More on the new job
So just before leaving for Thanksgiving, I accepted a job offer from Yahoo! It's a hair more base salary than my previous EarthLink job that is ending in December. I had also been interviewing with Linden Labs, but they turned me down for lack of C++ experience, which is true enough. (I've done a lot of C, Perl, and Java -- but little C++.)
Yahoo! is in Sunnyvale, which is roughly as long a commute. However, it looks like I can take Caltrain down and take a shuttle from the Caltrain station to the Yahoo! offices.
I'll be working in network tools development -- building stuff in C and Perl for analyzing traffic data and network rules. I have to say that building networked Perl scripts is something I do for fun, so this seems like pretty good day-to-day work. Not an exciting end application, but work that is likely to be used and useful (as opposed to projects likely to get shelved as many of my EarthLink projects did).
