Good news! I’m now officially under contract to provide web services for a local startup company. I’ll be developing their web site, integrating community-based features, facilitating their social media presence, and developing systems for them. This is just a small contract, part-time work, but it will lead to bigger and better things. And I’m getting paid, which has it’s advantages too.

Progress is still being made with my other ventures. I’m still in the interview process with another firm for something that will be closer to full time work once it commences. I’m reviewing their code, looking for fixes to some of their bugs, and should be speaking with both their mobile developer and marketing head next week. This opportunity is an exciting one, with lots of big data potential, and could revolutionize the way many, many, people interact with their online presences. I can’t go into details yet, but rest assured I will be spreading the word about this company should we come to terms and move forward together.

Unfortunately, my school work is falling by the wayside a bit. I haven’t had the time lately to keep up on my lectures and quizzes because I’ve been head down and working away. This isn’t a super big deal, as I’m not taking the courses for grades, but both do provide useful information that I can use in my business going forward, so they are still a priority to keep up on. Say hello to late night study sessions again! 🙂

In my “copious free time”, I’m also considering starting a consulting business for several reasons, and am just waiting for a few more things to fall into place before I commit to it. You’ll be hearing about that one too, when the time is right. I’ve already developed a substantial Twitter following for it, so it looks like there’s a lot of interest in that arena thus far. Good stuff.

That’s all I have time for right now, stay tuned for future updates – and thanks for visiting. 🙂
