Thanks! Danny ps, new rule: any off-topic email has to at least have an on-topic postscript. (I was wracking my brain for such a postscript until I realized that this itself qualifies!) And by the way, since it's easy to delete a whole thread of email that you're not interested in, don't worry too much about whether your reply is of fully general interest (as long as you don't change the subject line). Do worry about that for starting a new topic, of course, but even then, as long as your subject line is descriptive, it's ok to target a small subset of the group. (I'm just throwing general guidelines out there -- basically, keep doing what you've been doing; it's working fine so far!) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2005 09:55:33 -0800 To: dreeves Æ umich.edu From: Louise Subject: Google Hi Daniel Great speaking to you. I have scheduled you for a technical phone interview on 11/21 at 3pm PST. Please let me know if you have conflicts. Some helpful tips in preparing for your phone interview: Consider ways that Google could improve. Consider the most difficult bug you've encountered/ fixed. Talk through your solutions, as this can help the interviewer to asses your thought process and/ or approach Visit Google Labs http://labs.google.com/ Thanks and good luck.
