealed. I’ve had a fairly large amount of uni work to do plus lots of Rike related work going on!

So, whats been going on? Well the first thing, WebmasterStash had a refurb, and merged with another webmaster community, giving us a much larger array of content in the forums. I decided to close the main site as we simply didn’t have time to add new tutorials, templates and scripts due to work and life commitments. I think we tried biting off more than we could chew with WebmasterStash. Anyway, take a look at the new site (well, forums) and feel free to provide some feedback!

Next up, CLUBdb. This is still a fairly secretive project so I cant go into much detail at the moment. All I can say is that its being backed by a large club in the UK. CLUBdb is to fill a huge void in the market and provide some fantastic features. This probably makes no sense at all due to its secrecy…but don’t worry. It will make plenty of sense soon!

Mike has been working hard at a new Rike script. He started off working on a download manager, much like FMDeluxe (if anyone reading this can remember that far back! :p). However decided that his time would be better spent on a non open-source script, that way it could be marketed and licensed out to other companies. Mike is now working on an e-commerce based script with some fantastic new features that rival some of the best shopping carts out there!

The RikeMedia website will also be making a return soon with a new design and company blog. We will be issuning press releases and updates on projects, plus have sections showing what services and products are offered by the company.

Well I think thats about it for now. I’ll be launching the WSDReg Christmas promotion in the next few days and will be offering some fantastic offers! Be sure to keep your eyes on WSDReg.com for the full details!

We had a meeting a few days ago to discuss the Rike Media projects. We came up with several things that needed to be completed in order to help continue the growth of the currently very poor network of sites.

Despite our somewhat productive meeting, I feel that we’re currently in a ditch and are struggling to get back up the other side. It seems that both myself and Mike are at a point where we cant seem to get motivated enough to work on anything at all. I had a feeling this would happen at some point as its happened before in our past projects.

The only problem this time is that I dont think we will get back up the other side….I have a gut feeling that everything is going to come crashing down on WebmasterStash because of our own personal lives and laziness taking priority.

This isn’t something I would normally blog about, maybe its just one of those things where you have to get it all out before you can feel better. One thing’s for sure, I woke up this morning expecting to crack on with some work, and have accomplished nothing. I feel upset and angry at myself for not doing work, and even more angry at the fact that I know I can do it, but cant….if that makes sense.

On another note, we had some professional banner ads made for WebmasterStash which look rather snazzy. You’ll be seeing them around soon. Also, I started and stopped working on moving WSDReg over to AWBS due to the fact that both ResellerClub and AWBS have an inability to communicate and have created a useless product for us. I’ve spoken with AWBS however and they are “looking into” adding functionality that quite frankly should have been put in place before the first version.

Well thats it for today. I’m hoping that I’ll have something less depressing to say later this month.
