Also today I got a call from Google office in Dublin – I am flying there next Thursday, stay at a hotel overnight and then there will be an on-site interview on Friday afternoon and on Saturday I will be on my way back home.Looking forward to that challenge.

A quick note to those few people that read this blog and have at least a remote chance of bouncing into me in Real Life – I have shaved my mustache.Yes. Really. No, I am not kidding you. I am perfectly aware that this is the first time I’ve done it in my entire life.Anyway, [...]
