My first 2 weeks as a self-employed consultant

I started as self-employed full-time consultant on October 18 – and today the first 2 weeks has passed. So how did they go?

I have started working on my first XPages project for my first client. The project is currently in the design and early implementation phase and I have therefore been to a design workshop with Supermouse who is responsible for the information architecture and UI design. I find it very interesting to learn more about XPages and to apply it to a real project.

I was invited as special guest to IBM Hackday 8 at IBM in Copenhagen. It was a fun day with a lot of mobile app discussions including looking at Titanium Appcelerator and how it can be used to develop iPhone and Android applications.

I went to my first all-day Notesnet.dk monthly meeting – and it was nice to meet many of the Notesnet.dk members. I hope to have the opportunity to work with some of my Notesnet.dk colleagues someday on shared projects.

I took part in the recording of episode 24 for one of my favorite podcasts: This Week in Lotus. It was great fun to record the podcast together with Stuart McIntyre, Darren Duke and Joyce Davis.

All in all, I have enjoyed the first 2 weeks as self-employed consultant at PHL Consult.

The Danish Lotus user group DanNotes is hosting its 44th conference on November 3rd and 4th, 2010.

The agenda consists of IBM and IBM Business Partner presentations on November 3rd and of development and administration tracks on November 4th. The developer track is hosted by Carl Tyler from Epilio while the administration track is hosted by Chris Miller (I do Notes) from Connectria.

I am participating in the conference as a member since PHL Consult is a member of DanNotes. I have created a LinkedIn event for the conference. Will I see you there?

Welcome to the opening of PHL Consult

It’s October 18! Today is my first day as a full time consultant in my own company PHL Consult – where I am going to primarily work with Lotus Notes and Domino based solutions. Feel free to take a look around the new offices 🙂

For my first project for a client I am going to work with XPages. I look forward to the challenge of both learning a lot more about XPages and of implementing the web site for the client.

Let me know if I can provide you with my assistance. Thanks.
