Data Privacy Day
I heard a lot of narrative about ‘Passwords’ and how important they are, and how you shouldn’t share them and …. not one mention of using highly secure passwords with a password manager.

#Rules Of Online Behavior
Your online persona is under everyone’s control, no matter how in control you think you are … you aren’t.
Shoutout to someone we all know and love … @manton …. Let me explain.
I have an instance of 1999 by @dave and had been wrestling with getting it imported to my micro.blog. Every which way I turned gave me part of what I wanted, but somehow never managed to complete the cycle. RSS, JSON, import to Wordpress, export to WXR … it always seemed to be an incomplete record … but I knew the JSON file was complete.
Manton ran his magic last night and lo … over 500 posts (if I counted right) are now all added to my existing instance and my ‘micro world' is all in one central place.
Not only that but in that process he also fixed the bad behavior of large images pushing out the edit screen on the web.
For posterity, my first 1999 post was on 21st April 2016 and is now right here on micro.blog
Thankyou Manton
It’s the conclusion:
-
It’s not how you apply, it’s who you know. And if you don’t know someone, don’t bother.
-
Companies are trying to fill a position with minimal risk, not discover someone who breaks the mold.
-
The number of jobs you apply to has no correlation to whether you’ll be considered, and you won’t be considered for jobs you don’t get the chance to apply to.
There is actually a whole lot more - that’s what ‘The Present Of Work' is going to be about.

Talk about an anti-climax .. it buys Google a 0.34% stake in Uber - because they still value Uber at 72 billion dollars .. which as of today is just about 10% of what Google is worth.

You might think them unusual … but in England they are the norm …
BTW - of the ten British festivals listed … 9 of them are English … the tenth being waaaaaay up in Shetland … but they do have weird stuff in mainland Scotland, Wales and Ireland … its just that we English take pride in our weirdness - indeed strive for same.

We are getting ready for our first trip tomorrow morning to see what the weather looks like and then there’s no chance of getting it through the night.
I like Dan Rather. He’s a fine newsman, an interesting person to talk to, and quite a bit nuttier than most of those media types (I consider that a good thing). That said, nothing in my rich and varied life prepared me for the experience of performing behind him as he ‘danced’ and ‘sang’ ‘What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?’

It’s Micro Monday … some suggested peeps to follow … @stefp @minton @laurentboileau @pgor .. common threads … engaging around excellent music … particularly in the progressive genre (much as I hate broad genre categorizations).
