Work at a desk all day? Needed exercise… Got a treadmill.

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Like millions of people I’m an office employee and site builder in my spare time. Sometimes an outdoor job really appeals (for the one week a year summer we seem to get, but don’t get me wrong I’d rather be indoors most of the year.

The problem is, I got stuck in a rut. Work ties you up sometimes and quite often I don’t even drag myself away for fifteen minutes. So at the start of the year I decided to do a bit of exercise. I’m not the “going to the gym” type, so thought I’d get fit at home. So I got myself a treadmill. In the past I’ve owned other exercise equipment such as exercise bikes and those air-walker thingys. I’ve used all these for a week or two and given up. Funny thing is, I’m quite enjoying the treadmill. It took me a while to get into it, now I don’t mind as much and I can feel it’s actually making a difference to my health.

If you’re interested, I got myself a Reebok I-Run treadmill.

Valuation of Domain Names

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

I’ve become a little hooked on collecting domain names. I’ve find myself trawling around the likes of Sedo and Buydomains for my domains. What I’ve generally found is that the sellers price expectation never comes anywhere near mine.

Recently I’ve purchased a domain to develop a site about Wireless Routers. I’ll admit this was a bit of an impulse buy, as I only purchased it as it was at auction and to be honest I think the male machismo took over… I needed to win it.
