Well today was officially my last day of holidays. I’ve pretty well had 3 weeks off now for the wedding and honeymoon, and I must admit I really really don’t want to go back. If only there was some way for me to get / win a few million dollars overnight…..hrmmm

This weekend has been pretty flat out, apart from having a load of cleaning and washing to get done, I’ve managed to set up, clean up, code, etc. a whole bunch of websites that I’ve been meaning to get sorted out for a few months now. I also upgraded about 16 WordPress installations, plugins included, to the latest versions. On top of all of that coding I cleaned up all my Google Analytics codes, Google Webmaster submissions, and all the other little advertising and tracking bits of code. Phew!

Most of yesterday I coded a new look for I’m With The Band, again, and this time I’m really really happy with the site and all that’s left to do is pretty it up with some colour and a few logos and other little image type things. Take a look at the new site and let me know what you think of the progress so far.

Today I started another project that I’ve wanted to get going for a while now. I’m making a website come portal, come review site, come social network, dedicated to Newcastle called I Heart Newcastle. Hopefully I’ll get it locked in a little more during this week, but the basics are there now and I’m building a team of people to get involved with it all so hopefully it’ll become a bustling little website pretty soon.

And last but not least, I’ve started building a website for the Gloucester Country Club. I was kindly given a membership to the club by my father in-law Tony and it’s such a great, friendly little club that I wanted to make a website for it. I’ve got plans to go up there and photograph the golf course, the club, and all the other facilities and once all that is done I’ll try and hand it over to the club to update. Oh I’m such the anthropologist. haha

Right O! That’s all from me for now, time to go relax in front of the tv and have a couple of quiet drinks to ease my mind into having to go to work tomorrow…argghh.

It’s always tough going back to work, at least you have those new web projects to keep you sane.

You know you’re in the wrong place when Sunday night is always sad because you know you have to go to work in the morning. That’s what it’s like for me anyway.

16 WP installs?! I don’t think I could keep up with that. I guess once you get one a roll it’s only the upload time that’s a limiting factor, unless something goes wrong.

Umm, what’s up with the picture of the Canon?

Yeh 16 install upgrades, I just got into some weird zone and next thing you know *bam* it’s all done..and with no broken sites at all.

Umm the Canon, I just needed a picture for the post and it was handy. I was going to use a photo of me playing golf at Gloucester Country Club but I couldn’t find on my iMac.
