>know when your autobiography comes out
With the cheap publishing available from Lulu, there’s no reason that people don’t have an ongoing autobiography. Update it, publish it, and use it as a job search aid?
:-)
But, it is “do-able”.
***
An interesting way to self publish anything. Maybe I’ll schedule an autobiography. Now we just need a ghost writer web20 application.

How do you settle into a good job with prospects instead of falling into the “McDonald’s” category ?
Im 19, went to college to study IT, did my year course in it and now i’m stuck. I’m in and out of just stupid places with no real place to end up. Iam still not sure what i want to do as a career but i thought doing a course in IT would benefit me as nearly all jobs have computers involved. I dont want to be 30 and scanning tills, any advice ?. Where you in a ever similar position to this ?
*** end quote ***
I’ve been working in IT for decades and I’m still learning. How you learned it in one course is astonishing? And, you’re young; so there’s lot left for you to do.
One never “settles into a good job”. You’ll have, if the averages are right, between 5 and 10 “jobs” during your 45 year working career. You’ll have good jobs, bad jobs, and jobs somewhere in between. Get ready for a roller coaster ride.
May I suggest my “patented copyrighted and often repeated” strategy? (Just jesting)
You need an education for a white collar job, a blue collar skill, and one or more “internet businesses”? Off to school to get a degree. And, get that white collar job.
Don’t spend a lot of money getting skills or education. Often employers had tuition refund and employer provided. As a matter of fact, be ruthless about not getting into debt. Work relentlessly for several reasons — to learn “stuff” — earn money — get experience. Get a blue collar skill — plumber, carpenter, electrician — to fall back on.
And, since you’re now a computer expert, or at least computer literate, look into creating an internet-based business. Don’t spend money on scams. But try to sell “stuff” on ebay. Help others get their businesses on the net. Do things like that.
I think you’re in a great place. You’re young with endless opportunities. Start seizing them.
I’m around for further questions, or dialogue. Let me know how you make out,

FEEDBACK TO the free, and unequaled, wordpressdotcom
I am taking between gobs and gobs squared of spam comments daily for the past few days. I don’t understand exactly how they are doing it but “we” (i.e., you need to do something). I have “comments require approval” so nothing is getting thru. But “you” must be spending grazillions of cycles with this trash. Time for a challenge response system to ensure that there’s a human on the other side of the glass?
# # #
RESPONSE FROM SUPPORT
Challenge systems stop commenters.
They also stop people who are visually impaired.
There is no solution.
# # #
MY REJONDER
How about an option that require the commenter to be an authenticated “user” (i.e., setup an id, not necessarily a blog, with a unique uid – password, and a validated email. Seems like that’s pretty common. Or any of the other Open Id type systems?

could some one tell me how much 850.00 and 500.00 English pounds in US dollars?
*** end quote ***
Use Google for all conversion questions.
Put “500.00 pounds sterling” in the Google search box and it pops back
500.00 British pounds = 992.05 U.S. dollars
AND
850.00 pounds sterling
850.00 British pounds = 1 686.485 U.S. dollars

It’s fish and fishing. Give some one a fish; Teach someone to fish! Now you can convert anything?

Is A Blogger A Journalist, A Citizen, Or Both?

Greetings!
For those who don’t know, one of my gigs is writing for
ConsumerAffairs.Com, a fairly popular Web news site that focuses on
consumer issues. One of our reporters, Joseph Enoch, was recently
kicked out of the Senate press gallery on grounds that he wasn’t a
“real” reporter:

Restricting access to the People’s Palace is not the purview of a “palace guard”, komisars, or petty dictators. We pay the taxes for it, and imho, we set the rules for it. Bloggers are the people’s journalists! Self-appointed and self-credentialed is fine with me. What is the “U.S. Senate Press Gallery” anyway and why do they have “officials”? I sure hope my taxes aren’t paying for them as well.

FROM THE MLPF FORUM

>It has been brought to my attention, that the moderator of this forum
Guess some one didn’t get the memo that it’s a “moderated” forum. Having had my hand slapped a time or two, here and elsewhere, I don’t understand how it’s “unhealthy”? Guess we’ll never know what was meant. Can I get cancer from falling asleep reading posts? Or printing them out and leaving them on my lap? I know, I know, it’s causes Global Warming. To many moderated electrons causes friction.
Sorry, but it’s frustrating. Like slamming the door out of the room after you lose an argument with your spouse. But that’s redundant. “Argument with spouse” is identical to “losing”. But, you get the idea.
(I have now “slammed” the send button as a point of de-emphasis. You didn’t pay attention. I’ll do it again!)

Hey there Fjohn, I had unsubscribed to MLPF, but was lured back to check the recent posts via web to find the very delightful “Goodbye MLPF” post reminiscent of “Goodbye Cruel World” and had a good laugh at your reply. You’re way too funny for the internet but I missed seeing your posts and thought to stop by and subscribe to your blog to get my fjohn fix ;) Hope all is well! Nadine

Typical womanly behavior slam the door on the way out, but has to “peek” to see if it had the desired effect. I thought you might look to see who and what reaction it had.
>find the very delightful “Goodbye MLPF” post
>reminiscent of “Goodbye Cruel World” and had a
>good laugh at your reply.
Now, maybe you’ll make the dramatic re-entrance, announcing “I’m back” because my adoring public needed me.”?
>You’re way too funny for the internet
My wife reminds me “you think you’re so funny?”.
>I missed seeing your posts and thought to stop by
>and subscribe to your blog to get my fjohn fix ;)
Well, you are easily entertained. I don’t cross post everything. Too lazy. But enjoy.
> Hope all is well! Nadine
As you can tell from my blog, I’m pumping out random bursts of energy. Your blog has been strangely silent. New job tough? Growing out of the narcissistic medium? Getting a real life. :-)

Has HOUSE jumped the shark? (Reference the end of Happy Days when Fonzie ski jumps a shark and after that the ratings tanked.) You only dump the supporting cast when the writers have no more good ideas for them?
If I was a writer, and I’m not. I’d try a metaphor like “House is actually running an honors class in diagnostics. Each year (season) the oldest “graduates” and “newbie” joins. Then the writers have a parade of fresh faces to insult, torture, and write about. It would feel like real life. You could have the good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s be fun!
I found some very Libertarian themes in the show. It’s all about being correct. Political correctness be darned. Girls cause trouble. Stereo typing is a human aptitude. I’ll watch in the reruns for them.
One great line. She slowly wakes up and asks if she’s in Heaven. “No – this is New Jersey.” House replies. I’d have said “Hell”.
You’d think that the show would work in PSAs in the show itself. Take propaganda to a new level. The warning signs for diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. Admonishments about taking all your antibiotics or staying on your meds. Advice about mental illness and depression. The show COULD be an entertaining source of medical advice as opposed to yet another soap opera.

Yeah! Happy dance time. I just made 400 points. (Heck, Frau and I play in the seaside arcade for the points as a competition and then give the tickets to little kids. It’s about scoring meaningless points and “winning”.)
