Job description and other last-minute things

[nyankoframe]

While still packing, I remembered I said I would post this, and so I am. ^_^

I'm interviewing with the Windows Serviceability Engineering (WinSE) group. This group is essentially responsible for releasing the updates that appear on Windows Update, Automatic Updates, WSUS and so on. Basically, I'd be writing code and/or test tools within this group if I get hired. Thus, I've been forewarned to expect quite a few questions on data structures, algorithms, and logic puzzles. :P

The exact language for coding is still something I'm not too sure of yet though. The requirements state that C/C++ is one of them, but a friend of mine working there is coding in Perl. (I want to code in Perl too.) I'm currently learning STL (C++ templates) but it's a slow process.

I think I would enjoy working there, because I'm interested in security and also because this is a good way for me to continue/apply the research I had done for my HYP.

And now, I leave you with some randomness:
