Do I know anyone who can comment whether #ISACA (student) membership is of any value to an archivist/records manager-in-training? Or is that organization more suitable for IT folks than LIS people?

I am desperately trying to remember the name of this browser-based RPG we used to play circa 2005. Like OGame or Hordes, MMO played in browser. You could build and sell things.It had magic and the strength of spells would change for everybody depending on how much that school of magic was used. What was it called?!

Boost if you're old enough to know why I have one of these on my computer desk.

Dear #Mac LazyWeb,

Now that the semester is over and I have some free time, I was thinking about finally updating my 2018 (Intel) MacBook Pro from #macos 13.7 to #macos15.1.1.* I’ve never jumped up by two OS versions at once before; are there any update-related gotchas I should be aware of? My hard disk is already formatted using APFS (or whatever the successor to HFS+ was), and I have two full backups.

Many thanks in advance for whatever advice and warnings you can share!

* Unfortunately, macOS 14 is no longer available to me, at least via the normal update mechanisms

I'm seeking advice from anyone who has recently crafted a #resume. I have a potential #JobOffer and need to create one. If you've done this recently, how did you approach it? I've explored several #ResumeBuilders but am unsure which ones are #accessible and suitable for me. I wanted to generate a resume from my #LinkedIn profile, but it seems that feature is no longer available. Additionally, I've attempted college three times but had to withdraw each time due to #ChronicIllness. My primary experience includes contract usability testing and earning certificates through #freeCodeCamp and #Codecademy. How would you recommend addressing this on a resume? I'm considering a #FunctionalResume template in #MicrosoftWord, but it's quite daunting.

How to style #EdTech when it's not a hashtag?

I've hit the choice limit in the poll, but 'edtech' or 'Edtech' should be in there too.

Please elaborate in your replies if you so please, and boost for visibility!
