OK,
\nSo I’ve started this company called Mostly<\/font>Harmless<\/font>.<\/p>\n

I’m in it with my friend Jens. He’s a Java programmer and I’m an allround, generalist techie.
\nSo my dream was to do something interesting, be my own boss, and decide for myself how rich I need to be \ud83d\ude42
\nI don’t really need to be very rich!<\/p>\n

At the moment Jens is off working on a Content Management System for a company called prey4<\/a>.
\nI haven’t been doing a lot since returning from Africa<\/a> about 2 months ago.<\/p>\n

But I’m working on a few projects:<\/p>\n

I really want to keep working in the Digital Divide area, that Im was introduced to by GeekCorps<\/a>, so I’ve been fidgetting with a plan for a sort of community for people trying to work with IT and Communication issues in the developing world. Nothing has really come of it yet, except the idea and form is taking shape in the back of my head, and I’ve used some of my contacts to try and see if the idea is realistic.<\/p>\n

I’m talking with a former colleague of mine, who now runs a succesful business<\/a> in the Mobile Internet arena. He wants me to help him analyze the market and get the right partnerships going to sell a piece of middleware they’ve built to make it easier for people to build SMS applications. Maybe I’ll do that for the next few months, because while the pay is not too good, it’s definitely in the area I want to bve working with, oh and I told you I really don’t need much money \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A few other former colleagues of mine are involved in trying to describe and market a specific SMS application, which should be awesome in connecion for things like the Roskilde Festival and Gastonbury. A sort of real-life physical community via the Mobile Phone.<\/p>\n

I’m also distributing Jens’ and my CV’s as far and wide as possible in the Danish IT\/Internet industry, to see if we can’t get something interesting to do.<\/p>\n

That’s definitely not everything, but it gives you an idea of what’s going on at Mostly<\/font>Harmless<\/font>.<\/p>\n

In the meantime I spent a few days lounging around in parks working on my sun-tan, I’m becoming quite adept at playing Worms World Party and FIFA2001, and I try and keep in touch with lots of friends.<\/p>\n

I’ve taken up kayaking together with Signe, and that’s a great work-out and a sport were you get close to some of Denmarks more beautiful natural scenery.<\/p>\n

Oh, and there’s a lot more to tell, but at the moment, I’m not sure where to start, except to say, that I’m back here and I’ll definitely give it yet another shot.<\/p>\n

See you around<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
