Here at Pelco, we use a not-to-be-named source control product. During the normal course of development, I decided to create a branch on a freshly imported source tree. I pressed "OK" to kick off the branch creation, and our source control server promptly died. Here's a little snippet of the ...

I am told that I should update my blog. In fact, I believe a one Lyle Kozloff has told me this. So, to you Lyle, I dedicate this blog entry.
Work is good - and enjoyable most of the time. I'm doing some J2EE stuff now, which is kind of a ...

Been working longer hours... 52 hours this week - but I got a ton of stuff done. I think I may have exceeded expectations a bit, at least when it comes to the breadth of what I know. I'm not a "typical" college grad; I paired my college education with ...

Do you find it ironic for a company whose corporate restauarant serves freedom fries and freedom toast to:

My 2-week rest and relaxation is about to come to a screetching halt tomorrow. None too soon, I expect. I've had a good two weeks to settle in (and realize I need more furniture!) and unwind from school. Things have started to set in: I'm done with school, I live ...

A few weeks ago, Sarah and I had a bit of a row about my presence on Valentine's day, or lack thereof. In a nutshell, a few things happened that caused my weekend before this infamous "holiday" to sink in a sea of transistors. Oh well. Not to be counted ...

I think I may have developed a strange fondness for Theakston's Old Peculier (the spelling is correct).
I also had a Budweiser... ugh. Had to get it out of the way (spot #4) on my new Spike's card. Doubt I'll finish it before I get the hell out of town, ...

I now have a respectable offer from Pelco. I need some info from them before I can agree to the offer.
Microsoft also turned me down today. I believe the interview process went well, and I think I have the skills to do what they're asking, but alas. There were 2 ...

Greetings from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
I'm on my way back to San Luis Obispo, but I have been delayed due to heavy fog in San Francisco. I had a good day at Microsoft yesterday, with 6 interviews of ~1 hour each starting at 9:30 and ending at 17:30. 1 interview was ...
