My first steps to become an internet entrepreneur

Posted on January 11th, 2008 as Goals, Projects, Sites

This is a start of a series I will continually update. It will be about my sites I run and about my headaches and joys of achieving my end goal to become a full time internet entrepreneur.

I have been into computers for the last decade (wow does time fly). In those years I have been building computers, overclocking hardware, run tons of different software, and using the internet. I always find myself drawn to website design and social interactions like instant messaging. I did some basic web design on and off for a few periods of time but never really stuck with it.

I started reading blogs when they started booming and remember reading sites on how to make money through them but never tried. It was something that I always but on the back burner and said I would get back to. I ended up really get sidetracked when I went to a technical school for the networking side (IT Networking and administration if you want to be technical). After a few years of network administration and desktop support I realized I was really missing messing with websites. Read the rest of this entry »

Going digital: goodbye cd’s and dvd’s

Posted on January 4th, 2008 as Projects

My collection of cd’s and dvd’s keeps growing and is past the point of getting out of hand. Right now I own about 200-250 dvd’s and I am not even sure how many cd’s. It seems like they are breeding because they are all over. I did some thinking on ideas and I have decided that I am going to copy all of my music and movies and put them into digital form and box up all of my physical discs in the attic or spare closet.

Lucky I already have a fileserver setup and have extra storage. I will have to pick up some more hard drives as I get further into this project put I have 500 GB free so I imagine this will hold me over for the time being. Over the past few days I have started coping discs using anydvd for movies and eac for cd’s.

To play my music and movies through my house I have two media center computers, one hooked to each television. Also I have a nice set of speakers hooked to my computer for music and movies if I feel like watching them on a smaller screen. In my car I have an pioneer ipod ready car stereo so I just hook a cable to my ipod that sits in my glove box so I can listen to my music and charge my ipod at the same time.

All in all I think it will be nice once I am finished. My music was mostly completed since I have an ipod but still have around 50-80 discs left and my movie collection I have only scratched the surface. I am excited to get it done so I do 1-2 movies a night sometimes more.

Starting on a goal: Getting Organized

Posted on January 3rd, 2008 as Goals, Organizing, Projects

After my article planning your goals and stick to them I knew I needed to get started on my goals for 2008 or I would be talking the talk but not walking the walk. One of my important goals for this year is to get organized. Over the last 2 or 3 years I start organizing then half way through I lose steam and slowly but surely give up and never finish organizing. Right now my files are all over, I have stacks of record keeping boxes full of magazines or books, my clothes are all over and are not hung up. Also one thing that really is annoying me is my desk; right now it is covered with papers, pens, and various crap. I have put up with it but slowly it is really starting to annoy me.
