#252Earlier quoted context omitted.
You are living the life Aaron
Thanks! Moving into contracting has been sort of a revelation for me. I'm working where I want to, when I want to, and—as long as I can respond to my clients in a reasonable timeframe—when I want to. The only 'downside' is that I don't know if I could ever go back into a traditional corporate environment at this point.
I had a really similar experience after I quit my corporate job. As a lot of people here have noted before, it's a lot easier to get into the startup mentality if you've left the corporate world and contracting works for you.
Anyway, congratulations!

#257Spent the day chipping away at log analysis, but using it as an excuse to get my hands dirty with freebase and mongodb. Now it's evening. I'm sitting alone in the office, becoming more alert as the temperature drops, thinking about the open data movement. Drafting something that might become a blog-post or an article, but mainly just as a framework to get my head around it all, and figure out where I fit in.

#259Being a business guy by day and teaching myself PHP by night using this tutorial: http://devzone.zend.com/article/627
I applaud your efforts, but those tutorials are old and crusty. Please get a good book or two.

Don't buy both, too much overlap. Just pick the one you like. The latter is long, but worth it. I've got more recommendations if you're interested.

#260I'm creating a log parser for yellowpages.ca with Redis.
oh, interesting. I wanted to use redis for log-parsing, but was scared by the prospect of keeping everything in ram. Ended up using mongodb instead, but I'd be interested to hear how you get on with redis.
