workBLOGS . THURSDAY


Technically it is Friday already since the clock shows that 02:53 digit. But since my day ends when i drift into the circuit of dreams, it is still Thursday for me. That would be four days of me dwelling in this room (make that six if you'll include Saturday and Sunday) without going out aside from semi-regular snacks and a two hour visit to a client last Tuesday morning. In this room... virtually alone with this computer, a bunch of papers and cans of sugar inducing coca cola drinks... i am (I'm beginning to sound like master yoda already). Of course there's that regular child howls and 'smell-the-roses-interruptions'. Like everytime when my lovely two year old girl would ask for a pen and a paper, chant the words 'work work work' and grab a seat beside my work table.

Tomorrow I'll be out once again in this room as I will be visiting another client. This week is an initial phase of a test I'm doing to assess if I could give up my regular job and concentrate on free lance related projects. If you have two babies who consume P1,250 worth of milk every five days, things are quite different. You don't addobject(decisions, life) on the fly and hope that you could CTRL+Z things afterwards.

I'm also considering the notion of opening a sort of iOL section (I'll discuss that later) in this site which will discuss system development related matters. Sophieai, the code name I gave to this project i'm working on for the past few days... will be the first example. Probably by discussing some things with fellow programmers, IT enthusiasts and even students I might find an alternative to that reboot-PC-if-user-times-out approach of mine. I'm suppose to lock the computer and render the alt-tab and alt-ctrl-del useless but my WinAPI knowledgebase is quite limited. But i'm working on it. Even in dreams.
