Eventually I'll look to replace the 4+ year old ibook I currently use, and it's interesting to note that there really are some advantages to using a glossy screen.

I'll have to keep this advice in mind if things fall through at the Telco and I lean toward doing PC repair.

Bottomline: DON'T DO IT!

One vey interesting comment:

A colleague at a previous job said to me once, "The three aspects of a job you can be happy with are 1. money, 2. people, 3. work. If you're satisfied with at least two of these aspects, stick with it."

My favorite tip:

"If you really are starting from ground zero, I'd suggest setting up a repository such as SVN as a good first step. Couple this with a good template to set up standard locations for documentation directories alongside the code trunk and branches (and any other resources your projects requires (images, sound other media). Make sure everyone uses the repo - even if you have to spend a day leading people through it - you'll save time later. This also ensures your projects are backed up (so long as everyone checks in at the end of the day at least), and screwups - such as deleting the wrong directories and forgetting about it for weeks can be reversed."

I'll keep this on hand if I ever happen to interview for Network Systems Specialist. :)

Not that I'm unhappy at my current job... but you just never know what the future holds.

Do you allow your kids to have freedom on the 'net? Do you put your foot down and become "Big Brother"? Or do you find a middle-of-the-road solution?

I never really had a problem like this during my years at the U of M, but this information may come in handy if it creeps into my life as a network sysadmin.
