Oof. It's been a while. Over a month, in fact. Bad me, I suppose. I promised myself I'd keep this thing more up-to-date.
Old News:
I suppose part of my delay was wanting to wait to update my
diary until I had an answer to my job situation. A friend
of mine was wanting resumes from his friends so he could nab
some cool people to work with up in Indy. I dropped him my
resume, went through an interview, and got a job offer a
few weeks later. Whoohoo!
Well, not whoohoo. After being repeatedly lied to by the person who was going to be my boss, and over a week of unreturned phone calls and voicemail messages, I'm decided better off not having to deal with that mess anymore. Too much stress and no real reward to speak of, except perhaps a slightly slimy feeling from having had contact with such evil. Bleh.
Good News:
Three paycheck month this month! Whoohoo! I get to kill off
one of my two college loans as a result, which is a Good
Thing.
Last night I dropped by the mall last night and picked up a few things. Final Fantasy IX as out, was cheap (wow, now that PS2 is out there, the original PSX games have dropped nicely in price), and looked pretty cool, so I picked it up. So far from my first five minutes or so of playing it, the gameplay's much smoother than than anything previous.
I also picked up a pair of DVDs for my collection: Titan AE and Tombstone (yes, yes, I know, I know. DVDs bad. CSS sucks. Set DeCSS free, etc... As Doc Holiday says in Tombstone: "It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds.").
Saw Red Planet last weekend. Mediocre movie, but decent "Sci-Fi Flick". The zero-g fires were done beautifully, and Carrie-Anne Moss in the shower is always a nice treat. The zero-g physics overall was done quite well, including the handling of large masses in motion.
Work-Stuff:
I've got most of spinwebd wrapped up. Working on putting
together a command-line client at the moment, which I don't
think I'll package with the daemon. The command-line client
needs to interact with some of our internal-only modules,
and my goal is to get it working here at work first, in the
general world at-large second. A 'generic' client is
definitely in the works though, as suso
wants/needs one. :)
