Received a recruiter message last week that stood out from the others:
I'm getting in contact on behalf of X, the creators of Apache Y
Nonsense.
Even if I was looking for a new job I'd stop reading at that point. The creators of Apache Y are the project's contributors, not X. X may be the inventor but in my conrete combination of X and Y that wouldn't be true, either. X may employ some of the contributors, but it does not create Apache Y.
If you allow recruiters to use such a phrase you first demonstrate you don't understand how the ASF works and second are obviously willing to lie. Why would I want to work for an employer who lies to me?

Since about a week, all HTTP requests to
dashboard.bloglines.com return an empty
text/plain response, no feed. This is not the first time
it has failed, not the first time without any public notice.
When I tried to find others experiencing the same problem I came along is it down right now which not only confirmed what I saw but also contained a workaround to resurrect your feed list as OPML. It was one of the latest comments further down that page and I've forgotten who had written it - strangely it is no longer there.
- Go to
www.netvibes.comand login using your bloglines credentials. - In the upper right corner under "Dashboards" go to "manage dashboards"
- On the left hand side click "backup data" and select "Bloglines" from the pulldown. Now you've got an OPML feed.
- It seems you can then go to "my dashboard" and import the OPML feed to your netvibes dashboard using "Add" (upper left corner) / "Feeds" / "Import OPML" to start reading your feeds in the netvibes reader which looks a lot like the bloglines you are used to. I haven't read the terms of service, yet, you better do so yourself. In either case most every RSS reader out there should be able to import the OPML file you've just created.

Last week the company I work for has published a podcast in which a colleague and I talk about the ASF, what it is, how it works and what I do there. German language only.

When my Mum called us this morning to tell us that my brother's first daughter was born my kids celebrated "finally I'm a cousin".
Welcome Carina - being born on 11/11 will not always be easy in the rhine area - and congratulations Claudia and Maik.
