Notes: After an extended job search, I recently gave up software consulting and moved from Nova Scotia to Vancouver, British Columbia to take a perm job with a wonderful software company. But the catch is that my wife is remaining behind until she graduates from art school. Read all about it in The Vancouver Diaries.

Besides writing programming tips, some of which are offered under Creative Commons license, I also play piano, and offer free music downloads, also under a Creative Commons license. If you live in Nova Scotia, check my concert schedule from time to time, and maybe you can catch a live performance. You can buy my compact disc at my performances.

I also wrote a popular article about free music downloads offered by many other independent artists.

Will Write Code For Food

I'm looking for a job in Silicon Valley.

I have twenty-two years experience as a software engineer. I am particularly good at C, C++, Objective-C and various assembly codes.

I have extensive Macintosh experience, not just Carbon and Cocoa user interface but also Mac OS X IOKit device drivers, and a fair amount of embedded experience as well.

Most of my driver work has been for storage using a variety of technologies: PCIe hardware RAID, FireWire/SBP-2, USB and iSCSI.

I've been running Linux since 1994, and these days have a Core 2 Quad Xeon box that runs Fedora. I have done a little Linux driver work as well.

I'll accept both contract our perm positions, and am available immediately.

Find me a job and I'll name my firstborn after you. :-D

Thanks for your help! -- Mike

Looking for a Job in Silicon Valley

I'm looking for a job as a Senior Software Engineer. I am no longer self-employed, but am looking for a perm job. I will take a contract to tide me over until I can find one, but only on a W-2 basis.

I have twenty-one years experience, twelve of them spent coding in C++.

Other strengths include Mac OS X (both UI and drivers, known in Mac-land as kernel extensions), Linux (userspace), embedded systems (mostly FireWire and storage), and various assembly codes.

I am one of the very best there is at low-level debugging.

You could really help me out if you forwarded the link to my cover letter or resume to anyone who might be interested. Perhaps you could get yourself a nice referral bonus.

Thanks! -- Mike

Attention iPhone Infidels!
or, Music That's Free as in Freedom
or, Pimpin' My Wares at the WWDC

If you're at the Apple World Wide Developer Conference in San Francisco this week, track me down and I'll give you a free CD of my album Geometric Visions: The Rough Draft. Autographed!

It has the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license

While quantities are limited, I don't want to bring any back home with me for want of takers.

If you can't make it to the conference, send your snail mail address to support@oggfrog.com and I'll be happy to mail you one. I'll send it anywhere in the world that the US hasn't embargoed.

If you want to arrange to meet up at the conference, email me at mdcrawford at gmail dot com. (It's hard to check my Ogg Frog mail when I'm away from my own computer.)

I expect I'll be wearing my Tilley Hat, but I have since grown a goatee (no moustache though; it's my experimentation with hipness.):

5237 Stevens Creek Blvd
Santa Clara, California

Map

- Take the Lawrence Expressway / Stevens Creek Exit from Highway 280

Admission Free - All Ages.

Geometric Visions Album Cover

I expect to play there most Thursdays from now on, and will soon start playing more widely around the San Francisco Bay Area as well as in Santa Cruz.

Can't make it? Watch my live performance schedule for future show dates.

I'm gonna be up late burning cds tonight. I left the last batch with Bonita to give out at her school.

I've been practicing every day, and will have a new song to play. I'm also learning another new one that I should be able to play in a week or two.

I have a couple friends up in Berkeley, so I'll be looking for an open mic up there so they can come hear me play.

Open Mic Rescheduled

My appearance that I announced in my previous diary has been rescheduled from Wednesday to Thursday, January 31st. I found this out by visiting the venue - their website still has the incorrect date.

(I updated my previous diary to have the correct date.)

I expect to play Open Mics about once a week from now on, and will occassionally travel to other cities to play them. Keep up-to-date on my appearances by watching my live performance schedule.

All of my music is Creative Commons-licensed. You can download it here. Sheet music too, if you play piano.
