So today was my interview with Google. Overall, I feel like I wasn’t nearly up to par. I had a couple of “Oh god, DUH” moments when the interviewer said something about my algorithm(s). I should also learn to start trusting my instincts… my first instinct on one of the problems (floor of sqrt) was right-ish but I tried to over-complicate it, which was actually a worse solution (same runtime, but with much more memory usage).
\nI also screwed up one of the problems which *should* have been straightforward to do.
\nOh well.
\nI really wish I interviewed better. I know the stuff, really… meh.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh has been kinda crazy lately. According to the papers, there’s a highway that motorists have been stuck on since Wednesday evening due to the snow and road closures and everything. The T light rail system also shut down due to freezing rain on the power cables that make it go.
\nOn the plus side, all the freezing rain around makes for some pretty damn nice pictures.

\nAlso on the plus side, I’ve been photographing again. I spent most of last night in the darkroom and studio making images. Whee.<\/p>\n

Housing for next year has more or less been taken care of, so that’s one thing down at least. Now I just wish I could get a job for the summer. Meh.<\/p>\n

OMG workdeath has started. I now have 3 major projects that I’m working on concurrently, plus a photo presentation for Monday, plus an exam in graph theory on Monday. Grrr.
