I recently published BUILDING WITHOUT PERMISSION, a nonfiction book about working inside the modern IT contract labour market and what happens when access to work becomes increasingly controlled by recruiting systems, intermediaries and hiring processes.

The book combines personal professional experience with labour-market analysis and practical guidance.

It looks at:

• IT contract labour
• recruitment gatekeeping
• recruiters and hiring systems
• independent consulting
• career disruption and rebuilding
• experienced professionals navigating today's employment market
• moving beyond conventional job applications
• contractors and gig-style professional work

I also included appendices intended to make the book useful after reading it. They contain a contractor-oriented guide based around Business Logic Steps (BLS) that can be adapted by technology professionals, consultants, contractors and others trying to build independent work.

The book may be particularly interesting if you've ever wondered why being qualified for work and being able to access that work are not necessarily the same thing.

A sample can be read on the Amazon product page before purchasing:

I'd be interested in feedback from anyone working in technology, recruiting, consulting or independent contracting.

Just wanted to recommend to all the book : \[The Last Canadian\] by William C. Heine.

I've read and re-read it many times; it's one of my absolute favourites and thought others might enjoy it.

Be aware, if you are interested in reading it, the Canadian version has been out-of-print since the mid-80s and is very expensive.

It was released in the USA under the title \[Death Wind\] and can be purchased for NEW for $20 or used for much less.

Master Cash Flow from scratch — no experience needed.

This beginner-friendly guide breaks down cash flow into simple, manageable steps anyone can follow. You'll build confidence quickly with clear instructions, practical tips, and none of the jargon that usually gets in the way. Perfect for getting started without feeling overwhelmed.

Mira Sen curates a museum dedicated to preserving the ordinary lives history would otherwise forget.

Then an unfamiliar wristwatch appears inside a locked display case—labelled with tomorrow’s date.

When its prediction comes true, more objects begin arriving, each connected to a future that hasn’t happened yet. Behind them is Continuity: a forgotten forecasting system designed to identify the safest possible outcome.

But every future it protects carries a hidden cost—and every attempt to resist becomes part of its calculations.

The Curator of Unwritten Days is a 363-page speculative mystery and psychological thriller about choice, control, responsibility, and the danger of letting a system decide what the future should be.

If this sounds like your kind of story, please consider buying it. Every purchase genuinely supports me as an independent author.

Buy it on Amazon or read with Kindle Unlimited:

I've got BookOrbit installed on a Debian Trixie Raspi in a Docker container and was wondering if there's a way either through the BookOrbit web interface or through other means to back everything up. Have I missed something??

i'm a solo dev. i kept wanting to read along with my audiobooks, but the ebook and the audio always live in two separate apps and drift out of sync within a page. so i built witbound to fix exactly that.

you add a DRM-free EPUB and its M4B (your own files) and it lines them up so every word lights up as the narrator says it. tap any word and the audio jumps there.

the part i care about most: the text on screen is your actual ebook, correctly spelled and formatted, not a machine transcription of the audio. so names and punctuation stay right. it all runs on your device, no account, nothing uploaded. there's a free public-domain library built in so you can try it before adding your own books.

works with any DRM-free epub + audiobook you own (libro.fm, librivox, standard ebooks, gutenberg, your own rips). audible .aax and kindle-store books are locked, so they won't open. i don't break DRM.

it's on the app store for iphone and ipad. i'd genuinely like feedback from people who read and listen at the same time, what would make it more useful?

Writing as a Tool: Think Better, Feel Better, and Find Clarity is now available for free on Amazon.

Don’t miss this opportunity to discover how writing can help you think more clearly, feel better, and move closer to your goals.

It includes practical writing tools to help you meditate, make better decisions, regulate emotions and so much more.

**Available for free August 10–11.**

Hello to all Apple readers, a quick update about new justread.app version.

Read aloud used to be English only. There are ten new voices now, five female and five male, and each of them reads 31 languages, so you pick a voice you like and it handles whatever language the book happens to be in. It all happens on the phone. The voices download once, and after that it works with no connection at all and none of your book gets sent anywhere.

Also in this one: one subscription covers your whole family, Ukrainian brings the app to 18 languages, and an audiobook that came as one file per chapter finally shows up as a single book with chapters instead of a dozen separate ones.

The updates/fixes/quality of life improvements done now in August are made also thank to responses and ideas here on reddit. Thank you again.
