El Indio mentioned (in a now deleted thread) that he wanted to do a Startup with me. Speculate on what his idea is.

Well, I assumed it was supposed to be some sort of business venture. But now I'm curious.
I knew a guy who wanted to start up a porn site with me...he had a couple of girls and he felt I had the tech knowledge.
Later he told me that those girls moved to Vegas to become hookers.
oh ok, well, i dont really know
something tech related. i think my brilliant idea is that you move to PDX and we become on-site tech support for cheap. cheaper than the other guy. also, naked.
so, not really a start-up, more of a sad little business idea.
and we'll get a van. with a logo on it. and a slogan/tagline/whatever
NAKED GUYS DIGGIN' IN YOUR BOX

you're killing my dreams
in all honesty, i would LIKE to break into the IT world, but, im finding that difficult to do.
i just want like, some junior junior junior sysadmin OTJ training
im taking Server 2003 in the fall. but, i cant even find a place to volunteer for real-world experience.
A friend of mine collected footage from wild parties during college, with the dream of one day using that to start a porn site. Then, surprising everyone, including himself, he graduated, on time even, and got an IT job for a government contractor, which he assumed would prepare him for running a porn site.
Due to weird budget issues, he ended up doing software development, while only getting paid for sysadmin work. It was bullshit, and he knew it, but he waited until he had made himself indispensable before he complained about it. This mastery of office politics earned him a promotion directly to managing developers, and he's now making a fortune and throwing wild parties for his employees on the weekends.
All this because he chased his dream of starting a porn site.

It depends. Is "startup" anything like a "mayan taco"?
