Secondly, I've applied for an engineering position at Google. I had my first telephone interview today. The screening questions were complete softballs: "Explain the difference between shift and rotate operations. Where are deadlocks useful? What are the x86 op code, mnemonic and operands for the set-and-test-bit instruction? Quickly! Recite Pi to 9 decimal places." I told the interviewer that her questions were much easier than I expected. She gave an evil chuckle and responded, 'Oh, they'll get harder as you move along.'
I passed the initial test and I have a second phone interview scheduled with the hiring manager. It turns out, incidentally, that I used to work with this manager at a previous company.
Will Fritz move to the Googleplex? Stay tuned to Cyclelicious for details.

Good luck buddy! That is truly awesomenews.
Nice! I'm rooting for you...just don't forget your friends in the blogosphere when you're hired as we could all use a little extra google juice...lol!
Easy questions huh? I am no computer expert, but I can only answer two of them. I know Pi to 9 decimal places and, needless to say, I know where dreadlocks are useful. Oh wait, that says deadlocks; I guess I can only answer one.
Seriously though, sounds like a great opportunity. Good luck going forward.
Ok so I am a computer expert and I couldnt answer any of those. Good luck!
Exciting stuff! Good luck!
Good luck champ!
I've visited my roommate at work and it truly is awesome.
Nice! I gotta know though, when are deadlocks useful?
When are deadlocks useful? The answer is "never."
