progI stopped panicking about money after I was reminded that my accounts receivable has got stuff in it. This is not money in the bank, but it is the next best thing, and it's from clients who are good about paying on-time. I am fine.
All that said, looking for more work remains my ay-numbah-wun priority. Things I did this afternoon included uploading my resume to dice.com and setting up Google Reader to start eating various job sites' RSS feeds. I was pleased to see that many sites let you subscribe to feeds with search strings attached, and happy to see that, say, "perl telecommute" is rather well represented.
The Andys and I met for an in-person webclient test this evening, and quickly found some zonkers that I wouldn't have ever found by myself. On the other hand, the damn thing is running on a volity.net subdomain and actually working in every other way. I'll fix these bugs in the next day or two and resubmit them to my colleagues. It would be nice to agree that it works before I vanish for vacation on Saturday. (Well before, actually.)
But, yeah. It's October, so there is now undeniable schedule slip. But there's equally undeniable release-type activity happening now, so I am not sad.
Saturday night![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mr_choronzon had a little birthday gathering. I was reminded that I forgot to blog about one of the most WTF things that's happened to me this year, when he and I and lone_phaedrus were hanging out at his place a few weeks ago. Somehow the conversation turned to nunchucks, which is allowed because Mr. P is a ninja. Mr. C's reaction to this was to produce a pair of nunchucks and commence to flipping them around with the genuine skill and confidence of someone's demo reel.
I was as WTF about this as you'd be if, like, some random friend of yours suddenly did exactly the same thing. I guess it'd be less completely reality-jarring if we were all, like, 15, but this was just odd. In a delightful way.
