Press Release - Jobping launches niche job website listing Microsoft skilled vacancies

Press Release

Sydney, Australia - April 22, 2010 - Last week, Jobping, a new job posting web site aimed specifically at job seekers and employers who work with Microsoft technologies, was released into public beta.

Jobping currently focuses on the Australian market and aims to bring a better quality of candidate to a posted vacancy via a niche, industry targeted approach.

The site is unique, user friendly and streamlined when compared to the larger job post boards. For instance, publishing is done in a couple of clicks and the job is instantly broadcast through Twitter, Facebook and job indexing sites such as Indeed and CareerJet. Recruiters are also able to add their company Twitter feed to a job post in order to cross sell other vacancies all in one place.

From a job seeker point of view Jobping searching works just like today's search engines with specific job filtering options. Job seekers also benefit by being kept up to date in a variety of ways including through Rss, Internet Explorer Web Slice, Twitter or Facebook. Similarly, job seekers are able to apply for a position using their LinkedIn profile, saving time and eliminating the need to keep two separate resumes up to date and they may optionally attach a traditional pdf or word resume.

More features and functions based on user feedback and requirements will be implemented quickly as Jobping takes an organic and user oriented approach to product development.

Jobping will remain free during the beta period which will continue for 3-6 months. Advertisers utilising the site during the beta period will be rewarded through special discounts once the pricing structure is introduced.

Visit us on www.jobping.com !

The team behind Jobping is: 

  • Mark Kemper - Microsoft Certified Professional Developer .Net Framework 2.0 Enterprise Applications Developer.
  • Ally Colqhoun    - Graphical designer front end developer.
  • Mathieu Kempé - Former Visual C# Microsoft MVP (2004-2006).
  • Laurent Kempé - ASP.NET Microsoft MVP since 2001.

IIS

301 Redirect on IIS, from domain laurentkempe.com to www.laurentkempe.com

I got an email the other day from Didier, than a message on my facebook page from Antoine about an issue with my blog www.laurentkempe.com and my .NET portal www.techheadbrothers.com which were not redirecting correctly from laurentkempe.com and techheadbrothers.com to the ones with www in front.

So I fired up IIS manager and fixed this using the following easy way:

  1. Create a web site for the one without the www; e.g. laurentkempe.com, configure the web site content directory to the path of the one you have in www.laurentkempe.com
  2. Configure the web site to listen on laurentkempe.com, if needed

    4544683393_41bcd8b345_o[1]
  3. Then on the Home directory you will have to set the redirection url using ‘When connecting to this resource the content should come from’ set to ‘A redirection to a URL"’.  And check ‘A permanent redirection for this resource’.

You are done! And you can control that using a tool like HttpWatch Professional and for sure from your browser!

My new Blog

Starting from now on I will post on this blog http://www.laurentkempe.com

You might update your reader to use this new rss feed

After almost 7 years spent on weblogs.asp.net I decided that it was time to move my blog to it’s own location. On which I will continue to talk about technical interest I have but also about other things.

Sorry for the annoyance and I hope that you will continue to follow me!

Windows 7, Disk is offline because it has a signature collision

When I switched on today my second hard drive I had the following issue displayed

The disk is offline because it has a signature collision with another disk that is online

4483826563_d4d4d4a9c0_o[1]

Running Diskpart as administrator proved that it was the issue

4483838795_d1c9bdf038_o[1]

As you can see disk 2 and disk 4 both have the 00024A91 signature hence the collision.

Following the advise here, I changed the signature of the drive decreasing from 1 unit.

4484504524_c039b4f771_o[1]

Than I brought back the disk online using Disk Management

And everything went back to normal
