The World According To Woj

Wednesday, November 26, 2003

Crazy thing happened to me the other day. I'm currently working on the Pathfinder Associates contract. They are a fairly small design firm. They share their office space with two other small companies and a newspaper reporter. So, I was walking through the office and glanced down at some of the samples from one of the other companies and what do you think I find? ...the marchFIRST annual report! LOL. Yes, this small firm designed the m1 annual report. I tell you, it's a really small world.

My contract is still continuing but, I may be finished as early as Dec. 5th or 12th. We integrated and implemented and everything is on its way. The application is getting fairly stable and we're just about done. The only good thing is that the client wants to do some Phase 2 modifications and I might get 1-2 months more work out of it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

In the meantime, I'm still sending out resumes and responding to ads. And, I'm building my website again. I'm starting with a revamp of the look of this blog and then creating an online resume. My homepage is http://www.wojzworld.com.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just got into work on this chilly Thursday morning and couldn't help but think of all of my friends out there. So, I decided to say hello through here to all of you.

I loaded up the browser and started typing my message only to find that when I type, it comes out on screen in Arabic. Yes, that's the crazy world I've been in for almost three months now....thinking, typing, and building HTML with Arabic in mind.

Pathfinder Associates gave me a laptop last week to make life a little easier. It's all setup with the Arabic language support for our project. I've been building HTML that reads Right-to-Left (rtl) and types rtl and comes out all squiggley. Here's a sample button from our project that says "change days"...

Hi Gang,

Fall is taking away all of the leaves from the trees and life goes on into winter. I'm not looking forward to the cold months ahead.

Well, as weird as it may seem, my 3 week contract is moving towards 3 months now. We're still fine tuning this Arabic browser-based, client-server application and it's starting to look really good. I still don't know if today will be my last day, or tomorrow, but I keep just being thankful that I'm still working. No complaints....

As you may have noticed, I moved this blog to my own server. I'm starting to rebuild my Website "Woj's Twisted World". I had the original site up from 1996-2000?....2001? Since I know a lot more, I'm really paying attention to what I do this time and how I do it. So, check back once in awhile to see what happens. It should be interesting.

I'm still also working part-time, pro bono for the American Lung Association. I just built them a long, long, long survey for the Cowalunga bike tour.

As for my personal life, I'm still single and looking ...and my son is doing great. He's been moved to an accelerated learning program. I'm very proud of him.

Til next time....Keep on plugging away.

Woj
