The average internship is about 2.5 months. What we do in that 10-week period decides not only if we will return next summer, but if we will even get a full-time job at the company. There’s a chance to get a lot of great information – there’s also a chance to get in a lot of trouble.
While I try not to be trouble – instead, I’m just internlady. I work for a large corporation (hint: I have to have a security clearance to do my job). What I blog about, or plan to blog about, has nothing to do with my employer, nor should readers believe that what I blog about is the official position for my employer.
I like linkblogs. I like to gather information, tell a story about it. I’m not new to blogging, but (obviously) I won’t link to other places I write about. (Though, some may one day figure things out.) There isn’t anything here about My Employer, nor any of my coworkers – that’s just not cool, and I only like pink shirts, not slips.
So. Usually, I would post this little intro and click ‘publish’ and walk off, but I feel the need to give some links out right out the gate:
- Not Yet
- Newbie intro to cron
- How to redirect a web page, the smart way
- 10 Things You Shouldn’t Buy New Self-explanatory title, and while I practice buying some of these items used, I realized that I could be doing so much better in this regard.
That’s all for now. Time to get back to my internly duties…
This is a really interesting article that touches on the not-ready-for-linux meme floating around. The article has its problems, but the link is made worthy by the commenters. Plus, community debate around Linux is always worth at least 2.1 laughs.
Man, I wish I had found this sooner. I avoided cron like the plague when I was on Linux because I was utterly confused. Linux newbies: do not be afraid of cron. Repeating tasks by hand blows.
The Web moves around. We change servers, links, and often forget that people can’t pick up these changes if we don’t let them know. This article from Steve Hargrove gives 8 different ways to redirect your web pages.
