My NMUBaseball website was hacked a few weeks back, and I finally had a chance to clean it up and get it back working right. Luckily the hacker was apparently lazy and only changed files named "index.*"
After updating all the index pages (thank you Archive.org for rescuing the Newbie guide main page), I just wanted to mention that just in time for the playoffs the USCHO Newbie Guide has a somewhat easier URL.
http://newbie.nmubaseball.net
it redirects to the hosted page at:
http://www.nmubaseball.net/uscho/newbie/
If you think n00b would be a more apt short url name, let me know.
The guide is going to need a big update next year.
Congrats on the more long term employment CHA.Thank you everybody.
The fact that I'm really happy about an offer that involves an 8% pay cut I think gives a pretty good indictation of how bad things are right now in terms of engineering options in the Twin Cities. It's been this way for the last 3 years which unfortunately was basically the same time the private engineering firm I worked for was bought out by a much larger engineering firm that looks at things a lot differently. For the last three years I've really had no option other then to work in other cities or risk being unemployed. And then I get only one day of notice before being put on unpaid status. When I asked about this the response I got was well you can collect unemployed. My thought thanks.
Unemployeement for me is a 60% pay cut and last time I checked my house payment and the rest of my bills aren't going to go down by 60% over night so it might be nice to get more then one day of notice so I can start planning and make adjustments.
Employers like employees to give atleast two weeks notices when leaving but I guess the opposite isn't important.
Oh well what's done is done. On the postive side sometimes it pays off to not except the first offer and try to get what you feel you deserve which is what happen with the state.
