An RSS Reader With Filters
I’ve been using my RSS Aggregator for several years to follow websites that interest me, but I’ve also used it to find new projects and work opportunities by having it automatically search and compile job postings from craigslist and other job boards. In both of these cases, but especially the latter, there can be quite […]
Read MoreUsing An RSS Reader to Find Me Freelance and Contract Jobs
Since this is my second time being a freelance/contract worker, it’s my goal to eliminate, or at least reduce the impacts of the feast-famine cycle that seems to be pretty common in this world of being your own boss (or perhaps more accurately, the manager of multiple bosses).

I have been thinking of some pretty big things for the site recently however, and I felt that an updated […]
