Well, thinking about the upcoming reorg, it makes me want to start a gentle sifting or networking. Execunet, (http://www.execunet.com), my favorite “job” site, has 17 Jaspers on it. Maybe I should contact them with my networking profile? I’m thinking about how to approach them. Do they get my jottings or are they on LinkedIn. It’s got to be sensitive.

Remember, your earning power is the single most valuable financial asset you control over your lifetime, more than your house or your investment portfolio. You can’t afford to let it be compromised by … …

MP3 surgery
Sunday, February 5, 2006Well time to bite the bullet. My favorite podcasters (http://www.freetalklive.com) have completely lost their technical mind imho and are now producing one fat, but still free, podcast for each three hour show. Now, you may or may not know but to fast forward my rca lyra mp3 player is a pia. Soooo, I have to bite the bullet and figure out how to split their mp3 into fragments. Argh. Cheaply and easily goes without saying. I wonder if that music player software I bought in moment of weakenss can do this. Hmmm.

“Cousin” Doreen is a “diversity champion”
Sunday, February 5, 2006Sunday 05 February 2006 @ 0900 EST
Dear “Cousin”,
RE: “Cousin” Doreen is a “diversity champion”
Found this snippet. Always happy to read about our “cousins”. I always thought that “diversity” was just plain good business. I don’t know why others don’t see it. If you have a fellow human being who wants to help, let them. Ok, maybe it’s not the way you’d a done it and maybe it’s not as good as you could have done it and maybe it was done with the same style that you’d a done it with, but bottom line it got done and yoou didn’t have to do it. I never have a problem with anyone helping me — man, women, green with yellow stripes, space alient. Bottom line I can use all the help I can get. And, I can’t be to fussy about who gives it to me. As I say, “common sense”. But, it’s nice to see a “cousin” making a positive mark in the ledger.
Nothing particularly new. NJ weather is very mild. Maybe no snow this year? Frau’s doing a little worse. Reorg at work still threatens. Deadly quiet on that front.
I still need ten NEW readers by July First or one active participant to avoid “failure”. Can you help?
Have a good day, and a great week.
“Cousin” John in New Jersey

a technology rant
Sunday, February 5, 2006i arose this morning form troubled sleep with visions of my writing dancing in my head. so i lept to key board, all ready to write. but first we have daily work to get out the way. my mail, my libertarian week of poddies to dl, check azureus, do reinke ramblings. Then to writing. ARGHHH! I was well underway to getting that all done when my net connect developed a balkiness. no browser could connect. no dns. couldn’t ping yahoo. so, dump the power at the cable modem and get out vzwbbie. power down the laptop to insert the pcmia card (i bought it to i’m VERY careful about it) bring the whole shebang back up. and guess what, yup you guessed it, my cable connect pops back and says ‘where have you been’ ARGH, ARGG! so i have just lost the better part of one of my creative hours for who knows what reason! argh, argh, argh!
