Another Hiptop quickie

[chipotle]

While I told myself not to keep doing this, Linvatec's IS group is working on the network again and I can't test anything that I've been working on. So.

The brief bout of Fall temperatures--at least by Florida standards--appears to be over. It was in the mid-70s when I left for work this morning before 8:00. Have I mentioned that this is a part of the state that I won't miss?

Things went well with mom yesterday--quite well. We spent most of the day together and I think she may even help me with expenses for the road trip west. This isn't to say she isn't upset in some ways (as she would put it, she's already grieving) but it's something she'd like to be able to do. She chastized me a little for only planning to do this over one week instead of two.

I don't say it often enough: I have a pretty cool mom.

Despite grumps with IS' timing, work is also going well. My only concern is getting too far ahead of schedule and running out of work too early. No, I wouldn't mind heading out on the road trip a week early or hving more time to coordinate moving my furniture out there, but another week of pay would sure be nice.

Last but not least I'm considering moving my journal off the front page of my website. For LJ readers this would be no change at all; it'd be an extra click for anyone reading it at ranea.org. This is, I'll be honest, an element of mild paranoia on my part; employers do sometimes put candidates' names into search engines, and getting Too Much Information can be a problem. I'd rather it not be made quite that easy--granted, they only have to give a second glance rather than a first, but that's as far as I can realistically go anyway at this point.

Paranoia or not, it's not nice to have my LJ come up when you enter my name in a standard Google search! You can always be more biased to the use of the friends only or private functions, for posts that you would rather not have potential employers or, whoever, reading. But of course you already knew that!

Let me second the other comments: moving your journal off your web site's front page is essentially pointless. Googling on your name is almost guaranteed to find it, no matter where it happens to be, and I don't think having it one link removed is likely to be any help. Although I can understand the urge to try and tuck it away and wouldn't blame you if you did, I just don't know if you can really expect it to make any difference.
