I kinda took an extended Easter weekend there. Probably should've logged it, but I didn't.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda... didn't.

No worries.

A while back a head-hunter randomly sent me an email. Not an uncommon occurance, but something that was more interesting now that I'm funemployed. I followed up a while back, talked with him over the phone, and he sent me some emails of some companies I might find interesting. Today I sent him my thoughts on those companies.

The gist: totally willing to try to get a job at any of them.

In my mind it's win-win. On one hand, I probably need the interviewing experience, and on the other hand, I might find a place that I'd really like to work for. I'm just going to go in completely honest and see what happens.

Eventually, an actual interview should be looming over my head and I might take practicing for one more seriously. As it stands, I've barely even cracked "Cracking the Coding Interview". The little bit of productive time I've managed has been devoted to projects. And they're projects I haven't even made properly visible. I'm actively hiding them right now.

I might want to devote some time to public, open-source projects. Maybe even contribute to someone else's open-source project.
