Finishing Up Those Projects This Weekend
Hopefully.
Ha ha. So I’ve really been trying to put the final screws into these projects and I think I’ll finally be able to do that this weekend. *fingers crossed*
Even though I’m not quite ready to unveil either of them at this moment…
I thought that I could at least put out a little blurb about them up today so I can buy a little more time from all of you. (#):)
And of course when I finish them, I’ll unveil them in all their glory and you guys can let me know what you think so I can make some improvements as necessary.
So a friend of mine in California contacted me a little while ago about making a website for a business of sorts that he’s trying to get off the ground. Basically you can send in your pictures, and an artist that he knows will take your photos and make oil paintings out of them. Obviously there are other services currently available that can do the same thing, but I don’t think at the rate he’s going to charge. For me, it’s a neat little project since I’m handling the upload process with a little php and Flash. Stay tuned on that one.
As I’ve said before, I’m putting a lot of effort in getting this site to where it needs to be so I can start doing some serious marketing to bring in clients. Even though I don’t fancy myself a designer, I now have one that I can work with (who I met at previous employer’s) who’s capable of putting out some quality stuff. (Thus taking the burden off me). The thing with BWD is basically when I get going and I get one client, I’ll have more than paid for my monthly hosting costs. Which is one of the reasons why I’ve made this project a big priority for myself.
More To Come
I am DESPERATELY hoping that I have this stuff wrapped up by Monday. It is KILLING me that I haven’t been able to get any posts up in a while, but I’m praying that in the end this little sabbatical will be worth it. Thanks again for the patience everyone!

@Madhur – Well thankfully there’s no “due dates” for this stuff but I need to get them off my plate so I can get back to the more important stuff. (#):)

Good luck with everything, buddy! If you ever get overloaded and need a little more design help, you know who to ask. *coughwinknudge*
BTW, I’m on a Grifball team! Woot. It’s sooo much FUN

Hey Busy sorry to hear that you’re so busy and overloaded! But hang in there, it’ll be over pretty soon! Shame on me for being a complete couch potato at home (and online). Haha.

@Mike – I’ll def keep you in my book of artist contacts since I’m trying to stay away from design work best I can.
BTW, I’ve YET to try Griftball! I’ve just been so busy man!
@teddY – A couch potato? Oh I wish I could go back to those days. Hey who knows. Maybe if everything works out, I WILL be able to. (#):)

@Mike – Geez, you guys are serious! Well thanks for the invite, I MAY take you up on it if I get all my work done by then. (#):) I just hope my kid is still asleep at that time. … That’s always the XFactor when it comes to online gaming.
