Be The Jam

At the moment I guess I could be said to be practicing living in the wilds whist living of money earned  from running a web site. That would indeed be a good thing to do, it would be mighty good practice for going and living in the jungle and living off money earned from a web site, it would be handy to have some experience in at least one element of the going and living in the jungle and running a web site thing. The problem is that I'm not making any money from the site, this is probably because the site isn't yet in a position to start generating capital and I think that this could be traced back to the fact that I have irregular access to a computer and none of the necessary skills to make the computer do what I want it to.

I think though that I have found someone to build a web site that will do what is necessary and I might have figured out how to get myself access to a computer, I might also have figured out a way of marketing the site so as to get loads of people looking at the site. It is all going to take quite a lot of work, I had thought that going to the Amazon would be easy. I imagined, naively as it turns out, that it would be quite easy to find a corporate sponsor to put up a nice big pile of cash to fund Mission Improbable and in return the lovely corporate sponsor people would get to put their logo all over the web site and maybe give us a couple of baseball caps with their logos on for when we get photographed by the press. The reality is somewhat different, there have been plenty of people and companies who have very kindly offered bits of kit, reductions in services and what not but no big sponsor. So it seems that Mission Improbable is going to have to pay for itself.

Interesting.

Challenging.
