I've hit a productivity slump, even with non-personal sites, in spite of the stock market going "BOING!" Is there a correlation? No. Was that a random statement? Absolutely. Should I find it mildly disturbing that I'm talking to myself? Probably, but I don't.
Just got a new job...might as well mention after the fact that I formerly worked for Ciber. I really enjoyed the work and the people and the company vision, and I'm glad I was let go on good terms. Honestly, I was, but I'd rather not mention the details here...that would feel...unprofessional. As would mentioning who my current employer is.
brian, everybody's favorite webdesignin' and backpackin' Tennessean (Tennessian? Tennessite?) just redesigned. Again. 100% DIV-powered, and looks even better than the last layout. Good stuff.
Yale Accuses Princeton of Hacking.
Things Other People Accomplished When They Were Your Age: this is the sort of site that will ruin that good feeling you get when you're being productive. Naturally, at the top of the list for my age was Bill Gates (founded Microsoft), followed by Scott Olsen (founded Rollerblade), followed by Mary Shelley (wrote Frankenstein, an entry that they cheekily appended with "...which was immediately successful."). Charles Lindbergh (learned to fly) and Jane Austen (wrote "Pride and Prejudice") also made the list.
Julius Caesar has a blog. And y'all thought he was dead. A really good read, actually, based on Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic Wars, brought to us by Daragh Sankey. Link found via blogroots, a fascinating blog about...blogs.
thanks for the link!
i have a question.why is it considered unprofessional to reveal who you work for? I work for an extremely small company, so I guess it could be different here, but I'm curious as to how. Enlighten me. :)
good question...I dunno, it's just a personal conviction, I guess. Maybe if I start saying some things about what's going on at work, that may cast a negative light on the company (though I didn't really do that with Ciber...). I dunno...with blogs and personal sites being accessible to anyone, I guess I just like keeping my personal and professional lives separate.
