OpenTask publishes the following sequel to Resume and CV book:

Title: Salary Figures: A Codebook of Expectations
Author: Dmitry Vostokov
ISBN-13: 978-1906717469
Paperback: 100 pages (1 January 2009)
Product Dimensions: 20.3 x 12.7
Book Annotation: After publishing Curriculum Vitae as a book the author started receiving e-mails asking for his salary expectation. Being shy to discuss such matters openly he devised a codebook of salaries. Now everyone could answer a question about his or her salary expectations by referring to specific page. Also colleagues and friends could say to each other: “I’m still on page X” or “Last month I turned the page Y over”. The last 10 pages of the codebook specify various perks. The response template to the question of salary expectations is: “My salary expectation is on page Z plus benefits listed on pages N and M”. (*) X,Y,Z,N,M are page numbers from 3 to 100. Good luck with job hunting :-)

Typeset in Chilling font the book is suitable for wide salary ranges, from 1,000 to 1,000,000.

Occult Debugging

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Once upon a time I was analyzing a memory dump and in the process become upset. I realized that the dump was vacuous and afterwards learnt that the customer forced the dump of a normal system with steady-state computational activities inside. At the same time computational precognition, the ability to see in advance what would happen with the system, always fascinated me from the very beginning of my memory dump analysis work. In computational precognition phrase, the word “computational” refers to computers and “precognition” refers to humans but this should not be the problem as the boundary between these two categories is not sharp and can be shifted in either direction. This is an opening of the new post series about investigation of occult, paranormal and supernatural in the realm of computable. In short, about psi-computation.
