My first 2 weeks as a self-employed consultant

Posted on by

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.

Independent member of the Danish Notesnet group

I am pleased to say that my Lotus Notes/Domino consultancy company PHL Consult has been accepted as an independent member of the Danish Notesnet group of Lotus specialists. The members of Notesnet are all self-employed consultants working with Lotus products in general – and for most of the members with Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino in particular. I am sure that being member of this group will benefit me in some way or the other now that I start on my excisting new adventure.

Before being accepted as member I was invited to the group’s September meeting by the chairman of the group John Dalsgaard of Dalsgaard Data. I enjoyed being part of the meeting and now look forward to lots of interesting meetings in the future.
