# re: About "Personal" Blogging

Funny story I’ll post someday. I had an informational interview with someone where we got into a pretty heated debate about how to go about the job, and there couldn’t have been more of a disconnect. I immediately blogged about it, of course with a self-righteous rant.

I wanted to send a link to the blog to a blogging co-worker and friend. She happened to have the same first name as the person I interviewed with, and Outlook picked the interviewer’s email name instead of my co-worker. Luckily, it was late at night, and I caught it before it was read, but if I hadn’t, it would have been a mini-disaster. As it happened, I went back in and edited the entry: (http://johnporcaro.blogspot.com/2003_04_01_johnporcaro_archive.html#92461579).

And I got mail from the interviewer the next day saying she saw my blog and thought it was interesting…

A great reason to set up a rule in Outlook to delay delivery by 1 or 2 minutes, like I have. I have too many similar names in my address book to let my instincts take over (click click click, ctrl+enter, d'oh).

1 Tools > Rules Wizard...
2 click New...
3 choose "Start with blank Rule", select "Apply this rule after sending"
4 click Next... do not choose a rule at this step
5 click Next... click "yes" to prompt
6 choose "defer delivery by a number of minutes" rule, click "a number of", enter delay time

A little late to the party here, but...

Roy, I agree with you and Scoble. Especially now that my company has been acquired , I find myself more and more hesitant to blog... :/
