Oh wow, I never realised that the Geiss behind that uber cool WinAmp plugin
I used to have was the same Geiss that wrote the cascades demo for nVidia.
Yes, he's cool in my books :-)

Yeah, well apparently he just updated the Giess plugin for WinAmp.
(Nothing major, just removed a few unecessary limitations and so on.) In
his words, "10 years ago I didn't really know much about developing
Windows applications properly".
I was actually writing to him asking about the exact algorithms used in
the WinAmp plugin... I guess he didn't get back to me because he wasn't
working on the code any more. ;-)

Pffh as I said they're looking for creative numerates and that ain't a big
pool to pick from. If your only failing is that you don't have C#
experience, but show an apptitude for picking up programming languages
they should bite. Hell show them some Haskell stuff and they might hire
you just to teach everyone else how to use it.
Just remeber if you get the job I want my finder's fee ;-)

Perhaps.

It seems there are two kinds of companies. There are companies who want
to hire somebody who is qualified to do this *right now*. And there are
companies who want to hire people who have a proven ability to learn
stuff, so they can *teach* you to do whatever it is.
Obviously, the second group represents my best bet. (I have a
practically *certified* ability to learn stuff! Dijkstra's shunting
algorithm, anyone?)

LOL! Or run away screaming. ;-)

Not... *25* respect points? 0_0

This is an expanding company I'd think they'd want people who can learn
'stuff'

Are they redeemable on Amazon? :-P

It's not?
Well, well, well.
But then in his job it's probably safer not to be told. Hmm!
