Facebook = Microsoft / Google = Mac / myspace = linux

Does my title make sense? I don’t know, I was just looking at how Facebook plans to take over the internet, think its similar to the way M$ did it but hey, I haven’t really thought about this. I think its about time I started learning the FB API more, maybe get a few hacks into my system.

The web is changing, being a simple php developer might not cut it one day and I wanna stay on top. I’m not saying I wanna follow the trend but I don’t want to be the last one to the party either.

The internet was originally a place of information, not it is our lives, the more time I spend chatting to friends on it, the more I hate it. There used to be a good source of information but now it seems like junk that looks cool but is bloody useless.

The more time spent chatting to ‘friends’ the less time I spend with my friends. I got virtually over 700 friends but I can touch no more than 5.

You might be gathering from this that even though I spend more hours in front of a computer and love using it, that I don’t like them. I truly have a love/hate relationship with them and its also unstable.

I’m always learning more about them and enjoy playing with them to the max but now that every tom, dick and harry sit on them instead of talking face to face, they drive me crazy. I am no longer alone enjoying the alone time.

Do you remember the sound of dial up, do you remember having a book with landline phone numbers in it? Those were my favorite days. To learn something new was a challenge and very few people had any clue what you were talking about.

IRC was the best thing around and the meetings were you could put a face and name to a nick was the best thing in the world.

The distance between reality and the virtual world was great and I loved having the two lives. Now they are one and I’m not sure who I am anymore. I’m also not sure who anyone is anymore.

How many friends do you have? Can you touch them? Can you hold them in a time of need?

damn it, forgot what I was going to say…

I’m not a big fan on writing and I do try but every time I open this editor up I forget why I opened the damn thing up.

OK thinking hurts my brain today, I’m stressing as my current contract is up end of this month and still not got something for next month. Trying not to stress though as that make stupid come out to play.

Think a thought came to my head, I’ve got this great idea for a ad app but its still in thought process as I have no time to read the needed documents and write the needed documents to get started but so far the idea is unique and simple. Think that’s what I wanted to say but not 100%. What I need to find out is how one would get someone to invest in a persons idea with little or no documentation or what type of documentation is required to get someone to invest in it.

These are simple questions but if all fails there is no hell so I’m not worried.

Since been back on the job market I have found it strange how many places still used windows in a linux development company. They all say they need to test there stuff in IE and they cant afford anything else but erm linux is free and you only need one machine to run IE so you can view your sites before going out. I mean my mentor from my junior days never touch windows and I only remember him once checking out a site in IE to see how it looked. I think if I continue with this I might make a few people angry with some thoughts of mine. People say you always need to test your sites in IE before sending them out but why test when you know they going to work.

Tis Friday so we should all be happy that we lasted another week and now we can rest this weekend so we can start surviving a new week. If that’s your thought process I think its time you got a new job.

Tis Friday so we can see our friends and get some rest cause next week is going to be fun…. is a better answer but that makes me think of the homeless people I past coming to work this morning.

“Vote and Win” is what all the DA posters are saying but what are we going to win? Are the homeless going to get homes? are the hungry getting food? or is another party taking over the role of main con-artist in this country? When will the leaders stop thinking with there emotions and start making some arrangement to better this country. Only a idiot cant tell what is needed so why are they our leaders? if you tell me that one of them gave a good speak about a topic, I’ll ask who wrote it.

Hmm maybe some good news…
Well I sent my CV off to Afrigator got a quick response from them but still waiting for a call. That’s cool, it seems like a really nice place to work at. Also went for a interview today with some really nice guys. Not sure what the work environment is like but they where cool.

focus change

You know you start your week with a set list of things to get done. then you start your week and get a new list and your old list goes out the window. Its irritating but at the same time stuff needs to get done and what you are doing is stuff that makes people feel you are getting stuff done so that is cool.

where does the madness end….. oh wait it just started.
