Dog Days of Summer

I've experience a slight setback with socks. I discovered that I'd somehow added an extra stitch, and since I couldn't figure out where this happened, I had to rip back to a row with the normal amount of stitches. Yes, I could have done a normal k2tog somewhere, but this is a patterned sock and it would have bugged me. Fortunately, with diligent knitting, I should be back to where I was before ripping out.

Wonder of wonders, I've got not one, but two job interviews. One today and one tomorrow. We'll see how it all pans out. Although I'm feeling dicey about the interview for tomorrow . . . I did some checking around on this company and have a gut feeling all isn't what it seems to be.

Today is going to be another hot, hot day. Heat index is supposed to be between 110 to 115. Ouch. Right now I feel like taking a nap but can't because of the interview I've got to go to (which fortunately is only about 15 minutes away from here).

Will I be selling this Knitting Inventory app? No. The database structure itself is open source and only for personal use. And besides, you need to have ColdFusion installed. It's a server app with special features, which requires some geeky knowledge in order to install, and of course at least a minimum knowledge of programming.

However, word is that Adobe is working on technology that will allow one to create stand-alone ColdFusion applications that you can just drop into your Applications folder and run right off the desktop. If that does happen, of course I'll be taking a look at this.

I suppose someone can whip up a PHP version - it'd be great if someone could take Sheila's database schema and do their own version. I would do this myself, but I don't know PHP, and it'll take me a while to get familiar with this.
