I forgot my birthday

While it's officially this Tuesday, I forgot all about it and a couple of mates asked me about what I have planned for this year.

Truth is, or was I should say I forgot my birthday was this close. I had been so busy with business and concentrating on other business ventures that I wasn't even thinking of myself.

A lot has been happening, and the scary part is, another year has gone by and I feel as though I've accomplished nothing. Actually, I've done a fair amount of work. Though most of it sadly has mainly been fixing other people's problems. So from now till the end of the year I'm making it my mission to work on all my own crap.

The short version is, I'm going to slowly taper off and eventually cut off my IT support services. I'll be opening a couple of online stores that specialise in IT related areas. One of which is selling PC's with Linux pre-installed on it. This will be similar to what System76 does.

The other store will sell system upgrades. RAM, Hard drives, video cards. Also, I'm thinking of setting up an online store selling recycled products. By recycling, I mean I am going to manufacture my own products from materials that normally end up in the bin. I'll give you a hint.... packaging. Products made from recycled packaging.

There are a couple of other unique ideas I want to get off the ground. They cost time and money, more so than other ideas. Though it could pay off big. However, because it is such a unique idea, I can't talk much about it yet. Though I will share as it develops.

Watch this space. Why? Because I'm getting older, and I'm playing catchup for all that laziness in my youth.
