Nic's Hypnotherapy site
I helped a dear friend, Nic, create a web site for his new hypnotherapy business.
See innerpeachypnotherapy.com.au
Email a few months after launch
Nic
The website is working great. I have a steadily growing number of clients. My supervisor (who knows a lot of starting practitioners) said I'm doing amazingly well, I'd say mostly thanks to you! The guys doing my SEO all commented on how good the website look and how much better that all the other hypnotherapy sites are!
Graeme
That warms my heart to hear. I’m so glad. The web site was very much a joint effort and many of the best ideas were yours. But it was wonderful to be able to help. If you decide you want to add functionality, just shout.

Launch of Wisdom Trove
It's been a lot of work but every minute has been worth it. I've learned so much from this project, in terms of both life wisdom and web development skills. Hopefully others will also find the site useful.

Farewell to Danielle
Danielle from work is moving to Melbourne to work from our newly established Melbourne office. Her farewell was very festive and much Sangria was drunk (we were at a Spanish Tapas restaurant.) Working with Danielle has been a real pleasure (she is one of the best designers I have ever had the pleasure to work with) and we will miss her a lot.

The Race that stops a Nation
Today was Melbourne Cup and as usual, Australia came to a grinding halt. It amazes me how horse racing mad the Aussies are when it comes to this annual event. Not that everyone watches the race - its more an excuse get out of work, dress up and get totally pissed. Not to mention a bit of gambling too. Our bosses were in Melbourne, watching the race first hand. The rest of us went for a slap up buffet lunch on the harbour. Here I am with Kate Best and Kate Bofman.
And here's Mark who is leaving us in a couple of weeks. Very sad.

Some facts about the Melbourne Cups

Some facts about the Melbourne Cups
- Started in 1861 (Melbourne was only discovered in 1833)
- The cup is always held on the first Tuesday in November
- The race is 3200 meters long
- Since 1877, the day of the Melbourne Cup has been declared a public holiday in Victoria. Its a virtual holiday everywhere else in the country too.
- In 1930, the famous Phar Lap (some would say the best racing horse to ever live) won the Cup as the shortest priced favourite in the history of the race at 11/8.
- The Melbourne Cup trophy is a stunning 18 carat gold trophy valued at $80,000.
- The fastest time for the race is 3 minutes, 16.3 seconds. That's an average speed of 59 km per hour!
