    Freelance Friday 025 – Sept 28 2018

    by

    Well today I move into the new house. Best part is an office all to myself and 300/300 internet, which is only now becoming affordable/common for houses in Canada. The biggest struggle I’ve been having lately is visualizing all my work. As in, how do I see what’s on my plate for all projects, both…

    Running your business is like a 50k race and Finding Nemo

    by

    Sept 15th I ran my second 50km race, commonly called an Ultra Marathon because it’s longer than a marathon. Unfortunately this year I fell off a cliff at the end of July and messed up my ankle. That meant I was coming in to the race with two months of mostly no training. I had…

  • If you’re wondering about new iPhones

    by

    Then The Sweet Setup has a review. I still don’t think that the new iPhones provide much value though. Certainly not over $1000 of value. So that leaves me maybe looking at Android. Unfortunately it seems I may have to spend a bunch just to get a phone where they keep up with security updates…

    Taking Full WebPage Screenshots in iOS

    by

    Some of the writing I do requires full page screenshots of webpages. It was reasonably easy to get these on macOS in any number of ways, but it took me a while to figure it out in iOS. It’s funny it took so long because the solution was really simple. Like many iOS solutions, taking…

    Professional Jobs are Less Secure Than Everyone Told Us

    by

    According to Global News, spending a bunch of time in University or College, then doing a bunch of low paid/maybe unpaid internship work will not mean that you get the reward you were promised. Whether you are a teacher, an engineer, or social worker, it doesn’t matter you’re more likely to be a contract worker…
