So much for decompression!

I figured that today's plan was to decompress. I've been pretty intense the last four days or so (with various breaks for mini-trips and dine-outs) getting CoasterBuzz launched and tweaked, so I need time to sit around in my underwear and let my brain be stupid.

There were two things I did want to do today for the site: Get out an announcement e-mail of the relaunch, and explore some of the .NET-based iPhone Web app stuff that has already been created. I've not had a chance to do either one.

First off, I've had a flood of contact with recruiters for stuff that doesn't suck. Again, I'm pretty comfortable not working for another couple of months, so I'll wait for the right gig. A couple of calls were just to set some stuff up for this week.

The guy I had been holding out for called me today and explained that he was still a couple of weeks from kicking off the project he could hire me for, but had something else in mind as well. He apologized for the inaction, indicating that the company isn't big enough to self-fund hiring me just to retain me for six weeks. I certainly respect that.

Then I got e-mail from a really cool company based in Texas that handles communities and forums for big companies (like MySpace and Dell). They'd let me telecommute if they hired me. That could be a really interesting gig.

I planned to go see a movie this afternoon, but I just never got out the door.

What is this .NET-based iPhone Web app stuff of which you speak?

I downloaded the iPhone SDK, but haven't had a chance to play around with it yet.

Some .NET devs have played around with doing ASP.NET-based sites that target the iPhone Safari. I haven't looked very hard into it yet.
