The Kilbot Factory

Eating my own dog food

At a party in San Francisco last year, I got talking to a nice young lady who informed me that her uncle was quite wealthy from selling dog food. “Ah!”, I said, “Does he eat his own dog food?”, quite pleased with my little joke.

She said “No” and we talked no more. Obviously she wasn’t familiar with the expression.

In any case, I bring this up because moments ago I posted an article on kilbot.com.au about the revival of personal blogging in 2010. And so, here I am, eating my own dog food so-to-speak. The article contains a link to this site, so you’ll see it all quite nicely circular … and I guess if you are reading this article you are – in a sense – eating my dog food too.

Business School

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.

my kilbot.net

You may have noticed I haven’t posted to the news section of kilbot.net for a while, mostly because I’ve been looking for work and trying to devise other scams, erm, i mean plans of making some money.

Well now I am posting news and looking for work in a gross display of commercialism that would even make Eddie blush.

You can have your own kilbot.net (or something similiar) for as little as $150, which includes:

• your own .com domain name
• hosting for a year
• personalised web design
• see my.kilbot.net for an example

Now, I don’t necessarily want you guys to get your own kilbot.net, I would rather you stay right here… but Christmas is coming up and webpages make great presents
