As seen on Slashdot in this comment:
If you’re in the position to hire personnel and are looking to staff a position… take your stack of applications and divide them in half at random. Take one stack and throw it into the trash.Avoid hiring unlucky people.
If you like reading blogs, check the “Best of Blog (BoB) Awards 2004”. This page links to plenty of excellent blogs. All blogs there are separated into categories according to nominations. Yummy.
I found the January 2005 issue of Linux Journal on my table today. A quick flip through the pages got me interested on the article about BlogLines. Reuven M. Lerner wrote about BlogLines service in general and its API in particular. There is a small example script in Perl with WebService::Bloglines too.
While I was suspecting that there should be something like API with Perl module available, I didn’t ever finished the thought. Now that I know these are available, I should think a bit more on how to utilize them. The two primary usages – notification and blogrolling – would be interesting but they aren’t to me. I have way to many blogs for notification. There are always new items to read. Blogrolling is also provided by BlogLines and I am pretty satisfied with what they offer – no need for customization.
Still I should check it out some time…
Watched “Black Knight” on DVD. It is an excellent comedy with Martin Lawrence. If like him, watch it, if not – then you better not, because it is rather cliche.
This film has got me thinking about something. It seems that mixing Middle Age with Modern Times is always funny. I am trying hard and I cannot remember one film which was bad with it. “Army of Darkness“, “Robin Hood: Men in Tights“, “Just Visiting” and now “Black Knight” are all successful movies. Was there any bad one? Can anyone remind me?
7 out of 10. The boxing in the woods and training of the rebels are my two favourite scenes.
