After being back in pune, it's more than a week now. making webpage has consumed more time than I expected. One or other issue/content enhancement/layout idea keeps on coming and stretching it. But I have also not been working consistently on this.
A hapazhard webpage was initially put in december/january. Making a decent and contentful page takes time. working over resume page took quite some time and revisions, as effectively I was making resume freshly. Lesson to be learnt - keep on updating resume also with time, as do for other documentation etc. in workplace. It's also beneficial in case you have very less time before sending a resume.
I haven't started applying yet. Have been postponing it till get the homepage and links referred in resume in shape, but looks like that I will have to do that even w/o that, the way homepage is taking time. Atleast I should be registering on couple more of job and freelance work websites now, as things take their own course and time to materialise. Have registered on naukri.com so far and it's still not more than 50% finished product.
Mail from some consultant had come telling me that I was sunil and I had earlier sent him my resume. I replied to him giving URL to my resume and correcting that I was not sunil. I don't hope that things will be the way I am looking forwards to, with this person and company for whom he is searching people.
I had planned to start formally applying, rather contacting the people who had earlier contacted me or whom i had informally enquired in recent past, since 7th, yesterday, but doesn't look like it will start even today. But I should send mail to atleast one contact today.
Now I need to work on freezing the contents of homepage page by page. In no case it should extend beyound 15th March. After that once in a while routine maintenance in couple of weeks, mainly because free-homepage hosting sites require some site updations etc. in a month or so to keep them active. But now I will simultaneously work on other tasks as well and reduce homepage work to parttime from full time. Let's see how this week turns out.

finally it's done. a reasonable page that can be referred to others, though with time contents will be improvised, as it is still not satisfactory to me. in any case i realised my talent of making homepages :-) and how much it is like documentation kind of work. though i haven't been full time on this, yet it consumes big time. progress doesn't look much at the end of the day. thinking of contents, layout, referrals, designs etc. is still takes quite some time. i sympathise with all the homepage designers out there.
realised that at two places 2004 has been mistyped as 2005 and a doc resume based on this page, I had sent to raju@heednet.com, the consultant who had contacted me as sunil.I didn't expect him to get back, as storage company that he was talking of, was a big company in pune and you know, how formal and boring environment often is in big companies. many would share that feeling.
in b/w have contacted only couple of people who had contacted me in past, or friends/teachers/acquaintaces. and even from a very small set there have been good responses. one of the contacts asked me if i would like to work on the idea, that i talked to him, as employee or PhD or startup of my own?
PhD is not financially viable option at this point in time. startup doesn't seem right choice at this moment. if it were completely in software, nothing to be done with (new) hardware, i would have thought of it. consultant/freelancer is what i am looking for. i have yet to make progress on it.
there had been another asking from an old pal, to join hands with him in his new venture.
another person from one of the old contacts wanted to meet.
and I still haven't yet formally started looking for work. I had planned to go for it after making my homepage first and then register on some job/consultant sites and contact people who are in this field. In any case I don't intend to start on things before april.
I have also been looking for non-CS work, homepage is also designed keeping that in mind as well.
enuf for the day... as it is i am late by 2-3 days from my schedule of 15th march. i would have done something, but a shoddy job it would have been if done in hurry. as the homepage that was put up starting december 15 and hurriedly something done on jan 6, had been quite shoddy stuff. if you had seen or manage to get hands on that sometimes, you would say that, as compared to even today's state.
