Another “Workaround” Audio Post (in lieu of more traditional answers, for someone near the Alps?)
27 MarWell, hopefully these are making it somewhere; this one, specifically, was created for a bit of a larger audience; all in the spirit of having the largest possible group gather and answer some of these questions?
And how apropos, that the main platform mentioned, Twitter, has recently been found to have an ‘unfollow’ bug (Google “Twittter Unfollow Bug @TechCrunch” for that tidbit; fresh, according to @LinkedIN!)
Anyway, just editing these on a flash, need to actually go, print out the questions, and continue answering! (and keeping our fingers crossed we can all gather ’round them video cameras, someday?)
Cheers!
Audio Post (Edited) “Where There Is a Will, There is a Way” (#NewSpotters)

… Since I mentioned this one to many, as a workaround for those who may not have access to email or more conventional methods, etc, etc; regular ones only say “Audio Post” – and I will DM you specifically!
Cheers!

If you’re here, reading this, it’s either because we know each other, for a while, and you’re wondering about my whereabouts, so yeah, things could not be better, all things considered!… however, if you’re here ‘cuz a search engine found us, ‘cuz a tweet we liked and favorited, or because @LinkedIN fed me a “Job Posting” that in turn got to you ‘peek’ at the blog, well, read on! (or again, as you may have read the whole profile there… which is what I’m ‘#Reblogging’ here!)
So I’ll start at the beginning: I’m NOT a ‘millenial’ freshly minted out of a renowned college; what I actually am is, Demographics-wise, a “tail-end #Boomer”, a Venezuelan-American Inmigrant to the U.S, freshly-minted as a U.S. Citizen, whose life and travails are centered on all things technology, so no, if you’re actually looking for a younger mind to train, skip to the next profile/blog/search - and thanks for reading!
Yes, I have been around, know a few languages, some of them NOT spoken by machines but by people; fully bilingual in Spanish & English, conversant in German, and fluent in most every other app out there, yes.
Sorry, I don’t write nor develop code/scripts but I can manage/tweak well what others have written; so yes I can help you manage integrations and find workable workarounds in your I.T. Systems… and finally, YES, I’m looking for those in the business who consider Social Media/Networks as such: “Integrated I.T. Processes/Systems” – In Real Time & Mission-Critical to most!
Next steps? we surely can figure our whether or not I am the right guy for you; at that, continue here, check out the “#DemoReel (f.k.a. Blog); or follow @FJPalacio on Twitter? (and howzabout those @LinkedIN Recommendations? Good ones from Good Peoples, too!)
Take a peek, here, there and anywhere ~ hope to hear from some of you soon!…
Cheers!
P.S: And if anyone besides Corporate HR is here reading, perhaps:
a) I can play Mercenary for a while, help you out with a few battles, let you win the war and get a referral as a reward, too? or
b) Long Term Goal? Setup a Foundation/Network to ameliorate the gaps in the Usage of The Technologies, as some would put it… Maybe you and your partners can envision the profit potential across Demographics? Regions and Countries, too?… it’s ONE cloud, after all, no?
c-ya!

The good thing about filing a complaint with the EC is Google doesn't have to do the legwork.
