  • Job Search Information Management

    March 1, 2004

    The saying is that treat a job search like a full time job. Right, specially when you already have a job that is close to full time and you’re a full time student. So can you really have 3 full time jobs? Not really.

    The point is that I looked around the web for a tool that would help me manage all my information concerning my job search. The tool I am createing will manage:

  • Job Postings
  • Job Contacts
  • Job Leads
  • References
  • Resumes

  • Trying out Mozilla Thunderbird for the first time.

    February 21, 2004

    So at work I usee MS Outlook 2003 and Outlook Express for my personal email. So, I just reformatted my machine and decided to try a new/better email client. I had heard a lot about Mozilla Thunderbird so I decided to give a spin. The installation was quite painless, and it is very fast. I am also using it for surfing newsgroups and so far so good. There is somewhat of a learning curve and I am still trying to figure out the new keyboard shortcuts, as well as how NG posts are handled when received. Overall this is definetly a step forward passed Outlook Express. Next, I will try to import all of my old email, as well as try some themes and extensions.
