Productive
Today was pretty productive. I helped Greg set up the webserver at IPO. Migrated the old website over to the new machine without any problems. I rule… woohoo…

Cool
Yeah so no journal entry for a while. I was pissed because I lost a lot of those old journal entries when my server crashed. Also, I’ve been pretty damn busy. I got a car. A used Mazda 626. It’s a 1995 model. Nice – runs well. I need to clean her up though. It’s so convenient now that I have a car. What else? Internship starts on the 16th. Should be fun…

No Luke AFB
I don’t have to go to Luke Airforce Base. Although, that means I threw away my internship for absolutely nothing =(. Well, I’m pretty sure I can get one in the summer. But eitherway, I’m looking for jobs on campus… programming jobs because that’s what I like…

Intel, Lab 9
Just got a call from Intel today. Found out that I’ve been selected for an interview there. I’ll be doing the interview… and if I get both (!) then I’ll have to decide which one I want. It feels good to know that I’ve been selected…
Lab 9 is pretty interesting! It’s gonna be hella hard… but… interesting!

Interview + FreeBSD + 421 = Geek
I had an interview with Motorola on Friday. It went alright I think. I hope I get the job. It’s for an internship in spring. They asked me if I’d be interested in working through summer and fall, and I said yes. They were pretty impressed with my resume, which reminds me… I should update the HTML version. Well, anyway… There were four people interviewing me. Initially I thought it was intimidating. But they started off really well by asking me about stuff I had done… So I felt comfortable right away. They were looking for team experience and C code and Linux. I’ve done all that. One of the interviewers asked me what I used to do my code… what sort of GUI. I said “I use nothing but vi and the commandline”. He’s like “You’re my man! I’ve been waiting for someone to say that! No one else uses the commandline!”. So that was promising. I’ll be happy if I land this position.
I really like FreeBSD. I’ve broken my system a lot of times, but I learn something new each time. Right now it’s pretty neat. I’m having trouble playing DivX stuff and mplayer doesn’t work. I’m still new at all of this, so there’s a HUGE learning curve. Maintaining your own UNIX box is whole lot different from using a UNIX account. The latter helps, the former is a different animal. I like it though.
The assembly program that I’m currently testing and debugging is the most inefficient one to date. I’m too embarassed to say what the size is. Well… as long as it works. I’m insane and I’m planning to take CSE 521 next semester. For the final project, you write an OS for the M68000 microprocessor. I think that’s just kick ass. What a sad life I have…

Work was cool today
I’m writing this from a totally kick-ass system we just installed in the labs! It’s an IBM NetVista computer with wireless keyboard and mouse… the whole setup just looks really SWEET! This is SO AWESOME!!!

Everything Sucks
Work is boring. There is nothing to do. Everything sucks. I have so many things to take care of. I am leaving for training on the 3rd. My roommate Michael might be moving out, so I have to look for a new place. On top of that, my AIT training is 12 weeks… yes 12 WHOLE WEEKS! I’m in MAINTENANCE … GOOD LORD! 12 weeks to learn how to fill out forms? It better be more than that… When I’m done I’d better know how to build a nuclear weapon from sand and grass. Oh yeah, the worst part isn’t done yet. I’ll probably be back after school has started… OH GREAT! Isn’t that LOVELY? I’m taking CSE421 too! I love this! I completely LOVE THIS! Jeez… I hope everything works out… Life sucks. I hate it… Pool party on Wednesday… yaayy! Life still sucks…
