UK Top 40 Charts

Roughly 3 months ago, I contacted a Gent who owned a domain name I wanted to use as a bargaining chip for a DIFFERENT domain name – but anyway….

He is one of these lucky people who was in the right place at the right time, and has amassed a collection of domain names like no other. I have no idea of the amount (to be honest I don’t think he has) but its in the tens of thousands!

Anyway to cut a long story short, we are now working with him on a few projects one being the UK Top 40 Singles and Albums Chart website. The reason this was the first domain we chose, was that a friend of ours had a similar site, so I knew the code was available already!

My mate is working on it with us now too, and he has made the code 100x better – and he has forwarded traffic form his old site the new one!

Adam is finishing the design today – and later today is the proper launch date.

Multiple Gmail Accounts on HTC Hero

I’ve recently got myself a HTC Hero through work, as I’m sick of blackberry’s not working right and constantly failing. Before i got the HTC I was really unsure whether or not me and my fat fingers would get on with it – so far so good however!

If it wasn’t for the HTC auto-correct stuff I’d have sent it back already!

The only other two things i was unsure about, was the lack of multiple Gmail account support and the lack of blackberry messenger. I still miss BBM but I’ve managed to sort out the issue with having more then one gmail account on it.

After some extensive google searching i stumbled upon a forum post on an android forum discussing this very issue – and one of the form posters mentioned a beta program that ticks all the boxes.

Its called the SEVEN Beta program, and you can download the software you need (for now) for free here; http://community.seven.com/main.php

I had to get the version for the G1 as there was no entry for HTC hero but it works VERY well – supports as many yahoo, gmail and hotmail accounts as you want to add and it is integrates into your Hero very well – notifying you of new mail via the top drop down notification window.

All in all, its put anther gold star against the HTC Hero, and that new blackberry they offered me is looking more and more like its never going to happen

I haven’t actually blogged for ages

It seems like a hell of a long time ago that i actually wrote a blog post that wasn’t aimed or themed around the marketing of one of our websites, or one of our customers. I wouldn’t really count the lyrics stuff as blogging either – as that’s pure search engine catnip, and all those are done as tests to see how much i can own google.

Things are going great with work – we’re going from strength to strength and our team is probably going to need to grow again real soon! It would be nice to get someone in who is more techie than both Adam and Myself, or maybe just a hardcore coder who can do ninja php and asp stuff – that WOULD be cool!

But anyway, we are ticking along nicely doing the web work, online shops, and search engine domination work for our awesome collection of customers.

In fact – things are moving forward so well now, Dave and myself have both been looking at potentially buying a business. Its something that would run totally independently from work, and in fact not require much involvement from us at all apart from us developing a website for us (but that ain’t gonna be costly is it 🙂 )

Its something Gemma and I have spoke about too – as running a business that’s already off the ground is something she can do, but starting something from scratch again is just something neither of us could afford, yet.

I suppose when work is paying a lot more, Gemma and myself could spend some time planning a little business for her – but for the time being buying a pre-made business looks like maybe the best option.

Aside from that nothing has really changed! Im still driving my Caddy, we’re still living in the same house (although now we have cool new shit like a new TV etc) and life is just ticking along normally!

I think I’m gonna go back to my old way of blogging a bit more – its therapeutic 🙂

TTFN bitches.

Professor Green – I Need You Tonight (Lyrics)

I First saw Prof Green when he performed before Sway and the Streets a few years ago @ Rock City. He was good – real good! And after he was on stage he was walkin’ round selling his MixTape and he came over and we slapped hands – it was awesome. I met Gez Ensign for the first time at that event too so it was very memorable for me.

Anyway Professor Green is well on his way to becoming a household name now – and this track with hopefully do what Pass Out did for Tinie Tempah.

Anyway – we didn’t put these lyrics together ourselves, the credit is at the bottom of the post.

Lyrics

(Hello?)
Hello babe, what’s happening, you cool?
(Ah yeah you alright? What’s happening?)
Yeah I’m good, what’s goin’ on?
(Yeah, nothing er chillin’)
Alright, what you up to later?
(Oh yeah about that, um, dya know what I’m really busy can I call you back?)
This ain’t so stereotypical man, not for a stereotypical man, It should be me that wants to get rid of you instead it’s you that don’t give a damn (what?) It was meant to be a one night ‘ting, nothing more than a little one night fling, now when I’m in need you’re the one I ring I (I need you tonight)

But she’s playing hard to get, brunette with such class she’s hard to forget, see at first I wasn’t after her heart but I couldn’t stop thinking about her after I left. I’m beginning to lose my cool, it appears in love I have fallen (whoops!) I’m ready to put my all in and all she does is ignore my calls!

CHORUS:
She’s everything I want, but all that I don’t need
How can she be so hot, yet be so cold to me
How can it be so wrong, and yet it feels so right
I wish I never, but I need you tonight!

This lady is driving me crazy, she blows hot and cold like the AC. I just can’t figure her out next time I’m with her I’m pinning her down (Oi) I’m gonna’ find out if she’s on it or not (not, not) ‘cos all of this shit is long (long, long) See I front like I’m okay but I’m not, I’m being played at my own game and it’s long (long blud). I ain’t no ediot, I’m pro I’m no intermediate so next time she phones me I ain’t even gonna pick up the phone to speak in it (ring) nope, swear down, (ring) wait a minute, that’s her now..

(hello?)
(I really wanna’ see you today)

(Alright, just give me a time and a place and i’m there)

CHORUS:
She’s everything I want, but all that I don’t need
How can she be so hot, yet be so cold to me
How can it be so wrong, and yet it feels so right
I wish I never, but I need you tonight!

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I want you,
won’t stop until I’ve got you,
there’s nothing that I won’t do,
I need you tonight,

Look, I ain’t never been the type to be this (no) I ain’t never been the type to be with, she’s exposin a side of me that, I’m tryna’ fight, I’m tryna’ hide! My pride, I’m tryna’ find it, but ain’t seen it I’m an edjit, I know I can’t help it im fiending!
(I need you tonight)

CHORUS
She’s everything I want, but all that I don’t need
(I am…in a bad place)
How can she be so hot, yet be so cold to me (this stuff don’t happen to me, I’m me!)
How can it be so wrong, and yet it feels so right
I wish I never, but I need you tonight!
(Swear down, It’s just a song, in real life this would never happen to me, I am a pimp, women chase me, i do not chase women)
I need you, I need you
(I swear down)
I need you, I need you tonight…
