Up and down days

Sometimes running a business, you're going to have really great days. And other times, you're going to have really crap days! I'm constantly amazed at the highs and lows of running an IT related business, and how frequently, even within the space of one day, the rollercoaster can change direction. We've been really fortunate that we've been going for 3 1/2 years, and so far the good has by far out-weighed the bad. But it's just as amazing how quickly the few downturns in the track can affect you.

I've been reading in a few blogs lately that people believe that the IT slump has bounced and we're feeling a surge again. I certainly hope it has, well, I probably do agree that is on the way up. Those of us who have been in the web game for more than 10 years have ridden some pretty big highs and lows, and if we're still in it now (as we are), then you're looking forward to a high :) I have to admit that the web-browser has become a bit tired I think for a lot of people. Where we've come on the web in the past few years certainly hasn't changed the world - just more people selling stuff, more spam, more porn sites killing childhood ... ummm .... what's there to get excited about?

This is why Moket and mobile development is kind of getting me going cause it's a bit of a new rush ... something a bit different ... something still in its infancy really in a lot of territories (including Australia - we are like the mobile technology backwater of the world!). I'm sounding like a tech junkie looking for my next fix! Roll on 3G I say ... and where the heck are those Flash enabled handsets they promised us were coming ?!?! Nah, it's all good - hopefully there are many more highs than lows coming. Cheers!
