Since completely deleting my digital music collection, I've accumulated 3,531 tracks which total 13.6 days of music taking up 36.67 GB of space. This is mostly from ripping a few hundred CDs plus plenty of iTunes purchases. I still have two more boxes of CDs to go.

This project has been going on only for a few weeks, too. As I work, I just swap CDs out and let the Mac Pro rip, rip, rip, rip. - Akiva Moskovitz

iTunes will let you make a pdf of your library? That's cool...don't think I can do that in Zune...dunno about WMP. - Jonas, Leper of FF

Well, other than a few stragglers, the Great Rip-Off is complete. It's taken a long time but that's because I'd go weeks without ripping anything. iTunes reports: 5,226 tracks which total 19.7 days of music taking up 56.90 GB of space. Somehow, I expected more although that's a pretty hefty collection of music. - Akiva Moskovitz

Anthony is honored to have just met - and exchanged courtesies with - the President of the United States. And that was, as the kids say, pretty effin’ cool.

They should apologize for throwing Oscar Wilde in the clink as well. - Joel Webber

Ok, I was being a bit silly about Wilde (there are plenty of things the Victorians could apologize for).

""There is so much solar that all you have to do is invest in the non-recurring cost of more dishes to drive a solar-hydrogen economy at whatever efficiency it happens to sit at.

We're waiting to extract all the oil it'll take to make the dishes. - Anthony Citrano

do you by any chance know how they clean those "non-recurring cost" mirrors from dust (=degrading performance)? - earlyadopter

As far as I can tell they use a lot of water to clean them, which, in the desert, is definitely sub-optimal. What makes a lot more sense is a distributed power grid made up of small photovoltaic systems on all homes and business with sufficient exposure to justify the cost. - Jason Wehmhoener

Plenty of places in the desert have huge underground aquifers. We'd be screwed here in Phoenix without ours. Also, once the plants are up and running they can condense the existing water out of the atmosphere. I don't think that water is a big obstacle. I agree that pretty much ALL buildings should generate power. I also think that huge solar plants in the Arizona desert make a lot of sense too. I'll even go so far as to call it a national defense issue - it should be a critical priority for the nation. - Internet's Tad from fftogo

Watch Patlabor. TV Series first, then the New Files. You don't have to watch the Original Series (since it's not as good) but if you do, it comes before the TV Series. The movies come last but those are a bit hit or miss. - ronin

good luck with the job hunting - Imabug

Good luck, Tina! I hope you find something wonderful soon. - Laura Lou Who

The paperwork is killer. Hoping you find something that makes this all worth it. - Jess

When I went out to L.A. in '07, I spent at least 6 hours a day job searching. I'd look for jobs to apply to in the morning, take a break for lunch and then write up cover letters and tweak my resume in the afternoon. Some days there was more work than on others but, yeah, it was definitely work. - pea

It's been a while since I've had this particular 'job', but I find it more challenging now than before: the company I worked at was bought and sold 3x while I was there, it makes for quite the paper trail for me to explain. Boo! - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Good luck Tina, it's a drag, but exciting too. ...looking forward to finding out who the lucky winner is! - Edward Zwart

best wishes on this pursuit. i'm confident you'll find something goodo. :) - Joe Silence is not dead

It's a full time job! - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift

I'm hoping so, DS. I'm in the process of revamping my resume and find myself at a crossroads: do I mention clients by name? The fact that our company worked with them is public knowledge so there wouldn't be any disclosure issues, and mentioning them by name will give some nice weight to my job duties. I'm not even sure why I'm waffling on it... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

is there any way you can ask their explicit permission? that would certainly put my mind at rest if i was in your place. dunno if that's going too far or not. - Joe Silence is not dead

If it's public knowledge than I say mention that you worked with them. I wouldn't ask for persmission. They may say no for some silly reason and then what will you do? - pea

:((((( - Jim Hearts FF

Good Luck!!!!! - sofarsoShawn

There's not really a way for me to reliably ask for permission: the main client I worked with is a Fortune 500 company and just the request would get bounced around from department to department for who knows how long. You should've seen the hoops we went through when our mailing address changed... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I think just listing the companies and providing a broad idea of what was entailed wouldn't be an issue. Probably shouldn't get too detailed though. But it really just depends on how you're structuring your resume. - pea

I hope you find something that pays well that you enjoy, Tina. I'm sorry you're in this position. - Spidra Webster

I'm up in the air on that one too, Pea. My last 2 positions were very different and I'd take a new job in either field (development or trainer). Both used some similar skills but the duties themselves were very different. Perhaps I'll try both a skills resume and a chronological resume, see which one gets the most bites. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I tweaked my resume for each job I applied for but I basically had two versions of it. Same format, and information, just laid out differently. One focused more on the program monitoring/contract work and one focused on tech support, data management. - pea

Thanks Abby =) At this point I'm just hoping I can find my last resume: it would be helpful right about now! Combing through data backups as we speak =/ - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I'm happy to take a look at it if you like, once you have it updated. - pea

:( good luck!! - Rachel Lea Fox

Remember my pool idea if all else fails..... - Joe

:( - David Cook

Hope you get to something you like first and don't get caught doing burgers or something because of timing issues... may that unemployed delay not be applied anymore. - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,

Unfortunately, I'd have to lie to get hired on to flip burgers =/ The last time I was out of work long enough to apply for store clerk jobs etc I was rejected for all of them because I was over qualified. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Good luck in your search, Tina. Any company would be fortunate to hire you. - Anne Bouey

Good luck, Tina! I've been there a few times. :-( - Kol Tregaskes

Details of Unemployment: Is there a 3-month or 6-month extension available? When I first filed unemployment, I screwed up. I didn't realize there might be extensions. Also, you have to work X months out of Y months after your unemployment ends to get more unemployment. - Mitchell Tsai

In SC it's 13 weeks with a 13 week extension, but there might be a program for an additional 26 weeks at this point (not sure on that one yet). The working X months out of Y is the amount of time you worked before you were unemployed and not after (at least, that's the way it is here). - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Yep, I was shocked to find that I was "over-qualified" to be the "fry guy" or even a bleeping "banquet server". - Mathew A. Koeneker

In SC, how do they figure out what to pay you? In CA, I think they pick the highest quarter out of the 3 months ago - 15 months ago (or something like that). - Mitchell Tsai

Good luck Tina. You're smart AND you've got 'street sense'. A great combination for any company. Don't get discouraged ..... We're all rootin' for ya! - Charlie Anzman

Good luck... :( - rowlikeagirl

Mitchell, in SC they take your highest quarter out of the past 18 months, not including the last 3 months of work, and will pay up to 50% of your earnings up to a rather low cap. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

oh - sorry about that. looking for a new job IS a full time task. shout out if we can help in any way - Sofia @ SoMaFusion

Thanks Sofia, I appreciate it. I'm going to post a text version of my resume once I get it settled to solicit some feedback and edits. Between the jetlag and stress levels, my spelling isn't all that great right now! - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Tina, If you don't already make sure you have a .pdf version of your resume. Bots are starting to crawl those. - Melanie Reed

Obviously... \o, I reach out, just get it done! Let me wake ya body and soul, have that job back! 9) - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,

Well - let us know, 1000 friendfeed eyes are better than one :-) - Sofia @ SoMaFusion

Also, about this calling you business, kind of hard to do so without a number. *ahem* If you know what I mean, and I think you do. ;-) - pea

I have gotten used to it, but most of the transition was removing or blocking users that I had followed just because and wasn't really interested in and relegating the chattier people that I found were mostly reshare noise to a list that didn't show on the home feed.

The video going around yesterday of the baby chicks being ground alive doesn't make me want to eat less meat - many, many more animals are killed in just as horrific conditions during harvest. What it does is make me wish we had food alternatives that took no animal OR plant life.
