I was lucky enough to have worked with Dani on the re-release of Modem Wars, which was named Warsport. Unfortunately, it's now second-generation abandonware. The company that made Warsport is out of business, and the game network for which Warsport was made is also gone (subsumed into GameSpy, which has no interest in supporting Warsport).

If you liked Modem Wars, here are a couple of screenshots from Warsport:

Here's mine.

Hired less than a year ago. Got interviews from about 20% of the cold contacts I made; got offers from 5 out of the 6 interviews.

Looks like I followed >50% of the recommendations. The best one in the thread so far is to analyze all the competencies you list, and break them up into categories (I use three, from "very strong/good " to "experienced" to "familiar"). That was picked up at every interview but one.

It helps an interviewer tailor his/her questions. For example, if I say "familiar with C++", an interviewer can feel comfortable asking about public/private/protected, extern "C", etc. If I say "very strong C++", I'd better damned well be able to answer questions about things like vtbl layout, partial specialization, the current state of the standard, etc.

I think that some of the ire toward PayPal is because you only hear about the bad things that happen. When a transaction goes well, no one stands up and screams.

I've been using PayPal for a long time, and I've never had a problem with it. I wish I could say the same for some of the vendor sites out there (e.g., I'll never buy again from half.com, but that's another story).

In case anyone's wondering, this isn't astroturf support. I'm a real person who just happens to like PayPal.
