In the next month and a half…– five sites to build for day job– normal day-job stuff as well– two personal sites to redesign, write, and build– two blogs to run, one of which needs me to review stuff– business plan to re-visit Cripes, eh? That’s why I’m not around much at the moment, and […]

My god, it’s wonderful. I have to get out there. Today I am planning to bike into Cambridge to do some photography for Cambridge.IsHome. I need to spend as little as possible, though. Live like a monk month isn’t going brilliantly. Don’t get me wrong, I’m saving loads, but if I want to keep to […]

Time to reveal the new project. Cambridge.IsHome is a new site celebrating everything great about where I live – Cambridge. As you could probably guess from the title. You can find Cambridge.IsHome here: http://cambridge.ishome.co.uk Last night I did some photography in Cambridge, came home, put together a mock-up title bar and had a quick go […]

My lovely car. Sob! Get in touch if you want to buy it.

So… I’m not going to be JuicyFly limited. At least not at the start. It’s a shame because I love the name and the designs Oli did for me. But for financial and administrative reasons I’ve decided to go down the route of being a sole trader, which means I have far less paperwork and […]

HM Revenues and Customs recognise me as self employed. Well, back-dated, they will. I am now a sole trader, trading as “Maltpress Web Consultancy”. And what’s happening to JuicyFly? More news tomorrow.

Following a restful weekend during which I watched an inordinate number of films (X-Men III is quite good – not brilliant, but quite good) I am now doing set-up with a vengeance. I’ve had some good advice and the point at which I say I am self employed seems very, very close. So today it’s […]
