More On The Dangers Of Blogging

Remember how I mentioned in class that I had to take down my personal blog because my future employers found it on the Internet and warned me about it? Well, yesterday, its replacement (the URL can be found in twiki, if anyone's interested) was named blog of the week in the entertainment section of my country's national newspaper. It's a completely bizarre occurrence because my blog is the most boring thing on the web; I only talk about school and clothes. Anyway so I had to go through my blog for the second time in six months and take out all potentially hazardous references (e.g. complaints about my future job, any identifying information). I am now convinced that nothing is private on the Internet.

In research news, I've received three interview responses so far... hopefully the rest will come in within a week or so and I can start putting things together and doing followups if necessary. I sent out the questionnaire over the weekend (I wish I'd managed to get it out by Friday afternoon instead of Saturday though) and hoped that maybe that would encourage people to fill it out more quickly. We'll see how that goes...
