Phone Interview

Just did a phone interview for a potential job. Was a bit surprised about it, thought it would just be a brief chat about some basics with the intention of leading on to a normal interview. But it was a full interview with 2 blokes.

Still did my best. Emphasised the importance of the databases in the department. Answered their questions regarding their requirements.

It is a bit of a stretch away but it's a job & a good one to crossover into SQL Server so fingers crossed.

Zim QOTD

- "BUUUUURRRRRRIIIIITOOOOOS!!!!"

L33t Quiz

Bit of a geeky quiz here to see how sharp people are with their l33t speak. I'll admit, I've cheated & used a translator but see if you can translate this phrase without one:

"I7 w4z 73h b357 0f 7im3z, i7 w4z 73h w0r57 0f 7im35"

Gold star for the first to get it!

Zim DVDs

Finally got through nephster13's Region 1 DVDs. Was a bit worried for a while as the MPEGs were playing back strangely, hopping all over the place. Turned out it was Windows Media Player & the codec I was using. Just used WinDVD & they worked fine.

30.3GB in all. Now that's a spicy meatball. Will have to move on to encoding them next. At least I can give the DVDs back.

Zim QOTD

- "One wormhole would have spat you out into a dimension of pure itching. You can’t really tell, but that stuff is really itchy."

Drifted around town on Saturday for a bit. lady_bastet got a cool red wig which went down well at Dominion.

ickle_tayto, paddywisha & hizhnik were taking the reigns for the night. All went well with varied stuff from everyone. Must ask about giving the DJing a go again.

Busy uploading various photos atm.

Top 3 Bands

I'm normally crap at answering these questions (lady_bastet is always pitching them to me) but what are people's top 3 favourite bands. Mine are (in no particular order)

Siouxie And The Banshees
Apoptygma Berzerk
The Cure

(bit odd I know having APB between 2 trad bands but that's me)

IFI: Immediate Flatulence Initiation

Gutenabend, meine Freunde.

Popped into IFI again this evening & hooked up with a good few people. Poor lady_bastet couldn't make it, her tummy was at her again.

Food was tasty as usual & the usual yap was partaken in. Experimented with the assistance of gothicfurby, with the settings of my camera to stop forewarning people of forthcoming photos. Sneak attack!!! As a result, quite a few pics taken, albeit a lot of duplicates. Few from John Y's gig too.
