Well I wouldn’t ever do things which *I* felt were weird….
So please tell me what you feel is weird about me – fire away I will not delete or screen *any* comments howsoever weird they may be from my point of view 😉

And then…
And then there are times when every thing falls into just 2 categories
#1 Been there, done that
#2 Not worth doing…
Cats, dogs and no rains
It has been cloudy everyday over the past week but has not rained… it is threatening to get hot and humid again.
Again the feeling of restlessness is growing, that gnawing to do something new! As you grow older why is it that finding new dreams becomes so difficult? Everything is filtered thru “rational thinking”…
In the very least I want to start writing again, technical as well as non technical stuff but my grammar has gone to dogs and the cat has got my tongue 🙁
Failure of your business model is not my problem
“Failure of your business model is not my problem” It is sad to tell a client this but that however does not mean that I do not understand business or business process, The following in no particular order are my few common sense guidelines
I am outright wary of clients who wants my opinion on their business model/idea. Dude I had a wonderful business idea and I am following it to the hilt right now! We wanted to be and are a “PHP sweat shop”
I prefer to take clients who are taking their existing brick and mortar business to the web – these clients usually last with you for a long time.
I know that clone of a previous big idea is not going to make it as the *next big idea“ however these clients have money to throw around – if you are ready to let go of the last installment of your payment take them.
I refuse to give discounts on my rates to a new client – these clients are usually troublesome, we however give a lot of non-billed hours to our old clients and they are thankful for it
I know that a proposition that is ”too good to be true“ usually isn’t – development in lieu of partnership/profit sharing/extra money later is always a loss making deal – want to do free development? do it for free software, the returns are worth their weight in gold (no that is not a joke or a flame bait)
I am wary of propositions which begin with ”We are looking for a long term relationship with a development company having strong technical knowhow“ – Good deals come with a detailed project(s) RFC documents
P.S. I have most probably written all of the above somewhere before – just cant remember where
Not anything…. in particular!
I seriously need to invest some time in not trying to do something all the time and enjoy that – not doing anything…. besides it has just been like this since morning!
Had a great barbecue party yesterday evening – some friends had come over with lots of Surmai fish, Jumbo prawns and chicken, not to forget some excellent wine. So while Aasim enjoyed hard rock with the girls we adults sat around the fire cooked and fed them. Yeah we hogged as well!
