I think I’m a consultant right now. That’s the only word for it. A small non-profit has hired me for two weeks to help them decide what to do with old computers, set up a network, help them plan a game they’re designing, and automate their backup system.

This temporary position happened to coincide with the host of their external sites, ValueWeb, merging with Hostway and moving their servers to a different city… and they claimed the machines would only be down 12-15 hours. It turned out to be over 3 days with no external site or company e-mail, but what’s the difference, really? I’m glad I’m not hosting a business with them, I’ll say that much.

While some of it’s frustrating at times, I’m getting to muck around with Applescript. Oh, and it pays the rent too!
