A lot of changes in the business of late

Tags: business, computer, music, staff, website

Things have been growing well beyond our expectations in the business in the past month, well of course we anticipated it to all go well but not this early. Brent’s major contract has now turned fulltime and I have enough work to keep me busy until March just about. So all of this work and the continuation of it has convinced us that its time to hire. That’s right we are now getting ourselves our first employee, its a big step up for the business and one that I always couldn’t wait to take.

Music to Keep me Working Hard

I don’t always like to sit in silence whilst doing work but then I also the dilema of getting into the music to much instead of working. I think I have found a good balance of what music to listen to which mostly contains what is called ‘Chillout’. Nice mellow tunes that stop you from getting into it just a lil too much

I have got a heap of the Ministry of Sound Chillout albums which contain a good variety of these mixes. Infact I have been downloading them from a great ‘legal’ website call AllofMp3. Theres been a lot of discussion in world news about this website however to its ‘legality’ but its still up and running so I advise you to go check it out, when compared to other popular sites for music it defiantly tops the list!

One site that gave me a little chuckle this week was on what happens when you let a developer create user interface, not exactly an appealing interface and shows how many developers are just happy that a program just does what it needs to and leave it at. So many other websites out there have the same problem and with some nice design changes they could easily increase their appeal without a doubt!

Wednesday morning I decided I will start to mod up my bike a little bit and first of all went and bought me some Gloves for the bike, just the style to cover your hands as i have been starting to get some blisters. My main aim at the moment is to keep on doing 10km bike rides 3 times a week to help keep me fit and live just a little bit longer. I also just have now ordered a CatEye Wireless Cycle Computer (not wi-fi wireless hehe) to help me keep track of the distances I’m riding and average speeds etc. and even has a total odometer!
