Have you guys read about the Aussie farmer who lets her animals sleep in the house?.. Here's a pic - but imagine the caption saying

In today's interview I was asked about passions other than IT. Happily waxed on lyrically about Japanese Selvedge Denim, and artisan/anti-mass-production, source of products, older methods trumping new, types and weights of cotton. He'd never heard of selvedge before, but left very curious, LOL. Nothing but honest, why not yo?

(Didn't pass on I was wearing IH black denim pants at the time tho ;))

[seanocono]

^Haha. That's great, Snowy. I love it.

[Chris]

Did you mention the irony of being drawn to hand craftsmanship and the superiority of old products over new when you work in a field where every new generation is better- faster, more powerful and cheaper?

[Snowy]

No I didn't, but I don't see much gap. I tailor solutions to stand the test of time, not ones that need to be replaced every few years :). On a whole the duality somewhat does my head in. Personal interests are slower and more human, work interests are more abstracted and virtualized, both paths are moving away from each other, so I get your point totally, just try design for long term, not short. And here I am :).

[Snowy]

….and on topic for the thread, I was offered and accepted the role. Not sure which one I ended up with, but salary worked, company seems decent, sold!

[seanocono]

Congratulations, Snowy.  I'm sure it's  nice to be done with this round of interviews.  And, of course, find a place that you like.

[Snowy]

Thanks seanocono, agree. Interviews are tiring and a long process. Fingers crossed, and maybe a chance to talk about denim in the office ;).

[seanocono]

Ha, I have a feeling you'll find a way to make that a reality.

[Seul]

Congrats Snow.

Got a baby girl coming mid July!

[Megatron1505]

Congratulations man 

[Seul]

Another wee'un!.. Congrats!..

Someone needs to research the correlation between wearing IH bottoms and (increased) male fertility   Congrats MoD…

[TJ]

I don't think wearing IH increases fertility as much as it just increases your chances of getting laid.
