So I’ve had my first day of working in the cloud, it’s been interesting.

One thing I didn’t realize is how much I rely on Open Office. Who would’ve thought that someone who works in “Marketing” would spend so much time with their head buried in spreasheets.

I struggled through the day importing spreadsheets into google docs, but am having serious misgivings about working this way; it’s a bit like saying

“Hey Google, here’s a big-ass list of all our clients, keywords we’re targeting for them, and the link building strategies we’re implementing for each of them. Please open up a big can of whup-ass on us!”

I have mostly link building for clients on the books for today, so it should be fairly easy to stay in the cloud. More later in the week.

Oh, and if you haven’t pointed your twitter client at @dapimp yet, you’re missing out on a whole pile of daily nothingness!

See that header image up there? The one with the Einstein quote? Yeah, my dad said that to me once, stuck with me for the next 30-odd years.

So I’m completely ignoring that advice now, and having another crack at blogging. In the past we had quite the little “make money online” blogger community going. We’d all visit and comment on each other’s blogs, encouraging each other, having more than the odd spat (although they invariably seemed to involve me getting under someone’s skin by being a little too abrasive for my own good). Most of those bloggers aren’t online anymore, well, at least under their old blog addresses anyway.

That was around the start of 2006 when this domain was registered, when with stars in my eyes, I was absolutely convinced that I’d make my killing online telling others how to make money online.

A hell of a lot has changed since then!

I’m now a corporate SEO dude, working for a Toronto based Internet Marketing Agency from my loungeroom here in Australia on accounts across Canada and the US. It’s great because I can work in my underwear, choose my hours to suit, and best of all, get regular paychecks!

So let’s see if we can’t fire this sucker up one more time, eh?

Oh, and if you know me from a lifetime ago, and you happen upon this post, please leave a comment down below, I’d love to hear from you, even if I pissed you off no end in the past. (I see Burt, Sarah and Chance are still around, what about Empress, Mark @ 45N5? Anyone else?)
