Speaking of Indeed.com, I saw a job in my Indeed.com daily email that looked familiar. There was something about SR TECHNICAL WRITER - SIMULATION & TRAINING SOLUTIONS that echoed in my brain.

I had a good reason for that thought. I published a post called 6407 days to THE end 113 days (3 months, 3 weeks, 1 day) ago with the same job title. Nope, not applying for it. I'm seriously having fun with Dir2HTML and generating HTML files for my s:\disaster recovery planning folder instead of manually creating a lot of pages and a lot of links.
