Well it’s been a busy 26 days here at Icecraft since my last post to Skin Deep. I’ve been hard at work on the Teamforge framework among other projects, and while it doesn’t look like much yet, I’m proud to announce that there is finally a site online at http://teamforge.org! This week I’ll be working to implement a search engine that saves your searches to build a customized feed of only the opportunities that interest you. A major source of frustration throughout my early freelancing career has been the time wasted jumping from site to site scanning visually through thousands of jobs that are of absolutely no interest to me, so in my opinion this is an exciting feature and a great way to kick off the site.

I’d like to take a moment to thank my friend Brian Callahan for his contributions to the new Icecraft logo. If you’re looking for a talented graphic designer, you owe this guy an email. Seriously.

As a final note: Under no circumstance should you ever give GoDaddy money. They are literally the worst shared hosting provider I’ve ever used in my life, and the worst company I have to deal with on a day to day basis (and that’s saying something - Verizon is my wireless provider!). I’m shocked and amazed every time something actually works the way I expect it to.
