So how's the job situation, anyway, Rose?
I'm contracting now, getting leads off CraigsList and concentrating on short-term assignments. The time is coming for me to make it into a business ... question is, do I make it part of our existing business, or make it a separate, independent concern?
These contracts are fun. I did one back in December where I had to write a C# "proof-of-concept" app that took streaming input from a webcam and displayed that in the same window as a playback of recorded video.
This newest contract was for a quickie revamp of a ecommerce website, changing it from shopping cart to strictly informational. And when I say quickie, I mean I started working on it last Friday, with a drop-dead finish date of Monday morning. It was VB, ASP, and HTML,and it's caused me to pull more than one all-nighter this last week.
I like the variety, but it would also be kinda nice to have a semi-permanent gig. This last company mentioned additional work on another of their websites ... we'll see what they say after I give them this week's invoice ...!
