Job opportunities v competencies: focus on these?
oDesk, the freelancer haven, did — yet another — good thing and published this awesome table. It’s a “fill ratio” table that show the imbalance between job offers and how much success the companies are having filling them in.
It is very interesting because it is, in my opinion, an indicator of where one should focus their training effort in the current rather depressed market.

Rich-text editor in Sharepoint with Firefox
If, like me, your company’s insistence on using Sharepoint as an Intranet tool contributes to rapid neurons death, there is as least a glimmer of hope: you can still use Firefox without being punished by having to type raw HTML code when editing a page (Sharepoint, unsurprisingly, only likes IE)
Simple steps to use your own rich-text editor:
- Install Xinha
- Edit SharePoint page
- Right-click, select “Open Xinha here!”
- Edit! then click [OK]
- Now, submit page with all its HTML code. Note: You can edit existing pages as well.
Done!
