I had the chance to do my HTML5 Banner Dev process for the ICA on Monday in downtown Toronto. People there seemed to be very engaged, and I had some very positive feedback. I had a great time! Hopefully will get a chance to do it again.
Really... what does ASAP mean? ASAP as in next week if it's convenient? ASAP as in tomorrow morning? ASAP as in I need to hire some extra help to get it done within an hour or we lose the project? Can we in the Advertising industry all agree to stop using the term ASAP? It tells me nothing about when anything needs to be done. Just tell me when you want it and I'll let you know if it's possible.
Well, I met my arch nemesis in person finally last night...
This guy has been a Freelance Flash Developer in Toronto for about the same amount of time as me (but a bit longer), travels as much as I do (but a bit more), works for the same agencies that I do (but for more money) ...
I hear his name all the time at meetings with PM's, I hear about how similar him and I are both in skill and personality, I hear how he and I go back and forth between who gets the better jobs...
Now that I have a face to the name I always hear, time for me to step up my game.
Well, after a year and a half in the political mess that is full-time Agency work, I'm finally back at my roots freelance Flash development. It's exciting to be able to work whenever I want again, but I'm finding it more difficult then I remember to motivate myself. Lets hope that it's like riding a bike...
