UPDATE: If you’ve registered before and wondered what happened, you were not rejected. You probably didn’t get the email automatically mailed to you by the bbs software (spam filtered, maybe).

Freelancing Forum

POSTED Thu Apr.13.2006 by Dave Seah UNDER Freelancing, Personal, Productivity

I’ve had many interesting conversations with people over the past few months, all revolving around the question: How Do I Become What I Want To Be?

Every once in a while I come across a company that appears to comply with client desires, yet doesn’t really address them directly. It strikes me as a bad way to interact with customers, but I don’t think it’s always on purpose. Overburdened project managers forget to followup, and the employees who are doing the [...]

2006 Strategy: Keeping My Money

POSTED Wed Feb.01.2006 by Dave Seah UNDER Freelancing

NOTE: this entry is the second part of another article: Converting Resolutions to Actions I did a poor job of managing my finances in 2005, and have racked up way more credit card debt than I anticipated.
