I hate looking for a job

Job hunting is so stressful. Just today I had a recruiter call me on my cellphone asking a bunch of questions that could have been answered had he looked at my resume. Then he asks me if I know such and such skill. DUH! If I knew it, don't you think it'd be on my resume? Then he acts all apologetic and I can tell he wants to get off the phone as quickly as possible. EXCUUUUSE ME, Mr. Recruiter. I'm so sorry that I wasted your valuable time out of your pathetic life. Next time learn to read. You'll save yourself that 15 minutes you wasted and I might still have a shred of self-esteem left. Actually wasn't that bad on my self-esteem, but still...

Then I got an email from an interesting company. It looks like a great place to work just from the questions this person was asking. A lot of it dealt with open-source software as alternatives to commercial software. A couple of the questions I probably got wrong and I had to google to refresh my memory. I doubt I did well, but I'm hoping. I just hate this whole process...

blogging software and hosting

Ok, so I went out and bought some cheap webhosting at www.1and1.com. I got their free 6 month "BusinessPro" package and I want to blog on that site instead of this one. Do I need to have 1&1 install some blogging software for me? I didn't see it as an included application. I wonder if I can install my own.

I know there are tons of people out there that have done this. Anyone have any clues? What about using my own PC at home and set it up as a webserver. I have Earthlink cable service and according to them I can run a server. I have a dynamic IP though, what do I need to do to register my domain against it? Can you even do that?
