Ah, it's nice when people enjoy the music I've been posting links to.
This massage / coding combination is because of life =) I mean, I've been doing things I like and learning some basic skills. I studied philosophy at the university, but I didn't want to pursue an academic career and I moved back to live in the countryside. And nowadays there aren't that many work opportunities in the countryside, so I've just been looking around, trying little bit of this and that. Once I was working as a farmhand in a horse stables, and one year I was teaching English for kids at the local elementary school. And somewhere in between I was a project co-ordinator. Once I spent a week working in a small factory assembling wooden doors. Like, just looking at possible work opportunities available at the local area, and trying what ever I felt that I could do.
I think this period while I've been writing this blog is the longest period in my adult life that I've had more or less stable and settled pattern for my work and income. As, usually I've been kind of a drifting from a project to another. Now, as I am self-employed, it is mostly about learning to plan and to organize my work better. I'm slowly steering my working patterns so that there would be less massage and more coding (ie. less driving a car and more income I could work at home).
Some more thoughts and stories are at least in these posts:
