End of Month

Hello.

We are on 29th of August and the client this Monday (day 27) sends me an email with 20 changes to the site. Most were cosmetic (up the telephone numbers, new text for headers, etc) but one pissed me off: forget all meetings before and move the left side menu to the right side of the header picture. You see the change.
Luckily I haven't made the photo animations yet, so it was fairly quick to change it.
I found a new host server that hosts ASP.NET 2.0 sites for a fraction of the cost of my current one - a difference from 75€ monthly to 75€ yearly. I know, I was paying too much, but September will be the last month, the month of the switch. I only have three sites hosted from my previous company, mine and two clients.

I'm in a low productivity mode now, the past few days I haven't done much programming on my day job or on my own free time. My self project has advanced slowly but it will restart in a few days I'm sure. I've had these before.

I hope next month of September I will start to make some extra money with my website projects, or else things are going to be hard.
Stay tuned!

Saturday

Hello.

Today is Saturday, 12.49 A.M.
I'm home doing some work for the client's website. I am VERY late on this one, and taking many shortcuts to deliver it ASAP.
I have a new idea for a new software, based on errors I've been having with some Microsoft software in the last few days. Another way to make some bucks too. Few.
It's been lurking around my head and I must research it better, but seems no one has made one.

On my CMS project I'm gonna go the way of the weekend-long programming jam. My girl is doing her own university paper, my friends can't go out and play Call of Duty, so bring up the coffee and some donuts!

This weekend I plan to also wash my car and give it a little polish, it's been needing for almost a year now. And stop looking at porn so much lol.

Still alive

Just a quick check to remind I'm alive and well.
My debts are almost gone, and till the end of this month they will be terminated. Next is the IRS thing too. I know, I know...

Meanwhile, my project is taking grrreat shape, it's coming along nicely, and in some time I'll get all stuff working online. No Backoffice at first, but already a website with updateable content, users, and some other stuff.

At work the work it's going great, been developing great commented code, helping out a out-of-college new employee who has no clue about real life job demands, and he's taking pace. We enjoy at work with each others many times, so we have a great work environment, helpful, dynamic, and compelling. I like it there.

I plan to close the website development for the first client already this saturday, only leaving the tweaks for next week. And payment would be nice too. Let's see.

And today I won't do anything because I'm going out with my significant half and then we're going to do other "things" if you know what I mean *wink* *wink*.

Cya!

Another Day

Friday night.

I've arrived home now from my girlfriend's house.
Now I'm going to code some more, after a full day's work programming. What a life.
Having some dificulties doing a grid product page, seems I'm complicating easy stuff.
