I blog so others can suffer too.Keep me posting
Yay, I got the Ruby job! Okay, sleeping now-ish.
cool. #parrot step 1 is on my top 10 for traffic at coolnamehere. The difference between spots 1 and 10 is huge, but still. Cool.
Firing off the farewell email to Smith & Tinker. Weird.
Time for #parrot hacking. #in.
Timidly venturing back into the world of IRC.
Look. I can handle the #failwhale. It happens. But why is twitter not showing public tweets from all the people I follow?
Refreshing my Ruby/Rails mojo for today’s interview, as I’ve been in a different land this week (PHP at work, Parrot at home).

Some dats you gotta slide down the railing. It’s important.
Apparently autocorrect has decided I’m a lost cause.
Perl, Ruby, and PHP interviews this week. If I can just add Python, I get the “ADD geek” achievement medal on monster.
Rain and no snow, but at least it’s a bit warmer out.
#parrot 1.9 due tomorrow. Bracing to update babysteps tutorials & pondering a make test for my site.
Oracle committing to #mysql support. I don’t know legalese, but it looks good at least through version 6. http://bit.ly/8n2aVL (via Reddit)
Prepping for 2 interviews today. Both look like good employers. Right now it’s just about the studying to make myself shiny. #in
Snow! 4 flakes, but still - snow!
Facebook should autosave reply drafts for morons like me who hit the wrong button when they mean “send”
Stupid Seattle weather. It’s not snowing on my block.
Ordered new @DanBernHQ cd for Jackie & Natalie. The Internets save Christmas.
Just watched Dexter. Intense episode. Looking forward to the next season.
According to Google Analytics, I’m actually getting hits from people searching for #parrot info. Sweet.
Trying out Google Chrome on OS X. It’s good. Not as overwhelmingly awesome as on Windows & Linux, but good.
M “Pop Muzik” was on KEXP. Tapping my feet and trying not to think about how very old that song is.
What’s this? The possibility of a #perl job? Cool. #in
My wife works at Santa’s Lane and swears yesterday she heard a little girl asking for the nanovor game. Too cute. #in

Annoyed by winter cold. I have lived in the PNW for 24 years. We don’t do seasons.
1st phone screen of the day done, and I think it went well. #in
Perhaps I don’t need all tweets going to LinkedIn. #in

WHOIS knows all. Jeez. My very bad estimate is very bad indeed. coolnamehere’s only been up since May 2000. #in
