Well, bytebenders today had their interview with the only person contesting for the position of which I'm already filling. The person interviewed was a little green at the roots, and knew only microsoft, and only in a classroom sense. Thus, "I'm it." Tomorrow, I'll likely start to get paid to do what I'm already doing (and enjoying doing) which is nice. Now I just have to figure out how to get myself evicted from my apartment....
On a semi-related note, I built the hardware (and installed OS) for a new apache 2 server at bytebenders that is to have all the bells and whistles. I'm thinking of several proposals for future 'jobs' I can do there. Among other things, rewriting their accounts management software to be more modular, and display into a webpage -- allowing all functions to be done from a webpage. This allows a layer of abstraction, and will, in the long run (I think) allow for better compatibilty and suitability for their purposes.
Among other things that it would allow is dynamic user management. Such that making a change in their software would immediately take effect on the servers. Design would have to be thought through quite well, and perhaps some example code for the implementation would have to be set up beforehand.
The way shaw's internal software, CBS, works would be a good source to draw on as far as integration of customer info with system info. Of course, being designed as a web-form from the beginning will greatly help in the RAD development process.
Python would again be my language of choice, although I'll likely try out the twisted core for the app server.
In fact, I'm going to do that right now... more out of curiosity than anything... I'll likely try out the twisted core with my RPG as well...
