Evolution… or Not!

Well my intention to make some money from the web by the end of January was not realised, but I’m not going to dwell on such failures. It is not easy doing this and I’ll just have to learn! I won’t be making any money here for quite a while it seems.

Angkor Thom in CambodiaI still don’t know what to write about at the moment other than myself…… boring! It’s taking an age transcribing my journal onto my computer for the travelogue and I can see it taking a long time before that’s up and running, so it’s a real project that will require more attention and focus than I have given it up to now. Once I have some pages on this site I am hoping I’ll have a definite idea of what Leave The Office is going to be about.

I have at least 4 websites of differing subject matter that I want to design, but I just don’t know when I’ll be able to start any of them. Anyway I won’t complain. At least I’ve got things to look forward to doing!

Evolution is a slow process, so I suppose it’s no different for a website being created by an absolute novice!

In anticipation of the travelogue here’s a photo from my trip in 2004.

Well, it looks like the blog slog is paying off. Looking good - inside and out.
I can’t believe that you haven’t made any cash out of this - didn’t the Google people slip you a couple of bucks for the ads? The rotten swines!  I’m going back to askjeeves.com ;-)

Anyway - for my two pennies worth - to me, getting a 9-5 job equals leaving the office - I work too many hours and would love a bit of routine: And I don’t really subscribe to the idea that we’re in a cage that we can escape by going off somewhere. I think we make our own cages - some are dire and smell of wee, others are made of things we like (like cheese or music or booze.)

Anyway - good luck with the blog - i’ll add it to me favorites.
If you’re bored on the night shift - have a look at my new myspace site which i set up to share ideas with my collaborators - search for mr leighton jennings under music.

Mmmmmm a cage of cheese….

I quite agree about creating the “cage”. I suppose my personal experience of being free of it is to “escape” somewhere. Maybe that’s because I have some strong ties in a far-off place.

Thanks for the comment. I’ll check out the Myspace. See you there!
