Interesting the people you meet at the most unusual times

Yesterday was my nephews high school graduation party.  Yep my nephew graduated and my oldest son is going into middle school...I am getting old.

At the party my dad said I had to meet my nephews uncle that runs his own business doing what I do...I ask "oh what's that?" "COMPUTERS" I always get a kick out of that.  They never realize that that could mean anything.

A couple hours later after my wife had handed me my 8th Crown Royal and coke my nephews grandfather bring him over to meet me.

Turns out he runs pokerdream.com a for pay online poker site.  He told me the site was written in VB.NET and the poker rooms were written in C++.

I visited the site this morning and was really impressed with the design and layout of the site...very professional looking.

He's looking for someone to build an affiliate program for the site.  I told him about my experience with building banner ads tracker on MediaGab and how I thought that should work...now that I think about it I should of told him about RedStorm Sports and the Ad system we build for that as well...I guess I can thank my wife and the 8 cups of Crown Royal and coke for that.

We exchanged cards and talked about our nephew and his choice of college and his decision to go into Computer Science.  I was telling him I think he'll switch to IT eventually because I don't see him have the geekiness to like Computer Science once you get into the Science of it...I know I couldn't handle it and switched to IT in my third year....it's just more satisfying to make things work from existing software and applications then it is to build it from scratch.
