Geek jobs [pb]
Update: Several neat positions open, not just QA.
Update 2: Geek jobs. Not joobs. I don't know what that meant either.
So it looks like txgreengoddess' company is hiring additional geeks. It's a (well-funded) new company, a spinoff from a think-tank in that region-that's all I know. More importantly, she highly recommends it as a workplace. Looks like an ( Read more... ) -
suggestions for reviewing [pb]
I've worked a lot this week. Today's hassle: fighting with LDAP from 9pm to 11:30. I missed a Cork outing with txgreengoddess and ruato, because I was screaming at a yast dialog box.

on the folly of being human [pb]
I gather this is a classic paper in management literature: a discussion of how rewards and punishments for a person's actions often aren't actually aligned with desired behavior. Nothing too surprising, actually, which is acknowledged in the afterword; the contribution seems to be bringing the topic up. It's an interesting and thought-provoking ( Read more... ) -
recycled glass gravel [pb]
So apparently, the city of Austin is using a pulverizer to turn glass recyclables into non-sharp fragments-around the size of pea gravel-which they will give you for use in landscaping. It's cheaper than pea gravel (because it's free), environmentally responsible, and very pretty.
I learned about this from nyogtha and ayla_geffen, who were kind enough to let me ( Read more... ) -

oh dear god [pb]
I just spent 40 minutes choosing emoticons. I do not need another full-time obsession. I hope you all like my emoticons and journal style, because it ain't changing.
