Well the reason is basically because right now I'm trying to tie up all my loose ends. I overbooked myself a couple weeks ago and I am just getting out of it.
The programming is never the most time consuming part. The most time consuming part is talking to the customer, arranging payment, tweaking, testing, fixing problems that weren't problems until the customer decided they wanted it to do something else.
A twenty minute job quickly turns into 2 or three hours of talking and organizing. Besides, the smallest jobs are usually the ones that involve the most BS.
And to answer your question, I am not really taking small projects like that right now. I usually don't unless I'm strapped for cash, or whatnot.
They just aren't worth it.
