BitTorrent
I have neglected both my site for Secrets of Changing to a Computer Career and this blog which updates it for quite awhile. Hey, I had many other things to do.

But I am hopeful that because I've made some adjustments in the site, that'll it'll be worth more effort in the future.

To that end, I wrote and published a brand new article, on Drupal, earlier this week, and today one on BitTorrent:

BitTorrent for Not Yet Techies

We'll see how things go.

By the way, my niece graduated from college this year and already had herself a good job. Of course, it's true that she went to a prestigious school and was at the top of her class. And I'm sure it also helped that last summer she did an internship at the same company that hired her.

Plus, she'd spent years as a Teaching Assistant for beginning Computer Science degree undergrads.

But she followed my advice to network (surely her teaching assistant work helped her to brown nose . . . er, helped her university professors regard her favorably.

And she sought and got that internship and evidently worked hard at it, so they wanted her back.

She may be an aberration, but we're not hearing media sob stories about Computer Science graduates being unable to find jobs, so evidently the economy is now taking them in, which is good news.
