We're being really optimistic here.
Ok, I am being absurdly optimistic,
but we are getting closer to having
enough of the new Marin Professionals
web site in place to seek someone to
break it for us.
Anyone with interest, please respond.
We are a group of Marin based IT Professionals who actively seek to improve their careers by pooling information, sharing insights and supporting each other as we move forward together. We invite prospective members to contact us through this site.

Too much of a thing : Web Site Scaling
Hey that web site worked just fine until people started using it !
I built it, so I should know : It's solid as a rock.
Given the right circumstances it may sink like one too.
UpScaling a web site may not be a trivial matter.
Here are a few pointers on how to escape with your
professional life and
Avoid Being Crushed By Success

Openings At Santa Rosa Junior College
There are not quite so many technical opportunities, but there
are some. The SRJC has a very good reputation and apparently
still has very nice benefits too. Look here for further enlightenment :

The Dark Side Of Social Media ?
We've seen all sorts of very useful things arise from social media.
Everything from the `arab spring` movements to our own `Occupy
What The 0.1% have not hidden well enough`. It has even helped
a few of us find work.
While this is a very useful means to an end, but one should be careful with that end.
It may or may not be just what it appears to be.

Support your local professionals
As many of us already know the resources devoted to Marin Professionals
have been reduced. I guess the unemployment rate has improved enough
to put the resources elsewhere.
If you want to write an emil in support of what Marin Professionals
has done for you, you can try the San Rafael Workforce Services
Manager, Ms. Andrea Lackey.
You can find her ar andrea.lackey@edd.ca.gov.
Please be brief, polite and persuasive.

UBUNTU Advances ..
For the first few years of its existence, it would have been fair to say that Canonical was essentially polishing, packaging and publishing Debian Linux (and Gnome) to create the base Ubuntu desktop, to great acclaim. For the past few years, though, the company has pushed new looks and new applications (cf. Unity and Ubuntu TV), and refused to stick with prettifying existing interfaces. Now, Barence writes with this excerpt from PC Pro: "Ubuntu is set to replace the 30-year-old computer menu system with a 'Head-Up Display' that allows users to simply type or speak menu commands. Instead of hunting through drop-down menus to find application commands, Ubuntu's Head-Up Display lets users type what they want to do into a search box. The system suggests possible commands as the user begins typing – entering 'Rad' would bring up the Radial blur command in the GIMP art package, for example. HUD also uses fuzzy matching and learns from past searches to ensure the correct commands are offered to users. Canonical's Mark Shuttleworth told PC Pro the HUD will make it easier for people to learn new software packages, and migrate from Windows to Linux software without having to relearn menus. The HUD will first appear in Ubuntu 12.04.
