It’s time for another update on my sabbatical year. It’s time to declare it over.
At the [start of the year][p1], I posed two questions to myself:
* Do I want to integrate more cycling into my habits?
* Do I have the capacity to start my own software company?
The first, I can answer with a resounding no. As I wrote in the [last update][p2], I haven’t cycled any more than I did when I was working at Symbian. Whilst I’m a little disappointed with myself, I certainly hope to revisit this question some other time in the future. I certainly love cycling when I do it.
The second is a qualified yes. And qualified only until the company becomes a going concern, since I’m confident I’m on the right track. [Transmission Begins][tb] was founded during the year, and after a [flurry of activity][beta] while I wrote the first version of the [My Own TV Channel][motc] product, things have been publicly quiet for the last few months.
Well, I was busy delivering Transmission Begins’ first income generating contract. (Perhaps I owe myself a couple of months sabbatical in the future!). Who I contracted with is a confidential matter (at their request), but to those of you who read this, thank you for a very enjoyable few months.
Now that is done, it is time to focus on Transmission Begins again. Today I’ve [launched a blog][dc] on Transmission Begins website, and if you’re interested, I hope to see you there.
