How many people applied for the position? Was it a tough decision, or did Jonathan jump out at you?

Jonathan jumped out at me. I was just walking down the street, and all of a sudden, "Boo!", and there was Jon. It scared me a great deal.

In all seriousness, we had several serious candidates to consider, and we did so.

Isn't it a bit late to be deciding on a college if he's going next fall?

Will he be able to keep working after he is at college, or will the job search become simi-anual?

We do seem to have a history of staffers quitting after they go to college, but Jon says he'll stick with us.

I haven't decided on what college I'm going to next fall because I haven't heard from all the schools I've applied to yet. And as Joey said, I'm going to stick with it while at college.

For the record, this is not former Slashdot editor JonKatz.

Aaah OK. Disregard my above post.

Just a question, but couldn't you just delete that post? Or "remove the text" on your own post and make people wonder what you wrote...

Maybe its a good tme to point out hat we prefer not to delete posts at all if we can help no to...even such instances like this.

While I did not recieve the position, I am glad that the wait is over. Congrats, Jonathan.

-W-

Congratulations Johnathan! I can't wait to see some of your work.

Congrats on getting the job Jon - I know first hand how much you wanted it (unfortunately).

Just don't forget about Vast Lands of Grandia! ¬_¬

Whoa, your link is messed up. Two http://'s

yeah, I think ticalc automatically adds the "http://" so he probably put one in as well...there should be a check for that...Not that the staff needs to focus on that any more than processing my java apps that I uploaded... ;) j/k

You will quicly notice that there is not two http://. One of them is missing a colon.

Uh.... you sure about that? Looks like http://http:// to me.

i think he is sure about that, because it is missing a colon:

right there

whoops, ignore the 'right there' stuff, i forgot it deleted all the spaces

It's still showing up on my screen as two colons. Are my eyes going bad or is this some kind of weird conspiracy against me? LOL Shall I take a screenshot? This is kinda weird

<nervous laughter>
hehe, conspiracy, what are you talking about, your crazy, theres no conspiracy....
</nervous laughter>

They're after me too!!!! I got 2 colons also. I bet that we are being singled out for viruses or other nasty computer stuff using a predator/prey system. You know, like how if you catch a zebra, paint it red, and release it the lions will always go for the red one instead of the other normal zebras because it is diffrent. Someone problably wrote a virus that reconizes two colons in the address when you follow the link and targets that person. Darn! And I just got my computer back from the computer fixer dude because some other stupid virus crashed it!

My shrink says I'm conspiraphobic but I think he is just tring to make me come back.

I see 2 colons as well... that's kind of wierd...

that is weird, cuz i'm still seeing

there, now it should point o the absent :

Do'h!
not again..........

Everything looks fine to me. Especially my link... ;) But seriously, all of the above posts are correct to me...not "http://http//" or "http://http://". It's all "http://". What browser are you guys using that are getting the wierd stuff...I'm on the most updated version of IE. :/

hmmmm.... this is odd

i use Mozilla 1.7b and get:
"http://http// www.ianbennett.net"
^^^ (missing a colon)

and with IE 6 i get :
"http://http:// www.ianbennett.net"
^^^ (not missing a colon)

is this some weird april fools joke? ;-)
