Why do companies continually forget my e-mail settings, and decide that I did indeed opt-in to their "directed mailings."
It's not a very nice thing to do to your customers
Dear Diary, I got my job.
Stopping for a break, I staggered into a gas station bathroom somewhere near Mt. Saint Helens. The bathroom walls were bare, save one out of place decoration added by an individual with a broad purple marker. It made me smile.

Perhaps someone else out there will find this inked quip and add their own words.
This diary entry contained a comic I created. Then I decided to change the past.
Watch for me in the 2006 olympics: Speed Skating

I may look like a dork, but I did stick that landing.
These past few days, I rewrote all MacTCP related code in ShadowIRC to use BSD sockets, so it could be ported to OS X. http://public.boredom.org/~swift/images/shadowirc.jpg
Yesterday I added support for /proc/pid/maps to linprocfs in -CURRENT. It took me a while to get a new -CURRENT machine up, but I did manage to throw something together. A PPro 180, 40 megs of ram, a 10 gig laptop drive held down by a zip tie. Came out of my iBook. Aren't I a lucky devil.
I don't know what's up with this job I want at Apple. I'm very concerned that I won't get it. The fact is, I need a job. I can't convince myself to take something below my skill set - I know I'll be bored out of my mind in a day. I also know that I'd LOVE this position at Apple, and what's more, I'd be a wonderful addition to their team of developers. I'm cute, sweet, I have a nice smile, I follow style(9) to the letter. What's not to love? :o)
Do not reuse code from this solution, you'll regret
it.
void main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *string = (argv[1] ? strdup(argv[1]) :
strdup("This is a very long
test string")), *p = string, *e = string, *s;
}
while(*p != '\0')
{
while(*p != ' ' && *p != '\0')
}
p++;
s = p--;
while(p > e)
*e ^= *p ^= *e++ ^= *p--;
p = s;
e = ++p;
printf("%s\n", string);
