Well, just finished about 40 minutes on the phone with Mark. Seemed like a decent guy, a coder at heart anyway, which was cool. He didn’t balk at the three object oriented funtime words, “polymorphism”, “inheritance”, and “encapulation”. The interview went really well I thought, though they want a C++ person though, so I should […]

Well, the interview went ok, nothing exceptional, but being on the 18th floor was nifty, and there was a lot of nice glass up there, with sexy offices and stuff. The interviewer dude, Ivan, was a nice guy and was even later than I. But before I go on, let me digress into the story

This movie was something like Empire, but…. new. Excited of

Feeling a bit off kilter today. Not sure why. Changing weather or something. Anyway, time for some random rants and explanations of things that piss me off. Ads with little kids in them What is it these days with people using little kids in their advertisement. Sure it’s cute to see a bunch of 4

Much joy lately. My allergies have given me sweet relief, partly due to the rain that fell a couple of days ago. Also, the heat has reached a reasonable level, making the fans we borrowed un-needed. The one night though, they were much needed, and worked perfectly, so much as to force my under the
