Just wrote a medium long post about life, pressed the wrong button and voila… disparu….<\/p>\n

I think I was trying to say something about beinga freelancer, working on your own and spending more time trying to sell yourself than actually doing any real work. My conclusion is that that probably isn’t what I really want to be doing.
\nI’m thinking about taking a slightly longer contract, working full-time as a project manager or technical project manager. Try to challenge myself again, work in a team, on a project with a tangible target. Developp something, and make more money in the process. <\/p>\n

Although it feels really good to have an idea for a non-profit, working with interesting technology, tackling a real-world problem (the Digital Divide), it’s not going to pay my bills for quite some time. I need something else to do that brings in money. In the meantime, I need to develop the idea for our little Digital Divide project, look for funding, research and build up the necessary contacts. It’s a tough combination, but I see little choice but to try and combine full-time work with art-time idealism, no matter how naive or plain silly it sounds in my own ears. <\/p>\n

I hope to be able to tell you more about my idealism and specific plans soon. I just need to write it down \ud83d\ude42
\nThe good part about working on a non-profit is that you don’t have to worry about someone stealing your plans. In fact if I caould make someone steal my plans and implement them, that would be an almost perfect success. So no NDA’s, no lawyer talk, just plain old ideas and inspiration.
\nThe bad side of course is thatnon-profit, means non-profit.<\/p>\n

Hmmm… My grandfather just told me yesterday, that nobody should expect to be rich before they’re 40. Rich in terms of family, experiences, memories, love, and the ability to afford a good comfortable lifestyle. That gives me years to live out my idealist dreams, and then some more years to try and make the money. No hurries then. I’m cool!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
