Forward Progress

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

I’m working on Trish’s project. I don’t have any problems with doing the site, its just that flash drives me crazy. I hate actionscript. This preloader won’t work and I’m running out of time. I’m supposed to be sticking to a schedule that has this done before next week. Even if I work during the weekend, this most likely won’t be done. I hope I can get in contact with Hutch and see if he can give me a hand. The rest of the site will be a cakewalk after that.

I’m going to try and hire a few more people to create a sales team. I hope the fiasco of last year doesn’t repeat itself. Craigslist was extremely helpful in getting the people. I’m going to start making some calls on Monday. All the more reason to get this site done.

I talked to a friend of mine in KY. He’s going to do some recon down there for me and see if the market is open for web design. I also talked to a friend in Peoria and he said his wife might be interested.

I went to a poetry slam with my friend Justin this past Saturday. I was mainly for kids but it was an icebreaker if I ever wanted to publish my stuff. The main demographic was 10th grade girls. They had some pretty heavy stuff in their poems; abuse, their generation not living up to its potential, mom had breast cancer, etc. So one of the parents that were there, I talked to them about her daughter’s poetry and the function of Solar Dragons Scholarship Center and she was interested in what we are doing. In addition to that, I met up with the Library Director in Richton Park. She was interested in some projects that I ran past her. Hopefully we can keep in touch.

My main focus now is to fix this flash and call these potential sales people on Monday.

I’m back

As a brief review: I’ve been sick. I was in the hospital a couple of time and now I’m getting better. There is so much that I need to catch up on. Social media and networking I need to do. I have a couple of projects that I’m doing now, plus stuff I want to expand into. As usual though, you have to go where the money is, so that’s where I am.

I finally caught up with Mark, so we are back on track with the hummer club. I talked to Trish and she needed some work done too. I’m meeting up with Chris on Monday to talk about some social media stuff.

There are some projects I want to do but I’m probably gonna run it past Matt and ppl on LinkedIn first. Someone has done it, no need to reinvent the wheel.
