I know. I'm falling behind on a few things. I recently finished something horribly large and horribly stressful and I'm just rather fried at the moment. I'll get to this but my brain needs to get firm again. It's all mush.

Man, that is must be a nice project. How does one get a job like that?
Is it contract, salary or what?

I notice you say "God Bless" in your signature. I've experienced tremendous success since the day I incorporated 3 years ago. I've gotten projects literally out of the sky. I've experienced growth I did nothing to get. I couldn't tell you how I get half the stuff I do other then to point a finger up at the sky and tell you "It's all Him." and shrug my shoulders.
I really don't have a clue how I get the stuff I get and I think that's how He planned it all along.

It all came at a price. Had to keep my middle child alive for 3 years. In the process I lost my job, we lost our home and we got $40,000 into debt from medical bills. That all happened from 2000 - 2004 and from April 2004 until about January of 2007 I worked about 90 hours a week to try and get us back on our feet. We still have *so* far to go but so long as there is air in my lungs I will testify of Him.

God I am tired. I just want healthy kids. I mean thank God she's alive but I'm so tired. I now have medicines in my home that I have to give her that could kill her. If I don't give them to her she could die. I love my choices. I'm so tired. Okay, end of rant.

Those are the options? Man there is something seriously wrong with our medical / health care system
Sounds like either way she’s getting screwed. Good luck!

She's actually very lucky to even be alive. If it were not for a very talented Pediatric Surgeon who's instincts are a gift my daughter would be dead. So this particular experience isn't a bad thing at all. It just is hard at times to keep the pace of life with a chronically ill child.
We now get to shell out hundreds of $$$ to meet a nutritionist because Katie is falling off the growth curve again which puts her back in the "failing-to-thrive" category. We have a special plan that covers 100% of Katie's expenses but it doesn't cover nutrtitionist. Which is kind of lame. She'll die if we don't go see one so how it's not medically necessary is beyond me.
But this is the stuff that has me down at the moment. She's sick again and it just doesn't end. After 4 years with this kid we're learning that it's more than we ever were told to begin with...
But you have to come back to this truth.

Dialing in my signature...
Overheard in clients:
Question: "So country music doesn't make you want to get down and boogie?"
Response: "No, it makes me want to clean off the bottom of my shoe."
I just have to say that's about one of the best statements regarding country music I've ever heard.

I received a question in a thread about what I do, my focus and responsibilities. Here's my response taken directly from that thread. I thought it might be interesting for anyone that wanted to read or discuss it here.
I'm actually winding out my 2nd year building something I hope to be much bigger than I am.
My interests and my focus are not rigid by any means and I'm expanding into areas that seem appropriate.
My main skill set is in software development. I wrote an inventory management and scheduling system for America's largest DRAM producer. I was full-time for them for 4 years and really believed I loved my work for them (I'll explain this comment later). I had a great time in C++/ATL/MFC/VB6/SQL/Sybase/MTS 2.0/SAP r/3 yes that was all in one project that was almost 2 years in the making. So my love is programming. However, many of my software clients trust me and have asked me to support them as a desktop and server administrator as well as handling all their connectivity. So you might say my two primary areas of focus are Software and Systems Administration including Networking. I can make just about anything talk on a network, multiple subnets, layer 2 and layer 3 and on from there.
Presently 40% of my revenue and my keystone income comes from the networking/desktop/server support. I have many 1 year contracts that I am responsible for. I carry out these tasks on my own and with one other person that I work with a lot and will someday bring on full-time. The rest of my income is from being a double-agent in a couple of bigger companies. I provide a lot of systems and back end programming for a marketing agency that cranks out tons of web sites and custom software systems. I'm their bread and butter you might say. I also work with 1 other large company providing some pretty high end software consulting but that's a bit of a hush-hush deal with them so I cannot say a whole lot about it.
My growth is averaging about 300% to 400% per quarter and that's been a trend since Q1 of operations. I'm sort of a 1 man show for now but the way things are going that won't last long at all. I'll probably be more of a virtual company with VPN's connecting me to my employees for a while. Bricks & mortar will come later I want to keep costs as low as possible at first and VPN's support 100% of my needs right now.
So that's me and what I do sort of. What's interesting is that word of mouth has me branching into more and more industries providing the same basic work but once I get into a specific industry I get industry specific requests and that's causing some branching in what I do. Right now my biggest challenge is pacing the growth so it doesn't get me to thin. I'm constantly pushing that balance though and sometimes I get caught up in a 2 month run of 100 hour weeks but that is rare especially now that I'm getting a feel for trends in my business. Yes, in less than 2 years I'm seeing very clear patterns. I'm sure they will flux a bit but by and large I think they are predictable for the next few years at least.
What's fun for me is my involvement in on-line communities has me working all over the U.S. I can VPN just about anywhere and do just about anything. Corporate IT guys spend a few minutes on the phone with me. Quiz me about my own security satisfy themselves that my security is seamless and then they throw me a port on an IP and I tunnel in and start work. I have standing work in upper New York, LA and Florida. With a few smaller projects in the mid-east.
Explaining my earlier comment about believing I loved working for the DRAM company. Now that I am self employed I realize how much I love what I do. There is no possible way I could ever go back to being an employee and doing so would kill my spirit. There's something I love about having to be inventive, inspired and motivated. Being self employed means every day is different and it's a chance for you to lose or acquire business. Everything I do is aimed at trying to acquire new business. I love the challenges involved and I really enjoy the work as well as the freedom. No way could I ever go back to being an employee not with the rewards I've experienced thus far on my own.

Code-frog is a strange name. I'll admit that. I love it though and it fits me pretty well. My 3 (at the time) year old son and I came up with it one night. I asked for his help. He suggested frog and I wanted something that went with code and there you go.
The system architects part is pretty different. I've picked up tons of networking experience over the last few years. A friend of mine is a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert and has taught me tons. If you can write code and you understand layer 2/3 networking you can find quite a bit of work. So I support my expenses (barely) providing small to medium business networking, desktop and server support. It's a bit stressful at times but I'm pretty good at it. I've taken a lot of work from MCSE's and other titles who were just *that* titles. So networking is my baseline.
I do write a lot of code though for companies all over the country. I've got clients in California, New Mexico, New York and the Florida not to mention Idaho of course. I love what I do but I do a lot. Some day we'll pay off all the debt we got from my daughter and being laid off and then I'll hire a few people and start enjoying 40 hour weeks again. Until then...
That's my story. Someday I'll get my site http://www.code-frog.com[^] updated. If you are bored and really good at HTML and just want to help let me know. I suck at HTML. MMMM, no I SUCK AT HTML yeah, that's better. Anyway, that's my business in a nutshell. I love it and would not trade it for anything. Being self employed fits me very well and I'm quite happy.

You SUCK AT HTML? Maybe, but I really like how your site looks! Maybe it's just me but I love simple sites... Ok ok I don't like when I click e.g. on "Recommended Products" menu and see only blank space... is it really blank or only not FireFox friendly? (=> I am lazy to swith browser or look at source markup).

No DUDE! I really suck. It's only IE friendly. I'm going to rebuild it very soon I love my logo and that's about the only thing going for it. I'm big into orange and black and green too. That's why I like it here.

This is not me whining but it's a story that comes up in some strange ways so it is a bit worth telling once in a place where people can just read it and move on.
In December 1999 I got hired by America's largest semi-conductor maker. Did really well there authored some very cool systems had a great time. I worked in C/C++, SAP R/3, Perl, VB6 and some small Java stuff. Good times.
In December of 2001 my daughter was born with a very serious condition read it here: http://www.pediatricparents.com/Katie.htm[^] (that's current to about 10 days before I got laid off).
February 19, 2003 we sold our current home. It had to many nightmares (saving daughter's life) for us and we wanted to move.
February 21, 2003 I was laid off from work. We were spending $3000 a month out of pocket to feed my daughter and losing my job was devastating. We had no income.
February 24, moved out new occupants moved in. Nowhere to live. Moved in with friends into 1600 square foot home bringing 4 of us and lots of medical equipment. Didn't work. Son was pretty freaked out. Moved from place to place to place. Finally 3 months later got excellent job (for 9 days, didn't know that at time). Got qualifified for current home.
May 15, 2003 we moved in. Katie had a room, Grant had a room and we had a family once again. May 20th contract job ended suddenly. Company lost the bid and almost closed do to problems. We now had a house payment to make.
I went through a series of struggles with school and other things and finally decided to go on my own.
April 30, 2004 I incorporated as Code-frog System Architects, Inc.
Life didn't get any easier but it's slowly improving. So here I am.
None of this is cry for sympathy or other comments. Life happens and here we are. We just had some very bad luck but everyone does at times. No big deal.
