| BobJonkman | azend|vps: I've already checked LinkedIn this month. | 05:22 |
|---|---|---|
| azend|vps | BobJonkman: :P | 05:36 |
| azend|vps | I've been checking LinkedIn every few days in the last two weeks | 05:36 |
| azend|vps | LinkedIn is starting to become an interesting network | 05:36 |
| BobJonkman | Expecting somethiing? | 05:36 |
| azend|vps | no | 05:36 |
| azend|vps | I'm starting to get around to connecting with all of the people I know though | 05:37 |
| azend|vps | I figure I should get in touch before people forget me and this is pretty low impact | 05:37 |
| BobJonkman | There's some value in that. I'm seeing many different jobhunt sites (and even IRL recruiters) using and recommending LinkedIn | 05:38 |
| BobJonkman | Why not use Classmates.com? | 05:38 |
| azend|vps | You should see how much linkedin and other recruiting sites charge to post a job listing | 05:38 |
| BobJonkman | or one of the other many social networks? | 05:38 |
| azend|vps | they're all upwards of $600 | 05:38 |
| azend|vps | each | 05:38 |
| BobJonkman | I hope the places that fork out $600 are getting value for their money | 05:39 |
| BobJonkman | I expect that each job posting gets hundreds of responses (if not thousands (or even more zeroes)) | 05:40 |
| BobJonkman | And I wonder how many are repostings of others on Monster, Workopolis or Taleo | 05:40 |
| BobJonkman | (or vice versa) | 05:40 |
| azend|vps | BobJonkman: http://www.workopolis.com/solutions/en/product/job-posting | 05:41 |
| BobJonkman | I've been reading that there are 1000 unfilled tech jobs in Waterloo. | 05:41 |
| BobJonkman | But if they're counting job postings on the online sites maybe there's only five jobs, repeated 200 times | 05:41 |
| azend|vps | I know what The Co-operators pays for listings to be put up on LinkedIn and Workopolis | 05:42 |
| azend|vps | I think they also put them up on another paid site too but I can't remember their name | 05:42 |
| * BobJonkman looks at that link. Yowza! | 05:43 | |
| azend|vps | + the careers website and twitter of course | 05:43 |
| azend|vps | + $50 extra for your job posting to be bolded | 05:43 |
| BobJonkman | I'm seeing many company's own branded career page actually redirecting to Taleo | 05:43 |
| azend|vps | <b></b> costs $50 | 05:43 |
| azend|vps | :P | 05:43 |
| azend|vps | I've never heard of Taleo | 05:44 |
| BobJonkman | $25 per HTML element. I should charge for Web pages at that rate! | 05:44 |
| azend|vps | Ooh oracle | 05:44 |
| azend|vps | tough luck | 05:44 |
| azend|vps | $10 per line | 05:44 |
| BobJonkman | Dear Client: Our analysis has revealed that your site is missing approximately 100 <blink> tags. | 05:45 |
| azend|vps | + $5 extra if it is a block element | 05:45 |
| BobJonkman | Taleo is used by Manulife, RIM (or, I guess, Blackberry) | 05:45 |
| BobJonkman | Others too, can't think of them off the top of my head | 05:45 |
| azend|vps | Hmm | 05:46 |
| BobJonkman | BTW, I'm hoping to see an @azend on the OStatus networks soon! | 05:49 |
| azend|vps | haha | 05:50 |
| azend|vps | I used to | 05:50 |
| azend|vps | What benefit is there these days to running your own SN instance? | 05:52 |
| azend|vps | Either you talk to yourself a lot or you connect it with twitter | 05:52 |
| BobJonkman | The privacy and security of !selfhosting | 05:52 |
| azend|vps | And if you connect it to twitter, you may as well just use twitter | 05:52 |
| BobJonkman | There's actually quite an active community: http://www.skilledtests.com/wiki/List_of_Independent_Statusnet_Instances | 05:53 |
| BobJonkman | And about six largish open sites inc. https://loadaverage.org/ and https://quitter.se/ | 05:54 |
| BobJonkman | There are concentrations of communities all interconnected; the one I'm in is big in Free Software (small surprise). | 05:54 |
| BobJonkman | Meant to ask you, azend|vps, are you planning a Release Party for 13.10 ? | 05:55 |
| azend|vps | Yeah.. I've just been swamped again | 05:56 |
| azend|vps | Perhaps a friday night at diyode again? | 05:56 |
| BobJonkman | Sounds great! | 05:57 |
| azend|vps | BobJonkman: what I want is to set up a localized mesh network and avoid the internet all together for this kind of thing | 05:58 |
| azend|vps | We could set up some social networks on there | 05:58 |
| BobJonkman | What is "this kind of thing"? | 05:58 |
| azend|vps | I have some high power wifi radios that I could use but my mesh network is still a ways out | 05:58 |
| azend|vps | this kind of thing being social networks | 05:59 |
| azend|vps | or any major proprietary cloud service | 05:59 |
| BobJonkman | And just on a private wifi mesh? | 06:00 |
| BobJonkman | I thought this might have been it: https://openwireless.org/ | 06:01 |
| BobJonkman | But it's not. | 06:01 |
| azend|vps | with status net and sparkle share, what else do you need :) | 06:01 |
| azend|vps | BobJonkman: just on a private internal network | 06:01 |
| BobJonkman | You should have a chat with Michael Kaulbach (genii), who's involved with the Toronto Freenet. | 06:01 |
| BobJonkman | There was a WiFi mesh component in that, with some sort of central node at the old Linuxcaffee | 06:02 |
| azend|vps | Is he in any way involved with nich0las doing the same thing at HackLab.TO? | 06:02 |
| BobJonkman | Very likely | 06:02 |
| * BobJonkman has to look up sparkle share | 06:03 | |
| BobJonkman | Ah! I have something similar with ownCloud | 06:03 |
| azend|vps | I know | 06:04 |
| azend|vps | how well does it work? | 06:04 |
| azend|vps | I've heard anywhere from "Own cloud is the best thing since sliced bread" to "OwnCloud is a sack of crap"? | 06:04 |
| BobJonkman | ownCloud does a reasonably good job of synching folders | 06:05 |
| BobJonkman | Slightly less so sharing media | 06:05 |
| BobJonkman | (you can share media by sharing folders, but the native media player will only share to accounts on ownCloud; no public shares) | 06:06 |
| BobJonkman | And the calendar works well enough as a CalDAV repository, but the native calendar client sucks | 06:06 |
| BobJonkman | The best part (so far) is the "Instant upload" feature - integrated sharing of my Android's camera folder. I take a picture, and it appears almost immediately | 06:08 |
| BobJonkman | Both on the ownCloud Web folder and native Media client, as well as on my computer that's synching the folder | 06:08 |
| azend|vps | Yeah, that's pretty cool | 06:08 |
| azend|vps | I wish upload speeds in canada weren't quite as bad though | 06:08 |
| azend|vps | that would make ownCloud shine | 06:09 |
| BobJonkman | There's some degree of media sharing between the Android and ownCloud as well, but you can tell it's really just folder synch underneath. | 06:09 |
| BobJonkman | That's not a bad thing, tho. | 06:09 |
| BobJonkman | Yup! (Canada upload speeds) | 06:10 |
| BobJonkman | That's a good argument to run a community WiFi mesh. | 06:10 |
| BobJonkman | Everything runs at WiFi speeds (although multi-hop lag becomes a bottleneck) | 06:10 |
| azend|vps | True although that assumes you use wifi as the interconnect | 06:11 |
| BobJonkman | Tough to run a wired mesh community network... | 06:13 |
| azend|vps | Tougher to get that network connected up with Elora :) | 06:20 |
| azend|vps | It's probably easier to do a vpn interconnect via regular internet | 06:20 |
| azend|vps | Use openvpn or ipsec ror something | 06:21 |
