General things I find of interest.

Locked out

Well, this weekend I went to my office to get a few things done. When I left my office to get something to eat, I shut the door behind me and realized that I had locked myself out. So… I called UPD, and they told me that they could not let me in unless it was a police or fire emergency. I then just resigned myself to just walking home and getting back in on Monday.

Interview

Well, today I had an interview with Microsoft. I can’t say that MS is high on my list of places to work, but there is no harm in working for them. I was given two puzzles to solve while I was there. A friend said that it would not be a good idea for me to present the solutions, but I can’t pass up presenting the problems themselves. Write a function that when given a linked list returns a list with every group of 3 (or n) elements in reverse.

Is Valentine's Day too commercial?

When I was helping a student move a computer on Valentine’s Day, she asked if I was doing anything special for the day. I mentioned that I generally hate Valentine’s Day, and she asked if it was because of having to go out of buy something. Well, those who know me know that this is certainly not the case in my situation, simply because there is no one to give anything to.

.Mac is not worth it

OK, I was listening to the MacCast and heard a review of iWeb which is part of iLife ‘06. This reminded me that I need to go on .mac rant, as I promised before: Introduction I have had my .mac account for quite some time now. I had it back when it was free (and called iTools), and continued to use it when it was no longer free. I was content to pay for it at the time since I was reluctant to lose my mac.

More Moving

Well, Still moving things to this site… I just moved over the Poetry section. If you look really closely, you will see that the font has changed for my posts ;). I went through and cleaned up the horrible HTML code that was generated by my last software and survived the import here. It should be all cleaned up by now. Well, today I went to the Superbowl party hosted by BCS GAP(Bryan-College Station Graduates and Professionals) and Aggie Christian Grads.
