Will Google Return My Call

I sent my resume to google last week. I've been polling my four mail inboxes with vigor.

My lab partner, Mike Andrion, and I have been meeting every evening since Tuesday to get a handle on our Minix kernel hack assignment. It will, in the end be a magic eight ball device driver.

$ cd /dev
$ mknod 8ball c 15 0
   # character device, major number 15,
   #  minor number unimportant
$ echo Are we done yet? > /dev/8ball
$ cat /dev/8ball
Outlook uncertain.
