That day
I have decided that day to be December 31, 2011. This will be the day that I was accepted into my dream company. I want to work at the company which innovative products continously capture its users. I want to be working for that company at which their next launch will instantly guarantee applauses from its users. I want to stand out and be part of that group of smart engineers who will conquer the most challenging problem.
Albeit, everybody knows what company I am referring to. However, not everyone knows what is needed to be part of that team. So here will be the things that I will become experts in
- Image and Video Analysis (very closely related to my PhD thesis)
- C++ (not just some random C++ programmer, I want to be the expert)
- Java (a cup every morning keeps me awake)
- Python (I love Ruby but Python is equally good)
- XHTML, Javascript, CSS (I know that people say that I am already good at this, but it takes skills to become the master)
Projects that I will work on for the next several years
- Bibsync : noone comes close and noone will
- my PhD thesis written completely in C/C++ with Qt and probably XUL/XAML/Flex frontend. I am thinking of putting Rybyqt4 into the mix and spice things up.
- pam_urxd (to be announced later)
Hopefully with a solid background in the above skill, an undying passion to explore and a PhD in Computer Science, I will land the job of my dream. Time to work on it. I have only 1300 days left.

I thought you were talking about Apple until you mentioned the 4 programming languages in use at Google. =)

I knew that all along :D ...
Let’s see, my preference would be:
1. Google / Whatever company George and Sean is founding
2. Apple / Blizzard
