[plug] Consulting

[Simon Scott]

	I want to get into Apache mod-PHP/Postgresql web-based application
development :)

	Yes, simple stuff earns the $$$s, but only if you can get them to
pay :)

	Argh fair enough, but its not worth the paper its written on IMHO. 
	But to the clueless (clients) it looks good! :p

	Exactly, but I know of people going in gun-ho and then f**king a
whole
	system.

	> 	Bright people? Hopefully Ill survive with my IQ of 51 ;-)

	No when i say bright people, I mean people that are simply
brilliant, they
	know the OS inside out, something us meer mortals will hopefully
oneday
	acheieve :)

	Yeah, thats the best way to go! Im wanting to get into the Postgres
-> CGI
	field. Basically writing task tracking systems, or internal ordering
	systems. Simple stuff that can make alot of money for the
consultant.

	From memory yeah! (I havnt done any consulting in a danm long
	time) :( Nice and simple stuff really!

	Cheers
