Well, almost everyone on here knows I'm working on a project called Microcosm, http://microcosm.app/ .
That's a new company trying to solve (in software) the problem of growing communities around niche interests.
In the meantime, to help survive... I'm allowing myself 4 days consulting work per month. Which is enough to keep myself and my girl in the hope of having a vacation this year.
This basically means people can hire me. But beware, I'm not cheap. For companies my rate starts at £800 per day, heading north for very specialist skills to large companies. But for charities and cycling non-profits I'm willing to work at almost half that rate. The biggest problem is my 4 day cap per month means that if you want me to do work, I'm best on planning, strategy, high-tech problems... rather than delivery of a long-running project.
Specialisms include:
Creating and configuration of hosted solutions such as web servers, DNS, layered web applications, etc.
Varnish HTTP accelerator optimisation.
Database optimisation.
Project planning, and review.
Web services and SOA consulting, specialism in REST.
Architectural review of solutions.
I also have knowledge of storage, SharePoint, networking, etc.
I can do most things... except design.

I can travel where needed, obviously client covers those costs.
