I hate, no, scratch that ... I HATE looking for a job. I was forced out of my job at company A. Oddly enough, immediately after telling me this, they offered me 3 months of contract labor ... what? in lieu of a severance package? Due to a lengthy recent illness, my savings are totally depleted, so I felt like I had to swallow my pride and take this temporary employment. Can we say awkward???
I got a couple of genuine lead and 2 definite nibbles today. Hopefully, I'll know something before the holidays.
Anyway, here are some things I've been reading lately.
I know it's true that tanstaafl (there ain't no such thing as a free lunch), but I somehow missed all of the back and forth over google's and gmail's invasion of privacy.
Read this gmail privacy faq for the lowdown.
Someone else says that it's all a tempest in a teapot.
There's a sucker born every minute. I tended to believe that google was not evil. Now, I'm not so sure. I tend to get annoyed to find out that someone is setting 38 year cookies on my computer. Sure, I won't be using this computer for 38 years, but since I use their gmail, they could conceivably tie all new computers that I will use into the older cookie profile information.
It's not even that I do anything bad or illegal on the net. I just don't want them knowing what I do. It's just kind of creepy.
I think that I will stop using google asap and start using clusty.
