I will be working at Aster Data,
supporting customers of their huge-database-mining product. I start
Monday.
(Of course this caused at least one other company I was working on
interviewing with to florn. because they have no other candidates for
the position, but after the excitement last year with the Guaranteed
Hire No Really, I am not optimistic enough to let go of this bird right
here in my hand.)
Aster Data is about half an hour by foot from the San Carlos train
station, so my commute will be longish but not horrible.
Visual Entertainments: Started the third disc of
Aquarion. Enh.
Next up, Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki!
Cats:
In the process of putting new laces in my shoes, I discovered that the
old laces are the best Marmalade toys ever! Much better than
plain old string! This might be because it's heavy and sproingy so it
wiggles excitingly, or because the end clicks, or because it's stinky,
or maybe just because it's thick and dark-colored and stands out
dramatically, but in any case, Marmalade is super-fierce with it!.
Writing: Check.
