Rough mock up of first cabin. 10x16 inside, 6x16 front porch, lofted sleeping area. Materials show up Monday. Can't wait to get started building.

Hehe... it will have a sink inside, elevated water tank out back and a grey water filter system. Still deciding how to approach a composting toilet out there. Other planned amenities: wood stove, solar panel with batteries enough to run a couple lights and a laptop, possibly a free standing studio space nearby at some point.

I would live in that year-round. Easily. Heck, I'd spend most of my time hiking around the area anyway. And the rest of the time kicking it on that porch, reading or writing. :D <3

Scott, there's a suspicious looking individual standing near your artist cabin. Looks shady; nondescript features. Might want to check him out. Be careful, though -- the way his hands are in his pocket, he might be armed.

If you slurp your soup in public I can have my 3-year old show you how it's done properly. #manners

If I sit somewhere for any length of time during lunch it quickly becomes annoying. I used to work with someone who always made a smacking sound twice with each bite. It tests your patience.

It took me a long time to get used to the slurping and smacking when eating with my Japanese friends. I think it is a positive custom in Kobe to smack and slurp ;)

Makes me think of movies where the rich dowager takes calls while reclining in her bath. And didn't Marilyn Monroe's character in 7 Year Itch call the plumber from the tub when her toe got stuck? Yeah, these scenarios aren't incredibly realistic, but most fancy hotels aren't, either.

Her story here of her brother Greg's battle against Leukemia is tragic and very moving.

Her fundraising goal is $2,500, and she's currently at $700. We need to get her at least halfway there by the recommit period, which is coming up soon -- c'mon, FF, can we raise $550 more by the end of the week?

The most annoying phone interview that I've had, took place just over two years ago. Interview was with a technical recruiter for some contracting position. The guy asked me specific technical questions about things that I told him I had done like 6 or 7 years ago.

Like "what's the tool that you use to promote a Windows server to become an AD server"? You want me to walk through my process of designing an entire network? Fine. I can do that. You want to know at a higher level what I did? I can talk to that. You want to know about some tweaky detail that any kid can Google in 30 seconds, but I don't need to know at the time because I did that process 7 years ago? Sorry, but we're just not going to be a good fit.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Hire technical people because of how they think and what they think, not because of what they may or may not know at any given time. Whatever your problem is, a good person will figure out. It's not rocket science (and even there, a good person will figure it out).

I think if you neatly encapsulated my boss' management and hiring style in the last sentence (and why I love working with the people I work with right now.) You can always train someone who is good at learning and thinking.

Yep, and really valuable people figure out problems on their own.

BTW kudos to your boss for being that type of manager that makes people want to work for them.

Yvonne, he definitely knew and that made it even worse when he condescendingly said "Do you remember the command? Was it something promo?" My reply was something like "as I said, I did all of this 6 or 7 years ago and I've been doing IT security since." He continued the condescension, "Was it dcpromo?" LMGTFY?

Letters after one's name (and one needs a ton of those these days just to compete) can get one in the door. Being able to think and solve is the thing.

My friend's boss always said give the most important jobs to the laziest person in her IT department. That is because the laziest person would set it up the most thoroughly, with the most automated features, and minimize the ongoing maintenance that needed to be done. I always loved that.

This is why my Yahoo address book only contains my alternate email address and 1 or 2 others. Then, at least, I get a junky email tipping me off to the fact that it's been hacked, and usually no one else gets that crap from me.
