My Project

I finally have an idea for personal project, design and implement a project management system in django and or pylons. What better subject matter than the struggle you face everyday, and I can look to some of the project management literature I have for inspiration and ideas. Some other points of interest

 * Make the system Unicode aware.
 * Start as an independent package.
 * Once I have it hosted use for tasting at work, if I'm still there.

Note: Still looking for a new job, it is awful having a supervisor that does not understand or appreciate what you do. It is even worse when they feel threatened by what you do because they don't understand software engineering, and try to micromanage you as a way to compensate for their feelings of insecurity.

Hopefully I can get some experience and maybe some attention from this project that could lead to new opportunities for me. One can hope.

Orwell

I am almost finished reading Animal Farm and I really identify with Boxer, though I would like to think I am more like Snowball. Boxer while being the physically strongest of the animals is the most vulnerable and in need of protection. All Boxer wants is to see the farm succeed and do his fare share or more if necessary but his simple and good nature are taken advantage of by Neopoleon. In my current job I know the feeling all too well.
