I had a lull
I had a lull in my freelancing schedule this week. I've been pretty busy lately providing software consulting and programming to mid-sized businesses. Right now I'm doing:
- A perl-based intranet with an oracle database backend to provide several document management and database reports to a very large team of bank employees. The system handles authentication, different access levels, and also dynamic creation of pdf and excel spreadsheets so they can receive their reports in a variety of formats.
- A php-based portal tool to enable a large number (tens of thousands) of musicians to market themselves through a home-page-creation wizard. It's basically a website builder with lots of forms to help them do the easy stuff like upload images, choose different layout styles, etc. It uses MySQL as the backend database
- Maintaining my own java-servlet based creative writing technology - it is on a private site now but it will relaunch. It uses postgresql as the backend.
- Setting up my new webhosting service for business clients. I will be their contact for adding new services to their websites.
- Various web-services hacking, from XML-RPC to RSS.
What I'm hoping to land is one more recurring gig either with a DIY project interested in self-publishing, music, web payments, or anything else that helps the "little guy" be creative, or, something to keep my programming muscles toned on larger-scale projects, preferably a multi-tier java-based project. Stuff similar to what I'm already doing is always welcome, though.
