1/28    Anybody get an unsolicited "I just found your resume"-type job
        opening email from Google lately? I just got something that
        seems plausible but can't tell if its just some spammer's
        attempt to get my email address.
        \_ don't trust it. google doesn't hire. everyone there is a volunteer.
        \_ May well be, but then again, I finally got a job when a
           recruiter mailed me up out of the blue.  Still don't know how
           she found my resume, don't care either.
           \_ everyone who ever had your resume has resold it dozens of times.
              \_ Hope no one paid much for it.  It's free on my web site.
                 In any event, I'm not complaining about a 6 fig job.
        \_ probably not an email spammer, but maybe a headhunteror or a wierdo.
        \_ There is a message envelope, right?  Doesn't that sufficiently show
           that it came from Google?  Google is hiring. -mgoodman
           \_ Maybe... maybe not:
              http://csua.org/u/893 (fucked company)
              \_ This is an incoherent rant, even by fc standards.
                 \_ fc has no standards.
           \_ Will you submit my resume for me?
        \_ You can reply to these things if you want but it won't matter.
           These are 99.999% likely to be some sort of bottom feeder recruiter
           types but replying will *not* get you a job and may in fact ruin
           your chances if they fax blast you to 5000+ potential employers.
           I no longer reply to these people as I've never gotten so much as
           an email reply back.
           \_ i don't think you have enough statistics to state that number to
              five digits.
              \_ You are mistaken.  We adhere strictly to 5 Nines quality
                 standards.
              \_ having dealt with millions of these cretins, I believe I do
                 have five9s quality data to backup that statement's
                 statistical validity.  Even if I'm only four9s correct, it
                 still won't get you a job and might ruin your chances of
                 doing so.  Just delete.  Do not reply to these things.

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

8/16    Why does my Y! mail account always full of unfiltered spam
        mails (and they're obviously spams)? Why can't they do
        a better job like Google mail? Why does Y! mail charge
        for exporting email? Google mail doesn't do that.

9/13    Tech industry is back! I've never gotten so many recruiter calls
        since the dot-com. Good times man.

        \_ lies, damned lies, statistics, willie brown speaking, and motd

5/7     had 3 interviews (over 2 days) that all went well but didn't
        get an offer. I've heard its totally normal and acceptable to
        ask for feedback and/or "what went wrong" or "why didn't I
        get an offer". Is that really true? How should I approach this?
        ask one of the tech people I spoke to? or the recruiter (who
        seems generally unknowledgeable but maybe in a better position

        Google salary sucks. It's nowhere near the $150-$200k/year
        someone claims on motd.
        \_ Google has a really nice bonus package.
        \_ I think this is a Google recruiter

1/23    Recruiter question: Say a recruiter got me into a big company and
        got paid for my head count, and I've already stayed 1 year
        (which is the pre-req for most recruiters to get the head count
        bonus). Later I leave the company for a bunch of failed startups
        for a while and eventually a second recruiter enticed me to go
        BACK to the company again, will the second recruiter get paid

           about your experience, particularly if you can compare and contrast
           to Amazon's S3/E2C services.  Also, if you're an indie app

All major surveys show that Google has steadily declined in market share. Google is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Google is to survive at all it will be among search engine dilettante dabblers. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time.

If the answer is yes (and it really should be) congratulations! Actually, the lawsuit, brought by 41 state attorneys general, was settled out of court by the defendants last September to avoid a lengthy battle. The terms: they will pay $143 million in punitive damages. Anyone who meets a three-part criteria which essentially boils down to the question up top is entitled to a chunk of the loot.

If no one is buying your product, THERE IS NO FUCKING NEED. If there was a NEED, then people would be BUYING YOUR PRODUCT. I think we learned this in Economics class in eight grade. It saddens me to think that so many Americans are fat, lazy and dumb. Losing money quarter are quarter, hoping to be profitable in the 4th quarter 2003. Just like the consolidation of all the small CMS companies, who's next Day Software or Gauss? Start looking for new employment opportunities for the remaining staff.

After many months of diligent hard work, several attempts to refocus our misson-critical functions on enabling new customer productivity and even cost-cutting measures including removing the free latte machine, I have to relay the heartbreaking news that, as of this morning, I have been fired as part of a company-wide headcount reduction. Later, we stopped by Matrix Fillmore on the way back to my apartment. Driving down the 101 in my Infiniti, the traffic was unusually light and even a bit of sunshine peeked through the clouds for me. There was a palpable tension in the office when I arrived at 8:30. People were going in and meeting with Jim, our boss, one after the other. I could feel a lump in my throat when he called me over. We sat down, and he looked at me, and I just knew that this was it. I begged, pleaded, even a solitary tear ran down my cheek, but John was insistent. He gave me a list of headhunters and offered to put me in touch with some contacts at other companies. Their support and companionship on our many business trips and meetings really made work a pleasure. At times like these, you really need people close to you?
