I'm going to be setting up a web site for demo'ing my ASP programming skills. This will be yet another twist in my continuing (futile? pointless?) search for a job. I'm a bit concerned, because ASP.NET is way newer than ASP, but my hosting company doesn't support .NET, and I've never programmed in .NET. I think I will just write the ASP stuff, and then when they add .NET (they are looking into it) I can show that, as well.

I think I will write an automation application, and a shopping application. I will not actually do e-commerce, because so much of that has already been done, that you can just buy or steal the code. But I want to show that I know what I'm doing. I will not be able to actually do any work on it until next week, but better late than never.

I actually should have done something like this several months ago. But I am not going to berate myself for not thinking of it sooner. I'm just going to live in the now - I thought of doing it now, and just because I should have thought of it three months ago doesn't mean I should abandon the idea. It can still help me.
