I was asked to Interview at #JPL once for an immediate need contract to address some infrastucture issues back in the NT 4.0 days.

The interview itself went well between me and three staff members, and at the end they gave me a quick tour of the facilities and team members I would be managing.

I figured I would be receiving a call and offer letter in the next day or two, but before I left, they led me to a room with some workstations and asked me to take a test.

I declined.

Less than a month later, two of those interviewers in the group were among the students attending a Core Technologies class I was teaching in the #MCSE program.

"When you boil the water, you really should just make the damn coffee."

MIDI-Perl Tabla drums


I finally found the tabla soundfont at gleitz.github.io/midi-js-sound… - So naturally I tried to imitate a tabla player! Here's the code: github.com/ology/Music/blob/ma… and here are the 1st couple runs, in decreasing order of schizophrenia: ology.net/tmp/tabla/tabla-01.m… & ology.net/tmp/tabla/tabla-02.m… & ology.net/tmp/tabla/tabla-03.m… - All are painfully feeble compared to real tabla payers! 😁 #music #perl
