I don't know if this is still a THING people use any more among us Jackals, but Richard A here (S1E7, "Vocational Wheel") and I wanted to let folks know that I'm currenty looking for employment in the NYC area. (Telecommute is okay, too, but I really prefer going into an office.) I've been a Community Lead for the last year with a local Fintech startup, and done stuff ranging from driving user growth, content curation, email newsletter design, blogging, managing social network profiles, Q/A, and even ordering snacks for the office.

You can find a résumé at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/502172/resume%20-%20richard%20j%20anderson.pdf

Thanks to my fellow Jackals for your support.

Hi some thought following #87...

Is Persistence another, better, term for Grit?

Will Merlin give himself a break for having a short attention span durintt een years? we can check out late teenage male developement to show thats par for the course!

why does #87 not show in the wiki?

did you realise this text input box hides the text as you type at the end of the line so you miss about 5 characters ?

do questions such as these disuise my massive appreciation of the show!

Another Back to Work! Time to put on the "That's Fine for Merlin" t-shirt, grab the Nice!™ almonds, and settle in for another weekly installment of my favorite podcast. Anything could come up - bathroom cleanliness, passive aggressive behavior patterns, flatiron steaks... the list goes on. One thing for sure - IT'S THE WAY OF THE FUTURE.

"... but we'd expect nothing else from Sir Ridley, who also goes on to drop a couple of tidbits about the sequel to Blade Runner.

'It is happening," confirms the director. "With Harrison Ford? I don't know yet. Is he too old? Well, he was a Nexus-6 so we don't know how long he can live.'

So there you have it; that's that debate put to rest."

How on earth did I let you folks sucker me into signing up for another such-and-such social site?

Didn't you promise me a free barka lounger or somethin'?

Why am I here. Another online account. I don't tune in live, so I guess this is as jackally as I get.

Scroll over Dan's face up there. At the top. The top of the screen. Where is says members. Yep, right there.

It scrunches. I can't stop.

Hey, if I made the change correctly, all jackals should now have the ability to create new wiki pages (not just edit them).

Let the Creation of Very  Important Materials begin!

Am I the only nude person here? Because, as ever, I REALLY hope I'm not the only nude person here.

I didn't actually post this, did I?

Are you working from home in your altogether, sealed to your red leather chair, just steps away from all your favorite globes, candlesticks, and cowboy boots?

Erm. Wrong podcast. Where is John Roderick anyway?

This site is pretty cool and easy to use. I would use it if I had a job. I quit my job a few months ago like Dan told me to, but I forgot to listen after that because I only listen to podcasts at work.

I think it is *perfect* for the Back to Work community. I like this format way better than a phpBB thing that most podcasts use.

Wondering if any Australian Jackals had received their shirt orders yet? Just wanted to check if I should start to worry yet.

 

...which is a horrible yet somehow appropriate for this forum kind of thing to ask, now that I think of it.

Nick Ellis:

Answer to my own question! http://instagr.am/p/QHiI0qr50N/ Any other Australian Jackals should keep an eye on the mail.

Can I not edit my username? This is the only place on the whole Internet I'm not @jxpx777. </hyperbole>

Marko Savic:

No, sorry. We're actually hiding the usernames in our next release (November). We'll be replacing it with @Full Name autocomplete.

Brian Grishaber:

No worries Marko. It keeps us honest. Better than hiding behind obscure user names like Casper_cdn. Oops.

Drats! I was even able to twist the arm of my IT manager to get lucaberta as my email address in my new company, where everyone always had firstname.lastname for their accounts... obviously noone had to fight for an entire lifetime with a last name such as Bertagnolio! :-(

P.S. Autocomplete is fine, I just like to whine every once in a while.

Safari 6 has some drawing errors with CSS transition. The end result is hilarious.
