And it respects the usual robots.txt flags. And whatever you do, if your real name is attached to your blog, don't blog publicly about job interviews, especially for software jobs; your interviewer probably knows how to use Google. :) (And after hearing about this, one of the interviewer's employees' wives might go try to track it down without knowing your name, and succeed, and relate this tale about your idiocy for months to come. But maybe she'll be nice enough not to include your name when she does so.) Julia ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

So many dead links just get removed. It's heart-breaking. ~maru on the cool side here ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
