So a while back I took over part ownership of a company. As of June 16th I left my full time Security Engineer to become part engineer, part sales person, part support person and part bean counter. Running your own business is something I would suggest everyone do at least once, even if its in a small/part time capacity. It’s very rewarding and an incredible learning experience that I would imagine never really stops teaching you things. Now that things have settled down a little from the transition, I will try and keep things a little more up to date around here.

Hey Ken, congratulations on the business venture! I too have recently left my full-time job and am working hourly for them while I bootstrap a startup of my own, CampaignLever (www.campaignlever.com). CampLev will be a set of web-based tools to help organizations become more effective when lobbying for legislative or cultural change. It’s also a great excuse for me to learn Ruby on Rails.
Good luck, and please do post about some of the interesting and unique things you get to deal with as a buisiness owner.
Regards,
Scott
