Well, a week or so after getting my VPN up and running I’ve found myself out on the road at a very large client. Attempting to put my newly created VPN to good use has yielded some problems though. It turns out that I didn’t set up the WINS or DNS server properly when I…

After nearly a week of trial and error, I finally have a working VPN up and running from my new office. I can get in, access other computers, do my thing, and everything else I need to do using just the Windows VPN client. It doesn’t sound nearly as impressive now that it’s over. But…

Well, I’ve finally transferred what I think are all of the entries from my old blog into the new one. For those of you who don’t know, SubText is an offshoot of the original .Text project. I don’t know all the details, but apparently, after the .Text project was abandoned, it was taken up again…

I’m working on hiring another full time employee, because basically there’s too much to do, and too little time to do it. Yes, I’m that busy and not having additional staff is actually hurting profitability at this point. In other news, I caught this little tidbit earlier today about my old company Clearwire. I can only…

I feel like I’ve sinned pretty hard. I know I’m posting this a week late, but as of 6/6/6, I was the ‘proud’ owner of a new Macbook Pro. My old laptop was quickly dying on me, and I really didn’t want to have to explain to my client why I wasn’t using my laptop…

In recent years, I’ve been tempted. Seriously tempted by what many of my peers would consider to be “the dark side”. I’m not talking about “the force”. I’m talking about an operating system. For going on close to a decade, my buddy Andrew Welch, owner of Ambrosia Software has been tantilizing me with all of…

The last two weeks have been pretty harrowing. I’ve been clocking in at around 80+ hours/week and it’s likely to continue for another week. They say it takes hard work to build a business. Unfortunately, I’m just making money. You have no idea how strange it is to say that.

*sigh* On Monday of this week, Eric Sink offered a coupon for Vault purchases in the month of May. If I’d only waited another week before purchasing the extra Vault licenses, I could have saved myself 20% on them. And I didn’t actually need to purchase them for another 2 weeks. Ah well. Maybe he…

I really couldn’t believe my eyes when I read this one. I saw this article listed on Google News this evening, and couldn’t help but read it. As if any real experts would have ever thought that a Mac was immune to a virus. Perhaps that’s where my intense dislike of self-proclaimed experts comes from.…

Somewhere between signing my second and third contractor agreement, I didn’t realize that I had been in business on my own for six months already. I guess since things are on the upswing, I wasn’t really paying attention. Six months later, and still in the black. Not a bad spot to be in. Not bad…
