Obligatory Blog Check-In 060930

Last day of September (!). It’s late and I’m not going to write a lot. I’ve progressed well with my preparations today. It was a bit of a mixed bag but I’ve managed to create some suggestions, and also a diagram regarding ‘how to take the company forward’. Well, some ideas anyway
So, overall [...]

2nd Interview Preparations

Just preparing for the 2nd interview today, and probably also tomorrow. I don’t really know how to prepare for it (as in: what I am supposed to do) so I’m going to do some research on the generic definitions surrounding the 2nd interview. Apart from that, I’m going to make up my own plan, and [...]

Ode to Arthur’s Seat (Controversial)

If I was raped on Arthur’s seat
I would say ‘Go Ahead’
I’d look the man right up and doon
And lie down on my bed
My bed of grass, of sullen rocks,
Of sun and wind and sky
Embrace all I’ve come here to find
Your giant strength, och aye.

How to Do a Telephone Interview

I’ve changed my default category to Daily Life (I think I’ve mentioned this before..). Lots of things happened over the last few days, well, not quite - I had a telephone interview which I thought didn’t go too well but I was subsequently invited for a second interview. Just goes to show that you [...]

Job Hunting is Like Having a Teenage Crush

I thought about this yesterday, when I got another interview. The initial excitement you experience when getting an interview is similar to having a teenage crush. The feelings towards the job on offer are similar in that you think ‘it’s the perfect candidate for me’!.
When I was a teenager, I had a lot of crushes [...]

Social Networking - First Impressions of orkut

Today I’m going to share my first impressions of orkut, Google’s social networking effort. This is based on a few days of usage, creation of my profile, and some research on orkut (though not a lot). It’s not meant as a complete review. To be honest, at the moment it’s not worthy of any in-depth [...]

The Wife-Beater Has Returned

Today, a slice of real life. The Wife-Beater Has Returned.
Underneath me lives P. with her daughter E. P. is 29 years old and a single mum. About a month after I moved here, I heard some noise downstairs. It sounded as if someone or some furniture was knocked about. Quite loud, and a lot of [...]

All those Google Apps…

Lately, I’ve been playing around with the personalised homepage of Google. You can add loads of little applications to it and then move them around (drag and drop) until they are where you want them. It’s quite cute but still seems a bit buggy. For example, sometimes it displays the information of the added apps [...]

Tired, Knackered, and Exhausted

Yup, I’m still T, K, and E. I haven’t had time all day to write anything here. I wish I could sort out the Time Stamp Issue and also, the thing whereby only the first paragraph of each post is displayed on the first page. In fact I have tried setting the latter but to [...]
