A full-time job?

Just writing this post tells me that I’m getting way too old…

Anyhow, I graduate from the University of Waterloo around April/May, and had a vague idea that I should probably get a job sometime after that. Although I do rather like doing the internship thing, starting with a predefined end date, however I think that six months would be more useful than the four-month ones that my school uses.

“Unfortunately” I’ll be getting a really good job offer soon with much less time to accept or reject it than I would like. Which means that I may have to decide on all this quite soon, and thus I need to be looking at other options right now as well. Overall I would prefer to work in Toronto or Kitchener-Waterloo, but if anyone has any job opportunities or ideas they think I should consider (at any location), then please let me know by email. I’m interested in hearing all sorts of different ideas (from full-time to part-time, volunteer, etc.), and even if I don’t take you up on them, we can have a good chat :-)

Kirix Strata: Access and Manipulate Data from the Web

Kirix Strata: Access and Manipulate Data from the Web - this is quite cool, and it’s great to see a lot of data/stats/visualization stuff coming to the web these days. For their specific app though, it seems like it would have made more sense to act as a browser add-on for extracting the data, and not trying to add a browser and spreadsheet/database software at the same time. I know if I used this, I would generally copy everything over to Excel or other software rather than edit it within their app.

DeWitt Clinton » Blog Archive » Yelp search API - yesterday I decided I didn’t have the time to read through the whole Yelp spec and make my suggestions on how they be using OpenSearch. So naturally, DeWitt (independently) did exactly that.
