I’ve started queuing up a lot of work, this is a good thing, it earns me food tokens. There is one small problem though.

If the sun comes up early in the morning it heats up the roof at the front of the house. This means the entire top floor feels like you are sitting underneath a radiator. This is just no good for working, it’s far too hot, a fan just blows hot air at you.

So now I’m trying to find an office with air conditioning, I only need a single room with a desk to put my… Continue reading →

I was contacted by somebody asking me to write for them a couple of weeks ago. They told me they had work for me every day and would pay me at the end of each day via PayPal.

I thought this was pretty ok, so I agreed and they sent me the first day of work. I completed it to a good standard and returned it. It then took 2 days before the client got around to paying me, I should have heard the warning bells then, considering they had told me they would pay each day.

It’s the Moon Set Party tonight, luckily this one is just up the road from me in Pirates Bar which is a damn good thing because I’m knackered.

We have really bad problems with the power on the island sometimes. It’s got a habit of going off without warning, often for long periods of time. This wasn’t a problem when I was using my laptop with GPRS over my cell phone for internet access. It’s a huge problem now I am using a desktop PC.

So I popped into our local (well only actually) PC shop the other day and ordered a UPS. It’s supposed to run my kit for up to 30 minutes. That’s ok, 30 minutes is plenty long enough to save what I am doing… Continue reading →

As I mentioned before, I’ve been pulling in a few small jobs from www.getafreelancer.com over the last couple of weeks. Only small stuff, one of the jobs was to write a 25 page technical report for an existing but unfinished website. They guy wanted the whole site described, a review of it’s current functionality and recommendations for fixing/completing it. Not a very fun job I agree and it was a pain in the neck having to draw so many process diagrams.He was very pleased with the results and has now asked me if I would be interested in taking on… Continue reading →
