3/13    Slide is hiring!  See: http://www.slide.com/static/jobs
        for details.  We have smart people.  We have plans for total world
        domination including orbital lasers and robot monkey armies.  We
        have interesting problems.  Email me if interested. -dans
        \_ Are the orbital lasers mounted on sharks?
           \_ No, the sharks kept exploding in a vacuum, and they kept
              eviscerating the handlers when we tried to put them into
              spacesuits so we had to scrub that plan. -dans
                \_ I'll suit up yer sharks.. fer a million bucks
                   \_ We're pretty flush, but, given that this isn't key to
                      our world domination plans, this would be a poor use of
                      a million bucks.  That said, we do pay well for
                      developers. -dans
                      \_ There's no way this is going to work until you solve
                         the exploding shark problem.  Sorry.  I think you guys
                         can do it though.
                         \_ A valid point, but don't hold your breath.  It's
                            just not that high on our priority list. -dans
                            \_ Your interest in sharks actually reveals
                               something about your personality.  Since you
                               are afraid of being outed by my diagnosis,
                               I wont elaborate.  Are you planning to
                               provide the JPG of your hand?
                               -Soda's Board Certified Shrink
                            \_ No sharks?  Doooooooomed!  Everyone just *knows*
                               you can't have lasers without sharks.
        \_ Hey who wiped out the discussion of world domination plans and
           flaming? -dans

4/17    Questions about recruiting below.  Thanks.
        1. Why are different positions called full-time, contracting, and
        intern, with "full-time" meaning regular permanent positions?
        Contracting and intern positions are usually 40 hours/week which would
        imply they are full-time (i.e. not part-time) also.
        2. What's the difference between temp, contracting, and consulting

1/16    Fred Wilson says you should focus on the cash value of your
        options, not the percentages:
        http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2010/11/employee-equity-how-much.html
        \_ Or at least, so says a VC trying increase his profit margin...
        \_ A VC wants to keep as much of the stock for themselves (and give
           as little to employees as possible).  That maximizes their return.

        According to this report, 28.8% of the jobs in the
        Sunnyvale-San Jose-Santa Clara area are considered IT. Is this
        bullshit or what? What about all the restaurants, cleaning,
        retail, and a shitload of other non-IT jobs in the area?
