the p2p chapter is almost done - pretty easy really, i didn't even need to do that much research; it all just kind of spewed straight out of my head. easy money. i think i'm a good writer, i've always wanted to write a book really - now i'm thinking that i should go ahead with it. i have a good topic in mind, and it'll make me do some coding for the examples as well ;) always a bonus. working on [idea] has been put aside until friday, which actually is good - a few days away from it has given me some objectivity, and i know what's wrong with the writeup. it's going to be good, and i'm very positive about getting cash to start it.

damn, i want "vi mode" in this little html text box.

p.f., my old manager from [bigtech], introduced me to a guy that just retired from [bigtech] and now wants to do something on his own. he has an idea for a web-based business, and wants my advice on the feasibility. if it sounds interesting, he wants me to do the prototype on contract, which i think i'll be happy to do, although i'm not sure how much he can pay me right off - which is the problem; i really can't do it if i'm not going to get a paycheck. hopefully he's got some cash reserves to tempt me with.

grampa is - the same really. living is a strong habit.
