On: Ask Slashdot: Best Certifications To Get?

Last I heard (a couple months ago), that was about the same situation in the mid-west of the U.S. They graduate, and years later don't have a job yet.

And those that do have work may not even be getting paid for it.

No, the average person will use a lawyer when they must, otherwise they try to do what they can first.

Sad that I had to scroll almost all the way to the bottom to find this gem of a response. Very nice.

On: How Do You Manage the Information In Your Life?

... But sadly when I read your question I thought of myself.

  It depends upon what you're tracking. Blog for writings (old school papers and new), KeePass for logins, XML and Subversion for tracking books, CDs, games, gas/fillups, technical projects, and the like. (It was Excel, then Access, then SQL, but XML is line with my technical interests and allows much more flexibility.)

  If you're thinking about using Web sites, make sure there's a good way to get your data out. Otherwise, if you're serious about it, you'll end up wasting time when a better option comes along, or you're forced to migrate.

  But if you can just learn to let things go, I think you'll be much happier.

Woah there.

XSLT is an *absolutely* obscure language?

Sounds like either I need a raise, or you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Seeing as how you suggest mouse gestures aren't obscure, I'd bet on the latter.
