Every once in a while I really want to to the standard blogger thing – you know, lift some text from a site and make semi-witty comments about it. Â But I never quite get to it, and I don’t really have a place to dump that sort of stuff.
Well, now I do – it all goes in the Junk Pile now. Â Well, Midnight Ryder’s Junk Pile to be more specific. Â I have no idea how often I’ll bother updating this – but I PLAN on updating it at least once a day on weekdays (I’m gonna pass on blogging on Shabbat, and Sunday I plan on spending doing other stuff that’s more important, and away from the computer 🙂 Â And of course expect my usual almost-but-not-quite-witty commentary on the stuff I post here 🙂
First thing I’m gonna post amuses me considerably, but it’s not complete. Â “Should I Work For Free” gives you a nice flowchart to help determine if you should or shouldn’t work for free. Â I’m in violation of this flowchart quite often – and I’m fine with that. Â However, there’s also a lot of work I don’t do for free, no matter how nicely someone asks. Â Let’s face it, I’m about as broke as you can get some months so taking on free projects causes even worse cash flow problems – if the project is interesting, I’ll absorb myself into something that doesn’t pay the bills!
But now, there’s this handy flowchart I can hang on the wall and refer to it! Â Of course, I’ll keep doing free stuff about the same way I did before – I’ve got a pretty flat learning curve when it comes to that sort of thing. 😉 Â (Interesting note: Â I applaud the author of this flowchart for doing it all in HTML and CSS rather than a big honkin’ graphic. Â It loads fast, and it translates into other languages easily. Â Kinda cool to see it in Chinese or Hebrew 🙂
