I blogged earlier about a great, new client I am currently working for. I have been here about a month (already?) and this project is really interesting to me. I am learning lots and lots of new things. I am biking to work every day, so the location is a definite bonus.

In addition, I am persuing my MCSD for .NET. I have an exam scheduled for one week from today, and I am confident I will be ready for it. I will make the final decision later this week whether to postpone it or not. But at this moment, I intend to study hard and take the exam on Tuesday.

Also, I have been getting a number of emails recently asking me to do some small programming side-projects. That's nice. I helped a client this past week fix a PHP site, and it looks like I might build a CMS site for him soon. xguru.com has had two or three other email requests for bids that might lead to some side work for me or another developer.

And today I was contacted by an editor at McGraw-Hill Osborne about possibly writing another book.

All in all, any complaints I had two weeks ago about having tons of free time and not enough to do are gone. It looks like I will be working 12 or more hours a day for the next two months!

By the way, is this a sign of something? Is there a boom going on in the economy, and people are slow to notice? There is definitely something up with all this work that is landing in my lap...
