10/4    Where can I get a list of interesting interview/thinking/logic
        questions? (i.e. "you have n balls, sort it by...") Thx.
        \_ Try rec.puzzles or alt.brain.teasers
        \_ You're going to throw ranom puzzle questions at interviewees?  What
           are you thiking?  Unless you work at Puzzle Magazine Inc. this is
           a lame idea.  You work for Catbert?
           \_ Maybe it's for self-preparation.
                \_ Oh God... you're applying for the wrong job unless it's at
                   Puzzle Mag.
        \_ Notwithstanding the "wrong job" idea, I've heard of and have been
           asked several puzzle questions.  You have a game.  There are two
           players.  One player places a quarter down on a circular table;
           the next player does the same.  This repeats until someone can't
           put a quarter on the table anymore -- that person loses.  No
           overlapping of quarters, placing it on its side, overlapping the
           edge of the table, etc.  What is your strategy to guarantee a win?
           (Do you want to go first or second?)
           Here's another.  You have a fog-covered bridge and a flashlight.
           You have 4 people, and need to get all over the bridge in minimum
           time.  The bridge can only carry two people at a time.  The people
           all walk at different paces:  10 minutes, 5 minutes, 2 minutes, and
           1 minute.  What's the most efficient solution?

12/11   Anyone have experience with Perl PDF::API2 or PDF::API3?  Can you
        point me to a good tutorial for creating a simple document (a small
        table of 2-3 rows and a single image)?

7/21    Can I just use ifconfig to expand my netmask on a FreeBSD box?
        Are there any gotchas here? Linux forces me to restart my network
        to expand my netmask.
        \_ yes... and no, you don't have to restart your network on linux either
           \_ Rebooting is the Ubootntoo way!
              \_ Oooboot'n'tootin!
