It's around 5 on a Sunday afternoon. Just got the youngest out the door with the wife to go to birthday party. Not sure why anybody would schedule a birthday party for a 6 year old on a school-night, but whatever. Not much to say, but as I'm really trying to make an honest attempt at this again, I figured I should try to post as often as possible...however rambling it may be.
I'll be putting up my revamped support site this evening. I hope it gets up, because my support clients would have a difficult time getting to it if its not. Web site are not my greatest talent, but I can get by with a little help from my friends - Dreamweaver and Trial and Error. I don't like real busy and flashy [not speaking about sites that use flash technology] sites. In my opinion they detract from the purpose of having a web site - to disseminate information. Most of the time these pages go completely overboard, to the point of being obnoxious in their design.
I've got a human friend who's a whiz at design, and he'll help me out with ideas [more on him later, we're still working on his site]. Right now he's fairly busy making money for "The Man". Hopefully, we can change that in the near future - we've got some ideas on the back-burner. Those ideas need to go to the front burner.
It's tough though trying to branch into new ventures. The old saying; [don't actually know how old it is] "it's hard to remember why you were draining the swamp when you're up to your ass in alligators" is so true. I find myself at work, a fair amount of time wishing I could devote more time to R&D [which for me is experimenting with the myriad offerings of open-source software]. When you have 35 accountants in two offices and various outside clients that need support, it's tough to do what you want to do. With that being said, I'm thankful though for all those that need support - if they didn't, I wouldn't have a job.
