Just because I'm not getting paid...

... doesn't mean I'm not finding plenty of work to do. What a busy week: Server upgrades at the office, still moving into the new house, and building web sites as always. It's been almost two months since I swore off paid jobs and I'm doing well with that. I've turned down a lot of jobs and have in turn had a lot more time for the projects that matter to me.

One great example is that I was able to build this site: Open Airwaves Design, for my younger brother, the artist, musician, all around cool guy of the family.

I'm rather proud of this bit of web code not so much because it does anything impressive, but more because from the time I typed in the URL of my domain registrar to the time that I finished the site, only 35 minutes had passed.

This included cutting up photoshop images, writing a little bit of dynamic code to read the portfolio directory that he can upload pictures into, and even an interruption to answer a computer question.

In any event, I'm glad that I got to do this and I'm even happier that I don;t feel too burnt out to do these projects. I'm thrilled with my new years resolution so far and hope to keep the feeling going!
