Morning thoughts

Morning, I’m drinking hot tea now and thinking of what makes me work 12 to 16 hours per day when required and still not makes me hate this work. So far it’s only per-hour payments at oDesk. Was working for 13 hours yesterday on same project and will work for some time today on it too, but it’s really nice that i didn’t lose any percent of my motivation to work on this project - like it happense with large (or rush one) projects started on other freelance sites with fixed payments.

My friends are probably online and playing “World of Warcraft: Wrath of Lich King”, however Blizzard didn’t added direct download for addon files yet, neither they’ve enabled CD-KEY purchase through account. That means i will work couple more weeks without any distractions to this highly addictive MMORPG. Possibly will get another work, related to WoW by this weekend - to design a WoW guild site, slice, put on Wordpress, integrate with EQDKP and PHPBB3. Should be interesting, waiting for customers’ final decision on my candidature for this task.

Freelance Trends 2008 - Titles

According to Google Trends:

Freelance Trends 2008 - Freelance Titles ranked by Google

Great attention to rights of freelancers from side of oDesk staff makes this service more and more popular with every single day. Even with RentACoder that has fully featured arbitration system - i’ve found it too complex. While majority of freelance auctions often stand protecting buyer’s point of view, oDesk makes proper arbitration, so in most of cases they are protecting interests of providers (freelancers) from being scammed, abused e.t.c.

More freelance-related trends to be analyzed soon…

Blogfolio v2

This is second version of my former blog plus portfolio previously hosted on this domain. After unsuccessful experience of assembling the team of professionals i’ve decided to continue solo freelancing. For now everything is empty here, but it’s a subject to get this blogfolio filled with works and receive attention from me, doing daily blogging.
