LinkedIn often automatically pops up a dialogue with your contacts, and encourages you to quickly endorse your contacts. You can also endorse all the contacts it shows at once, so those people probably did endorse you, but not out of their own good will, but rather because it's easy, and the in-thing on LinkedIn these days.
|

You've destroyed the illusion, thanks.

Quote: but not out of their own good will,
Exactly, so there is no credibility in these endorsements. They have shot themselves in the foot by trying to improve quantity (activity) rather than quality (credibility).
Edit: grammar mistake
|
|
|
|
|
I agree. I actually removed almost all endorsements since they were made by friends, not colleagues.

I found a job via LinkedIn. I already left the position though. It was a good job, it just did not fit me.
I would not close the account. You never know when something could come up or if you would be desperate. While some say it is worthless, there are numerous recruiters and opportunities that come up via the network. Dismissing them just because you are getting some spam does not seem logical unless you are towards the end of your career and have no intention on switching before you retire.
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

You get more attention on sites like that when you open an account, so the way to use them is to only open an account when you need attention, and close it when you've had enough attention.

3 code bases.
One large existing one, one medium new one and one new small one, but it turned out bigger in the end.
The primary key was luhn checked and all of the 3 code bases had been written and were ready.
I noticed that the Co-Vendor had used an alpha header which wasn't specified and requested clarification as this isn't subject to luhn standards like numerical data. Needed to know how they wanted to process this so that we used the same methodology.
Then they said that there wasn't any alpha's at all and I was asked to pad the special number with zeros.
No probs ...but I immediately started to think about change control.
And how I have achieved this in the past.
I thought about it on my drive home.
Went back to each codebase and re-coded.
The result was zero new lines in all three code bases.
Due to.....
.padleft(8,"0")
You have to love it, when what you think will involve a days work, is over in a couple of minutes.
I think that it involved about 12 or 15 extensions to existing lines of code.
It is these occasions that I appreciate, however, it is the problem solving that I really like.
There is a conundrum here....
If it is problem solving that I really like then, what the elephant, am I doing, writing it correct in the first place.
No no no, I love a puzzle, but it is the resolution of this, that makes it all worthwhile.
…..and how good is it ….
Especially at the end of the project…
when all expectations are met on all sides……

so many line breaks that I thought you were reciting a poem 
well, it's good that you could solve this without much effort, but keep in mind that's never so easy. 
I'm brazilian and english (well, human languages in general) aren't my best skill, so, sorry by my english. (if you want we can speak in C# or VB.Net =p)

Sentenryu
At this time of night every thing I do is poetry, at least to me.
Except for my posts here, which are atrocities, and always will be.
Try to put it to music and sing it. It always makes more sense then....
...and the line breaks beat in Iambic pentameter.
Free verse, is never really free, and it will certainly cost someone in the end.
"but keep in mind that's never so easy." Yes you are right. More often than not there is heaps of work and time involved.
...and that is why I shared my experience with you. In a poetic sense.
Cheers... Sentenryu ...and thanks for da post

I don't drink coffee, can't abide the stuff in fact, but being the one who pops the little paper cap on a jar of coffee is one of life's little pleasures.
Also, being the first to use the loo at work after the cleaner has been in attendance.
Getting a good night's sleep without the Great Snoring Beast From Kent keeping me awake all night is cool too.
Waking up late and panicking before remembering that it is a Saturday, or putting on a jacket that hasn't been worn for a while and finding £10 in a pocket.
These are all examples of LLP's.
What else do you find gives you a momentary easing of the stresses and strains of your day?

There's your problem right there. You should try drinking REAL coffee - Then you might like it... If not, ANY coffee experience can be greatly enhanced by adding the right amount of alcohol. Personally I prefer Sambuca...

Without even drinking it. coffee gives me a lot of pleasure. As the aroma fills the air from grinding the beans, the gurgle of the water as it comes out black as tar from the machine, the froth building in the milk jug. All these are joys to behold.
Just now, I was making a coffee and I found there was an overlooked 1/2 pint of milk in the fridge that has soured. Immediately I just thought 'scones' and smiled.

You are a man after my own heart...
(I may have also thought ..Cheese)
I also love grinding the beans.
Sometimes I just do it and and don't make any coffe at all.
It is like some special incense... a frankincense or myrrh ... or a really aged scotch whisky that no one can afford.
Is your surname Nagy?

He has done well and proven his worth with this one.
The bean is a cutie that I haven't heard of before... but it makes sense.
Ever heard of the expression "Floating the Pork"?
