Jeff Makes Software

Since quitting my job last week, I can't tell you how liberated I feel. Aside from some final pay issues to deal with, I really feel like I'm living on my own terms.

Today is the day that I voluntarily quit my day job.

Now that I'm finally getting more comfortable with VS 2005, I think I'm going to start writing some code for POP Forums v8. I'm in a funny place though regarding the membership system I already have.

OK, actually I already knew that. No, actually I'm not finding it that hard getting pen to paper. It's the time... there isn't enough time.

Finally, Walt and I launched PointBuzz last night. The premise is simple: I don't have the desire to maintain a ton of content, and would rather write code, while Walt likes to produce content. So we combined Virtual Midway and Guide to The Point into PointBuzz. It is, without question, the greatest unofficial Cedar Point site ever created.

I love the little holy wars that go on in various forums about why .NET sucks or whatever. Those who state this are generally folks that have never used the platform. One of their key “arguments” is the lack of open source community around it.

So I wore my new “I'm blogging this” shirt from ThinkGeek.com to my J.O. volleyball tournament Saturday. None of my girls knew what it meant, and their parents were just as clueless. Only one of the officials (a young, not geeky cutie) actually got it.

The mental giants at Comcast bought TechTV, now they're going to close it. How f'ing stupid is that?
