Whew - after a straining week, I think that I may actually be able to take an emotional breather today.
I've been working like crazy on my latest dating site www.single-sexy.com and have been running up against hurdles. Mainly this is due to my inexperience and finally I'm feeling that little bit of freedom that comes with learning.
I have successfully uploaded over 2,500 keywords for my dating site's campaign and very soon, I plan to switch on my advertisements.
Whew - what a relief! :-)
I'm starting to see that the toughest thing about working for yourself is that you have to be your own main source of encouragement, socializing, networking, etc. I think that the mental barriers may be more tough than anything else.
On a side note, my college reunion is coming up soon - can you believe it? I hope that I'm able to go and visit RPI. Here are a couple of the interesting classes that I took while I was there:
Advanced Manufacturing Lab (AML) - You work with a big team to design and manufacture products for paid sponsors. My team built 600 kaleidoscopes for our sponsors, Pratt & Whitney, BASF plastics, and Energizer. Before buiding the kaleidoscopes, we learned how to use all sorts of equipment, including: a CNC mill, a water jet machine, a coordinate measuring machine, an injection molding maching, a blow molding machine, a vacuum former, a thermal press, robots, a conveyor system, rapid prototyping, and all other sorts of dangerous industrial tools. Ha!
Laboratory Introduction to Embedded Control (LITEC) - You build a car that drives along a white strip of tape on the ground, by itself.
Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) - You work with a team to invent some new thing. My team made a home auto pollution tester.
Good ol' RPI. :-)
