[SLUG] Anyone using Mozilla 0.9
Any sluggers out there using Moz 0.9 in anger? Seems that the Java script is broken, a script that works perfectly in NS4.77 and IE5.x doesn't work properly in 0.9. Using Moz 0.8 the script behaves differently again. Mostly seems to be a problem with those cute menu scripts that toggle images as you move the cursor over them. Has anyone else had the same experience? Got a fix? Also does anyone know how to change the mailer so that when you are in your sent box (imap) it displays the recipient instead of the sender (which is always me so that's a bit durrr!). Otherwise looking better and better, had trouble getting the java applet plugin working but finally cracked it. Performance is hardly outstanding to get started but once launched seems ok, slow to respond to events sometimes (mouse clicks mostly).

Well, this information is on the SLUG WWW! Also, searching the archives
is also worth reminding people.
Would it be acceptable to the list for job seekers to post a message clearly
labelled [Off Topic] - JOB WANTED. In the ad for a job *wanted* it should
have one line, what type of job and one other line, a URI pointing to the
job seeker's online CV/resume.

Re: [SLUG] Re: Linux Instructor - what about jobs wanted?
James, Being an old hand at being a professional slut and having dealt with many pimps and even once been shafted 35%, I think I'll save you some pain and give you a little advice. :) Quite simply - pimps are tools. Some of them are nice, some are not, some you may even become friends with after being pimped by them.. However, never, ever consider taking a contract at a place that's not close to home without at least 2 weeks of cash in your pocket and a return ticket home by some means. If you did the work and they didn't pay you - you can pull out a lawyer or call a friend (hell, email SLUG and you'll get a dozen replies!) who will point you to a variety of organizations that deal with nasty pimps.. In terms of finding work - as I said, if you don't have a reputation in the industry - then pimps are your best bet. But use the following ruleset when dealing with pimps: 1. Have a professional resume - nobody wants to know that you got a merit certificate in primary school and worked at McDonalds when you were 14. Put it in a format pimps understand - keywords with your skillset etc.. Make sure you leave your age out - for some jobs the pimp will think you're too young, for some, they might think you're too old. Let your client decide - not the pimp. 2. Check out Jobnet - search for suitable jobs - pick a bunch of positions from at least 5 pimps - and send your resume in regards to those particular positions or similar. Make sure you believe you can do those jobs. 3. Unless you have shitloads of time to kill and nothing better to do - make sure you don't turn up to pimp interviews - you don't need to see the pimp if you're good for the job.. you want to see the client. 4. Sell yourself! Make sure you talk with a set of balls like Schwarzenegger. Be firm. Know what you want. Show no weakness. 5. Avoid the larger agencies who have bulk deals with larger players like [EMAIL PROTECTED] they will screw you down with all their might. And other larger ones like Morgan/Banks will offend you with their we are the best attitude and shaft you more than the smaller players. 6. Make absolutely sure that you know your stuff (relative to the clients' requirements) :) 7. If the concept of a pimp offends you - don't hesitate to call the client direct - do some research on a few companies and find out what their corporate structure looks like, ask around and find the manager who would need someone like you and call/email them.. Large corporations (especially carriers) love hiring enthusiastic grads etc.. 8. Good luck. :) //umar I am a young programmer looking for work and I welcome genuine job postings.

Re: [SLUG] OFFTOPIC: Re: Linux Instructor - what about jobs wanted?
Rick, The way I think of pimps is as a service - otherwise you'll be pissed off to the point of combustion everytime you send an invoice. For example - my current position: I sourced it myself (they called me actually) - and I stated a rate and got it.. however since they're a large corporation, they won't deal with a person or an unapproved resource provider - so HR forced me through a pimp.. that's fine.. I get what I want - and the pimp charges them a premium just to resell me.. since the *pimp* didn't find me, they charge them less.. I'm not paying for it so I don't care.. but if I start thinking about it as money that I *could* be receiving - i.e. an extra $150/day - then I'd be pissed off.. but remember it's a service, I get what I want - and I think of them as a convenient party to invoice weekly (the larger corporates don't pay their bills on time - so pimps are useful for this as well). Actually, this is a good point to elaborate on.. for example, if you work for a large carrier such as Optus - and you went direct to them.. and invoiced them weekly.. if you started work on the 1st of Jan, your first receipt of payment would be around March'ish.. their official payment cycles are 60 days if I remember correctly.. if it didn't get paid in that cycle.. then you have to chase them up.. this is all too hard.. let the pimp do it for you. So, from the pimp's perspective - they have to pay you for roughly two months' worth without receiving a cent from their client.. that's a shitload of money to cover while awaiting payment! So then they factor in timing differences and interest and other bits and pieces, and they come up with their Official Shafting Margin(tm) - which is generally less than what you see as the Oh Shit Look at What I'm Being Shafted Figure(tm).. Anyway... On the other hand - if the pimp finds you a job, then the $x/hour you bleed is your payment for them to find the job. And remember - if you don't have a strong social circle in terms of work and can't ask a friend hey, know anyone who's hiring Widget Specialists? - then pimps are your best option - they spend all day, every day schmoozing and bribing clients with squishy toys and umbrellas.. and they find out where the esoteric requirements are. Finding contracts by word of mouth is the best though. Always. But there's always the pimp as backup. //umar. I hear ya, mate. Avoid them at all costs.

Hear hear. Is this policy set in stone in the SLUG FAQ? And if not, why not? Do we have a FAQ? :) Q. Can I post job advertisments to the SLUG list? A. No. This is a Linux Users list. Well, yes, but only in special circumstances. a) You must have earn sufficient respect from the rest of the SLUG community, usually acheived by posting useful answers to questions posed. b) Your job posting *MUST* conform to the following rules: i) Contains the string [JOB] at the start of the subject line. ii) Makes use of the X-Advertisement mail header iii) The entire content of the body follows this pattern: Need job title, see url. iv) Your signature is delimited by the regex /^-- $/ and contains no more than 4 lines of text after the delimiter. Q. Isn't that a bit harsh? A. Nope. If you are hiring, why post here? This is a Linux *users* list, not a recruitment list. There exist other fora for this. You are also more likely to find the person you're looking for by advertising in the right place. Most of the SLUGgers have jobs, if they wanted a new one they'd know where to look. If you think that you want someone explicitly from SLUG, and you're respected enough that you won't be flamed to death, then a simple reference to a URL containing a decent description of the job will be accepted by most people. Bandwidth isn't free, so respect us all (and especially the SLUG machine, who has to mail it out to the hundreds of subscribers) by making your mail as short as possible; interested people will view your URL. Finally, the [JOB] marker is just courtesy, it lets people know what the mail is about, and can be filtered out (or even used to find your post again). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg Better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

Re: [SLUG] ADSL with two pair cable [slightly OT]
When i had mine installed i asked the telstra tech about it Apparently in a given bundle, only about 2-3/10 lines can have adsl otherwise you get interferance. So if your considering it stop considering and start ordering as in a street only a handful of houses can have adsl (or in my street of about 15, only maybe 4 can have it) They supply you with up to 3 inline filters for your handsets and if you have 4 or more handsets they install one master filter thingy (apparently). I dont think you should have more than 4 connecting devices anyway, i recall hearing that it splits the signal too much. Linux runs bigpond adsl as perfectly as i can imagine. My tip is *not* to get 256kbps (if your getting a home plan), get the 512k.
