Way too much to see
by Jacob on Apr.01, 2008, under General
At my place of work I now have two 24-inch monitors side by side connected to my Xeon workstation. I have Windows running on one screen, and Kubuntu running in a VM on the other screen.
At times, I’m a little overwhelmed about what to do with all that screen space. I leave my laptop closed so I don’t blow my mind.
My HP Job Offer
by Jacob on Jan.17, 2008, under Funny
I found this line in my HP job offer which I found to be kind of overwhelming:
You will be working for the TSG ESS BCSD HSTD Staff Department in the Business Critical Server Divis (BCSD) Organization.
That acronym soup is worse than what I found working at Intel. Funny…. um, almost.
I’m moving to Fort Collins, Colorado
by Jacob on Dec.20, 2007, under Life
Last week I was interviewing with Hewlett Packard in Fort Collins, Colorado. They were interviewing me for a software developer position to do programming for embedded Linux systems. The trip was incredibly fun, and the interview went well too. The day after I got home, I received a phone call from HP and they extended the job offer to me.
I’ve accepted the offer, which means in January I’ll be moving to Fort Collins, Colorado. I’m very excited about this time of my life and I’m looking forward to all the new adventures which await me.
How form letter-ish is this?
by Jacob on Oct.29, 2007, under Business
A couple of weeks ago, I had an interview on campus with a recruiter for HP. The interview went ok I guess, and I was encouraged to apply for positions on their website. Just a couple of days ago, I received an email from “HP Human Resources” which started off:
Thank you for participating in the interviews we recently conducted on campus. Our recruiter was very impressed with your knowledge and abilities and we are actively reviewing your skills and interests against openings within HP.
My question is, how form letter-ish is this? Is this a generic email that they send to everyone they interview? Or does the recruiter actually have to be impressed for this form letter email to be sent?
Duplexing printers
by Jacob on Oct.29, 2006, under Technical
I’m considering buying an HP 1320 LaserJet printer. The printer specs say that it will do up to 22 pages per minute, and it will also do two-sided printing.
Now here is my question:
How many pages per minutes can be printed in two-sided mode?
If the duplexing was completely costless timewise, then it should be 11 pages per minutes. However, I’ve seen duplexers work, and it often takes extra time to move the paper around, so it really should be less than that. But how much less?
