IBM Extreme Blue interview secured…

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

I just got an email from Canada’s Extreme Blue staff and they’re looking to schedule a phone interview with me on next Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. Apparently, it’s going to be an hour long and will also require the use of an instant messaging client. I’m not too sure as to what that’s all about just yet, but I’m guessing I might need to maybe type out some code onto it…? Or not…because that sounds kind of retarded now that I think about it. Oh well, I’ll find out soon enough.

One month drawing to its end…

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

As someone that lives by a pretty monotonous lifestyle, it’s always surprising to me just how fast time really flies. Going in a constant loop of going to lectures, hacking on code, and watching Japanese animations really rarely brings up the question of just what day of the week or what date of the month today is. It’s rather pitiful, really. I caught sight of the fact that we’re only a week away from this month’s end and decided to mention it because I figured when it really was February I wouldn’t actually notice it and because I’m sure all my readers are just oh-so-very interested in what crap I’ll be producing in this blog post to top the ones I’ve written in the past.

Anyway, looking ahead at this school term, I’m really primarily concerned over ACTSCI 221 and ECON 102. As looks can be deceiving, this 102 course is actually quite the challenge given the way that the course is structured. The first midterm appears to be thirty multiple choice questions with an allocated time of sixty minutes. You just know it’s going to be rough when you’re given two full minutes to pick between five choices.
