Subscriptions bouncing

In case you aren't aware, we have a subscription system for content posted to the site. By default we automatically subscribe members to job postings. Any member can subscribe to an assortment of content by type, author, or a specific content item. When content is added or updated, an email is sent out to the member's account email address.

A small number of members are using Yahoo email addresses and those subscriptions are being rejected. So in those cases, you aren't receiving any updates about your subscriptions, primarily the most recent job opening posted to the site.  read more »

New Classified Ads section

I've created a new section of the site called Classified Ads the purpose of which is to help support the SMPTE Chapter 11 organization and the Broadcast TV Engineering program. The program at Napa Valley College doesn't get a lot of monetary support from the college for new equipment or repairs to old equipment. A lack of state of the art equipment means the students won't be exposed to current technology. Limited funds to repair old equipment means that only limited repair efforts are possible for the students and can frustrate the learning process.  read more »

Personal Pictures

Just so you know, we've upped the maximum dimensions and upload size of pictures attached to a user account. These images can now be up to 125x125 pixels and 60 kilobytes in size. This image should be a tasteful picture of yourself. Remember, potential employers can see your profile and image in posts and comments.  read more »

BBQ Event

Okay, at the meeting we decided to host a BBQ to start raising funds.

Chicken, ribs, and vegetable shishkabobs will be our main items.
The sides will be potato salad or coleslaw. Drinks will also be available.

The event is to take place three weeks from now. So around Sept. 17th or 19th.
It will be between 11:00 and 2:00pm in the NVC Quad.
We are going to try to rent a BBQ from the school, but let us know if someone can bring a large grill.

So far:
Micheal is going to do the grilling
Nick will be our cashier  read more »

Resumes

The old site had an active resume listing, we've now rebuilt that feature. Active resumes can be found under the Active Resumes link in the main menu at the top of the site. The original page used JavaScript and didn't expose resumes to search engines. This obviously was both good and bad, good in that a person's resume information, public or private, wasn't exposed; bad in that the purpose of a resume is to get people to see it.  read more »

We are live now

Although we are still in a bit of a "under construction" phase the new site is nearing its completion.

Many of the old links are now invalid as the old ".htm" files are all gone in favor of a php based system. I've just started adding redirect directives for the old site's main links. I'm sure we are really confusing google, et al with all the links disappearing and now returning with 301 redirect directives. I still have to add a number of primary links from the old site and some links will disappear as they won't have a direct replacement.  read more »

The new site

This is my first blog entry. Right now administrators, advisors, and SMPTE Chapter 11 officers have write permission to create blog entries. Each permitted person will have their own blog and the Blogs link will show all blogs for all people, sorted by date.

We aren't live yet but we hope to be soon. This site will be found at SMPTE Chapter 11 but while it's under construction it is hosted under a different domain name.  read more »
