But leaving control of the application to an outside consultant can potentially lead to problems later.
(Anti) Social Lists 2/27/11
Another week, another month almost done. I’ve been busy with a lot of events for my daughter. With her social schedule you would think she was 16 rather than 8.
This week I have google docs, freelancing, Facebook, WordPress and more.
Enjoy!
