Hi everyone,

Over the past few days I’ve had a series of comments (left on a variety of posts) which have contained offensive material of one form or another. And while I don’t want to get into an argument about censorship or free speech (or the specifics of these comments), I do want to strive to keep this site as family-friendly as possible.

And while I welcome all forms of comments, questions, and opinions which foster further debate and discussion, I’m going to implement stronger moderation policies starting today to ensure that no one is offended.

This means that comments which include any of the following material will not be posted:

• Hate speech (of any form)
• Threats or harassment
• Excessive “bad language”
• Product Solicitations
• Material Under Copyright (unless you own the copyright)
• All forms of spam

Obviously, I reserve the right to modify the rules any time. But rest assured, if you stay within the spirit of the list, you won’t have a problem.

Thanks for understanding,

~ Trevor

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to let you know that we are back online after a period of server instability.

You may have noticed that we were periodically down at times over the last few days. It appears that our server was having some issues but we have it all sorted out now.

I’ll be keeping an eye on the situation over the next little while, but everything should now be back to normal (fingers crossed).

Thanks for your patience,

Trevor

Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians!

“Wow” is all I can say. If you are interviewing with Microsoft, you may get a chance to see the Candidate Experience Lobby.

And what is a “Candidate Experience Lobby” you ask? Well, it’s your chance to play with some of the latest technology Microsoft has to offer. According to this post on their recruiting blog, the room has recently been upgraded:

We’ve had quite a few recent additions to our lounge including the newest games, Modern Warfare 2 controllers (for the serious gamer) and a sweet new Rockband set up – complete with ACDC “Back in the Black” drum sticks!

We’re also setting up some Zunes and Kin phones at the bar so candidates can explore the great variety of Microsoft devices while waiting for their interviews…

Sounds like a great way to get acquainted with the company!
