A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but I was never able to believe it. A rose just wouldn't smell as sweet if it was called a skunk cabbage or a thisel.
If you know that quote I would say you probably have a high concentration of estrogen in your bloodstream. If I quoted it wrong I do apologize, but that's what I remember.
What is in a name? Well when looking for a new position this fall I discovered that one interviewer googled my name and read all about me. While I don't believe most interviewers would be so gauche as to bring this up in an interview (outside of the person who interviewed me), I do believe that most interviewers will try and find out all about you - and that includes looking on the internet. So may I please request that if you have me listed under my full name that you change it to 10lees, 10ley or some other non common variation of my first name. This will also ensure that you will get juicy posts since I will have no link to myself...
I hope that all are having a very Merry Christmas and are spending a warm time with family and friends tonight!!

Posted by: Jeremy at December 24, 2005 07:45 PMwell as long as it take a little effort to find it as opposed to being able to find it easily... that's my goal.
Posted by: 10lees at December 25, 2005 11:27 AMYeah, you are not too hard to find.
I enjoy the fact that the douchebag at work posted my picture online (which he took after I told him not to on a day that I hadn't showered) for my job. That's fun. I look really really hot (not). Luckily, I now control that website (Thank you, RedDot). So I can remove it and deny knowing how that happened. Hah! He hasn't been trained yet, which is, in fact, 87% of his problem in general.
Posted by: Lo at December 26, 2005 02:34 PMHmm... on my would be website I totally butchered your last name... but I'll mask the beginning of it as well. :)
Posted by: babada at December 27, 2005 08:15 AMI actually have a lot of experience in this realm. It sounds weird and stalker-esque, I know, but I can assure you that it was always for legitimate purposes. The things that yield the most promising results are combinations of data pieces. For example, a name part (like first name) and a former place of employment or school. The name part isn't even necessary though and can often be learned through social engineering.
