Let's hear it!

my first macbook caught on fire in the apple store. :)

Impressive, Trust.

Almost as impressive as how easily frustrated I get randomly. :/

I think a MacBook lighting on fire is an isolated issue.

[Hitmen]

that's just what apple wants you to think

I think it was the first statistics class I have made it to since my midterm. I'm fairly positive I still have an A in that class despite the fact that I have only been to it a handful of times. <3 easy classes with professors who don't take attendance.

A lot of low level psych classes are like that.  It's nothing new.

Interviewed with Microsoft today.  Five technical interviews, each lasting an hour or more.  Ouch.

Heh, thanks.  We'll see.  Apparently five interviews is about the upper bound of what they do.

It was a bit excessive, though.  The questions they asked were all very easy, but they all wanted me to write code on a whiteboard, which is never a clean process.

If anyone here ever interviews with Microsoft, the best advice I can give is know your data structures.  One of the interview questions was best solved using a Trie (26-ary tree where each edge is a letter) or a DAWG (directed acyclic word graph, compressed version of Trie), and two separate interviews involved writing C to do various operations on an n-ary tree.

I'll post (more specifically) the questions they asked and elaborate on the experience if anyone is interested.
