Always a good warning

As someone who has been job-hunting online, I’ve seen my share of these types of scam emails. I’m glad to see someone getting the word out about these things. The best ones though are the “we can help you get you a job, but we can’t give out any private information about how we do that, if you’re interested send us an email at xxxxx@yahoo.com with ‘more information’ in the subject line, and we’ll tell you how you can buy the information from us!”. How dumb do I look? (link via the Job Blog.)

Speaking of the job hunt, I’m currently facing a catch-22, if you will. I don’t, as a matter of principle, name the place I work anywhere on my blog. That means that I can’t really put up a copy of my resume and ask for suggestions about how it might be better.

  • Another aggregator!

    I’ve seen numerous pointers this morning to IntraVnews, an new aggregator that works along with Micorosoft Outlook. I might just have to try this out on the laptop. It’s free for personal use, I’d have to pay for it if I used it at work. I’ll probably download it tonight and see how it works…

    Back at work again this morning. Hoping that it won’t be as insane as yesterday.

    What I’ve been doing lately..

    In addition to tracking down mysteries of not getting virus def updates or Windows Update automatic downloads this week, I’ve also been working on a few other projects. The first thing I wanted to accomplish was using a trial edition of Microsoft’s Virtual PC 2004 to setup an NT Workstation install alongside my XP machine….

  • WMF

    I’m trying to come up with a creative use for the acronym WMF, but they all wind up something that wouldn’t be exactly G-rated. It’s that MF at the end, it’s too easy… Anyway, we were full on trying to get things secured against the WMF exploit in the office today. Our network folks threw…

  • It’s been a long week

    It really has. There’s just been so much going on at work, and outside work with doctor visits (nothing serious, no worries), board meetings, website updates, etc. But now we’re off the Vegas for 5 days of forgetting that I even have a job! I’m taking the laptop though, taking lots of photos, and I…
