I accepted several LinkedIn contacts from people I never met (virtually or in RL). I'm wondering if it's right...
Shirley Knott?

I get a few as well, especially snorklers!
Hint: check in what branch they are in. Avoid head hunters. And name droppers.

Snorklers?! I beg your pardon! I'm a trained scuba diver!

The invitations were from some nice looking chaps from your network, so I accepted them all :-)

I just got an invitation to connect with somebody whose tag line reads: "I help financial professionals to find their dream woman around their busy schedules."

That's wrong on so many levels, including grammar and usage!

Hey Daniel,

My brother and I started OfferZen because we’d grown frustrated with how the tech job market was operating - there had to be a much more efficient way for developers to find work that’s meaningful to them. Since launching four years ago over 1300 top companies have used OfferZen to hire great tech professionals like yourself.

It would be awesome if you checked out our site. If you decide to sign up, you’ll get interview requests from companies with job specs and salary specified upfront.

It’s completely free to use OfferZen and if you find your next job through OfferZen we’ll send you an epic swag pack to celebrate!

We hope to help you unlock your full potential by helping you find your dream software developer job :).
 
All the best,

You look very young in your profile photo. Try using a photo in a driving gear like mine ;-)

That was no so long ago, in the 1st floor library Shakespeare and Company bookshop facing Notre Dame cathedral.

It would be difficult to drive in the full equipment, indeed. I considered using another selfie, which I took while paragliding, but I came out a bit suicidal in it.

A library. That's extreme.
The library of the oldest operating university in the world, University of Al-Quarawiyyin in African Fez, founded by a woman. Europe needed centuries or even a thousand years to re-discover or translate what's in those manuscripts.

We had universities, books and monks in the 6th century in Ireland until the Vikings came.

I'm sure there's a separate category in the International Classification of Diseases for those who reached for the top shelves. Possibly scoring higher than paragliding.
