Success (!?)

I think I finally have wrestled Blogger into submission. That was, quite literally, my experience. I had to fight with this thing, and we were inflicting damage on each other. Well certainly some damage was inflicted on me. My heart rate is till elevated from the seemingly useless effort I had to exert to get this blog established at the address that I wanted it, with no duplication. Part of it was my own fault (typo in the original URL) but the way in which the Blogger dashboard presents information -- it's hard to tell what's what. Oh well, that's what learning is all about. Remaking neuronal pathways -- it's rarely pleasant.

I was playing this morning with LinkedIn . I had a very visceral experience of the power of social networks -- 14,000 contacts. And I have invested zero in proactively generating this. Now I'm turning it into an experiment -- see where it goes.

It looks like I'm moving closer to getting a job offer. If this pulls through this way, it's nothing short of miraculous. That would be success! Of course this morning I was having so much fun with job hunting that I didn't want to to end. I also found SimplyHired, which is also very cool -- really what I've been looking for. The job search process certainly isn't what it used to be.
