[05:22] azend|vps: I've already checked LinkedIn this month. [05:36] BobJonkman: :P [05:36] I've been checking LinkedIn every few days in the last two weeks [05:36] LinkedIn is starting to become an interesting network [05:36] Expecting somethiing? [05:36] no [05:37] I'm starting to get around to connecting with all of the people I know though [05:37] I figure I should get in touch before people forget me and this is pretty low impact [05:38] There's some value in that. I'm seeing many different jobhunt sites (and even IRL recruiters) using and recommending LinkedIn [05:38] Why not use Classmates.com? [05:38] You should see how much linkedin and other recruiting sites charge to post a job listing [05:38] or one of the other many social networks? [05:38] they're all upwards of $600 [05:38] each [05:39] I hope the places that fork out $600 are getting value for their money [05:40] I expect that each job posting gets hundreds of responses (if not thousands (or even more zeroes)) [05:40] And I wonder how many are repostings of others on Monster, Workopolis or Taleo [05:40] (or vice versa) [05:41] BobJonkman: http://www.workopolis.com/solutions/en/product/job-posting [05:41] I've been reading that there are 1000 unfilled tech jobs in Waterloo. [05:41] But if they're counting job postings on the online sites maybe there's only five jobs, repeated 200 times [05:42] I know what The Co-operators pays for listings to be put up on LinkedIn and Workopolis [05:42] I think they also put them up on another paid site too but I can't remember their name [05:43] * BobJonkman looks at that link. Yowza! [05:43] + the careers website and twitter of course [05:43] + $50 extra for your job posting to be bolded [05:43] I'm seeing many company's own branded career page actually redirecting to Taleo [05:43] costs $50 [05:43] :P [05:44] I've never heard of Taleo [05:44] $25 per HTML element. I should charge for Web pages at that rate! [05:44] Ooh oracle [05:44] tough luck [05:44] $10 per line [05:45] Dear Client: Our analysis has revealed that your site is missing approximately 100 tags. [05:45] + $5 extra if it is a block element [05:45] Taleo is used by Manulife, RIM (or, I guess, Blackberry) [05:45] Others too, can't think of them off the top of my head [05:46] Hmm [05:49] BTW, I'm hoping to see an @azend on the OStatus networks soon! [05:50] haha [05:50] I used to [05:52] What benefit is there these days to running your own SN instance? [05:52] Either you talk to yourself a lot or you connect it with twitter [05:52] The privacy and security of !selfhosting [05:52] And if you connect it to twitter, you may as well just use twitter [05:53] There's actually quite an active community: http://www.skilledtests.com/wiki/List_of_Independent_Statusnet_Instances [05:54] And about six largish open sites inc. https://loadaverage.org/ and https://quitter.se/ [05:54] There are concentrations of communities all interconnected; the one I'm in is big in Free Software (small surprise). [05:55] Meant to ask you, azend|vps, are you planning a Release Party for 13.10 ? [05:56] Yeah.. I've just been swamped again [05:56] Perhaps a friday night at diyode again? [05:57] Sounds great! [05:58] 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] We could set up some social networks on there [05:58] What is "this kind of thing"? [05:58] I have some high power wifi radios that I could use but my mesh network is still a ways out [05:59] this kind of thing being social networks [05:59] or any major proprietary cloud service [06:00] And just on a private wifi mesh? [06:01] I thought this might have been it: https://openwireless.org/ [06:01] But it's not. [06:01] with status net and sparkle share, what else do you need :) [06:01] BobJonkman: just on a private internal network [06:01] You should have a chat with Michael Kaulbach (genii), who's involved with the Toronto Freenet. [06:02] There was a WiFi mesh component in that, with some sort of central node at the old Linuxcaffee [06:02] Is he in any way involved with nich0las doing the same thing at HackLab.TO? [06:02] Very likely [06:03] * BobJonkman has to look up sparkle share [06:03] Ah! I have something similar with ownCloud [06:04] I know [06:04] how well does it work? [06:04] I've heard anywhere from "Own cloud is the best thing since sliced bread" to "OwnCloud is a sack of crap"? [06:05] ownCloud does a reasonably good job of synching folders [06:05] Slightly less so sharing media [06:06] (you can share media by sharing folders, but the native media player will only share to accounts on ownCloud; no public shares) [06:06] And the calendar works well enough as a CalDAV repository, but the native calendar client sucks [06:08] 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] Both on the ownCloud Web folder and native Media client, as well as on my computer that's synching the folder [06:08] Yeah, that's pretty cool [06:08] I wish upload speeds in canada weren't quite as bad though [06:09] that would make ownCloud shine [06:09] 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] That's not a bad thing, tho. [06:10] Yup! (Canada upload speeds) [06:10] That's a good argument to run a community WiFi mesh. [06:10] Everything runs at WiFi speeds (although multi-hop lag becomes a bottleneck) [06:11] True although that assumes you use wifi as the interconnect [06:13] Tough to run a wired mesh community network... [06:20] Tougher to get that network connected up with Elora :) [06:20] It's probably easier to do a vpn interconnect via regular internet [06:21] Use openvpn or ipsec ror something === Guest6383 is now known as vednis === vednis is now known as marsf [20:20] * genii sips === marsf is now known as mars === Guest34795 is now known as marsf
