A few months back, I swapped one of my domains, fused.org.uk, with Donald Kelly. I regretted it very quickly, Fused is a great domain and of course it had a lot of links which never made it to this blog, as he used it for his own.
Well today, I got it back. And now I can continue with my plan for it’s development; so keep your eyes open in the next 12 months for something awesome.
I’m going to try creating things to target UK traffic; because in past little experiments it’s worked out well – it’s easier to capture UK traffic because there is less competition and the traffic is still of a high volume and quality, and speaks English.
I’m also trying something else totally new – taking my time developing things. I have a few other things in development to launch before I head off to university, things for me to play with and work on while I’m there, I hope.
I won’t make the plan for fused.org.uk public, but with any luck it’ll be the first project (bar this one) that makes it out of “alpha” into a fully functional website.
I installed the beta of office 2010 a week or so ago, I only installed outlook because I use 07 for everything else but today I think I’m giving up on it.
Outlook 2010 is great, its a lovely piece of software and by all means it has a lot of cool features, but its connectivity with my blackberry sucks, which rendered half of it completely useless to me.
And I can’t seem to find a way to send feedback without the send a smile thing, which to me is essentially ‘let’s take a snapshot of your computer, processes, and anything else we like to peruse’ so I’m not a fan of that.
So, when I get home I think I will probably uninstall 2010, stick with my 2007 which doesn’t have outlook.
I do like the interface though. It looks very pretty and everything I need is fairly easy to access, although the send receive button could maybe be somewhere on the home tab in the ribbon thing – its more nitpicking than anything.
But as it is it annoys me, I am thinking of leaving it in favour of online email (apps by Google) and the email on my blackberry, the combination of the two will do me nicely

So did Google Wave just fail?
I mean, it was supposed to be redefining email and all that fun buggery, but to be honest, I’ve not yet see anyone offer Google Wave as a means of contacting them – maybe this was one of the projects that Google would rather forget?
There was a huge buzz as it launched, as I remember, but since then it seems to have gone down like a lead balloon, I joined, with one contact, failed to see the point and never used it again.
I’m curious as to whether there is.. *anyone* that uses wave routinely for a means of contact? Or did it just die?
Wow, it’s 2010 already. I can still remember New Years 2009; this year has flown by.
Looking back, it’s been pretty awesome; I’ve met some amazing people, done some amazing things and have memories I intend to treasure for the rest of my life. A good year, I think.
Celebrating New Years was brilliant, this is one of the first years I’ve gone out and really celebrated, it was brilliant.
Anyway, it’s the start of a new year, which means I have some new targets for myself; things I’d like to accomplish this year. I’ll touch back on this at the end of the year, I hope
Firstly; once my exams are done I’d like to further my plans into creating my own company, providing WordPress (primarially) services to the world. I’d also like to build a little community of my own; for the experience.
Secondly; I’d like to get into University. This will be decided by my upcoming exams this month and the set I have in June; I’d like to finish up studying Physics / Business Management / Both.
Thirdly; I’d like to make some friends. Sounds odd, but I’d like to get in contact with people who do similar stuff to me, like Donald Kelly, with a view to making some friends, and possibly some good contacts for the future 
Those are my three proper intentions for this year, hopefully it’ll be as good as the last one was.
