I have an interview

Before they offered me a face-to-face interview they wanted to do a telephone interview first. This consisted of a series of technical questions I really wasn't prepared for ("What's the difference between an inner join and an outer join in SQL?", "What are the restrictions on cookies?", "What do the HTTP status codes 302 and 303 mean?").

But since they offered me the interview I guess I did quite well :)

(On an unrelated note, "Woohoo" is not in the Google spellchecker database but "Whoop" is....)

How inconsiderate

The most distinctive is one I unfortunately I have no evidence of. There was a minibus parked in a disabled parking space. Fair enough; it was probably carrying old people. The bad part is it was so badly parked that it actually blocked four parking spaces!

Anyway here’s a couple of pictures of some rather bad parking (not quite enough space to fit a car in there). It’s tough to know who to blame since we don’t know who parked first, but that white van seems quite far from the white line to the right.

This may become a regular thing… just search Technorati for inconsiderate :)

The graphics are improved and are less cartoony but the whacky sense of humour is still there - whenever you kill a monkey it shouts "Chimpicide!".
