Well. I've started my little summer consulting gig. For now, I'm an editor of the Rational Edge, an e-zine for which I wrote a few articles during my tenure at Rational.

I work with Mike and Marlene, two very enjoyable people, except that I'll be substituting for them while they're on vacation. So I'll work with first one, then the other, then on my own when they both go on vacation and leave me in charge. (yeeps!)
As my first act, I... rejected an article that I think needs more work. I wrote a page and a half explaining why, and I hope the author reworks and resubmits. I think he has something valuable to say, but he's so familiar with the material that he forgets to say it.
So how does it feel? Fine. I pretty much know the routine -- know the people, know the issues, know the e-zine, know the environment. So I'm not needing to come up to speed particularly. It's kind of fun to read and edit, and so far, Mike, the main editor, seems genuinely interested in my ideas and is encouraging me to run with them.
Not bad. Not bad.
