I sent out an email to a bunch of friends and family on Monday morning announcing the fact that I’ve resigned my job to focus on personal projects for the remainer of 2010. The response was overwhelming; I received many emails and phone calls, all very supportive, and some offering help.
I’ve achieved the following things in my first sabbatical week:
- Found an office in Leederville that I’ll be moving into next Wednesday.
- Completed a prototype of one of my projects, the d-board (get it here).
- Pitched three of my other ideas to a handful of people who are interested in funding them with Real Money ™.
- Met with an accountant to set things up for if and when I actually do make any money.
- Started planning the implementation of MegaHAL10, another of my projects.
Thanks all so much for the overwhelming support. It’s been great. And don’t forget to subscribe to “The Occasional Jason” if you want more detailed updates; the subscription form is over there on the right (if you’re viewing this on my blog).
