From the Department of Redundancy Department (#214)

Hey Dude! You read my mind. I was found redundant a month ago (although not redundant enough to be let go immediately) and I came the same conclusion. I still like my future-former employer and wish them well. With their changes I truly am redundant. It's not their fault.

But I'm going to make some changes here. For the first time in my life I am not going to look for a job. I'm going to build one.

Okay so what's next?.
Strangely enough being made redundant on Monday was not the most unnerving that has happened to me this week.
What is more unnerving is my decision not to look immediately for another job. Instead I have made the decision to see if I can make an adhoc mixture (as I see it now) of blogging, k-logging, knowledge management, intranets, collaboration and communities into a compelling business proposition and make a living from it.
For some time now I have wanted to strike out in my own direction. To lead rather than be led. It seems fate just handed me my chance. This is not a risk-free strategy, and I'm just beginning to admit to myself what I'm letting myself in for.
So from here onwards I will happily entertain any offers of work, suggestions about what works (and what doesn't). Ideas, novel solutions, novel problems. It's all good. I've also got an acre of understanding to do, here goes!
Suddenly I feel like I am growing into my weblog title.
Matt [Curiouser and curiouser!]
