When I quit my dads’ company, I decided the only way to survive in this world is to start a business.

I analyzed the market, service is the best industry to capitalize on my personal knowledge & skills. I started my own web development company as I always like to fondle have always been in love with PHP & MySQL and many OpenSource projects. A few months ago, I have witnessed one of the greatest financial problem in my life.

Initially, I can say I started with zero money in my account. Like many, I started small. I employed myself, used a personal laptop and acquired softwares, (ehem.. original). I have very little knowledge on marketing and sh*t. I threw my savings getting the ‘right people’ to consult. It turned out to be fraud, or rather, “i know this sh*t!”. Oh man, what a waste.

First Post Is Always Mine

Been fiddling around with Wordpress and MovableType. The latter is the clear winner. However lack in themes, I have decided to go ahead with WordPress.

I will be kicking ass(es) on every single topic I find stupid.

If you think criticizing is exciting, then it is. So enjoy your stay ;)

I always like dark colors black.

I went through the whole WordPress theme last night, it was about 2000+ templates. I spent close to 7 hours testing the ones I like.

I have concluded, to make a great design, I have to build myself. It isn’t that hard actually. Some CSS, XHTML… I’m sure I can find my way. Designs me like, thecicak.com, copyblogger.com, mashable.com, clazh.com and techcrunch.com
