Next challenge : work

June 12, 2007

Along with going back to school, training for a double century, and a few other odds ‘n ends, I’ve come up with another way to challenge myself. I have gone back to being a contractor/consultant, shed the shackles of fulltime employment and jumped in with both feet.

It is going rather well, much better than the last time around, then again, the last time I tried this was in the middle of the “pop” sound being made by the .com bubble bursting. Things were falling down left and right as soon as I got a client they’d go out of business. etc.

The really great thing about all of this is that I am able to maintain my extravagant lifestyle ( ha ) yet free up some time for working on some of these other ideas that I have. I’m slowly putting together the final pieces of release 1 of Simply Alerts, and I’ve almost got the core logic done for a project I started this weekend that will eventually end up being a Ruby On Rails application.

I’m always on the lookout for more work so if you have any, know anyone who needs anything done, I can do it all, have them give me a call.
