Job interview

Hi.

I went yesterday to another job interview, this time for a programming position. It was a nice talk, they do VB.NET and ASP.NET development and the team is really small, like, two to three people per project.
I'm a bit confident they will choose me because we seem to get along (me and the interviewer). The only thing I dislike was that he prompted me to terminate hosting of actual 4 clients I still got from my failed business. Seeming that now I don't have new webdesign prospects (that one failed to go anywhere) and two of them are going do go quits, it's irrelevant to them. A matter to negotiate with them if talks are to go further. Besides, he was interested in seeing my software and I will gladly show him in my own laptop (copyrighting eh?).

If it doesn't go well there and doesn't go well in the other job interview (Staple's office) I am pretty much pennyless now, so I'll make sort of a part-time job with my project until I got something to work on with a salary. Maybe I get better luck than with this blog. It seems nobody is visiting :(

Well for the project I don't know yet, but something akin to a backoffice-frontoffice store but I don't want to go to webdesign, like in "do it yourself". Maybe some mix of Live MS Office/ Campfire?

Long time, no write

Hello.

I've not posted in the last weeks because I've got nothing to say. And I got no visits yet.
Well I've not found a job, got a job interview the other day, and the employment center sent me a letter yesterday, that I have to pick up at the post office.
About my business idea, well, not much development, mainly because I'm at loss for good ideas. I mean, what's the business really? Dunno yet, and that's fulcral.

A little more thinking

Hello.

Today I went helping my girl with a PowerPoint presentation for her school. It wasn't hard to do, but managed to finish in the nick of time before her laptop went battery dead.
Tomorrow I'll return to my home away from home. I will get the paid room another month and do a course on teaching classes. I mean, teaching how to teach. Good for resumé.

Meanwhile I'm evaluating some tools, such as Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 or Microsoft Expression Web. Frankly, apart some background programming, the two are quite similar at first sight.

My project is shaping, yesterday I thought of doing something in the ways of a portal with access to various areas, each with it's own peculiarities but everyone sharing the same code, only differing data and presentation. In the first step it's also easier to use the same domain name that to distribute for various.

Also while seeing some tools, my mind wanders to "what if I don't do programming but instead pick a ready made system with hundreds of addons like DotNetNuke or OSCommerce?".
I'm drowning in thoughts...
