Ernest,
Have you found employment?
Last I heard you were starting your own business.
What's the story?
I've been working at Netapp as a permanent employee since August. It was the same company I was contracting with in February. It's nice to have the imaginary stability of a permanent job with benefits.
My partner and I got the business going. I got us a contract that would cover half our startup costs and provide us a base to grow from. My partner "failed to deliver" his part of the functionality that we sold. I'm still at a loss to explain this particular piece of prize ineptitude. Long story short, we succeeded in turning a promising system into a turd in record time. Now I'm sitting on a piece of decent technology, that requires both some competent web technology and a competent sales organization to drive it. It's just disgusting that two years of work can go from so much potential to pointless so quickly.
