I have no more information. {Sargent Shultz says “I know nuthin, Nuting, Nothing at all”!} I put it all in the post. Writing me for more info is a waste of your time and mine.

If you’re interested, leave a blog comment with your name and email. I’ll either send you the contact info, or forward your info to them. Depending upon what they prefer. Either way, you’ll get something back from me.

Note: Don’t put your email in the comment itself unless you want spam from a trollbot. The comment form allows you to put your name, email, and website address.

You might want to include a link to a http://www.emurse.com/ resume or such similar site. I recommend making oneself easy to be found.

You might want to take time to write a short cover on it. You never know who reads these things. You might find your own lead from it (i.e., someone, looking to hire an X, finds me saying someone is looking for X, and ‘poaches’ all the people who responded.). YMMV

Good luck and good hunting.

TECHNOLOGY: Take care GOOGLE DOCS

Tuesday, June 17, 2008

I was using Google Documents to write my story. I’ve been burnt several times in doing this on various platforms and softwares. This was no different but surprised me. I was banging away stringing words and poof! Poof?! All my pearls disappeared. I was in a dither. Poking around it was was back to its original state. Lost about an hour’s worth of work. Kept looking and thinking. Found something in the Help about ‘revisions’. There I found my awol text. replaced by something. I copied it to an email and gave up in disgust. Argh!

LIBERTY: Gooferment should have no role in defining marriage

Tuesday, June 17, 2008

http://news.yahoo.com/;_ylt=Am_Q6uX2hi5hKj.cyy69k25Aw_IE

*** begin quote ***

SAN FRANCISCO – Dozens of gay couples were married Monday night after California became the second state to allow same-sex nuptials, offering a preview of the euphoria and anger to come as gay couples from across the nation head west to wed.

*** end quote ***

Here’s yet another example of gooferment being in stuff where it should have no role. Marriage originated in the Church. The tax policy flowed over into the gooferment picking winners and losers. It gets people fighting among themselves as opposed to fighting the politician trying to rn everyones lives.

RANT: Much ado about nothing — the Olympics

American Becky Hammon Called ‘Traitor’ for Representing Russia at the Olympics
Posted Jun 15th 2008 9:55AM by Michael David Smith
Filed under: Women’s Sports, USA

*** begin quote ***

Becky Hammon is an American who plays for the WNBA’s San Antonio Silver Stars. She’s also going to play in the Olympics in Beijing — but not for Team USA.

Instead, Hammon will play for Russia’s Olympic basketball team. Hammon has no Russian ancestry, but she has played professionally in Russia, and she became a Russian citizen to aid her basketball career. In the eyes of the International Olympic Committee, that’s good enough for her to play for Russia.

That doesn’t sit well with some in this country. During a CNN interview, Team USA women’s basketball coach Anne Donovan referred to Hammon as a “traitor.” Similar sentiments were expressed today on ESPN’s Outside the Lines.

*** end quote ***

WHO CARES!

It’s not like the Olympics means anything.

Except maybe to keep the illusion of ‘country’ going.

XPfails – luggable – Maybe the BSODs were due to BITTORRENT?

Monday, June 16, 2008

I took down bit torrent (i.e, Utorrent) and no BSODs. Causality or coincidence? 9AM to 2PM and no problem?
