Twiddle, twiddle…

Have you ever had so many ideas and thoughts floating around your brain that you have to sit down and write it out? My brain’s like that right now but I can’t afford the time to actually do it. :( It’s driving me crazy.

Funniest thing, though, is that this kind of thing always seems to happen during midterm/final period. Never during workterms when I have more than enough time to waste on stuff. I always end up starting something only to have it slowly die out (like the anime page). Maybe stress and creativity is somehow wired together in my brain.

I had an interview with Blue Coat Systems/Cacheflow people today - very small office (about 20 people) so I think I’ll really enjoy it there if I got the job. 3 people interviewed for it, so I guess I have 33% chance of getting it. I’ll know in just over 2 hours, I guess. If I don’t get any job for the term, I’d like to take the 4 months off and do…

  • Ask Sanderson for the 5307 coldfire board and try to figure it out (gotta be done sometime anyway)
  • Build some kind of robot - I want to build a balancing, two wheel robot
  • Write a book - beginner’s PHP guide? PHP 5 has some very neat features including built-in SQLlite package - that may make things very interesting… I don’t know if I’d have the technical understanding to actually write something though
  • Figure out a way to make ece324 lecture note graphs better :)
  • Build wireless mp3/internet radio player

Bah, who knows, all this is probably my overactive brain spewing stuff out left and right.

PS. Synergy - one of the coolest little utilities I’ve found in a long while. :D I think this got the biggest Wow! out of me since the Internet Archive.
