By day I am a web developer and all-around 'puter weenie. My platform of choice is LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl), though I can get along just fine in a Windoze environment.
I prefer freelancing because:
-
it allows me to work with many different clients
it forces me to work with many different languages, standards, techiniques and applications
it allows me the flexibility to work when I'm feeling the most creative
it compels me to approach solutions to problems from different perspectives
it allows me to work in my underwear if I so choose
my office can be as messy or as clean as my frame of mind at the moment
I do not have to go out and play dodge 'em cars during rush hour
my lint collection is close by at all times.
I play guitar and sing a little, and have been known to torment audiences all over the place with my burnt offerings when the mood strikes me. I usually play by myself, but can be found playing with friends in obscure, strangely named little ensembles.

Internet Exploder does a terrible job of handling stylesheets here in MySpace. If you want to see your (or my) profile as intended, you should use a real browser like Mozilla Firefox or Opera .
