Newfoundland, Day Job, and Hoserlife

Business trips, man are they a pain.  I am in the process of a trip that is basically 4 hours of work, but it is going to take in the order of 3 days to complete it, and since I am alone on this journey I don’t have a lot to do.  I am lucky that my next town is going to be a place that I know people and maybe even get to stop in for some supper, but I am not getting my hopes up just yet.  I am in Newfoundland, and you can never tell when the weather is completely going to turn on you and be stranded.  That said, it is looking good that I am going to make it through the next part of the trip without much headache, it is the flying out that I am worried about.

As far as that goes, the day job is really eating into a lot of my web development time.  I have had very little time to spend on HoserLife and even less on HoserNews. I was able however to get someone to write a column for me.  Its name alone should be enough to stir up comments, if you want you can read the first Cunt of the Month here.

Speaking of HoserLife, I am building a very cool app that is targeted to the people that want to manage their life better, especially their fitness part.  I am building it with CakePHP and am finally getting somewhere.  I was spending a lot of time trying to work out the whole process in my head, but last weekend I decided to just get to it and I am finally starting to see something.  There is still a long way to go before it is ready to go into BETA even, I still haven’t figured out the name, but when I do I will be sure to start creating some buzz for it.  While it is in ALPHA I am going to have a few friends try it out for a month and then do some mods to it and release for BETA.  I think that I have about 200 hours before ALPHA and since I can barely spend 2 hours a day there is a long way to go, especially since I can’t work on it on the road.

Anyway, I think that I am going to go downstairs and try out the lounge, who knows maybe I will even try out some poker tonight, I have been on a big downswing so maybe it is time to go big or/and go home.
