Happy anniversary to Camden Software Consulting

Eighteen years ago today I first became an independent consultant.  I was still employed at CPAS in Pensacola, Florida for two more months.  Afterwards, I moved to Gulf Breeze, Florida where I set up shop for a few more years.

While visiting Synergex in October of 1993, I helped them lay plans for porting their products to the Windows platform.  I could see that if I were to be helpful in this massive project, I would need to be there constantly.  So I moved in January, 1994 to Sacramento and thence to Rancho Cordova, California.  I met my wife at Synergex, and moved into her house in Folsom.  The two of us decided in 2000 to move to Bainbridge Island, Washington — which is where I live and work today.

Here are eighteen maxims from my eighteen years of experience.
