Yep I know it was my fault for getting lazy and not continuing to pick up some smaller contracts but spilled milk isn't getting the kitty fed.

Anyway, so here I am out shaking the bushiness again. Rebuilt my site and am trying to figure out the best way to go about getting freelance web/dev work again. Maybe there will be something here in the forum.

So the bottom line is, yes the bankrupt company's contracts issue was directly attributable to the "Recession" but not the reason I find myself on the hunt again. Live and learn I guess.
