What I’m doing now

(This is a now page, and if you have your own site, you should make one, too.)

Home

I’m super lucky to be able to work from home, with my daughter. I’m extremely thankful for those who are out there working, shipping, delivering.

We’re in a old village house in the countryside, making dens with my two year old daughter, having tea parties and teddy bear picnics. Reading plenty and practicing numbers and letters. Lots of wrestling and acrobatics, animal games and dancing.

Online Meanderings

Setting up a sync between eBay, Shopify and Amazon, also Facebook Instagram and Pinterest.

Writing blog posts, bringing posts relevant to vhs collectors, movie lovers and everybody else. Getting ready to do my first podcast interview with a horror enthusiast over in Ireland. Talking about the Golden Class Movies tape collection, how it started building, what it's doing right now and what the plans are in the future.

See the first podcast at goldenclassmovies.com/pages/podcasts and bookmark that page to see the next podcasts appear as I get them recorded and transcribed.

Programming

Editing CSV files exporting them and importing them back into the shop with tweaks here and there. Learning Excel to search multiple entries and edit fields and the associated rows (in different columns) Tricky..

Playing with the stylesheet and a bit of HTML in the backend, colours fonts and font sizes.

Most of the work is done with the help of Shopify, if you are looking to open an online store, look them up and if it's a thumbs up, take a free trial. Excellent phone support, plenty of tech savvy gurus on the line plus in touch through email. Apps you can trust, up to date development and support. Best of all their phone lines are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  

Finishing “The Story Of Golden Class”

I've secretly been working on a book for around a year now chipping away bit by bit making notes when and wherever possible. I'd like to compile the writings into several chapters and one full book.

There is an ulterior emotive for the book creation, explaining more towards the release day, i'll be divulging a whole heap more in the book itself.

Watch this space..

Exercising: Thrice daily

Six days a week, i'm putting aside at least 20 minutes in the morning, afternoon and evening for Dynamic Stretching, Kung-Fu and Meditation 

Morning: Qigong/Calisthenics

Afternoon: Chopping Wood/Martial Arts

Evening: Shibashi Taiji/Seated Meditation

Dictation, Not Typing or Writing

For the first time i'm using a dictation app on the phone to make notes, so whatever i'm doing its easy to stop for a few minutes and start creating an article.

It is certainly giving me the motivation to create more. It''s also providing a new dimension to my expression, so much quicker than writing dictation is bringing a different quality and feel to the text.    

Okay, must dash for now.
