A Couple of Opportunities...

Been really busy at Uni this past week. Looking to get a newsletter up this weekend and make some cool updates to the site. In the meantime, here's some stuff nicked from www.mandy.com. The third and final one of these posts seems a bit dodgy to me. Would appreciate if someone had any pointers on whether such a venture would be worth anyone's time; just seems to me like the business would be making money off your own hard work, whilst you make next to nothing. Anyway, have a good one.
