 A few month ago I got started in an interesting rebirth/renewal/upgrade of an existing company, UtiliSol. That's now become a new business formed by Joe Gordon of UtiliSol and myself (GeekLabs) called UtiliFlex. Working with Joe's been a pleasant reminder of what it's like to work with a competent experienced professional with focus and a non-nonsense let's do business right attitude. It's stupid little things like UPS dropping off an Aeron chair for me, ordering two of gadget's it'd be nice to have one of as well as some fantastic work with clients, contracts, proposals.. good stuff for both parties.
We're coming out of the gate with a bang, some big projects in the works, and a pleasant surprise; we got nominated for the Chattanooga Technology Council's Early Innovator Award. The press and attention is both welcome, and distracting at the same time. The price of fame.
Anyway, this is also a time sink, While we've hired some talent for key parts, I've got to get and keep my head down on what we are now calling "Juice 2.0" - which is more than just software, it's a whole collection of systems working well together.
Nancy and I went out to a play last night.. and I turned down two projects bumping into people. It's an interesting world out there, why is it when you are busy, they come out of the woodwork, and when you -need- paying work, it's scarce. The Murphy's law of freelancing?
Well, I think my freelancing days are over for a while. :)
