Where I do this?

Hey ya’ll,

Some big news that I’ve hinted at for awhile now… I’ve gone freelance and am no longer full-time employed at MyBroadband.

I’ll still be doing a lot of work with MyBroadband including regular articles and hopefully helping out at events, but I can also take on other work, which has already started happening.

In addition to taking on coding projects and hopefully getting my name out there for speaking gigs, this also means that there is no ethical obstacle to me working on the commercial aspects of MEW anymore (should any opportunities arise).

It will hopefully also mean that I can write more for MEW in future.

If you’re wondering where I’ve been the last few weeks… this is where. Setting up your own thing ended up being more work than I thought it would be. Here’s my consultancy’s website (I need to work on making it generate a nice preview):

Since I have the business name, I’ll use it to bill the kind folks who have offered to pay for an ad spot on MEW. Of course I’ll keep my personal and business financials separate from MEW’s. When it makes sense we can look at spinning up a separate legal entity to handle MEW’s affairs.
