As some of you know I have been at business school for the last 8 weeks putting together some sort of plan for the commercial arm of The Kilbot Factory. The official launch date of The Kilbot Factory as a business is August 1st and things are starting to develop over at www.kilbot.com.au. I will be releasing new stuff all through July, including a major update of kilbot.net (did someone say version 2?). Apart from a design overhaul, the main feature of kilbot.net v.2 will be a switch to Wordpress as a content management system, making it easier for everyone to share news, rants, pictures and links.
The Kilbot Factory shop will also open on August 1st. After a brief fling with cottage industry, I have decided to get the goods produced properly here in Melbourne. Big Daddy Wallbuxx may just get his shirt after all.
At this stage you're probably thinking “How can I get involved?” or may be “When does this get fun?”, well… to start with you could fill out this fun survey.

Very nice looking site Paul. It's pretty enough to justify you not visiting me while I was over there :P
B-Diddy DubSac says:
Good to see the old-fashioned market economy working well, ie money can be exchanged for goods & services, as opposed to supplementing the vendor's raging drug addictions!
Go RoboKil! Go "fun"!
Just a random thought - any concerns over a client googling "kilbot" for business purposes, and then stumbling over the c*ntf*ckery of this page? I know fully grown men who have wept when I told them I know a bloke named Badger…[/gratuituous BadgerGag off]

Thanks Brett and B-Diddy for your support(s),
In answer to your question about clients visiting this page;
1. I will use some 3l33t skills to ensure that the com.au site comes up first on Googles for "Kilbot Web Design".
2. I also think it is good to have a free discussion of ideas on my personal page, it shows I am 'down' with 'youth' 'culture' (as in, "you can't control me, man, cos I'm crazy like that and if you don't like it you better take your pancake arse off to Stuffy McCorporate Colours down the road, but you also better be ready for The Kids when they rise on mass and ask, "Why? Why don't you sell sperm like Kilbot".
On an unrelated but relevant topic… I received this in my email this morning:

Sounds like a deal.
Taco says:
Looks fantastic Kilbot. When you make your first million can I have that money you owe me?
B-Diddy DubSac says:
I think you'll have to wait for the second million, as the first is committed to warrants, liens and arm-breakers…
I wasn't aware that we had to submit body parts for the survey, but in that case, I will entertain humourous offers for my lungs - well used, high mileage, black as coal
In other news, I finally received my Official Melbourne Demons membership today - marking my first year of official membership, but celebrating my 18th year of support - i got a scarf, a keyring and a magical magnetic "To Do" List…#1 is "Win The Flag fuckers"!, #2 is "Milk, sugar, truffles" - and I got my first FREE WA match on July 24 v Dem Dockers, for my first time amongst my bretheren
KL says:
Nice one, K-Bo. I like the 3D nature of the site, and the little dude painting.
I am still only just getting the hang of my website, but do you suggest I move to wordpress too?
Will the fact that you are a big business entity mean that I will no longer be able to get free help?
Best of luck with your venture. Seeyou next week sometime. BDW, I can pick up your shirt for you while I am over there.
B-Diddy DubSac says:
welcome to the world of deadlines KBot! The clock has started…July 22nd…Friday nite…= Speedway nite! VROOM mu'fuckka!
theHirsch says:
You know, we've just renewed fascistfairgoparty.com. Maybe you'd like to take us on, pro bono? (Gawain is also willing to offer pro boner if you don't take other people's visas).
fancy dave says:
nice one K-bot. I predict a cavalcade of cash not seen since the early days of G-wain's "gravy train" (i.e. before he realised there could be more to life than getting me drunk - yeah, good fucking luck, chump!).
The painting dude is cute, without being cutesy. A fine line well trodden.
killer says:
Hey KL, I do recommend a switch to Wordpress and seeing as though you in Mrs D will be in town next week, seems like a good chance to move youse across and show you how to use it. (The change won't be too traumatic and gives you lots of new things to play with).
I will always offer free help to you guys under The Kilbot Factory "grandfather clause" (whereby I marry your grandmother, dead or alive, and tell you stories about the war).
See you in 5ish days!
Taco says:
Well Fancy Dave, now I'm poor who is going to get me drunk?
The gravy train has turned into a slow boat to nowhere.
Now that's brown gravy gold with chunks in it.
killer says:
Whatchu gotta do there G is knock up that doctor. Gravy. train. for. life.
You know Christine is an anagram of "Nice Shirt". You can use that if you want.
Barney says:
1st million is mine - most of it interest. 2nd is for arm-breakers. Then you, Taco.
Get in line sucker. Daddy needs a new pair of slippers.
