Random Updates
Random update:
My camera is dead....sort of. After a recent fall from about 6 or 7 feet onto concrete, it's acting VERY weird.
One day the camera will not even turn on.
The next day, it might take garbled pictures like this:

As a lesson in controlling myself, last week I decided not to eat anything for 2 days. Only water. It's not difficult to give up chocolate or coffee etc....but to give up a basic requirement of life requires a bit more self control. Instinct gets involved and tells you to eat.
I didn't learn much from this failed attempt, other than I get really hungry after 24 hours.

To further improve my knowledge, I am starting to learn about databases. There are all sorts of free MySQL tutorials over the web, so I have already started doing them with my spare time.
If you know the ins and outs of databases, you can integrate them with existing shopping cart software to do some pretty amazing things. You can also create customized solutions for businesses in need of automation.

I mentioned I had a new bussines venture underway a little while back. I've registered two domains, and I'm slowly creating content for the first site.
I have been trying out all sorts of different software to get the site to act the way I want. Hopefully the database experience might help....or else I will hire a student with database experience to do it for me. The business should be online innnnn.......a month?
I took a picture with my camera of a formal business plan I drew out so you can see what the business is:

I guess I would have not lasted as much as you lasted with no food.
Any tips on how to create a 'formal buisiness plan'? Where did you learned to create them?

Your Friend,

This has given us expertise that we have been able to take to our clients, and build them databases with web-based interfaces, to automate their processes and make important information available to their employees. These are large companies with their own IT departments, and yet they are amazed by what we are able to do for them, just by implementing what we see as obvious database solitions for their business niche.
I believe that anytime you see a business where the employees are regularily writing stuff down, looking shit up in manuals/catalogs/file cabinets, calling people up to ask questions, or dependent on experts, there is an oportunity to make money for someone who wants to build a custom database for their particular business niche.
