Good stuff

The job search is looking up:  I have three interviews next week (two 2nd round, 1 first and only round) and am now talking to a total of 5 companies.  It’s exciting because I think I’ll be able to make an informed decision without having to buckle in and accept a position I don’t want, although so far all of the companies have been very friendly and (from what I know) seem like they’d be great to work for.  Wish me luck.  As soon as projects cool down in my classes, I’ll get a new version of AMBackup w/ updated zip support, etc.

Small AMBackup 3 Zip Fix

The zip library used in AMBackup 3 does not support Zip64. As such, AMBackup fails to zip anything over 2GB (zip32 supports file sizes up to 4GB, but the current library does not). This bug will be addressed in the next version of AMBackup, which will add Zip64 support for file sizes beyond 4GB. Another requested feature is the ability to save backup settings to a file — I’ll try to get that into the next build as well. The next couple of months will be hectic for me due to job interviews, projects, graduation, etc., but I’ll try to get a build out as soon as possible.

Today’ll be a good day

Indeed.  I have one class, followed by doing some work from home (I couldn’t manage to squeeze it in Wednesday as I had to study for my exam), a little bit of cleaning up the apartment, and finally my younger brother and sister are coming over for dinner.  It should be a nice, relaxing day.

Interviews galore

Yikes.  The past two weeks have been so busy for me.  I’ve had interviews with a few companies now and one is asking me to come back for a second round.  Another actually involved three interviews back-to-back the same day (today) — interesting.  We’ll see how it goes. . .right now I just want to sleep (not getting enough of that lately).  Well, I’m off to a group meeting for my capstone.
