That craving
For the last few months I've been sounding out a few old contacts and doing various bits of freelance development again after a years hiatus from doing anything serious. Some of the folks that have known me some years know that I ran a successful email system and was a happy freelancer for a long time. I also run a hosting endeavour at the moment. The hosting works, makes money and because of my experience as a systems admin is semi-trivial and doesn't really take up a lot of time.
The fact of the matter is that I don't want to up-scale it and the reason is it doesn't financially up-scale all that well due to competition (that I can't and won't try to compete with), I've been there before and frankly I'd rather not loose sleep. Also there would come a time when I would need to make a choice, a choice I'm not in the mood to make right now because of the current financial markets.
That said... after a conversation I had earlier, I'm craving. So thanks Jake, thanks a lot... no really :-)
Also, I managed to catch up with a few people I've not spoken to in nearly six years this evening; as it's the first time I'd logged on to MSN for probably that long. WIN.

I know what you mean - after a couple of years of apathy I have a bit of a craving to create something myself.
Oh, and I wish I'd taken you up on the hosting offer - the fuckers I went with are abysmal! ;)

Yep, I think it's about time again :-)
Man, you're joking, thought you were all good with the new host, what's the problems you're having? :-(

Database issues, slow response times, that kind of thing. The kind of crap you get when you're not on a dedicated server and they've put too many people on it.

Shitter. No luck with Customer support? or is it the usual fingers in ears job?
The offer is still there if you want it.
