There are many reasons why working from home can be awesome. No commuting in rush hour traffic, flexible hours (if you find the right gig), your family is right outside the door. But those same reasons can be some of the most difficult obstacles to overcome.
Today marks the first day of Cucumbertown being my only focus. Up until now it had been a nights/weekends thing while I worked full-time at No Thirst Software. But we need to buckle down and release like crazy as momentum picks up.
Mike Wolfe, aka mrwolfe00, 1/3 of the BrewTrackr team, recently attended the 25th anniversary of Stoudt’s Brewery this past weekend and had a great time. Here he is with Stoudt’s owner, Ed Stoudt.
BrewTrackr is something I’ve been working on for the better part of the year. I’ve been using it to teach myself a bit of PHP, MySQL, and CodeIgniter (a PHP framework). But it’s finally launched – in a private beta for the time being – and it’s very exciting.
I’ve spent probably the past 6 months working on a project that, in relation to everything else I’ve done, is huge. But after all this time I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (for a v1.0 launch at least). Just a few smaller features left that shouldn’t be terribly time consuming.
Maybe I should take it as a sign of success, but I’m a little too upset to be happy about that right now. While searching for a WordPress theme for a client I came across this one called “cssfever”. It looked quite familiar.
Yesterday I polished off and submitted [my first Tumblr theme][1] – Simple Things. It’s something that has been in the works (more or less) for a couple weeks.
