How I can always tell when things are going well: I work well into the wee hours of the morning and the only thing that has a chance of stopping me is my laptop running out of batteries and the prospect of walking to the living room to get the power cable.

Many many years ago (almost 9 now??!!?!) I spent a week straight staying up till 5-6am working in a little makeshift office in a run down house on Grand avenue in Pacific Beach. Not because I was trying to be a billionaire but because I was learning new things and challenging myself, and that was the most fun I could imagine. Out of that week came Zeropaid, born of the hard work and frustration of two young men. Years later I find myself staying up late, learning new things, challenging myself. How great is this world when a guy can do exactly what he pleases and somehow make a living at it? God bless you all.

So what am I up to up late? Well watching some roman history DVDs my Dad gave me. Playing around with looks / concepts of Yumm.com, just too good of a domain to not do anything about. Playing with promotional ideas for cars for a grand. Oh that reminds me of a messed up story.

So I am trying to buy this domain I want, and I want it so badly I offered what I considered a ridiculous sum. We haggled back and forth for a while and to my dismay I offered twice my original (and already ridiculous I might add) offer. Guy said great, just wanted me to submit the bid through his domain parking service so they could handle the escrow and all that. I said great because I wanted that security, after all I was talking about a lot of money! Turns out when you submit a bid on this particular domain parking service, the domain holder can then open an auction for said domain as the original bid as the first bid in the auction. Not so great for the unwitting buyer but an amazingly useful tool in the hands of an opportunistic and fortunate seller. *sigh* Oh well hope I get it but I am not raising my offer.

So yeah doing that, trying to find some possible end to the Zeropaid WordPress Conversion (yes it deserves the capitalization). Damn that has taken a long time.

I am liking my new theme and my new home on knofun.com. Hope u are too.
