Don't assume

When they check my 7 minutes of login time for the console transcript they will so "Ok that was a minimum of keystrokes". The funny this is, I certainly could have put up any page I wanted, including a gigantic pic of JJ's boob. The activity is in a chrooted box with rooty access. Still waiting for the next email. -drl

The web page states the install is not done. Make it done. I'd post my resume on it. Edited by broomberg March 25, 2004, 10:13:47 PM EST Expand All History

You were asked to put up a web page. I take that to mean a web page you put together. Not someone else's page. I kinda like Barry's resume idea. But since they explicitly said up front they didn't want resumes sent to them, I'd hold off until asked. For you, something from an unusual perspective, maybe a picture of earthrise over the moon, and some text on what you thought of the test so far. Fancy it up. You're trying to impress these people. Have fun, Carl Forde

I mean, it takes 2 minutes to download Apache and 3 minutes to install it and 5 seconds to start. The purpose of this step is to see if a person is familiar with "cron world". My attitude is - do exactly as told. This is no place for showing off. I think these people are serious. But, we'll see. This is the way you should hire people, I know that. -drl
