BLOG

I’m starting another Get Clients Now! cycle and blogging about it on my Coached By Jeff blog. I’m trying to beef up the amount I have at my ideal consulting rate and hoping to pull some extra work to bring some help on. I’m hoping to balance out my consulting vs. product development and hoping to get the extra work through subs to help even things out.

Finally finished editing the last two episodes from the Brandizzle series for BDDCasts. Those will hopefully be released very soon. We have a bunch of ideas for some more casts, and it’ll be nice to get back to production instead of post for a change.

I’m entertaining the idea that there’s life other than TextMate, and Tweetie for Mac, but that’s most of the reasoning behind the vim links.

Interesting tidbits from around the web

• Anonymous Pro – another programming font, one I hadn’t seen in a lot of the “this is the best font evar” posts, I’m not a fan, but I hadn’t seen it so maybe one of you might like it.
• Ranking tech companies by revenue per employee – Say what you want, these guys are having a great run, this is one of DHH’s arguments for sheer numbers (Foo makes a billion dollars, Bar has 5000 employees, etc). It’s a great metric.
• Autotest and Vim integration
• Startup Lessons Learned – All the videos, was supposed to be a really good conference, on my “to watch list”.
• Upgrading Restful Authentication Plugin for Rails 3 – If you roll that way
• Gitti – Another git client for OSX. It’s in beta so I’m guessing they’ll charge eventually. I’m still pretty happy with a fork of gitx.
• Eucalyptus – Yeah, I know, iBook on the iPad does the whole page flip thing, still gorgeous to see on the iPhone.
• markupslicer – kind of a web lite version of Dr. Nic’s install_theme gem.
• casein – another in a long line of rails CMS’
• qlassik – cool font in a theme I installed for the local High School’s robotics team’s web site. Links later, I’m moving them to wordpress, it’s just too easy for people to use.
