twenty-seven years and one million words

Had my first success with the new project - contacting ISP's and attempting to drum up new relationships. A small firm from Hamilton that seems to have business, among other places, in this scarily connected building on Front St.

I know virtually nothing about the industry. It's been some interesting reading, to date. Happily, John seems to be getting involved, so we'll have some real sales expertise put to work on this thing.

rand()m quote

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
