Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

I just found a use for Backup, the .mac tool for saving your files online. I want to place my resume there so that I can work on it from another computer. I have alot of difficulty finding the inspiration to update my resume; I just can't find much pleasure in performing the task. Sure, I try to get pumped up by feeding myself affirmations--This is your career you're working on! and Every minute you put into your resume is an investment in the direction of personal satisfaction!--still, I can't seem to get myself motivated.
Perhaps if I work on it from another computer I'll be able to make the task less painful; at home there is a world of distractions. There's also no air conditioning at home, so the summer heat quickly adds to the misery of performing the update to what I will now call my 3P: Personal Promotional Paper. I figure that if I'm in a library somewhere (or, if I had a laptop, at a coffee shop somewhere), in a finely air conditioned room with distractions reduced to a minimum, I'll be more apt to get the job done. By storing my resume online I'd be able to access my resume whenever the inspiration struck. Justin Blanton describes how Backup simplifies the process of storing your files online, and even makes it easier to burn those files to a CD-ROM. Perhaps I'd store one copy in Word format, another in text, and another in HTML, to increase the chances of being able to open the document and work on it. Besides, I get more of a kick out of working with HTML; today, I saved my resume as an HTML file and spent the day cleaning up the code to make it pass the W3C's validator. I was having so much fun I even began changing some of the content of the resume itself. Hey, whatever it takes to get the job done. So I'll store my resume in Backup and I'll finally have a constantly updated, gorgeously crafted and finely worded piece of self-promotioning, right? Trouble is, the Backup utility requires Mac OS X--Jaguar, in fact--and I'm still using OS 9. So it looks like I'm going to have to find another place to store the document that is supposed to change my life. Why can't they make resumes easier, and a more accurate representation of your talents? For example, why can't this blog be my resume? Or how about the totality of all my blogs and my website? Now that would be a more accurate representation of why I can do, especially if the job is Internet-oriented. In the meantime, I suppose I can place a copy of my resume online for all the world to read. Please keep it mind that it's a work in progress. Now if only I can figure out how to use Blogger to update it. Hmmm...
