More work at home..

So after another eventful Monday at work, mostly with routine junk, email updates, and Staff Meetings that are normal for Mondays, I went home with even more work to do. No, I didn’t give Red Hat another try. After that debacle I needed to actually accomplish something, so I started work on the Job Search 20003 Access database. Here’s my thoughts:

I wanted something where I could list 2 things. One, a list of all the jobs and companies I’ve already sent resumes to. Secondly, a list of all the “top” companies to work for in my target cities, and links to their websites, especially if they have job postings on them. Then, I wanted to be able to access these lists in a number of ways, either by searching out the Company Name, or giving a list by city.

I have a bunch of other thoughts, and I certainly don’t have anything close to the finished product right now, but I’ve got a start, and it’s something to grow with. I think the next step is going to be finding lists of “top” companies in each of the metro areas that Angela and I are interested in living in. Once I start gathering that data it’ll be easier to envision what queries and reports I’d want on to run on it. So, anyone know where I could find such lists for Columbus, OH; all of North Carolina; Richmond and Roanoke, VA; Knoxville and Chattanooga, TN; Columbia, SC; or Atlanta?

    Linked – IBM bans all removable storage, for all staff, everywhere

    It makes sense, even if it does prove to be a royal pain every once in awhile. I’ve seen this policy in place on occasion, including when we wanted to do training using USB keys for the software licenses. Had to work around that! “Big Blue’s doing this because “the possible financial and reputational damage…

    Not that the newsletter isn’t always useful, but I just read the latest Spyware Info and I highly recommend it. It’s got a little bit of everything, including bits about RFID tags, fake spyware tools, SBC’s appalling behavior in California, and a good argument for privacy rights in general. Good stuff.. Update: There’s been an…
