TECHREPUBLIC COMMUNITY NETNOTE NEWSLETTER for July 19, 2005
WE’VE GOT ANOTHER CRAZY SWEEPSTAKES UP OUR SLEEVES. . .
The question of the week here at TechRepublic is: What would you buy
with A $250 AMAZON.COM GIFT CERTIFICATE?
https://www.techrepublic.com.com/5208-6230-0.html?forumID=96&threadID=177787&start=0
That’s because we’ve conjured up another wacky TechRepublic
sweepstakes, this time rewarding you for having at least four entries
on your TR Contacts list by July 31, 2005. The prize is a $250 spending
spree at Amazon. If you’ve already got four contacts, you’re probably
already entered–just check the GET CONNECTED SWEEPSTAKES PAGE for
complete rules (yes, our lawyers make us say that).

The Get Connected Sweepstakes winner will be announced in a future
edition of this very Community NetNote, so keep reading.

TechRepublic member M_A_R_K may be the perfect newbie. He’s been on the

avatar, started a blog, requested a new site feature, and had a run-in
with Oz_Media. Of course, he’s an engineer from Texas, so what do you
expect?

LAST WEEK’S MOST ACTIVE TECHNICAL Q&A QUESTIONS
PRINTING
If only all Tech Q&A exchanges were this polite. TR member NU4EVER had
a problem printing e-mails, asked for help, got several responses,
commented on most of them, rated them all, and then closed the
question. No wonder this entry topped our activity list.

LAST WEEK’S MOST ACTIVE DISCUSSIONS
HOW TO FIND A JOB?
You can’t get a job without having work experience, but you can’t get
work experience without a job. TR member and aspiring professional
program SHAUNBED is trapped in this employment paradox. See how you
fellow TR member’s suggested he could get unstuck.

“TOO HOT FOR TR”
The following discussions were sufficiently non-technical or
controversial to be suppressed from TechRepublic’s Hot and New
Discussions lists.
LONDON BOMBED
TechRepublic member FONKEN MONKEN UK was perilously close to the events
of July in London, and was therefore the first to post about them on
TR. Members of all nationalities soon flocked to this thread to share
their experiences and opinions of the event, and one of the most
resonant discussions in recent memory soon flourished. A must-read
among off-topic threads at TR.
