I got offered the contract at Powerset! This is the same job
sarkat's had for a while. I guess no one ever told kellan what company she was contracting for, when it came up before, because when I told him i got it this morning, he said:
"fucking awesome! Powerset is hot! i didn't know you were applying."
Apparently he used to go there thursdays for a Ruby meetup.
I can haz werk! It'll probably take two weeks to get the contract set up, though.
I was getting worried, cause he thought he'd be able to get back to me last Wednesday, and I was planning to send an e-mail this morning, but I didn't have to. I thought the interview had gone mostly well, but I did flub answering the question about what I'd learned in my semantics classes (;P to other UCSC ling undergrads).
Also, what's this new link-y thing going on in livejournals? It seems to be on user generated links, but it doesn't seem to show up on all of them, even allowing for the fact that it doesn't show up on friends-page views of posts, only? on the pages for the posts themselves. Will it show up on
