Well, my flight leaves in about 8 hours for my interview at Raven... eep! Like the topic says, I don't think I'm really that nervous, but it's just more the matter of realizing this is actually happening...

I've managed to keep in touch with my old friend Ken Banks through this process and will be meeting up with him later tonight as he lives very near both my hotel and the Raven office... he's going to take me in, have me sign an NDA, and then show me what he's been working on Should be a great primer to the "real deal" tomorrow morning.

Oi. Wish me luck. [addsig]

Good luck! I don't see how you need it though, surely they will just take one look at your work be instantly desperate to hire you? Be sure to ask them if you can still complete nightwatch... Raven don't allow their employees to work on mods for other games. That's what Rich Whitehouse said anyway... he went to work for Raven after working on the Jumbot and a bunch of other stuff. Hah, you might even meet him I guess

Well, they've already seen my work. Actually, they kinda came to me first thanks to some very kind words from Ken.

As far as NW, the good news is that with the wedding my availability isn't until July or so, and hopefully that will be the earliest any offer would be for. If I need to, I plan to ask if reducing myself to merely an administrative leader (i.e. just make sure it gets finished 'right') would be acceptable. But we'll see what happens. [addsig]

My only regret is that you're not going to marry me after all our(my) carefully laid plans to seduce(drug) you. Best of luck with it. Who would have thought they wouldn't hire Grampa geezer for the job though. [addsig]

Good luck with the interview KFS. If you've gotten this far, I'm sure your chances are pretty high. I can imagine how psyched you are...Raven would be a great place to start your career.

even if, somehow you forget your roots.. we will still be proud, or at least i will..

to have a hobby, end up a job career, and actually enjoy it.... now thats worth remembering.

job usually means drudgery, i think its great..

some of us actually remember you when you were n00b

it will be so cool to pick up a raven box and read a name we know on the cover..

Or read his name in a readme because you steal games off the internet Jon Rickenbaker and that is illegal and you should mend your evil ways.
