Ho hum.
No word from Google yet, and it's now a week after the interviews. I've sent an email, so hopefully I'll hear tomorrow. The waiting game is getting me a little stressed though, mostly because I can't help but think that if I'm successful they would let me know right away. Argh.
I've come to the conclusion that I'm useless doing the things I "keep meaning to do". One of my 101 items is to write a blog post about every item I completed. Having completed two items, I should have written two blog posts. But I haven't. And I keep meaning to but, somehow, never get around to it. So here they are! (Except, in one post. This one.)
First off, I got myself a shiny new camera a few weeks back. It's a black Fujifilm Finepix F50fd. It's very awesome, although the 12MP miiiiiiiight be a little bit of an overkill; I find myself using 6MP most of the time, with excellent results. It's nice and compact too, a great camera to keep around at all times. I'm hoping to start the Project365 thing (a photo every day for a year) on my birthday, so this'll be useful.
Once I've started using it properly I'll try and post something of a review, and although it'll be far from an expert opinion, it might give some indication of the how the camera is for an ordinary guy.
The other item that I've finished was to visit Roh in Edinburgh before she leaves for India. I went up to Edinburgh for the weekend of the 23rd/24th Feb, and spent a few days with Tim, Bekah, Roh and Camilla (meeting Camilla for the first time). Quite an excellent few days they were too. After a 10hr coach journey on the Friday (during which I realised that I had cleverly forgotten to pack a book) we spent the evening drinking red wine and playing Once Upon A Time. Saturday was Rugby day, iirc, followed by wine and cheese. And intense discussions on feminism. Until 6am.
On Sunday, Tim, Bekah and I went to an art exhibition, and generally took it slow. Then there was pubbage in one of the most awesome pubs I've ever been in... loads of funky decorations and old memorabilia. One item that sticks in my mind was a guest book from the turn of the century, where people had left loads of comments. 'Twas quite awesome.
On Monday, I met up with Roh and Camilla at the Brass Monkey, a very cool pub that shows cult movies every day at 3pm in a room that reminded me strongly of some sort of turkish hookah bar. The floor was covered in carpet and cushions, with knee high tables, and everyone was sat/sprawled on the cushions in quite a decadent fashion. Most enjoyable, really, and we spent quite a while there, during which time Tim and Bekah joined us. Eventually we wandered off to a Wetherspoons for some good old fashioned pub food, after which I got on a coach and headed off back to London. The coach journey really wasn't all that much fun; Despite sleeping through most of the journey up to Scotland, for some reason I just couldn't sleep heading back down.
Et voila. Now to continue playing that waiting game...
