Planning and more Planning…

Well, it’s been hectic getting back to the full-time at the home office grind, but finally back in full swing of productivity. Been making notes on current projects to organize my thoughts, and working on getting some ideas/notes laid out on the Himpressive theme that was lost a few months back in preparation to get that started again soon, and also on the Himerus Inc. corporate site that is getting a full makeover.

I hope to have something worth a crap to write about soon. Maybe some jQuery tutorials would be nice.

 

Familiar road to travel again…

After lots of careful consideration, I’ve recently left the security of the last full-time position I was in, and have decided to move back into the unknown for a while, and take life as it comes. The daily stresses of the 9-5 were eating me alive, and I felt it was time again to return to taking contract work, and expanding the web company. There’s always the chance that another full-time position comes up that may be attractive enough to pull me from the work at home / telecommute lifestyle, but for now, it’s going to be an adventure!!

I think that with this move, I’ll be able to really jump back into my blogging, a few personal projects, and continue to move forward in a good direction with my skills. Learning jQuery over the past couple of months has really expanded my capabilities as a UI Developer as well as the extensive experience I have with PHP/MySQL application architecture. Combining these elements along with a now almost anal CSS/Semantic XHTML layout structures, I’ve reached a point where I feel that I can literally “do anything”.

I’m hoping for the best, and we’ll see where the contract labor takes me, and what offers arise in the next weeks/months, and take it from there. Until then, it’s nose to the grindstone for me, and finishing up some work for the previous employer on a contract basis, and continued research & development into my own personal projects.
