[Trackback URL for this entry] Thu Sep 22 12:55:11 PST waiting is the hardest part:

I'm waiting to hear about a Linux-related job that sounds really cool and I am extremely excited about. I'm also doing my homework for Computer Architecture, which I enjoy. It's fascinating to me how the elementary basics of binary computers are such valuable concepts, because literally everything inside a computer can be boiled down to those basic concepts. I find that learning those basics really assists you in learning at any level in the field. So that's cool.

We've been here in LA for over a month and a half now, and all this time I've been out of work ("on vacation"). I'd like to say that I was squeezing every last drop of life-giving freedom from these days, but when I'm honest about it, I can't really say that I have. Too much time surfing Wikipedia and the web in general, and not enough time making music or writing code. I have gotten a lot of constructive things done however, many projects which have been waiting for months to be picked up again, and I've been able to do a lot of housework and errands so that they didn't swallow our evenings when Anna is back from school. So maybe it's a wash. I'd like to have produced some tangible, important things in this month and a half, but I feel like instead I've produced a lot of intangible, small things. You can't be creative all the time, right? Anyway, that struggle is the story of my life.

Therefore, I'm going to get out of this chair and get my interview clothes ready in case they call.
