The famed tools contracts…?
As many readers (oxymoron?) know, my ideal is to get some tools-related contracts, and pull together a reputation as a solid tools developer for Symbian OS, as well as trying to sell my pre-existing tools.
Right now I am doing a short-term contract for a major Symbian licensee. It’s not tools-related, but it is related to debugging difficult problems so I’m coming up with a useful list of things which could be solved by tools. (Actually, I’m not - all the problems I’m trying to solve are too difficult to automate, but hopefully I’ll have some ideas!)
But better still, the prospects for further contracts, all tools-related, are gradually firming up for after this one. If all my current prospects worked out, I’d be a very happy bunny. Having said that, this contracting lark is quite a roller-coaster… one minute you have rosy looking prospects and the next minute you have nothing at all. So I shan’t be counting my chickens yet. They don’t like roller-coasters anyway.
Meanwhile back to phone bug fixing. Byeee….
