Ok i can lie about credentials easily enough and lying about my skills is easy.
Writing my interests however is a TOTAL PAIN IN THE ASS!
I mean i cant just write "Motorbikes, videogames, warhammer, swords and obscure brittish comedies"
If im honest im going to come off as a whackjob.
maybe my creative writing skills have just abandoned me tonight.
Alas... i have an early start tomorrow, see yall later.

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.
If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.
Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.
To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.
Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

Re: Resume Writing sucks.
How about......"I enjoy the combination of personal transportation and sports, digital hand-eye coordination exercises as well as group training in strategic thought. I am also interested in hand-crafted self-defense artifacts and rare works of commentary on the human nature by British artists."Delphia wrote:

If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?
I said I have a big stick.

Hey - when I was interviewing with IBM they asked me what my hobbies and pastimes were. I told them my primary method of stress relief basically was that I enjoy generally sadistic activities that involve shooting people with high velocity projectiles that cause massive amounts of pain or mental anquish in their being lame ducks on the battlefield as I laugh my god-complex-induced laugh at them from elongated distances waving - hoping the target's team does not in fact also have a sniper, then repeating to myself as I honed in on the next target 'I decide who lives and who dies.'
The only reason I have this down fairly clearly is because they wrote it down for me and its in my file I got a copy of when I was let go. I think they got the joke of the fact I meant paintball and airsoft. All I know is when I told the hiring manager this - he laughed his ass off and told me I had "unique character." I think he called IBM's mental health line immediately after - but I got the job!
I say be yourself. Fuck'em if they can't see the unique individual you are and how that will benefit their company.
At least... that's the attitude I'm taking into my interview this coming Tuesday.

Wow.
Thanks Barbie!
Actually I think my last resume did have, under the "Additional Skills" section something along the lines of "free-styling creative writer of all things from resumes to fiction and all potential avenues in between." So I guess that is roughly professional bullshit artist. Yep. Works for me.
