I have officially incorporated in Delaware this week. This step is in an effort to make much of what I do tax deductable. Keeping up two residences in two states is an effort and without a means to validly deduct those expenses it makes it more expensive as an individual.
My present contract expires on the 29th of this month (Sept) and at that time I will be coming a full fledged independant with all the risks that entails. With luck though, I may be contracting two Fortune 100 companies to do all their packaging as they continue to outsource much of their work. Both are within a days drive which is good because part of packaging is determining what environment the application will be deployed in and in part to determine what is expected. You cannot do this without some face to face meetings and learning what your customer expectations are and managing those expectations.
I will continue to be posting information and advice on packaging since there is still a dearth of this information available to new people and to existing people doing the work. I hope you as I, will continue to learn moving forward. Those that think they know everything are doomed to irrelevance in time since nothing in IS is static and packaging is included. It is becoming more and more important with both Windows and Linux systems having their own versions of DLL "Hell" although the Linux proponents may not wish to admit it, it is an achilles heel of Linux with so many application management systems in use from Apt, RPM and such.
