Remote/Telecommute Job Resource

Let’s face it. It’s hard enough to find regular work these days, let alone remote or telecommute opportunities. There are web developers and other technology professionals all over the states who can’t just pick up and move to the nearest large city for a job. I, myself live in Rexburg, ID, a very small community with a strong distrust of expansion and a disappointingly ambiguous craigslist presence. While I love this little town for a myriad of reasons, it is not exactly a hot spot for tech professionals. Therefore, I find my work/clients elsewhere. How? With a great little service called Virtual Vocations.

Virtual Vocations is a fantastic resource for telecommute jobs (full and partial) as well as project listings for freelancers who work remotely. They pull in job listings from sources all over the web and list them by categories for easy browsing and searching. Registration is quick and affordable (around $6 per week) and they send email alerts with new positions every day. Services like this take much of the leg work out of job seeking and cut your travel costs substantially. I would recommend this service to anyone. And so I have ;)


Templ33t v0.1 released

I just tossed up the first version of my new wordpress plugin, Templ33t, which adds tabs to the page editor for custom content blocks you can define in templates for any theme.

It’s based on Page.ly‘s MultiEdit plugin, which was a great start to what I needed to get done. Take a look at the project page to see the documentation or download.


Digsby!

Instant Messaging meets Email meets Social Networking in a big ol pile of awesome sauce. Digsby lets you keep track of it all in one nice looking app. Worked perfectly after install but for a hiccup with the facebook module (doesn’t currently support the new version of facebook). The only thing I can see missing is web cam support but this app is still young and there will be many many added features to come. I would recommend this download for anyone.


SlimTimer

SlimTimer is an excellent utility for keeping track of your billable time. With a user friendly interface, task names, time tagging, comments and good reporting tools, I’m able to keep pretty organized. I just run a report on certain tags and paste it into my invoices when billing clients for time. If i wanted to integrate SlimTimer data into anything, they have an easy to use API. Also, SlimTimer works with Bubbles for you windows users!
