Josh Buckley Internet Entrepreneur

It’s always cool to have somewhere to talk with like-minded people. I’m sure most of you visit forums like digitalpoint, wickedfire, talkfreelance etc.. However they all lack something, it doesn’t feel dynamic like an instant messenger.

Now, forums will always have their place - but a new site/chatroom has launched for ‘web entrepreneurs’ and i’m a co-founder. It’s a non-profit site, and a fairly small project - but i’ll be in there a lot of the time. It’s a place where you can talk to like-minded people in an irc channel.

On another note, the biz is going good and growing

Sorry guys, if it isn’t already aparent, my blog is on hiatus. I just don’t have the time/energy to post on it right now. I really love to blog, but it’s just a side project which i do for networking/fun.

I’m sure you’ll all be glad to know that i’ve got some new websites running, which are going nothing less than perfectly. I’m in the process of setting up a company/network site, although i want to think of a name that I will want to keep forever. Many people emailed me about twoslice.com, however i just wasn’t happy with that one. We are currently hiring developers, if you are highly skilled with PHP, MYSQL, XHTML and CSS (photoshop skills are a bonus) and are looking for work, please contact me @ buckleyjosh [at] gmail [dot] com

Other than that, tomorrow is my last day of school My GCSE exams are coming up, which i’m fairly confident about, but it’s not too important to me what i get in them.

I have been on twitter lately, and you can follow me at www.twitter.com/joshbuckley

So it’s been a month since my last blog post, and even longer since a proper one. So, i bet you’re all wondering what has happened? This is definitely a long overdued blog post, yet life has just been so busy lately, i literally could not find the time to make a quick blog post.

Firstly, i have some new sites that have now brought my income back up. This is a good feeling, knowing how well i can control my own income and make it rise fast. This has been one reason why i haven’t updated my blog, as my sites are taking priority because i don’t see my blog as an earner.

I invested $x,xxx in a site and got a 200% return when the site sold just over a month later. That’s been great, after no work - it still amazes me, the power of investments and something i definitely want to do more in the future…

School has probably also been one thing taking up a lot of my time. I have about 2 months left of compulsory school, in that time i have my GCSE exams so i’ve been needing to revise a lot.

My brother and his girlfriend/soon to be wife are having a baby, congratulations to them

On another note, i promised a friend to plug their site

Indiestartups  is a great new blog by my friends Jon Wheatley, Dave Myers and Julian Targowski. It covers independant/bootstrap startups. I love the design by julian, and the content covered so far is great, go check it out and subscribe!

If you’ve read this blog for a while now, you’ll realise that i love a good, powerful speach now and then. And, recently i’ve found a gem of a speech! I loved this speech straight away, tyler mali speaks with authority and i went on to watch some of his other (not so good, but still great) work. Speaking with this authority is a skill which I would love to develop…. (one day)

sorry about the recent problems with the blog. For almost 2 weeks, the commenter file has been corrupt, without me knowing.. thanks for everybody who recently let me know about it, i had a great birthday thanks

Also, the theme needs re-uploading. No idea how i deleted that, but let’s just say i’m still getting used to coda on the mac..

 edit: all fixed now
