Greetings All!

Today is a wonderful day.  There are a great many things that helped me to arrive at such a decision.

  • This is the first day for my new blog (short for “web-log“). 
  • The consulting business is taking off (it was never meant to be an extra income, just a way to be professional and certified while helping friends and family) and paying for itself now.
  • We have a good client base, and several users signing-up for long term support plans.  
  • A couple of websites that I’m designing are close to being done.
  • I have installed a user-forum, and it’s in place & working!  Clients can post their questions here publicly, and get a response in as short a time as possible. Later clients can benefit from the answers provided to earlier clients!

See?  I told you it’s a wonderful day!
