You know I had this debate once before.
I was a clock in clock out type of guy, but when at home I didn't have internet access and a partner that refused me to run a server. What we do for love L Anyway, I got into a debate because I could not keep up with blogs and such during work hours. And I was seen as a black goat to the industry, yet when I had a chance, not hard core. But hard enough to R&D ideas, I couldn't get it through to certain people that sometimes one has to take a stance... And although I had ideas, and what if's and tried these in what time I could get. It wasn't enough. Does that make me not good enough?

FFS! not FUD from them too?) Personal Projects can use COBOL for all that matters, the point is - does this person love to program, or do they just clock/clock out. The clock-in/clock-out folks are good, and nothing taken away from them, but are they creative enough to get the job done? that's the intent, to determine can this person do the work ahead of them. That and determine if this person day dreams a lot (which you can coach and contain/work around).

Funny you should say that, I have a few personal projects but more based on PERL and JavaScript, none in ColdFusion at this point in time, but the way I'm going with the progress of my main project, I may have to consider the possibility of porting the project to ColdFusion anyhow... It seems that the jobs I have managed to get have all involved this mentioning of my personal programming projects... Maybe that's what I'll need to keep doing... By the way, KC, do you still have that URL of that Seek role you mentioned, see your previous and my previous posts... -- Eliseo --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
