I discovered the meaning of Business recently.
Especially new startup businesses, well kinda new it has been running since early this year but i guess that counts as new.
Anyway rambling again.
Business means busy-ness. just that. being busy most of the time doing little else that isn't related to the business.
I have been writing some software for a client that was going to be running on his server but that got taken back by his former business partner so he needed an entire office setup.
6 client machines and a server, kinda cool for a new startup doing an office setup but the coolest bit was he wants the whole system to run linux and me being a huge linux geek jumped at the chance. also being a huge KDE fan i decided that our preferred choice of distro (ie Kubuntu) would work rather nicely since i believe KDE is easier to use for people who are used to Windows.
So to make it even easier to keep updated i decided to run the clients as diskless workstations, which i have never done but that has never stopped me before, and have the server be the desktop for the Managing Director so all he has to do is click a few buttons stick in a password and the whole office gets updated.
So now (well once the thing gets delivered) we can call ourselves a Linux business.
This makes me happy because that was the original idea behind the business.
The software i am writing is fun because i got to write it in anthing i like.
So me being me i chose perl, well Catalyst to be exact. It is great because i needed to get back into perl programming and i get to do database programming and can avoid using SQL. I still need to finish the thing but it has taught me a bunch of new stuff which is always good.
