i checked with HR and read my contract and under California law they cannot own code I produce on my own machines in my own time. I checked. but still-- something in my gut feels a little dirty about this. as if, this time should somehow be the company's. if i'm going to be at a computer doing some sort of software design and implementation, it should be for the company. the company, the company, the goddamn company. then again, don't i do enough? this ain't france, man. i'm not working a 35 hour week. not even in that neighborhood. i developed the world's first something a few month's back. i read that fact in a press release we issued the other week. i guess this isn't really a huge deal, it happens all the time-- but it is a little strange to see the PR spin placed on something i designed and mostly implemented by myself in a couple cold, dark months in a far away land. goddamn company. |
m. le pen will fix those lazy french. |
|
whatever. i don't want to go into detail because i'm not really keen on associating my name with my company in an obvious way on this board. it has to do with natural language processing of email, though. |
|
also: fuck the french. |
|
|
|
natural language processing of email sounds like something that could be useful for spies. |

If you read the question again, you should see that I am asking him what his moonlighting project is, not what moonlighting project means. LS |

I still haven't heard back from LucasArts. It's been just about as long as it took for them to get back to be as last year. They said we'd know by the end of April. It's almost the end of April. I hope I make it to the interview stage. That would be awesome. I'm reading on how to design a scripting language in C++. It's very similar to what we are doing in my Declarative Programming Topics class, only we use Scheme in there. Lots of parenthesis and such. I'd be getting a better grade if I cared about the language. I need to spend more of my "moonlight" hours reading more programming and game development things. My friend is letting me borrow his scriptwriting book. I really want to read that so I can get a better idea on story pacing and other aspects of plot design. I'm rooming with a couple other CS majors next semester, and one of them hacks games and things for fun. Apparently he and another guy just hacked some game so that it contacts a server to upload it's high score file. The server will merge that high score list into the master list, and then return it. I'm hoping they will keep me going on game stuff next semester. I hear those game hackers actually get hired. But I hope you get that db job. Less time for you, but $25k is probably quite worth it. An incentive to go home on time, eh? Anywhoooo... I told myself today I would stop Sorabjing it up during class. I guess that didn't last long. LS |
he needs an incentive to go home on time and that incentive is money ho hum |
it looks like rain. |

i am not pathetic sarcastic lame, maybe but not pathetic. fuck fuck fuck. |
|
it's ok heather. |
|
|
sem, you never go to detroit, you always go to the UP, that's why i didn't ask. if you can be in detroit, well shit, by all means... ! |
|
also, Bruce Willis is the sexiest man alive. |
|
I was actually question marking the two entries above mine, Heather and Sarah, becuase it seemed weird. And I can make it to Detroit in three hours. I always go to the UP because the UP is better. |
|
it seemed weird because you aren't a girl and you don't understand. so anyway, come to detroit for labor day weekend or something. |
not in context to the comments above it. Labor day? Ok. |
Whoops. Out of context. LS |
|
Ah. Hmm. er.... nah. |
sigh. LS |
