Interview Redux

I had my first true, honest-to-god, tech­ni­cal inter­view yet in this entire “find a new job you like” process. I’d already been through an HR screen and a design/analysis phone tech with this com­pany and man­aged to do well enough on those to get invited in for an in-person grilling. I’d been to one of …

The Fun of Job Searching

I’m slowly (and by slowly I mean, not really at all) start­ing to think about look­ing for a job. I’ve been off for almost a month now, I’ve accom­plished quite a few things at home, got some starts on other things that can be con­tin­ued on nights and week­ends, and I gen­er­ally feel like I’m …

[No Title]

That is the result of a long 11 months of nur­tur­ing one sat­suma orange tree. It bloomed in late Jan­u­ary after drop­ping all its leaves, caus­ing me to think it dead. In March, lit­tle green oranges showed up. We lost a cou­ple over the sum­mer but in the end, we got 18 oranges that have …

Thanksgiving Return

Back from Thanks­giv­ing, writ­ing has been at a stand­still because of the hol­i­days and lack of tech­no­log­i­cal type stuff in rural Okla­homa. We ate turkey but not these guys.

Signs of the Apocalypse

The inter­web is a big, big, big, really large, big place, a place where I never cease to be amazed at sites that amaze me. I’ve been surf­ing the web for a long time and I see things that make me queasy, things that make me mad, things that make me go Hmmm but rarely …

Where’d My Writing Vibe Go?

Beats me but the last cou­ple of days have been off-kilter. For one thing, my sleep habits are wack­ing out, not sure why but I’ve been up at 3 the last three or four days includ­ing a 3 hour ses­sion this morn­ing that was actu­ally quite pro­duc­tive. On top of that, I haven’t seen much …

Some People Can Coach, Some Can’t

So San Fran is down by 7 with under two min­utes to go, they have a 4th and 10 on the 28 or so. If they kick a field goal, they still have to score a touch­down to win. As a coach, you have a chance to send a mes­sage to your play­ers that you …

Days 11 and 12

The last two days have been very pro­duc­tive. Today was almost com­pletely focused on the design of the web site, some­thing I strug­gled with a cou­ple of weeks ago. I gave up on doing a col­umn design since CSS doesn’t really sup­port that very well and went with an all hor­i­zon­tal lay­out. It feels cleaner …
