Yes, I’ve been into lolcats and lolcode recently.  I’m also almost done my crappy factory job (because they’re laying everyone off).  This means I may be looking for a lot of freelancing stuff.  I’ve applied at a half-ok IT job that I may get for the next two months (I have an interview set up), but no idea.  It’s a long commute too.

Ok, but let’s make this relevant (because I’m also posting it on my tech blog!).  Seeing great jobs you can’t get is annoying!  Like one I’m looking at right now over at Ning.  They’re looking for a new developer advocate to replace Yoz (at least, I assume it’s to replace him since he left and that was his job…).   I would LOVE that job.  Work for Ning, do what I love, get paid for it, all the best of life at once.

There are, of course, hangups.

1. I do not, and do not particularly want to, live in Palo Alto, CA.  The biggest reason why not is that I’m starting school come fall and would have to move back, although family plays a part here too.
2. I am starting school come fall.  I can’t work full-time and do school full-time (at least, not in a way that would please both my employers and professors).
3. I do not have a degree.

The last one is kind of stupid.  I know I’ll learn a lot getting a degree, but my experience with Ning the last two years ought to say something.  Of course, I’ve never written an actually successful app.  This is mostly because I suck at PR and get my fingers in too many pots at once.  Whatever, the other two reasons are rather huge themselves.

Ok, so that’s my rant-ramble-uselessness.   In case you’re wondering, I am getting back to you.  Give me time.  I know I have a lot of messages from you.  I’m busy.  😉

I have created a Dreamhost promo code!  Just enter promo code SINGPOLYMA when registering for Dreamhost and save $10 on your purchase!  Not only that, but you’ll be supporting my work with $80 towards my hosting that Dreamhost gives me for referring you!  Pretty neat, eh?

Yes, my financial situation has turned me into an evil blogger, with Adsense in my header.  Hopefully it doesn’t bother you too much 🙂

I would also like to plug the wonderful new app bVibes — Digg for small blogs.

I have also added a plugin to allow one-click comments (which are more like ratings) that let you say, anonymously, how much and in what way you like the post.

Hello loyal and less loyal readers!

Recently, my blog (and entire site, really) has been… down. Or at least dead slow. It was a problem with my cache plugin (wp-cache) which I have since resolved with the help of a friend.

You might be annoyed by my main page looking like it’s messed up. It draws its data from videntity.org, which is currently down. It probably should cache the data in the future to prevent this happening again.

If you want to see updates from me and this main site is down, check me out on Facebook or Xanga.

It’s so true!  Many times when using Facebook I find that there’s no way to properly describe my relationship to a person with their options!  TechCrunch (and Dave Winer) has some great ideas on what they could do to add some more.  I hope they do it!
