So it has been a while since I have posted anything, and while that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been doing anything, it does mean that I have been neglecting this blog.

Here is a quick update on everything going on in my life, for those of you still following this blog.

Work
Working with Splashpress Media is going really great. They are keeping me busy with a variety of things. I assumed that moving to a larger company would mean more organization than Bloggy Network, but that hasn’t entirely been the case. I look forward to helping Splashpress get more organized, though at the same time it makes me laugh since I am not the most organized person in the world.

I have been writing as much as possible on Splashpress sites, and have been working on moving the sites from Bloggy Network’s old servers. The other interesting thing going on in my work life is training the advertising sales person now on our team, also named David. He is a smart cookie, and quick to take in any advice I give him. I am really glad we have added him to the team, and it reminds me how much I enjoy teaching people.

I have also realized that as much as I love writing, I also enjoy dealing with server stuff, files, permissions, missing libraries. It is fascinating, and I hope to push my way into doing a bit more of that as things progress.

On the marketing side of my job, I haven’t had too much time to do anything, but I have a feeling 2008 is going to mean a fair number of conferences for me, and thus Splashpress Media.

I am still working on my own personal projects as well. eXtra For Every Publisher is doing really well, and that is where I spend most of my personal time blogging. I am also working on trying to get into a groove with AltSciFi, and I want to launch another blog that I have sort of on the back burner right now.

Other than that, I have a project that is slowly being developed. I really hope it works out as well in the real world as it does in my head/imagination. It should be launching in the summer of 2008. A big thanks to Corey and Ryan for their continued support.

Family
Sabine and I are doing really well. We have been insanely tight on money lately, to the point where a gift from my dad for Christmas helped us get through the month without raking up too much more debt. Thanks Dad!

Mostly our money issues stem from Sabine not having a full time job, but to be honest, despite the stresses of having no money, it has been working out alright education wise for her, as she continues to get the courses she needs to go to College or University for Nursing. (That’s the goal anyways…)

So right now we are trying to keep everything as inexpensive as possible so that she can focus on her education and her goals in that respect. Hopefully, it will all work out for her, as she really deserves to get to do this.

On Boxing Day, Sabine and I are going to make the trek to Kingston to visit with as many people as possible. Hopefully, everything will go well. I miss my family, but I would rather see a few of them at a time and spend real quality time with each than being part of the craziness that is a big family Christmas.

Hopefully, everyone out there is doing alright and I hope you all have a safe and happy holidays.
