Except I'm not actually talking about spelling, per se, but about attention to detail. Spelling errors in a resume is just sloppy rubbish.

As an IT/Development manager, I only had one role that I hired for where the skills for getting the job matched the skills for doing the job: Business Analyst. Not job entailed presenting information clearly, both written and verbally. So I expected the resume and cover letter to be organized and clear.

Programmers, on the other hand, I wouldn't expect the same level of polish. But I would expect a complete absence of spelling errors and typos. Because in programming these things count -- a lot.

A lot of the people that applied, and that I hired, did not have English as a first language. So I gave a lot of latitude with regard to word selection and grammar. But not spelling. Use a goofy word or two, but spell them right.

I figured that most people were highly motivated when writing a resume -- about an motivated on you can get. And if not level of motivation cannot get you to take care, then you'll just be a bug creation machine if I let you touch my codebase.

Proper pickled onions and Branston pickle.

Bob's Red Mill makes an adequate substitute. It's not as uniform as McCann, but it is good.

I totally agree on the toasting, but note that it means the oats take longer to cook in the water. Also, I use a 2:1 ratio of water:milk instead of just water.

Also, also, I add a handful of rolled oats when the steel cut oats are nearly done.

I remember that you could get close to this by running the same card into the keypunch several times, typing different things each time.

I don't know anything about journaling, but the Platinum pen in the picture is an amazing, yet inexpensive fountain pen.

It seems more rikely, if hit by an IBM truck in 1985 that he would be ebcdic'd to Seattle.
