I've started freelancing with Friday, as a planner helping them with one of their larger clients. It is quite different to working on my own, but also different from working in a company full time. I'm back in an office with everyone working on the same thing and I'm part of that too. I can feel the pull in one direction. Yet, it is not my work in the same way that I have with Talis, Solderpad or other clients. It is good fun, challenging work and a change from the writing I have been doing of late for that other secret client.
I like the derivation of the word freelance. It harks back to medieval times, when a knight who was not bound to a noble, could offer his services as a free lance.
Looking now towards the future, I have meetings with a couple of potential to probable cycling clients at the end of the month in Birmingham, which I'm quite looking forward to and half a dozen other potentials who are coming out of summer slumber I hope.
Lastly, you can buy my book, Building Social Web Applications, at a 50 percent discount, direct from O'Reilly, this week. They have a Back to School Special, if you use code: B2SDEAL.
