Next?

I had set aside today to work on other things but I got caught up with some bug fixes to the software that has eaten the last 4 hours. It was good though because I addressed some key issues. I will begin the special promotion soon to see if I can get some users. Recruiter from San Fran email today to tell me that the company has started phone interviews this week. Hopefully I'll get a call and then get an in person interview. Problem is, that I would have to fly out there for the in person and I am not guaranteed the job. Either way I would probably have to fly back and forth twice if I got the job. I found out the company name and it is a DVD creation software company. They make one of the most popular DVD creation products on the market, I think a lot of hollywood studios use their product to make DVDs. They also have an office in Tokyo, Shanghai and Taiwan. Maybe my Japanese and Chinese skills will interest them more than the average company. Along with the DVD authorting and multimedia projects that I have done. Who knows. In my daily tech research I recently came across browser features I didn't know about before and am itching to try out some new things for this blog and the software that will really be cool. I am kind of surprised that these features aren't used more since they are a few years old. The possibilities with these features are huge for those who can come up with something useful. I could effectively create a complete word processing clone in a browser that would be just as good as if not better in some aspects than OS based word processors. In fact the same could be done for spreadsheet programs and just about any program. With these features the browser has the chance to take over all office applications. Word processors, spreadsheets and email being the main apps. You could duplicate their functionality exactly and no one would know the difference. It would probably make them better. The only issue is Internet connectivity, but I would assume is most cases especially future cases Internet connectivity for the computer would be standard. This would be a massive project but it could be done.

I was just thinking about when I worked at MBNA and the pure ignorance of some people. I was just thinking about how all the so called "experts" on Oracle were baffled by certain things not working. The solution was so freaking basic is was appalling that these people ran this very expensive system that the company counted on. All those "experts" had been dumfounded by this problem or simply just ignored it. And they probably still are because they never took my advice on how to fix.
