The Nitronworks Blog One Year Anniversary!
Today we celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the Nitronworks Blog and Wow! I'm not sure whether or not I expected to still be doing this one year on but I know that I hoped I would be. A year is a long time and soooo much has happened in that time. Two of the largest things that have so far happened in my life happened in 2005. They were finishing a 14 year project known as school and the second was the founding of Cyber Management Ltd and the starting of Portal Metafisica. The Project known as sleepy ninja had been in my mind for a long time. In fact, to see just how long lets take a quick look back in time.
That's what I love so much about Blogging; you can see what you were doing a long time ago with little effort and look at how your mind has changed in that time. Here is an excerpt from the very first post ever, here on The Nitronworks Blog
23rd January 2005
“..... Other things that I will have to do between now and the exams are the Extended Essay and finishing off my TOK essay. The extended essay is a 4,000 word long essay. The research question that I have chosen is "What are the key success factors for entering the cyber café business in the UK in 2005?"
Just 3 months to go... But they will be seriously cramped ones, so I'm going to sign off now and work on my extended essay.
- James”
That gives a good idea of just how long sleepy ninja has been in the works and, not only did I complete an essay on the subject, but I also completed what I said I was going to do in the essay title! :-P How cool is that?! ;-) and as The Nitronworks Blog has been going for a full year now I thought I would share some cool statistics about it and Nitronworks as a whole.
1.In 2004 500 unique people visited Nitronworks.com, in 2005 the number of people who had been to Nitronworks was 6 times that amount, 3,000 people.
2.The number of sessions in 2005 was just under 15,000.
3.Over 2,000 people have been sent to Nitronworks from other sites and on average each one has returned 6 times.
4.Nitronworks is listed as number one in Goggle for Nitronworks and Sleepy Ninja, is number 3 for James Coombs (we'll see about that) and number 50 for Space entrepreneurship (ditto).
5.The Nitronworks Blog now has 80 posts with more then 23,000 words.
6.Nitronworks as a whole holds page rank value of about 200 PR.
7.The record number of comments on a Nitronworks Blog post was on Thursday, December 15, 2005 with 8 comments.
8.In 2005 the Google Bot has visited Nitronworks over 1,200 times.
Here's to the next year and may my world change even more in it! :-D

James, may u get everything in life just the same way u kissing every opportunity that comes around. Nice to know that your one year of blogging is now complete and you are heading into the other. My friend, being as an author only thing i can suggest you at this time is never to give up because of boredom and never ever leave things reluctantly. May your name sunshine in the world of entrepreneurship. Jesus bless U James.
Josh Nigam
and tell me what was the essay all about? seems that you are too busy these days. Have a great luck and enjoy the new entrepreneurship feasts this year too..
Break more records and be invincible. That's what i have gotta say..
4.Nitronworks is listed as number 3 for James Coombs (we'll see about that).
Hate to bust your bubble, but it appears to have been dropped to number 4 now.
Other than that, good job on everything else.
Great work James. Always knew you would do it, hopefully my veture after a year can be as successful as you.

Your business sounds amazing! I never doubted that you would be successful... the growth that has happened here is incredible!
Great job!
Hurray for you James. Just a question have you got everything undercontrolled and checked? Hopefully you are not letting anything get pass you. Don't make the same mistake twice.

Wow, just found your blog after absent mindedly googlizerificating (lol)and i have to say it is quite inspiring.It certainly shows the work you have put into the fantastic endeavor that is Portal Metafisica.I've always gone with the view that I am to young to make anything of myself but this truly is encouraging, considering you are 18!!!!??!! *confused face* etc, i honestly thought you were younger :D o well. Glad the 360 is up and running by the way, and I hope you are enjoying your new found Guild Wars addiction. I still can't believe the lowly town of Penrith has been blessed with such godlike entertainment facilities.
Looking forward to the CS:S tourniment. I think this clan has quite a promising future, seens as it essetially has a county-wide "catchment area" if you will.
Have fun with Battlefield 2 ;-),
Mevs
James,
Wow congrats Mevs showed me your site and its great. Hard to think that its only been a year since PM was just a twinkle in your eye (sarcastic face...). Anyway considering you are only 18 its incredible, who need GCSEs or whatever! Also the fact that we can now come and play on thursday and friday lunchtimes is BRILLIANT and if you dont tell our teachers we're eating in town then we may keep coming :P. Seeing as i cant be in your CSS clan i think you should have a WoW guild set up or something that would be cool instead of my current (and slightly boring guild-pwnography) endquote! And get those computer parts in stat, i need a graphics card/everything :)
Good luck in the future and i will see you tomorrow yo hopefully use all 7 hours left on my acoount and then i can buy some more (crazed spinning face!). Thankyou for bringing such a wonderfull place to the "place" that is Penrith
Ben/Leviticus
P.s i DID NOT know you slept in the centre when your dad was in Bath, you should let us too so our parents cant take us home :D
and if you ever need a live band...
also like the way your cartoons have claws for hands and feet :D
Congrats James. Awesome work man!
