ticalc.org is hiring
Posted by Magnus on 8 December 2002, 14:45 GMT

Ok, so we're hiring. The post we are currently after is primary news editor. This means that you will be actively "hunting" for news to post on our site, both from outside sources and from our file archive. Secondary work expected if you have the time include surveys and maintaining static content on our site (it should not be quite as static as it currently is).

So, what's required of you? Mainly time. Doing news can take a lot of time - talking to a lot of people, reading a lot of sites... Naturally, a decent familiarity with "the TI scene" as it is today is also required, so you'd know how and where to find things to post. As for special skills, none are really required. You will need to be reasonably fluent in the written English language. While we happily accept staff members from outside the US (see our current staff listing for proof of this), English is the only language used on our site.

Sounds interesting? Let us know at newstaff@ticalc.org. Please include the following information:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Age
  • Current level of education (finished or unfinished)
  • Where you live (town/state/country)
  • Approximate amount of time you think you can put into this per week
  • Quick summary of relevant experience
  • A quick motivation on why we should pick you
  • If you have MSN or AIM or similar as means for us to contact you

We will accept applications until Dec 22nd.
Also, please note that we are looking for a long-term commitment. If you think you only have time or want to do this for a couple of months, we are currently not interested.

Update (22/12): Ok, no more applications. There were a lot though, so it'll take us a while to get through them all.

Thanks to all those who sent in applications. We may not be able to respond to each of you in person unless further questions are required.

No, it's not. Use PreOS or UniOS.

The same things happen to me, too.

The problem seems to reside in the compatability of the HW2 patch. Whenever I run it on my AMS 2.05 TI-89, a small message pops up under the status bar saying that there is an error and the program stops.

Hmmmm...Maybe we should consult its author. After all, DoorsOS will not run on an HW2 calc unless the patch is successfully installed

Wait! Everyone go to the TI-89 Asm Shell archives!

There is a new HW2 Patch (HW2 patch 2.30) AND IT IS COMPATIBALE WITH AMS 2.01-2.05. Three w00t!s for the HW2 patch team!

w00t!
w00t!
w00t!

ok... is it just me or has ticalc.org suddenly disabled everything that has to do with ? every single calc's archives section is missing a section. even "upcoming " is gone. maybe it's just me, although I don't know how it happened if it is.

Yeah, and I wasn't convinced he was lying, he was probably just confused. This site doesn't have any filters. Anyway, he probably had it highlighted and accidentally hit a key. That would erase it. Either that, or he has a MAC! (Here come all the Mac users to flame me!)

No flame, just a Mac doesn't do that, only Windows! haha, jk, I don't think any OS's delete words at random, unless they have a virus.

Yeah, actually I find it so hard to use macs, that I can't delete words, much less type them! (j/k again)

Actually, imo macs aren't that bad, they're just......... really different.

Man, it realLY tells you something about a company when they mess up their slogan so badLY. It should be "Think DifferentLY". Ugh. That realLY annoys me.
