The first movie was Chronicle. This one was unexpectedly good. I was going into this thinking that it would be another crappy teens with super power movie (see Jumper) but man was I surprised.

Then I went over to watch The Woman in Black. It was a solid ghost story but had your typical horror movie scare tactics. I liked it though. The only thing that slightly bothered me was Daniel Radcliffe’s role as a father. I couldn’t help thinking, “THIS GUY IS HARRY POTTER DAMN IT.”

The Grey was the third one and definitely my favorite out of the ones I watched today. Just a great story about survival and the toll it takes on human beings. It reminded me a lot of Alive, a similar movie that I liked. It was even referenced by one of the characters in The Grey.

Watched Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol last. I missed the first couple minutes cause I  was waiting for the after credits scene for The Grey. I don’t usually like action movies like these, but it was entertaining. Good action scenes, awesome gadgets, and a bit of humor here and there.

I think I could’ve did one more but there was nothing good to watch and I was tired of eating gummy bears and Milk Duds.

Note to future Chris: Do this again.

This is my favorite video ever.

“5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Oh, another year of shit.”

Finally learned how to ride switch. The trick is toe-side turns = squeeze your knees together, heel-side turns = push your knees apart.

I brought my Drift camera with me and a got a bunch of videos. The one above is from one of the night sessions runs. It’s my favorite video cause Georo falls a lot in it. And by a lot I mean every time he tries to do a jump.

Submarine. Good movie. Good music.

I can’t wait to go snowboarding.

Castaway on the Moon. Good movie.

One of the technical questions the interviewer asked was to create a data structure that would insert in O(log n) and return an iterator that would iterate the data back in sorted order in O(n) time. I knew it was a binary tree and the iterator would use an inorder traversal of the tree so I started typing it out.

But when I got to the iterator part, I just couldn’t figure it out.  I knew for sure it was an inorder traversal but I couldn’t figure out how to turn the recursive algorithm that I knew into an iterative one. So I sat there and drew some trees to try and visualize the algorithm for it. I thought using a stack for the traversal would also probably work but I couldn’t figure that out either. And then time was up.

So we continued the interview. I asked some questions about the position. Then the interview ended.

I hung around for a little bit with a friend that worked there and referred me for the job then we biked back to our dorms. As soon as I got back I opened up Visual Studio and worked on the problem again because I knew that if I didn’t I’d probably end up staying up all night thinking about it.

It figured it out in ten minutes.

Coding under pressure, man. Can’t do it.
