Had a bad day today…

Recieved a letter from Smoking Gun’s Accountants explaining that I am personally liable for an outsanding debt. I very much doubt that the debt will be settled any time soon, therefore I expect that the whole lot will be heading my way! And it is not a small amount! 🙁

As I am not really in the position to pay the debt, I did after all go without salary for 2 years with Smoking Gun and am owed a considerable amount by the company as well; currently doing my best to pay back the personal debt that I accrued over that time…

I did however sign the accountants engagement forms that makes me personally liable…

So what to do now…. I need legal advice me thinks!

When I joined IBM I figured that I would get more time to spend with my family and work on the numerous projects that I have on the go. One of the problems that I have with my self is that I take on way too much as my brain is always thinking about new things; if only I could keep myself focused and have less ideas!

My first instinct was to kill off a few projects, or at least put them on a back burner, and then concentrate on the ones that I wanted to get out the door first. So DDR move to the front, and indeed I have managed to make great strides forward on it even if it isn’t where I wanted it to be. I also manage to get quite a bit done on one of my Novels. However, as time has moved on, things have started to slide.

I went through a phase of really busy IBM. That is to be expected as it will no doubt fluctuate over time, that is after all, the nature of the work. The difference being that with your own company, you have less fluctuation and more constant. At the same time I was working on “Alan Hansens FAPL Super Quiz” – an iDVD game. I was working on that in the evenings for Smoking Gun and SmartlyHeated. You can imagine that I didn’t have a great amount of time left for anything else.

I am in the process of creating a new blog, more info on that later.

I have started up a new company to exploit some all technology and concepts that I worked on many years ago. More info on that later as well.

After a chance conversation with Rob a few days ago, I have revisited another old website idea that is just right for the time. Guess what… yes you’re right… more info on that later! 🙂

I’m now starting to doubt if the Novel idea that I am currently working on, is the right way forward, and perhaps I should go back to idea number (..insert no here..) .

So, where is all the time going…?

It was Rebekah’s 6th birthday on the Saturday and obviously we threw a party for her. She’s been thinking about how her party would be since the curtain fell on her 5th party. She’s decided on a Beach Party and so we set about converting our New Forest garden into a sea front beach. She picked her birthday guests and sent out postcard invitations.

Victoria and Sue spent months thinking about and organising all the details. There were waves to paint and cut out, a sun to create, deck chairs, buckets and spades, fishing nets, cut out sea creatures, beach balls, inflatables, shells, an ice cream parlour, water games, a swimming pool, a bucket and spade birthday cake, beach styled food stuff, and not to mention 2 tonne of sand to create that beach.

On Thursday the sand was delivered and I spent the evening wheel barrowing 2 tonne of sand from the front of the house to the position of our new beach around the back of the house. Saturday we all rushed around arranging everything. Continue reading “Beach Party”
