Flying to job interview

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Haha, interviews with Dept of Defense. Not CIA. They went well, thanks. I like your new sig, Trask :D
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

Ha, what can I say. I always found it so amusing that no matter what came out, the first thing 'hardcore' geeks had to do is install Linux on the darn thing. "Yeah! I just got a Nintendo Wii! Now I installed Linux over its default OS so now I have yet another computer that can't play video games, whooooo!"

So yeah, Mar's comments were hilarious, plus I could see Falco porting ES to my bowl of cereal if he's left alone long enough.

Congrats on the interview(s) Mar, any idea what you would actually be working on if they take you?

Dear god, they actually ported ES to a piece of celery!

I don't think I can tell you, I've been asked to be discreet regarding specifics. :)

I hear it's something about the chickens invading earth.
