I created a filter with just you on it. I made sure that group was selected before typing beyond the first line, and I will also double-check that it’s locked after posting. I will try to make sure there is a suitable tag on the post as well but this may not be 100%.

Travel packing list

I have found out the following about Netli (including just what I was told before signing an NDA): They have been around roughly 5 years and their business is providing speed improvements and local presence for companies dynamic web applications. Think Akamai, but geared to highly dynamic content/apps. Spoke with Michele. Reason I’m looking? Recent layoffs affected people I worked closely with, including several that I had trained. I enjoy my new team as well, but it hasn’t been quite the same since my old co-workers and former boss left. Also, due to reorg, I find myself doing less challenging tasks, and rather than “coast” through this period I would prefer to step up to a newer challenge. Finally, I miss working in a “production” operation; I’m currently working in IT which doesn’t really allow me to use my creativity to make the company more competitive – IT is not SGI’s core competency. I want to feel like I’m working on something that’s important to customers (not just internal customers). ...

I had another gout attack yesterday. Same site, base of left toe. The sequence seems to go something like this: Day 1 (all day): “Hmm, something’s up with my toe, did I bump it on something?” Day 2 (early morning): “SWEET MOTHER OF CHEESES! WHY is my TOE trying to KILL me? Where is the Advil!” Day 3: “OK, that still seriously hurts, but not as bad as yesterday. Advil? Yes please.” ...

Brokeback Galactica Video, 2+ min. Thanks rmjwell for the link.

I created a printed version of this and made a Christmas card out of it for my sweetie. Something for Mommy A Christmas Story starring Bunny, Sophie, Harley and Simon. (Content is rated S/MA for Sappy and Mildly Amusing)

Second Yahoo interview seemed to go well. I’ll post a summary of both interviews later if anyone’s interested. A handful of technical questions, but just as many were about my management style (not really a management position but some project management and leadership/mentoring is expected) and about my prior experiences. A couple of questions like “How would you handle something like X” I answered with “I dealt with something quite similar, and in that situation I did Y.” ...

I think I forgot to post this before, mostly because I didn’t want to get too excited, but I had an interview at Yahoo a couple weeks ago. Tomorrow I have a follow-up interview for the same position. So, think me some good thoughts tomorrow afternoon!
