Full Steam Ahead

Or should I say, Full Steam Ahead at Home, Two Mighty Steps Back, at Work….
On one hand I’m happy as hell, I’m making huge progress on one of my home projects which is great for a few reasons. Firstly, I’m actually getting some personal work done, which is good as I’m creating a hobby, as opposed to the endless nights spent downloading new TV shows to watch while drowning myself in wine (and cognac). Secondly, I can just feel already, this last week or so of doing approximately two hours work a night has already started in the process, improving my self motivation to do these things that I really want to do, but never get around to it.
Building on from my previous post where I spoke about doing extra work at home (both personal, and freelance), I’m hoping to eventually establish myself, and in doing so, get my name out, make some more money and hopefully generate some passive income on the side. That’s the plan anyway, now I just need to put these thoughts into fruition and get it out to a point where I can provide a service for others.
Unfortunately, the workload at the office has dried up slightly for a week or so, so I’ve taken (what I consider) a step back and am working on a PHP application. This is marginally annoying, as I haven’t done any PHP work for what must be approximately five years now, and also because I didn’t particularly like it in the first place. But like all things, I’ll use it as a bit of good experience, and may even enjoy myself too. A chance to branch out slightly, perhaps, and should definitely kill the inevitable boredom of doing the same work day in, day out.
