angel.wardriver: Hi, this is Angel. This is Barrett right?
me: indeed
angel.wardriver: You don't "know" me under this name.
angel.wardriver: security is sexy
angel.wardriver: computer world lol
me: gotcha
angel.wardriver: I'm all about aliases
angel.wardriver: Listen, my editor at Network world, I write many places, but she is looking for another writer
angel.wardriver: for either open source or microsoft subnet
angel.wardriver: Just thought I'd ask if you might be interested?
me: I'm not at all technical
angel.wardriver: Please don't be insulted that I asked, just never know - if you freelance like me, contracts are a good thing
me: don't know how to code or anything of that sort
me: I am in need of freelance work, though
me: I don't get approached about it anymore now that I'm a subject
angel.wardriver: I'll tell you how she started with me
angel.wardriver: Had to put each one in Google documents
angel.wardriver: for her to edit
angel.wardriver: She didn't even believe the govt spied on people, called it paranoid, so....I thought it might not work out there
angel.wardriver: but after about a month, she cut me loose
angel.wardriver: There is no save as draft on NetworkWorld, very aggravating
angel.wardriver: it's either preview or publish
angel.wardriver: BUT -- I know code, but you don't have to know code
me: wow, that's stupid
me: so what would I cover?
angel.wardriver: If you use Word, you can use a feature to copy/paste
angel.wardriver: Well, she told me that she is looking for a write for open source or Microsoft subnet
angel.wardriver: Hang on
angel.wardriver: http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/13712
angel.wardriver: crud, wait, wrong link
angel.wardriver: sorry
angel.wardriver: Here
angel.wardriver: http://www.networkworld.com/subnets/microsoft/
angel.wardriver: or
angel.wardriver: http://www.networkworld.com/subnets/opensource/
me: I don't even know what subnet is
angel.wardriver: You can pretty much find news and rewrite it
angel.wardriver: Just showing you the two different places where she is looking for a writer
me: yeah, I don't think I'd be qualified even to do that
angel.wardriver: That first link was me, but I am all about aliases, really a bit of a privacy freak
me: I'm really just a propagandist, I just happen to use the internet and hang with people who know these things
angel.wardriver: Here's a thought
angel.wardriver: If you are not interested, no problem
angel.wardriver: but if you are, just pull in a bunch of rss feeds to those particular subjects
angel.wardriver: then you just kinda rewrite in your own words
angel.wardriver: what you showed me, for the interview, you can write very well
angel.wardriver: I had to work more than a year on pics/paragraph, pics to get a gig that was just words
angel.wardriver: IDG owns a bunch of them
angel.wardriver: so it's a corp paying the bills Woot!
me: I appreciate the offer, but I'm trying to get back into what I was doing previously, which is politics and social issues
me: how much does it pay?
angel.wardriver: It depends what she would say, but if you took it, I would help you negotiate
angel.wardriver: being that I know better now than to start off with what I did ;)
angel.wardriver: Hope I didn't upset you to offer, but I liked how you write
me: well, I'll take a look at the job descriptions there and think it over, but I've got a film script I have to finish and some other things that I'm better adapted for; this sort of thing would be difficult for me to even rewrite accurately simply because I have no knowledge of the technical end of things
me: I'm not offended at all, I appreciate you helping me out
angel.wardriver: Ah, well, you have a place where I check often, this email
angel.wardriver: I almost never go green and chat very infrequently
angel.wardriver: but if you change your mind or if you think I can help in any way, please feel free to shoot me an email
angel.wardriver: And thank you kindly for the interview, much appreciated
me: no problem, happy to get my message out
angel.wardriver: Me too
angel.wardriver: Well, I'm getting bleeped, which is why I never go green, so I'm gonna fly
angel.wardriver: Keep me in mind, you never know when you can use a friend.
angel.wardriver: :)
me: indeed, thanks again
angel.wardriver: peace
