On my future

Thursday, December 30th, 2004

I just had a talk with my boss about whether I’m interested in a full time job when I graduate. There was some positive and some negative. He said that Hostway could offer some support to our startup, whether financial or service based, which is extremely awesome. What’s not so good is that he wants me to make a descision as to whether I’m going to join as a full time developer around March. Hopefully our startup will have made a major turn (either up or down) by then. Fortunately, I imagine that if we don’t have some serious interest in SkyBlue by then, we aren’t going to take off, so that will make it easier.

Open source "invades" commercial code

Work work work

Well, I would really like to start writing in this blog, but I have absolutely no time to do so with a full time job. I’ve got a lot of projects going on that I’ll be talking about next semester (both school related and personal), but for now you get nothing but this IOU.
