Anon E. Mouse asks about the ethics of contracting on the side:
Your only concern, IMO, is if the second dot.com is a direct competitor of
the first. If not, any non-compete agreement you have with your present
employer should not apply.
As a courtesy, you might consider informing your employer that you do
contract work on the side.
