Steve Hooker's Radio Weblog: A Welsh boy stuck in the wrong country, struggling to get home

Next thing to do is get all my content out of Manila sites into my Radio site.

Been thinking about the 'project.' ANd I want to broaden the scope, and narrow the target area. Want to aim at businesses in general, possibly SMEs mainly.

Start setting up bi weekly seminars on various topics for businesses, £20 RSVP per seat, try and aim at 50 limit. $39 for the software at basic level plus £100 per Manila site. We make money on customisation, training and support.

  • Keeping customers/suppliers informed, hourly
  • developing reputation in competance
  • home working, listening to the hum of an org
  • disposable (project web) sites

Think of all those joined up supply chains with West Midlands metal bashers. Now that would be a community. Should be good gossip.

Over a year of this promotion in the West Mids, should build up quite a reputation for us, and mucho experience and market testing. Roll out through UK, then.

Of course, we all so do sector specific seminars:

  • websites for biz consultants (good resellers)
  • micro publishers
  • door to door sales and SMS intranets

London braced for 'winter vomiting': "More on this Story What the winter bug does to you (23 Jan 2002)From Scotland to the South Coast, offices and schools have been left half empty as the vicious, airborne stomach infection - characterised by projectile vomiting and diarrhoea - has "cut like a knife through butter""
"The bug's official title is the Norwalk-like Virus, after the town in Ohio where it was first identified. "

Norwalk Virus Infection Facts: "How is Norwalk virus infection diagnosed?"
"Laboratory diagnosis is difficult. Diagnosis is often based on the combination of symptoms and the short time of illness."

So the speed of recovery is the thing. Well, Bradley was shitting mid last week, threw up at skool on Thursday, coughing and moany till Monday when he projectile vomited and been up and down the temperature from 40.4° on Tueday night and 37° in skool today. He goes up every 4-6 hours or so. Hot, pissed off. We force 5 or 10 mil of Calpol and half an hour again he's either asleep or wanting to play.
Did I say he can sing Bob the Builder now? He likes his tunes, does our Bradley.
