< hopes that reference to the interview's length isn't a reflection on how it went. Either way, how did it go?

< thinks it went fairly well despite how short it was
It was mostly < explaining what < did at uni when it came to games and going through the game < made for them
< didn't really answer too shortly for the questions it was more like they hardly asked any compared to past interviews

< just realised Megatron's name is an oxymoron, "mega" meaning very big and "tron" being the suffix of a subatomic particle...

< thought -tron was related to charge, not necessarily size. As in cyclotrons and synchrocyclotrons.

Maybe you're right, though < thought the idea of -tron denoting charge came from the end of "electron", while originally the -tron in electron denoted a subatomic particle (for example the neutron has no charge yet ends with -tron) so <'d have thought the idea that -tron denotes charge was a bit of a misnomer. < guesses the -tron in "cyclotron" is in reference to it being a subatomic particle accelerator, rather than reference to the charge of the particles

Well, you're going further back there. "Electron" is just the Greek word for "amber", and "neutron" is "neuter" with the "-on" suffix, which funnily enough formed neuter nouns/adjectives. But now < has looked it up apparently the "-on" in this case is just a subatomic particle thing, by analogy with "proton" and "electron".

The electives < chose for the upcoming school year are music based; Guitar I which teaches the basics of playing the guitar (acoustic for <) and Music of the World which teaches music from different cultures as well as learning to read music, specifically sheet music.

< hasn't experienced connection issues either.
< will look into it nonetheless.

< thanks ^, <'s been getting it too lately.

<'s school day ended early

RPC seems to be behaving for < now, < isn't sure if ^^^ has done anything yet, but <'s pretty happy to have it ended.

< finds it too hot here and thinking of < is likely to die when in Italy and if I pass that the US

Because < is a glutton for punishment < decided to write a threaded program in Python today.

RPC seems to load normally again for < too. Thank you Hunch if you fixed it!

It has always worked for <.

< will be going out with <'s buddies later tonight. Better take a shower soon!

The usual. Optical simulations. < was sick of them taking so long when < is running them on an eight-thread machine, so < decided to add some parallellism as part of a broader rework of the methodology of the simulation program.

Ah yes < has worked with threading before but with C++
< is amazed Python can support parallelism too

< is past the point of being surprised Python can do anything. Which is why < still grudgingly uses it… But if < were writing <'s own programs from scratch they'd probably be in Perl.
< also broke a mug today.
