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.

Who did the top logo? That is very ticalc.org-esque. Pretty nicely done. (Please, do not correct my grammer!)

He is yet another fake, look at his id number, no where close to no_ones, and look at his email, and the handle on his bio page, no_one_. This is yet another fake.

No, that's RCT. ccoderz.org is the group that a bunch of CalcSoft guys (including myself) are putting together. I bought the domain name and set up a bunch of ccoderz e-mails; his is sean@ccoderz.org (Sean Gearhart). .... oh, you meant "no_one_2000_.". Yes, he's a fake.

Then again, maybe not; Philip Shirey is the name on both accounts... Maybe he accidentally forgot the password for "no_one_2000_" and made "no_one_2000_" to ameliorate the problem.

I think I have a solution to find who the real "no_one_2000_" is. All we have to do is ask both of the "no_one_2000_"'s when they signed onto ticalc.org, ask them their account information, and ask them to recall what comments they wrote originally in other comment areas. The original "no_one_2000_" will know his account history and comment history, while the faker will not. Once the original "no_one_2000_" is identified, we can look at his account and discover his true identity, as well as the fake, and banish him. It's worth a try, if you are so angry about it. Good luck! w00t!
