My Project Current Status
May 31st
Ok, time for a public update.
My project’s skeleton was finished. It is up and running now.
And I am planning on further steps to introduce some community features and more additional things to interface. This could take me a week or two more and then I can start promoting it. Most probably I will be doing adwords/ysm ads buying and testing how it will go and what should be changed/updated/added.
Wish me luck, I am getting back to work now.
Coffee + Hard Work = My Formula! :)
May 22nd
Continue working on my current project besides other job duties. Was browsing during the day to find any good theme to adapt it for my project. Have to read and watch a lot materials on drupal theming. Thanks to the community – they have tons of stuff on this. I plan to finish first draft by the end of the week. It is possible and I will do my best to finish it by then or sooner.
Currently reading Zen of CSS Design book. Classic and amazing! Exactly what I need right now. It’s for those who already familiar with CSS. It tells you by examples how to design and layout your web sites according standards and best practices. Big amount of valuable and topic focused information and tips. Recomend it for everyone who does work with website development.
So next news from me is that I am a coffee drinker again. After more than a month coffee abstension I decided that I can leave without it but why? Actually I just found some cans of vanilla flavoured coffee in a shop here and couldn’t resist 
I’m creating a block with recomended books in a sidebar. There will be only books I really can recommend to read (internet marketing, business, self discipline and on other different business related topics) and which gave me something valuable after reading them. If you buy one of them using those links I will get a small compensation so it is win-win for both sides. In case you don’t want to use those affiliate links – you can just copy/type their names in google and it will give you links to them on Amazon or somewhere else in seconds.
Ok, need to get back to work…
See you soon… and keep tuned! 
Web-site Development
May 19th
Got through several books on PHP/MySQL to refresh everything in memory and now ready for the journey of developing and creating own web-sites projects!
Choose Drupal as CMS because had an experience of developing modules for it and also did some drupal-related projects. Very good system, especially if you have some programming background. Pro Drupal Development is a very good book for drupal starters – shows big picture of how everything works from inside.
Currently working on first web-site related to casual new and old arcade games. Both online and downloadable. Should finish. Will get live with it very soon. Probably in a week.
Catch a cold here for some reason. Need to get back to my boxing trainings, seems like my body reacts on not enough punches in my head
Stay tuned, soon will be much more interesting stuff.
