Back on Top Again



After a couple weeks of complete panic and working 16 hour days, my main cash cow client comes back to me today and says he's changed his mind and the requirements will be cut in half, making this a far easier project to pull off within 30 days, if not sooner. You see, I don't mind working for this client, but only on realistic terms. I'm also starting to hate working on very long projects because (a) the clients on those projects bitch about hours too much and (b) it eats up my flexibility to work on projects I actually enjoy.

Another client told me, as well, that he has a lucrative project for me and can even front me some money as soon as I'm ready to take it. Thank goodness for the falling dollar -- it's making all this possible.

I've also had a lot of success lately with an HHO Generator, which is a device you put in your vehicle to increase your gas mileage. We're hoping to get about 15 to 30mpg more with this thing very soon. We've already achieved 8mpg. Don't you just love it when you can stick it to the oil companies and keep more of your hard-earned cash in your pocket? I do.

Another direction I'm taking is to write a CMS for one of my existing clients. This is great because to me a CMS really needs to be a plugin to an existing site, not something that becomes the entire lousy framework of a site.
