Random Raves VIII: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

[choxorn]

Hey, Tim Geithner, did you really play frisbee with Bigfoot?

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Well, I am back from my honeymoon. I am now married!

 

[Nylan]

Well, I am back from my honeymoon. I am now married!

We've been waiting for you.

 

[aronnax]

[Zack]

Coincidence?

 

[Ulyaoth]

I'm happy to know I can still get picked off as being a New Yorker by my accent alone. I'd thought tv and whatnot had killed the accent.

 

[QuoVadisNation]

Congrats for the newlywed.

Me? Well... 1) it looks like I'm going to New Orleans again, 2) got a very part-time job for the fall in New Orleans doing tax law, 3) am in top 30% of my class. It's not good enough for law review but frankly I don't think I would have it in me anyway. 4) it looks like I have connections in both Orleans and New Jersey, and 5) law school now seems like a stable vocational idea. Even though I still think anyone who goes to law school straight from undergrad is a bona fide lemming that's walking off a possibly certain cliff of financial debt hell with ego as the bait.

 

[Bratmon]

I won solitare. I've been trying all week.

 

[Sashie VII]

The jobhunt has just begun, and I already have one interview coming up this Friday! Can't wait to send the rest of my prepared applications!

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I stayed up all night watching movies on my friend's iPod Touch

 

[QuoVadisNation]

I'm moving in with a female roommate in a week. She seems like a cool girl who I have a lot in common with. I just hope this all doesn't get all weird or complicated - me being male and all.

 

[Kozmos]

You know it will, sooner or later

Pray she's already involved somehow.

 

[Zack]

I'm moving in with a female roommate in a week.

Couldn't resist.

 

[Sashie VII]

My first real interview went very well, and I fancy my chances getting this job. Can't wait for the next interview!

Graduating! Woohoo

 

[Integral]

Congrats Sashie! The interview phase is usually pretty rough; sounds like you're getting through pretty well, though!

Stata 11 is here and working on my computer! Features:
- (Finally, finally, finally) proper native text editor with syntax highlighting, code folding, etc. (worth the upgrade cost by itself)
- built-in handling for object oriented programming, should you ever need it
- Native support for interaction terms in multiple regression (sorely needed)
- Expanded and updated methods for complex surveys (always welcome, and leagues ahead of SAS in this department)
- Multiple imputation
- More robust handling of panel data
- Still backwards compatible with the most popular user-written extensions/packages
- about 9001 other awesome features that I will likely never have to use

...in short, if you are waiting for a PM from me or a substantive reply in a thread, I ask for your patience.

Team Fortress 2 has been updated!

Thank you. I was a bit conscious about being prepared and doing my homework beforehand, but Google is my friend Ironically, the company itself specializes as an online search/directory website localized in my region

Rave: I feel even better now after sending a thank you email and shooting some more email applications with custom-made resumes

 

[Zack]

I got a PS3 and Madden NFL 10 today.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I got my schedule today

 

[Camikaze]

It's winter and tomorrow is meant to be ~30C. And that's sun heat, not humid heat, probably.
