The interview

[davidn]

The interview for the java development position was today, and I think it went quite well. The interviewers seemed reasonably pleased with the presentation on the SSSSS that I gave, along with being far more interested than I had expected in the other areas that I had mentioned on my site. (In fact, one of the coders had an old song of mine on his desktop and had been playing Treasure Tower that morning.) Incidentally - hello to you all if you're reading this.

There was a bit in the middle where I sort of froze up when asked about the methods that I'd learned in Software Engineering, because I could remember hardly any of them, so I'll have to go back and look them up. Otherwise I'm fairly confident. After all, the woman I had been exchanging emails with also went to St Andrews, and that's got to count for something.

I was vastly pleased this evening to discover that I am fully one inch taller than Kai Hansen. Therefore, short people are fantastic.

Sounds like a snaked named it!

Snakes in the programming!

DAVID DID YOU CONSIDER WRITING IT IN PYTHON????

I could have done! Although one of the main Solitaire suites that I was trying to upstage was written in Python, it didn't have quite such a creative name.
