Google Code

At the beginning of 2006 I declared that I had 2 goals for the year and they were to work for google and become financially free. Financially free? ha! Work for google? ha! ha! I am always the dreamer. I did manage to post my resume on their website and it took them maybe 3 weeks to tell me that I wasnt suited for any of the positions they had open. I take this to mean one of two things. Either my resume actually made it past their filters and was reviewed by a pair of real human eyes or the backlog on submitted resumes was so much that it took their software that long to kick me back a response. I imagine it must have been the former since the computing power at google can handle millions of page views per day. It must mean that my resume was reviewed by a pair of eyes. As for financially free, well I did atleast became the richest I have ever been in my life at the time which means that my expenses were less than my income and my networth kept climbing upwards a trend which for the most part continues, but investing, I did too little.

All of this to say that the google code website is cool! Now, I really sound like I work for google. But I found code.google.com long before it got popular and have been tracking the development of all kinds of open source frameworks for google services. They even started a repository for open source development using google technology. Infact I think I will head over there now to see what I can dig up.
