Nohjay Nimpson is the top seed in this year's Bulltron Regional, named for past NOTY winner Assumption Bulltron. I like Special Jennings, Pamela Balls Organista, and Spartacus Bernstein in the Sithole, Dragonwagon, and Chrotchtangle, respectively.

Because a few people have asked, here is my list of favorite job sites. I posted it here instead of elsewhere so that additional ideas could appear in the comments.

Indeed.com. Just put in a keyword and ZIP code.

Simplyhired.com. Similar interface and content to Indeed.

JuJu.com. Yet another one. Why not? It doesn't cost extra to watch all three sites.

Dice.com. Seems like mostly contracting gigs.

Craigslist. This link is for Cleveland Software jobs, so you might want to find a different city or specialization.

Joel On Software. The fact that a job is posted on JoelOnSoftware says something about it right away.

O'Reilly jobs. Sign up for one of the feeds.

shameless self-promotion (for my OSS project)

I've published a small library I wrote for logging performance in a Spring-based application. It's called beet, it's at http://beet.sourceforge.net. Just mentioning it here since I know a bunch of you do some Java. And yes, I know there are other tools and libraries that do similar things, but all of them suffer from longer names and none of them are written by me. I'll add a "punch my cock" link to the project home page if there's sufficient demand.

Perl code Larry Wall finds impressive

2009-04-03T11:57:00.003-04:00

Larry Wall spoke at Columbia recently. In response to a request for an example of some really impressive Perl code, he referred to the Lingua::Romana::Perligata module. Example usage from the author's page:

#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w

use Lingua::Romana::Perligata;

maximum inquementum tum biguttam egresso scribe.
meo maximo vestibulo perlegamentum da.
da duo tum maximum conscribementa meis listis.

dum listis decapitamentum damentum nexto
    fac sic
        nextum tum novumversum scribe egresso.
        lista sic hoc recidementum nextum cis vannementa da listis.

RIP David Foster Wallace

2008-09-14T15:23:00.004-04:00

I'm not deeply versed in his canon or anything, but I've been greatly affected by what I've come across and was surprised at how bummed I was reflecting on news of his death. Plenty of blogs and newspapers are filling up with eloquent obituaries so please go check a few of them out. The obit on salon gives a good general account of the sort of writer he was, if not an exhaustive survey of his contributions (which would be nearly impossible in a reasonable space, he was so prolific).

Wallace was probably a genius, Infinite Jest making with Ulysses intimidating literary bookends for the 20th century. More than an entertaining writer, he was engaged with the world. He wanted us to reclaim language for communication beyond amusement; he appreciated irony but feared that it was subverting our ability to be brave in making connections with each other. His writing is both rich in craft and a vector for important ideas; it is technically overwhelming and often prodigiously long, but not imprecise, usually hilarious, occasionally profound, and possibly hopeful, as no one would give us anything like that without suspecting that we deserved it. I don't know what he was like as a person, but he was clearly a man of enormous intellectual generosity. It is good news for us that such people can exist at all; and as they are rare it's sad that we have such a hard time keeping them here.

Amazon is Hiring

2008-09-10T17:56:00.002-04:00

Any of you suckers looking to change jobs? My group at Amazon is shaking us down for referrals. You all would be fun to work with again, and I might win a Kindle!
Seriously the place is, so far, an excellent one to work. The attitude is laid back but there's a million things going on. Some really cutting edge technologies, some strange archaic in-house stuff. There's a huge call for Java developers especially right now.
One of the things I love about it so far is that each small team is trusted to use the tools that's right for them, and do the right things so that the company as a whole is run the right way. There's no big cheese manager telling the teams what to use. Think state law instead of federal law. This can also be an issue when each group has their own ways of doing things, of course.

If anyone is interested, let me know.
