A Note to Recruiters, Headhunters, etc
Having received my third of fourth e-mail this week from a recruiter - I was a bit confused and perturbed with the latest one I received. So I decided to put out a few "hints" to recruiters/headhunters/etc:
The Bail Out Plans
Everyone who knows me, knows that it is rare that I pay attention to "viral e-mails" about different political arenas.
O Google - How thou hast failed me...
Some of you may be familiar with Google's "iGoogle" start page that they have offered to users for the last few years...
Truer words were never spoken/written...
This article has traversed the internet - its creation attributed to the likes of Bill Gates, Kurt Vonnegut, and others.
Tech Support Hell
Let's go WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back to when I first started doing helpdesk support for a local ISP (for where I was living at the time).
I finally convinced the owner of the company that we REALLY should upgrade our existing users to Netscape version 3 (we had been distributing version 1 to that point - that should tell you how long ago it was).
Tech Support Woes
As most of you know, I work as a Senior Network Administrator & Exchange Server Admin (among many other hats).

Been Too Long...
Well it's been over two weeks since I have had a chance to update this blog, so I decided to take my spare ten minutes and let everyone know I am still alive and well. Be prepared, though, as I have several updates I am preparing...
WELCOME!
Welcome to Not Rocket Science!
It is my theory that there are just some things in life that are NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. Things like:
"Time is measured in a number of ways... However, it's NOT Rocket Science to figure out that storing
a date as 'The number of 100 nanosecond increments that have occured since 1-Jan-1601 to the date in question' should not be one of them!"
Nor should it be Rocket Science to disburse gasoline rounded up to the penny... I want to see what happens when someone pumps exactly 1 gallon of gasoline and tries to get that 1/10 of a penny change!
Things like these are simple little things that should NOT be made into the ROCKET SCIENCE that some folks make them into.
