- Postponing work on a c# app. I really ought to sleep, but I have to help out the client. Decisions, decisions. #
- Trying out tweet-r air client – works well on windows, but no air for linux – bummer. #
- working on best practices for BPEL deployment. #
- Crap – I was late for the vanpool. Not too late, but I still hate to make others wait. #

Waiting for baseball practice to end
We are all freezing and so we are all in the excursion singing songs – currently no tears, but they are always only seconds away.
We will wait this one out.
The washingmachine culprit
Right there in the middle is the drain pump filter. Once you pull off three torx screws it is pretty easy to get to. It only caused a minor flood when I opened things up too.
Tons of fun.

I didn’t even realize that our machine even had a filter. These new-fangled machines do it all. I can hardly believe the gunk in there. See how many things you can find… Like a where is waldo or something. And yes, one item is infact a sock.
Oh well, thank goodness for the internet and error codes. Now I know what a Whirlpool Duet is saying when it flashes F-02. It means that a sock was sucked into the draining mechanism and all hope is lost.
Not a great day
Tanner struck out and unfortunately that has been the mantra of the day. He has not done too well. He and Kris got into it a bit and has a splitting headache. It is also freezing.
Oh well, there is always tomorrow. It will be a better day.

- Can’t get a twitter app to run on my linux desktop – Wishing I didn’t have to use twitkit. #
- reviewing resumes for our back office ERP assessment project. I’m a little frustrated with the quality. #

- Heading into an interview with my former boss. I am not quite sure how to spin this. I am excited to see what he has to say. #
- Interview success – well, at least I think it was a success. I had Chris, a VP, SVP, and the person I’d be replacing. #

Initial Interview
Today I got to go up to Overstock and interview with several members of the Oracle team. I interviewed with Chris Mason, a VP, an SVP, and the person I would be replacing. As I reflect on the 4 on 1 I think I did pretty well. I feel that I was able to answer their questions without much difficulty and the only area that I feel I’m a bit lacking in is that they process thousands of orders per hour, whereas Novell processes thousands of orders in a month. It is a huge volume difference. I’d have to come up to speed on it quickly.
After the interview I got the typical… “We are interviewing and evaluating other candidates – we’ll get back to you”. We’ll see how it goes. The commute would certainly be better. 10 miles versus 37 miles. Not that the commute is the only reason for making a change. There are a lot of good things about Overstock and there are good things happening at Novell as well. I’m not sure what I’ll do if they make me an offer. I guess I’ll cross that bridge when it gets a bit closer.
Anyway – It was a nice day. I was supposed to have two interviews, but ended up only with the one at Overstock. Se la vie.
