My LinkedIn is here. http://www.linkedin.com/in/lindagoldstein
I'm basically counting on GHC10 http://www.gracehopper.org/2010 to get me a job at this point, although if anyone would like to save me the trouble and offer me something nice, that would rock. And it would mean that I could settle in and enjoy the GHC tech track sessions without worrying about going to "birds of a feather" sessions.
I understand that networking is important, but I can't bring myself to respect the principle. Networking is about meeting people, learning about them and who they are and what they control, and connecting them with each other (hopefully though you) or connecting with them yourself (somewhat awkward, eh?) in order to (mutually, if you're doing it right) benefit.
Anyway, right... I plan to blog about the sessions that I go to at GHC here, and link to them via twitter with the #ghc10 hashtag (I am such a social networking schmuck) and hopefully introduce people who like hiring people to the concept that I am somewhat intelligent, love to learn, love to do stuff...
I definitely plan to be running Ubuntu during GHC10, and therefore I should reinstall it (I uninstalled it last night because, (see previous post) it was a botched install, albeit one that helped rancorbeast evolve a pretty excellent solution to a prevoiusly unsolved bug.)
I would like to point out that my jobsearch is having some minor success at the moment, although I would much prefer major success. -shrug- I'm good for rent and groceries for this month without dipping into savings.
...Oh, and I also bought about ten books used on Amazon. Some scifi, some programming. Fun times.
