readers of this blog asking for career advice. I usually try to just politely
decline; I don't think I'm particularly qualified to give personal
advice to people that I don't know personally.
But one thing that I have done…
Why do I think that activity like that would melt the MnSCU server we all have to share?
(This is a Minnesota specific reference; you're not meant to understand it if not attached to either the U of M or one of the MN state uni's)
Hmmm...the UMM web server was brought down by hackers for several days last week...
