Programming

June 15, 2010 Posted by mitch | programming, thoughts, web-development, work | 0 Comments

I've been stressed lately... about work and such... mostly because I'm a sysadmin/network admin as my day job atleast.... but... because I understand programming... and that I enjoy it on a very small scale... and I have my opinions on whats good and what isn't... I've somehow been given responsibilities of being a programmer? I'm supposed to write code to make the pieces of things I'm in charge of work... which... when its just me or even a few other guys that will be using said code... i'm ok with... but lately... Its been about me writing a web app for FTP.... managing FTP users in a database... which that part is done... and its fine... but really there needs to be a decent non standard SFTP server that can pull from the same database... and also needs the ability to do random one off transfers... so we don't need to fill the database up with thousands of user accounts that are used once and never touched again.

Which again... all that... in and of itself isn't that big of a deal... only I really suck at front end work... I mean... look at this site? most of what is here... has been ripped from something else... I kinda picked the colors.... but even that was with some help... they layout... just search for CSS Layouts and find a three column blog style... and you'll probably find what I'm using... I'm not that good at front end work... so... I guess thats where my big hangup is... if I could get someone to write the frontends to my apps... and it wasn't costing me anything... i'd be all for it... need a yin to my yang so to speak... backend stuff I'm good at figuring out... making that look good.... HORRIBLE
