I'd love to do it all myself, but just dont think its possible. Anyone interested in discussing business ideas?

a project = no free time for sometime will sux for all

I'm interested. You don't make any real money until you are your own boss.

...thats exactly the way I feel

[s0ftimage]

Well, Al.. whatever the business.. we'll need to raise cash.

I propose we pimp Darren... I think he'd be good for VIP clientele... we could work him 2-3 hours a night; put him on craigslist. thoughts?

I even have the ad ready (with corrected flag; sorry, I failed most of my classes)

[TROOPER]

HaHa, that's exactly how I spend my weekends

I'd be less offended if the flag was not upside down though ...

The ideas we can discuss at the next meet.. for anyone interested:

This is where I am at:

I wrote an application in Visual Basic 6 that I think could be fined-tuned (good enough to sell for a few dollars). If the main idea sells, we have to re-write it, because it wont grow/scale in its current condition. I want it, or any other desktop like idea to be Enterprised based ($100,000 per company on licenses.. thats how much we pay for Ent. license for any crappy software).

I sank $800 last night to buy Visual Studio .NET 2010. I already found a few architectures, so that I dont have to start from the ground up. Now problem with .net and the architectures is requiring users to install .net 4 or silverlight and the deep learning curve with the architecture.

I think the biggest money maker will be a web site. I registered the company, selected a .NET infrastructure (DotNetNuke), deployed a blank web site to the world, and I am ready to design/build.

If you are all Java developers, I know Java good enough to fix any problem or build a module; not good enough to write an application or web site from the ground up. But I make a living supporting three web sites that run on a Java infrastructure (web servers, weblogic/websphere, maven, hudson, subversion, logs, debugging, datacenter experience). Java is free, but at work we pay like $20,000 for weblogic licences (per server). I hope there is cheaper hosting out there.. but our hosting costs are in the millions.

what do you guys know?

The Devin Townsend Project is interesting, although I like his heavier stuff with Strapping Young Lad better. If you don't know S.Y.L., here's a fun fact for ya. Gene Hoglan, their drummer, is the guy who plays drums now for Dethklok in the studio.

Just checked out some of Devin Townsend and it's still gonna be brooooootal live at Jaxx....the club is so small!!

[2theextreme]

Yep....I'm liking it!




Pretty funny comment left on this video:

"All Devin's genius was concentrated in the front of his head so thats why he never grew hair there, and now it's even greater and he doesn't have hair at all."

I know I didn't pay $800 for VS 2010 .... It's called BitTorrent, look into it

And you don't have to write in .Net 4, that just means you have .Net 4 features available... You can still write and compile for .Net 3 or 3.5

Oh, and as this thread was for us to talk crap (not work)... Yo momma has hairy boobs ...

Not till Shadow drags Mustang into the thread in a nutlock...

We would also need to get Whitney in here to bust a cap in Frank and then the thread would be just about perfect...
