As most of you know, during the day I’m a mild-mannered .NET developer using all things Microsoft. But I lead a double life!

Before my (still undiagnosed) illness came upon me suddenly last year, most of my free time was spent with my family or playing golf at some of the country's best daily-fee courses here in Houston. I really enjoyed the fresh air, exercise and competitive nature of the sport. Unfortunately, my current condition makes playing golf almost impossible and much too risky. This situation has left me with much more free time than I'm normally used to having and after several months of rest and recuperation, I've decided to do some "after-hours" consulting.

Now in the evenings and on the weekends I do freelance development work using mostly “other technologies” such as Javascript, Ajax, PHP and mySQL on OS X Leopard. I also do some freelance photography in my local area and occasionally work on native and web iPhone applications. Since this part-time activity has begun to generate income, I've also started a new part-time company called Jeff Lynch Development, Ltd. and launched a new blog at http://blog.jefflynchdev.com (wordpress.com) to post about Mac & iPhone development, my new business and life in general.

I still plan to post regularly on this blog about all things Microsoft, so don't fret! But if you're like many of us and have a foot on both sides of the Microsoft and Apple fence, please join me at http://blog.jefflynchdev.com and have a good read! I'll also let you know when my new web site is up and running!
