Interview went very well, two positions are possible - content manager / database programmer
Both look quite nice, and the company seems very close-knit and friendly. It's a Mac shop, but Unix is Unix. OSX shouldn't be vastly different than mandrake.
He asked about freelance for a week or two beforehand, so they could be sure of a good fit, and i agreed. I think that I lean a bit towards the content management... that may have growth potential into the other gig, but gives time to hone my skills in the direction the company can use best.

Heading home. -UT was ok, except that so many people brought personal machines that the hours from about 5.30 to maybe 7.45 were spent by me getting the smelly win XP laptops configured and shared properly. I'll say it again...WinXP is no winner. I did win the one full game that i did manage to play, if that's any consolation. Maybe i was successful as a result of my annoyance with Horace’s slow, blurry-screened POS.-But Horace was good about waiting patiently, to his credit.
Clark and his friend were the outside ringers... Bheesh's son and Santie did surprisingly well, considering how new to the game they are. Didn’t get to eval Kev, Finn, or Doug much, but Sappho gave me a run for my money in that powerpuff skin of hers. You try shooting at bubbles!
Next time (if there is one) there should be a no new skins rule. Or at least email the skin to all players at least 72 hours in advance.
I've sent off my thank you letter to my most recent interview already... I really liked the place.
