It’s coming time to do a blog/site shuffle and for me to get back to working on my websites again. I have been on parental leave now since my son was born on September 29th and my leave thru EI is soon coming to an end - I have this week left.
This domain has always been slated for a business website and I will be slowly but surely turning this domain into that over the next couple of months. I will be touching up posts from here and re-posting them onto my purpleorange.ca website where I plan to talk about business and technology, and phpark.com where I plan to talk about programming and PHP. It is my intention to split the two sites into technical and non-technical.
It has been nice being able to clear my head about what it is I want to do with my career. I have come to realize over the last few months while meeting other Internet and open-source enthusiasts, that I do enjoy what I’m doing - just not in the environments I have been exposed to. It has helped me come to terms with the fact that I’m an entrepreneur that just does NOT have the capacity to deal with the “enterprise” and culture of the corporate world. I am about win/win situations, helping others solve their problems, being supportive rather then oppressive and view “competitors” and co-workers as resources rather then the enemy.
I am mostly interested in working on my own projects while tending to my son during my partners school hours at UBC Okanagan. I have enough money to get me through to the Fall and if I can’t make a living with my projects, I will have to get a part-time job. The heat is being turned up on me to start cranking out these ideas I have to see which of them will fail, which will be successful and learning from both cases.
The time is fastly approaching for our upcoming relocation to Kelowna on May 29th. We have been crammed in our one-bedroom apartment here in East Vancouver since our son was born which leaves me with little to no productivity. I have always been one that at the end of the work day, would clean up my desk before leaving for home and rarely had anything other then a notepad and pen on my desk. My creativity cannot flow when I am working in clutter.
I am really looking forward to getting moved and settled into my new office so that I can get some long overdue work completed.
