several days and 4/20; 4/21 goals

For some of the missing days, I kept track on Notes on my iPod. So it's ok, right?

Brief summary of stuff done:

Sent off QA app. Got approval of technical resume. Little bit of this. Little bit of that.

Positive experience at one-off job that might lead to future jobs.


To do tomorrow:

Email B for game industry brain-pickin'.

Email yesterday's job a thank-you note.

Study study study study!

Take care of that damned KDDI thing.

4/14; 4/15 goals

3rd draft for technical resume done; write email and send tomorrow morning.

QA resume done.

1st draft for QA cover letter done; 2nd draft tomorrow morning.

Some exercise, some cleaning, some cooking prep. Sent in an application for a one-off 'talk in English for munny' job, got a response, we'll see. Decent cash for a minimal time investment.

Started designing something I can make with what I've learned so far in iOS. Basically... a text-based adventure game, with tabs to switch between exploration and inventory, both of which would be table views. Icons and supplemental graphics can be added. Yes, I know, a text-based adventure game on iOS. You shake your head in disgust. But it should be a good way to practice data structures and review moving from one view to another. I'd like to start working on it tomorrow afternoon.
