Making of a reasonable homepage

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.
