That's a little confused. From what I remember, it's the server that matters, not the domain when being blocked. If you self-host this is a problem, but not if you use your own domain on a commercial service.

The "MX records and such" are all a function of domain management. You'll have to do this whether or not you self-host.

Except I'm not actually talking about spelling, per se, but about attention to detail. Spelling errors in a resume is just sloppy rubbish.

As an IT/Development manager, I only had one role that I hired for where the skills for getting the job matched the skills for doing the job: Business Analyst. Not job entailed presenting information clearly, both written and verbally. So I expected the resume and cover letter to be organized and clear.

Programmers, on the other hand, I wouldn't expect the same level of polish. But I would expect a complete absence of spelling errors and typos. Because in programming these things count -- a lot.

A lot of the people that applied, and that I hired, did not have English as a first language. So I gave a lot of latitude with regard to word selection and grammar. But not spelling. Use a goofy word or two, but spell them right.

I figured that most people were highly motivated when writing a resume -- about an motivated on you can get. And if not level of motivation cannot get you to take care, then you'll just be a bug creation machine if I let you touch my codebase.

Proper pickled onions and Branston pickle.

Bob's Red Mill makes an adequate substitute. It's not as uniform as McCann, but it is good.

I don't know anything about journaling, but the Platinum pen in the picture is an amazing, yet inexpensive fountain pen.

It seems more rikely, if hit by an IBM truck in 1985 that he would be ebcdic'd to Seattle.

Nope. Collusion is not allowed.

The PACs aren't the issue, it's that they are allowed unlimited spending. In Canada, where I live, third party spending is capped at $350K per registered partisan group.

FWIW: It never even occured to me that they might have meant removing speed limits. I had to go back and re-read it a few times to see what the beef was.

Context is important here. Sure, "drop" could mean two things, but anything other than "lowering" in this case wouldn't make sense. IMHO, at least.

 

For some reason, the wife decided to pull out all of the amigurumi critters that she's made since she started doing this at the beginning of the year.

So, here you go, the group shot:

 

She said that the pattern was awful and that she had fudge all kinds of stuff to make it work. The hat needed to be completely redesigned.

 

I'm beginning to think that this sub will never be ready. What's the hold-up????

 

The wife has started to make these amigurumi creatures. Here's her latest two.

She uses worsted weight wool (she tells me) which generally results in bigger creatures.

 

I wanted one of these back in 1980 when I was 16. I remember that they were $1,200, but they might as well have been $1,200,000 as far as I was concerned.

Many years later I had the $$$ to buy one, and this one is a beauty. Koa, with Bill Lawrence pickups.

Look at all the knobs and switches!!!

 

This is the beside the time since the post was created. I cannot figure it out.
