Hello everyone and happy new year !
We just got back from our trip to Europe over christmas and even though we’re happy to be back and leave this cold weather behind, it just got replaced with rain and storm. What is wrong with the planet these days !?!?
Anyhow, after a complete fuck up from Intertrust about my trip to CES, I ended up staying here and not go to Las Vegas (which is fine given my jetlag at the time and the no-surprise-no-excitment of the show this year).
I am now completely overwhelmed with learning too many things in too little time. For example, I realized I cannot be a true hacker without knowing linux so I am now running a dual boot on my laptop with XP and Fedora. God this is hard! Additionnally, I have to learn Java and Eclipse. Soon I’ll be able to rewrite the Rhapsody server ;-) AHAH.
Seriously, I am surrounded by very smart people and I feel like an idiot all the time. I feel the pressure to prove myself and this is something I haven’t felt in a long time. I guess it’s good but it’s frightening.
I met with Adam also over the holidays and he’s looking for a job so I got him to apply at Intertrust .. we’ll see where it goes but that would be nice to work with him again.
Got to go back to learning java! Will post more later….
