| daftykins | ah not too bad here thanks, quiet on the work front given the season... all well on your end? | 08:26 |
| knightwise | kinda the oposite here | 08:26 |
| daftykins | :D | 08:26 |
| knightwise | the impending rise of covid infections calls for more webinars and livestreams | 08:26 |
| knightwise | its kinda a side-gig we did with our company that is turning out to be quite a lucrative enterprise | 08:27 |
| knightwise | normally we do about one per month | 08:27 |
| knightwise | i have 3 more scheduled this month | 08:27 |
| knightwise | so its time to pack up the studio again and take the camera's on the road | 08:28 |
| daftykins | :O | 08:28 |
| knightwise | Not complaining though :) Just that some of them are pretty last minute and that all comes "on top" of what we are already doing. | 08:28 |
| knightwise | but i'm not complaining. | 08:29 |
| knightwise | How is "the season" winding down your workload ? | 08:29 |
| daftykins | oy i've had clients expecting they can just call me up and i'll drop everything the very next morning, of late | 08:29 |
| daftykins | well i'm just self employed so there's usually less come the holidays | 08:29 |
| knightwise | daftykins: We do that sometimes but our "firehouse fee" is substantially higher :) | 08:29 |
| knightwise | daftykins: Me and the wife are self employed too | 08:30 |
| knightwise | Are you a freelance developer ? | 08:30 |
