If you love the HABS, or if you like HOCKEY, or if you're just into reading what a PASSIONATE fan will say about his favorite team, then I urge you to check out the site WWW.HABS7.COM.

By Habs, I mean the Montreal Canadiens. They won again last night, THREE IN A ROW!

Hey! New stuff!

You can now order my books from Amazon.ca. The "site transformation" process is well underway. There's a lot of "behind the scenes" stuff that'll really blow your mind. All things in good time, however, as the saying goes. I'm only getting started, and that's the truth.

Furthermore, I'm switching to another hosting plan (still with good old GoDaddy, though) in a few days/weeks, which means moving to a newer version of Joomla! - which means that further tampering with this template might cause more problems, so until I migrate to the new server, I'm going to keep as quiet as possible about my plans.

Suffice it to say the air is brimming with projects, and that with a bit of luck, I might actually start making a little bit of money off the site. Sure, running a website doesn't cost a lot of money OR time (except when changing designs), but it IS a rather hardcore challenge. I'm trying to come up with a schedule whereby I can get this site (and a few others) going without too much trouble. Once they're up and running, of course, updating them is a piece of cake. I'm looking forward to that, truth be told. In the mean time, I've got my work cut out for me, and very little time to do it. This business is time consuming - very time consuming - but it needs to be done. At this point, I'm thinking a few, well-run websites might earn me some side money, and that side money will provide security, and that security will provide some well needed RELAXATION. I'm working my little heart into a frenzy every time month's end approaches, nowadays. It's not cool.

But, with a few debts gone and some breathing room, perhaps I can save up some and accomplish a few things.

That being said, my main writing project has been vanquished by a translation project, which in turn is hampered by a website project. Luckily, the website (which I'll tell you about when the time comes) should be up and running sometime next week, at which time I'll resume work on my translation project. This should take me about a month to complete - so don't expect frequent updates until then - but my "target date" for the renewal of this site and the official launch of a few others - is APRIL FIRST. That gives me two months to get my things in order, customize template, join affiliate programs and plan some form of monetization strategy.

Therefore, I'm signing off for a little while. I promise to give you more news soon.

Cheers, my friends, and rejoice! Chris Headslice is getting cocky!

Update from January 20th

Well, here's a new template for you. It's not the greatest thing, but it'll do until I recustomize everything. At least, this solves my compatibility issues with Internet Explorer. Stay tuned - many more changes to come over the next few weeks. I'm going to rebrand this thing, and I've got some great projects coming up.

In the mean time, I'm knee deep in a literary translation (imagine that)... and writing, as always... WRITING!

Okay, no time to chatter. See you soon!

Here's some more news.

I'm working on this template, trying to get it to work. So far, so good; brushing up on my PHP & CSS handling. Getting better at it, but sticking to the essentials. I'm not too sure exactly what the final result is going to look like; I'm mostly experimenting at this point, so don't be surprised if the website gets a makeover every couple of days for the next few weeks. I'm using a fun template, but it's a lot of work to get it JUST so. Either way, I'm having a blast.

More later!

Update from January 11th!

@ChrisHeadslice on Twitter!

Happy New Year. I hope you all had plenty of poultry, gravy, pot pies or whatever other Holiday dish you favor. In my case, it was all good, great and fabulous.

2012 is a time of change for this website. First of all, I will most likely be abandoning Joomla! in the weeks to come. I've run into some compatibility issues since I started using it (mostly because I can't debug my template), but I've had enough of my own limitations. I'll be moving on to a simpler CMS, and splitting the site in two. All of my writing samples will appear on the second site, which will be embedded in this one. This little thing will become more of a personal blog - which is what I've been doing with it ANYWAY.

Furthermore, I and a friend will be launching another site within a week or so - hopefully sooner. I've been developing content for that one for a few weeks, so it's about time we put the sucker online. All of my sites will be monetized, starting whenever I get around to it - but hopefully it'll all be done by the end of the weekend. I consider myself an optimist.
