Barking Stapler

I’ve left Cambrian House to work full-time on my own company, Barking Stapler.

Over the next few months, I’m going to grow NearbyGamers into a business that can support me. Yes, I know it’s not a pretty site. The graphic designer who did the Barking Stapler site is now working on a facelift while I work on adding a great many features.

I expect entrepreneurship is going to be quite a ride, so I expect to start writing about it in addition to my usual technical posts. As usual, let me know if there’s any topics you’d like me to cover.

You’re already missed at CH, but you should know I do a little happy dance every time I use the widgetized WordPress template you made for me.

I know I’ve said this in the chat room before, but I want it to be public for when you get nice and rich…

Best of luck with NG, if you need a “street team” I’ll help you organize it.

Good luck. An essay I once read was comparing entrepeneurs with skilled wage workers and said to compare average incomes. Over ten years the wage worker get 100K per year. Over the same ten years the entrepeneur has a one in ten chance of making a million dollars. The average income is the same. Of course one would hope the entrepeneur figures out what is going on and improves his odds over time while the wage worker gets their COLA. I think the point was that it is all about how much risk you are comfortable with.

You might find of interest.

[...] I’m always excited to see company’s blogging about their progress, especially with development. I happened to see this post on the ROR Blog about Revolution Health. And here is their blog. Has some interesting things about their progress with Rails. Also, a friend of mine, Peter Harkins is starting his own company and is blogging about how he is using rails — good tips to be had there also. [...]
