You’ve probably heard of LinkedIn<\/a>, I have been thinking of signing up for some time but always postponed it. Finally I decided to give it a go, like many of these Internet services it’s real easy to register and get started, most people can do it in minutes. Of course the registration process was beyond me.<\/p>\n

The idea with LinkedIn is to connect people and make them network, this has been happening in the real world for ages. For example last week I saw that the toilet in my basement was leaking, shortly afterwards the water in the shower next to it started to rise. It got ugly in a hurry, in fact I think I know where they got the inspiration for the movie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Working with Cisco they keep telling me that it’s like network plumbing, but I assure you there plumbing and there’s plumbing<\/em>. After doing some basic troubleshooting it was time to call in the cavalry, but alas I had never hired a plumber and didn’t know\u00c2\u00a0 how to find a good one (one that I could trust).<\/p>\n

To the rescue comes a neighbor, after talking with him he picks up his cell phone and calls a friend of his who works in the field. Now my plumbing problems are gone and this is an offline example of what LinkedIn can do, networking<\/em>. Better yet when the plumber heard that I work as a network consultant he was interested in my services!<\/p>\n

It all sounds great however, there’s no username that matches with that password<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hm, that’s strange I just created the account. I figured something went wrong so I reset my password, still no dice. Mind you I don’t panic at this stage; I’m used to having problems registering different accounts. First I remove the funky characters from my password and try again.<\/p>\n

The site is still unaware of my username and password. My next bet is the length of the password since I can’t very well view the internal code of the site I have to settle for the html code I can see;<\/p>\n

input id=”session_password#login” type=”password” size=”24″ name=”session_password”<\/strong><\/p>\n

My password was 22 characters, I shouldn’t be having a problem but the search continues. On the password reset page I see this code instead:<\/p>\n

input type=”password” name=”new_password” value=”” id=”new_password#newPassword#passwordReset” size=”16″ maxlength=”16″<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aha, maximum password length = 16. I don’t think too many people have this problem, however if my password is too long please tell me!<\/p>\n

Anyway, now I’m LinkedIn, and here is my public profile<\/a>.<\/p>\n
