Yes, I know it's most likely just one of those automated deals that a lot of bands/celebrities use to populate their Twitter BUT ... you can't tell me that it isn't pretty cool to log in and discover that Foreigner is now following you (especially when you didn't follow them first). ‪

Probably belongs in the pet peeves thread but somebody mentioned LinkedIn above and made me think of it... if you are a technical recruiter you need to know the difference between SQL the procedural language and Microsoft SQL server. My job title is Database Engineer and (somewhat obviously) SQL is one of my most endorsed skills, that doesn't mean I'm in any way qualified or want your job with 8-10 years of SQL Server experience. In fact if you paid any attention, you'd notice that SQL Server is probably the one main RDBMS that I don't have listed, and that's for a reason.

I've just started ignoring them at this point, even if it does bite me if I'm ever looking for a job later. Also, while SQL Server isn't a terrible product it does make me realize how many businesses just run things because it's MS. Seems like 8/10 jobs out there are for that platform.

LinkedIn recruiters arent even reading your bio.

Again referencing my friend above, who is a recruiter, and VERY successful at it. He has a personal goal of 50 invites per job opening, per day. The net gets larger and less qualified... to the point where he once told me at some point he will find 1 good candidate and just ping every one of his contacts.

This seems totally ineffective to me but based on the number of folks he places it must work out ok

I'll just quote myself, but I got the Magic Trackpad in the mail today and it's pretty sweet. Not sure if it's $70 sweet, but it works pretty flawlessly thus far and is good about recognizing all of the Mac gestures.

Similarly, I am a spacecraft systems engineer. People see "systems engineer" and they think computers/networks, not satellites. It's not even recruiters or head-hunters, it's the stupid automated ads. I hate that. Job searching for a spacecraft systems position can be...interesting.

So, I picked up a case of wine and a case of beer this week.

Actually, there were 6 22oz beers and two four packs, so in reality, more like 20 beers, not a full 24.

Standard case of wine which is 12 bottles.

The randomness comes in that the cost of the beer case was more than the wine. Confirmation that craft beers have jumped the shark.

Had my surgery yesterday. Umbilical and Inguinal hernias removed. I am bruised from Belly Button to groin.

I hurt from the surgery, but the hernia pain is gone and I am happy for that.

Now, it's time to focus on making the rest of the year amazing!

I took down my resume a while back but I was a "field engineer" (i.e. the guy with a screwdriver and part) for a large computer company a while back so I still get recruiters looking for people wanting construction help

Which is a whole other pet peeve of mine.

"Engineer" is one of the professional exempt job classifications. Historically regardless of job function or education unless you were a registered P.E. you could not hold a job with the title of Engineer. In fact in an unenforced NC state law it is actually illegal to employ someone as any form of engineer who is not a registered professional.

I have a(n) EE degree but never went through the EIT -> PE test and licensing process and have never used the term or referred to myself as an engineer...in fact when I went back to work last year I specifically required the company to change my title from sales engineer to something different. Yet every field tech we hire is a field engineer and it grates my nerves. Not sure why it just does. As a result I always refer to them as techs not FE...and we have one who will correct me every time.

Set 1 comes, everything works out of the box for a couple of weeks. Then I notice that the middle candle's blue color didn't work anymore. I attempted to contact the manufacturer, but couldn't be sure I emailed the right place. So I bundle them up, ship them back to Amazon for a refund and write a 1 star review.

The seller contacts me a few days later. They're obviously chinese (last name + difficulty with the English language), but they're trying to set things right. They offer to send me a new set of candles completely for free if I'll change my review. I said I would update my review and I was very impressed with their response. After all, they could have just not responded at all.

Set #2 arrives. The middle candle is DOA. I had already updated my review, so I contacted them and told them that the middle candle was dead. They said they would check with their warehouse and get back to me. That was a week ago. I was set to go back to Amazon and change my review again when a box showed up at my door today.

Set #3. Wow!!! Amazing customer service!!! Except 2 of the 3 are DOA. What...the...hell? So I've emailed them yet again.

So do I one-star the product on Amazon because it keeps dying or do I five-star it for them trying to get me a working set even though they know I returned the original set for a refund?

Changed my Amazon review back to a 1 star. Company emailed me and asked why...

Really?

So apparently a robot is playing a human at ping pong tomorrow? Like the missing plane, this feels like the first scene of a movie. But in this one, the robot wins at ping pong, and then writes a best-selling book, and then runs for office and wins, and then builds a military, and then destroys us all.

You've been walking around all this time with your umbilical cord? 'Bout time you got it removed!

Good to hear that the recovery is going well.

This super nifty one armed robot is better at ping pong than you

Maybe I'm crazy but I'm not all that impressed. Making a robot do better mechanical motions than us seems like it's one of the easier things to do

The actual mechanical stuff probably isn't too hard. Tracking the ball and making the correct decision on how to hit the ball and where to hit it is probably much harder, and especially at speed.

I haven't seen any advertising for them, but they have them. And they are still pretty darn good.

Last year, they pretty much stopped serving them right after St. Patty's Day, so if you want one, better hurry.

I've had a fun minor league sports week. I saw my first game from a suite Saturday - it was the ECHL's Idaho Steelheads, so it was nothing super-fancy, but it was pretty modern and the arena is located inside of Boise's best hotel. There were a couple of rows of seats hanging over the ice attached to what was basically a niceish hotel room, with a TV and sofas and food and such. Tonight I'm seeing the NBDL's Stampede from a courtside season ticket dinner table, where apparently it's pretty common for basketballs to bounce over and knock over your beer and food. If I had just a bit more money and time, I'd love to be a season ticket holder for both, I bet it's a fun scene, they have random events like "Stampede draft party night". I can't even imagine what an NBDL draft party entails, but I'd love to go. Are the fans getting all worked up over what guy they're taking in the 5th round, or is it just an excuse to get out and drink? I imagine there's this little minor league sports fan community in town that takes in all the Steelheads/Stampedes/Hawks stuff. Probably the same people over and over, since Boise is pretty much a million miles from any other city and any other sports and entertainment option.

Be careful at those Steelhead games

A handful of Idaho hockey fans have filed a potentially class action lawsuit against the owner of a Boise arena, contending that they were victims of a beer scam, paying more for a "large" beer that held the same amount of liquid as a "small."

Looks like it's time for me to head back to school! That's pretty cool that they have a student price, makes sense, just never knew about it.

With all the free Classic Doctor Who episodes I watch and other free stuff, $99 still seems like a good deal to me. 49 would be awesome, but, I can't complain too much.

The sheer amount of discounts students get it almost feels like I would pick up a class at a community college once in a while and then use that to get deals for things. Software alone can likely cover the cost of a class.

Speaking of that, I did that for a bunch of software from Autodesk. Like Maya and a couple of others I can't remember at the moment. Easily over $5K in software I got for free. A class at a community college is what, maybe $100 dollars?

$350ish for me. Still, if you go for high end software, you are winning in the end.

Yup, even at 350 that is still a pretty good bargain.

I can walk to one. It closed for a bit and came back under new management. I think that management left, or I just didn't see the guy anymore. They had new employees rather often and were on the low side for customers. The same can be said for my local Pancheros though. It's kind of surprising, but I can see it.

Mancino's which is mostly a Midwest place is mine. Only thing that really beats them is a top notch deli restaurant.

My favorite thing about Quiznos was the pickle bar. Sliced pickles, banana peppers, jalapenos, etc. I would fill up about 8 of those things and take them to go.

You should figure out a way for Subway to never ask you anything.

Except if they would ask if you'd like to be introduced to Nastia Liukin.

I've tried. The grunts and body language just gets me a visit from the police.

You know your life is predictable when...

The guys at the pizza place say "we were just talking about you and saying you were running late. It's all ready to go in the oven" when you walk in 20 minutes later than usual on a Friday night.

There is something comforting about that as well. Sounds like a well run business.

I worked some part time at a local gas station at one point and (sadly) knew what like 95% of all the people that came in there smoked. I'd just be like 1 pack or 2 and it would blow their minds sometimes. Obviously a complete waste of my brain space.
