I work for a financial software house, in Dublin, as a Solution Architect. Have about 8 years dev experience mostly on web based development, usually in Java.

Also have my own company (GC Consulting) with a friend from college. We do web design etc with the idea of using the money from that to finance other ideas. Currently finishing coding one of these ideas and now have the harder task of actually getting users.

Spending some time recently thinking about small side businesses and how people are running them. Thinking of those of you who have full time jobs/studying but running another biz on the side. Trying to think of ways we can help each other out.
