Mastering the Cleanse

I'm going to be trying my first Master Cleanse here in a day or two. Except for the occasional date, now is a good time for me to try it. It also jives with my general program of avoiding allergy-causing foods and saving money on food this week, which was very expensive up-front. I'm going to try for a five-day cleanse the first time. If it works out well, I may make it a regular thing, perhaps every three to six months or so.

I also got two callbacks from resumes I sent out today, and I'll be calling back the first prospect tomorrow. The company actually looks both really cool and like a place where my skills and interests will be appreciated. If I could land a 6-month contract, I could raise enough money to pay for at least a year of living, which would really help my fledgling freelancing work.

Yay for interview!

About five minutes before my technical interview for a job I'm looking at, I decided to engage in some judicious cyber-stalking to get some background on my interviewer.

It turns out, in a company large enough to have a separate HR department, he's the CEO.

Not information I needed right that point in time. :)

However, I think I did very well. There was only one question I didn't know the answer of off the top of my head, but with minimal hinting, I think I managed to manufacture a suitable answer. The other five or six I got pretty easily, which was a relief. With technical interviews, you never know when the person will ask something about a feature of a language you programmed in for 20 years that you haven't used in ten. This time, it was all relevant.
