Interesting email in my inbox this evening. While I was sleeping, I received a message from the manager of the Yahoo NOC Tier 2 group, who found my resume on HotJobs (a Yahoo site) and wanted to know if I would be interested in interviewing for a position with his group. I replied back with …

Death of a Swordfish and Other News
My three year-old laptop, Swordfish, finally croaked this weekend when the hard drive marked itself nearly 50% bad and then Windows told me to grab what I could and get the fuck out of Dodge, because it was about to burn down. Luckily, I noticed the hard drive getting slower and slower before the warning …

First Day on the Job… post-game wrap
This was posted after a three hour nap. My first day was weird at first, because working for a start-up is a seriously fucked-up method of returning to work after a four month period of not working. Honestly, I quit my job on September 30th of last year and on January 30th of this year …

First day on the job…
So, here I am, sitting in my cubical at Transera. I’ve been here for nearly three hours and most of what I’ve done so far is assemble my brand-new desktop machine, install my own VoIP phone, and request supplies and equipment from the group executive assistant. My new boss has given me something of a …

New Phone, New Job, New Life

A link and some more work shit…

If you’re a baseball fan, or a baseball historian (which I would hope precludes the former), go there now and absorb. Awesome site. Secondly, I spoke with my boss at length about the future. He wants to make me his …

Thoughts Post-Move
Hmm. The move is finally over. This morning at 0800 PDT, the new Mountain View facility will open its doors to the rest of the employees of the company. Then the chaos begins. Even though the IT department may feel that the building is good to go, we’re actually going to see how good we …

A Pepsi and two Hot Chocolates later…
Mountain View is a great place to be hungry or thirsty in. Unlike the previous area I was in, it was a fucking desolate region. You had to drive into East Palo Alto or downtown Palo Alto or Mountain View’s north side in order to get something to eat. The only offset to not being …

Sic Transit Cochrane
Update from the previous entry: I took my midterm. I’m not one hundred percent certain I passed. To be honest, I felt unprepared, however, my professor is a kind professor and will allow me the opportunity to prove that I did learn the material at a later date. And now, on to the new entry… …

The Night Before the Carnival
Before I begin this entry, I’d like to thank Tenchi Muyo for the title. Tomorrow, or actually, since this entry is taking place after 0000 hours, TODAY I undergo the first of two midterms. Tomorrow is the second part, but even so, midterms back to back is kind of scary for someone like me, who …
