So I found out a couple evenings ago that I got the internship with Google. I would start sometime in mid-May and finish up sometime in mid-August. It would be good fun though it is mildly disappointing that my friend (Danny) that works for Google wouldn’t be there during the time I’d be there. He’s [...]
So after many failed attempts I finally got a pair of patches committed to wine. You can see them here and here. I’m finding that the more and more I learn about wine, the more and more I get addicted to working on it.
The code, compared to many projects written in C that I’ve seen [...]
Exams are coming up, this probably won’t be fun.
I was browsing my feeds in Google reader and came across this blog entitled “Signs You’re a Crappy Programmer (and don’t know it)”. For the most part I thought it was fairly accurate with the exception of not following the rule of trying to make your functions less than 20 (30/40/10/whatever) lines of code.

Last night I went to my boss’s party titled “Beaujolais Nouveau.” Apparently this is in reference to some French wine, but I’m not a wine drinker and thus I had none and was not interested in it. Overall an interesting night, lots of professors, business people and tech enthusiasts. My boss’s wife is “big on [...]
Well today is the big day. At 16:00 EST I’ll have my first of two phone interviews with Google for a software engineer intern position at Google SMo (Santa Monica for those that don’t speak Googlese). A friend of mine that works at Google SMo was the one that helped me get an interview, and [...]
ncm: Well the main problem with me interning with Aspera is I’m not a third year student, I’m in my second year, granted I’m taking classes that a third year student would be taking. I’m also not comfortable with my skills in TCP/IP protocols yet, network programming is a weak area for me that I’m [...]
So I’ve been hard at work getting myself an internship with a company, preferrably Microsoft or Google. I’m somewhat anxious about the technical interviews that I’ve heard others speak of. I feel confident in my skills and knowledge as a programmer, I just get a little anxious over these things.
For Google I don’t quite know [...]
It would seem this week that everyone is out to get me… Guess thats life. Who wants to take my marine science exam? Any takers? Shouldn’t be hard… guess thats a good reason for me to take it.

On a different note, Algorithms & Data Structs was interesting, lots of probabilities. Hurrah!
bcully: It was a few months ago and I can’t recall exactly what it was that went wrong. I remember using it with Debian Etch 4.0 and having a couple issues. I have since upgraded that server to Testing/Lenny. I haven’t bothered to try it lately since I’ve been moving along with bzr fine. I [...]
