2015.05.07 – PLUG

Today I got an email from another place I sent a code challenge and they liked it enough to fly someone out to interview me next week. I kinda knew they would like my submission because I know I did a great job with it. That isn’t enough to translate to a job though because I have to figure out how to get over the nervous panic that is just sitting there under the surface during interviews or I’m going to blow it every time. If I could go in with a “this is simply practice” attitude that would help me but I can’t do that when it’s not true! On the up side I only have a week to stress about it.

I spent most of the day paying bills and working on my Mozilla bug. I really didn’t want to ask Andrew for help if at all possible so I tried changing things to see what would happen. I did that until it was time to head to the monthly PLUG meeting. Tonight Michael Dexter was talking about block storage. It was actually really interesting! We stuck around and talked with people afterward and made it home for a very late dinner of leftovers.

Today I learned that hardware raid is dead, dead, dead, and about GPT vs MBR.
