More great news! I've been offered the chance to take over the software I was developing for my former employer, including receiving 100% of the profits!

Entrepreneur

In light of recent events, I've been back on the job market as of late. I got a callback the other day, but what I'm really excited about is the idea of doing personal tech support. I enjoy doing my part to improve human-computer relations, especially since I can give a much better price than Geek Squad and I care that the individual actually learns and enjoys the experience rather than just receiving payment. I've been thinking about how I can direct customers to my friends or specific businesses too. I already know someone into the hardware who builds and sells computers from my job at stream, and he has contacts who are into server and network management. I'm going to try sketching up some flier designs tonight and kick some out tomorrow. I'll hang them up in the local area and at ASU & MCC. I'm hoping to get good exposure through word of mouth too. I'm also going to try and make myself available for personal software development. I've built Kahrheena a time clock program in Java and I'm going to throw a GUI on it and make it double-clickable then begin distributing it to a wider basis. It's been really good practice for me and I'm looking forward to building a solid portfolio. Basically, if you or someone you know has any tech questions or issues, please let me know! If you have any need or ideas for computer programs, also let me know!
