They say that when you have an audition, you have to walk in there like you don't give a shit. You walk in there like you don't give a shit, and you walk out with the part, because if you don't give a shit, that's when they want you.

But you've read the script, and it is good. So good, in fact, you fall in love with it. You fall madly, passionately, crazy in love with the script, and you'll do anything to be one of the people chosen to bring the script to life.

You think about it all the time. You wake up in the middle of the night, imagining what it would be like to spend ten weeks on location or four seasons on the set. You get lost on your way to the post office, because you're wondering who your competition is. You can't eat, you can't sleep, you can't focus on anything else . . . you are in love, after all.

In the days before your audition, you do everything you can to be ready. First, you get to know your character. If you're lucky, he's a guy you know. Maybe he's even you. Not the current you, usually, but still You. A younger you, a more passionate you, a more idealistic you; the You who you were before you fell in love with too many scripts and had your heart broken too many times to count . . . the you who was incapable of walking in there like you didn't give a shit, because it felt so good to be in love. Then you learn your lines. You spend hours in your house or your apartment reading them out loud, scaring your dogs, worrying your neighbors, annoying your roommates who are sick to death of hearing about The Script. They've heard it all before, and you've made an unspoken pact among you: you don't tell them how crushed you are when you don't get the job, and they pretend not to notice how you wear the same clothes and drink heavily for five days after you get The Call.

The day of the audition finally comes. Your first date. Your big date. Your only date. You spend too much time putting yourself together. You carefully choose your clothes and style your hair a minimum of three different times. Maybe you spray on some cologne, because it makes you feel attractive. Maybe.

You drive to the studio, and hope your voice doesn't break when you tell the guard that you're going to Bungalow 15. You park, walk across the lot, and your palms sweat when you sign in. You wait for what seems like an eternity, surrounded by actors who are younger, taller, better looking than you. Actors who clearly don't give a shit because they don't have to. You know that they don't love The Script like you do, haven't put in the time that you have . . . but it doesn't matter. You've been here before and you'll be here again, long after they've left for location.

Your heart throbs in your chest when they call your name. You smile, take a deep breath, and stand up.

And then you walk into the room, and you're supposed to act like you don't give a shit.

Yeah. Right.

While we try not to keep it too geeky here, because that would be the easiest way to expose what a fraud I am bore you, this little script from John Muehlhausen is too useful to pass over. It lets you, with a tiny bit of Python wrangling, add Iridium paging failover to compliment your existing pager, meaning you'll have pager service anywhere in the world without cresting the 150 page-a-month limit of Iridium-only service.

Of course, you would have to wear two pagers and look sort of dorky, but if you're already telling your computer to page you via a Python script you're probably well past the gadget dork threshold (and good on you).

Oh, and it's not limited to Iridium, either, so you could tweak to support a second terrestrial pager, so that if a message never makes it to the first pager, a second person could be contacted. SNPP is useful stuff.

Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG: It Just Rolls
Off the Tongue 01/16/2004 11:01 AM
Intel releases its 802.11g Centrino module: The fully standards complaint, Wi-Fi certified 802.11g (and thus backwards compatible to 802.11b) mini-PCI module sells for $25 in quantities of 10,000 or more, according to the press release, and will appear in upcoming revisions to laptops from major makers. It supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access); current Centrino B adapters only support WPA for manufacturers who have integrated updated drivers. What I was told last year during the Intel launch was that businesses of a certain scale work on a three-year purchasing cycle. Dell offered their own Broadcom-based 802.11g adapter to remain competitive because companies that had decided to go with 802.11g during 2003 wouldn't be coming back to the trough to buy more machines until 2006, and Dell would have left that business on the table. Intel is finally able to belly up to the bar, but they really did leave a market moment open for Broadcom and others. Companies that have standardized on Broadcom's solution, even indirectly via Dell or others, won't now switch in their 2004 cycle for new machines to Intel's module because that would mean that they would have heterogenous hardware to support. The flip side is that many companies waited on 802.11g: the enterprise versions of G access points didn't start shipping until long after the first consumer wave, and thus there was no benefit to having G....

On putting 'I'm gay' on a
tongue-in-cheek mock-up of a business
card (and all the bloody grief it's
causing)... 12/24/2004 01:02 PM

So I've been trying to respond to the thread about my apparent obsession with going on about my sexuality (note - they're talking about this) that's manifested over at NSLog(); except now all my comments are getting bounced for 'questionable content'. I've tried removing all the rude words from what I write, but god knows it's hard, and it doesn't appear to be doing any good. Before anyone goes running at his head suggesting that he's blocking comments like this to avoid debate, I should point out that I've been having problems with the MTBlacklist questionable content filters recently, so I'm not implying anything. Instead I thought I'd just post it here, with all the rude words back in... Feel free to post your own thoughts about this stuff either here or over on his site... But be nice, eh?

If what you're doing here is warning me that by having my sexuality on a card I might give out to people might stop me getting jobs, then thank you very much. Clearly by my age I wouldn't have figured that out already.

Figures suggest that people who don't meet their partners at school or university tend to meet them through work. Clearly this happens by complete coincidence - two people (let's say they're straight) are so conscious that they must not be flagrant about their heterosexuality that they avoid all mention of it for years until they happen to bump into each other at some kind of 'straight bar', recognise their attraction suddenly and fall into each other's arms. Clearly there's absolutely no assumption that it's okay to flirt with each other at a Christmas party or whatever. Clearly no one talks about what they did at the weekend if it could possibly be construed as to make any reference (direct or indirectly) to whether they're gay or straight or not. So they wouldn't say that they'd cooked a meal for their girlfriend, or go to see a film with their boyfriend. Clearly they wouldn't say out loud that they'd had a birthday party for their 3-year old son. I mean all of these things would be shouting from the rooftops about their sexuality. They may as well be standing outside your house with placards or rutting like Bonobo monkeys on the photocopier.

And quite right, I think, they should be ashamed of themselves - fornicating with their partners at home! Giving birth to children! Socialising with their family! Getting married! The shame. They make me sick.

I can honestly say that I'm stunned by your statement that you cannot see the difference between someone feeling the need to make it clear they were gay to avoid discomfort and awkwardness for themselves and their colleagues, and the fact that straight people simply don't need to do that stuff. Straight sexuality comes up in conversation a dozen times a day - by association, by reference, however.

At no point during my piece over on plasticbag.org or here have I said that a gay person should 'go on about' their sexuality. In fact quite the opposite. As far as I'm concerned, getting it out of the way early means that the whole thing becomes less of an issue - not more. It's about everyone knowing where they stand, so that they don't say something crass in the office like, "Oh that photocopier is so gay" while someone over the other side of the room feels it like a kick in the head. It's so that the gay individual concerned doesn't have to go through this whole long drawn-out tentative process with each member of staff as issues of boyfriends/girlfriends, what you did at the weekend, what you think about some piece of the news, whether you fancy that bird in accounting come up in idle conversation. Because that stuff is bloody difficult and infuriating and frankly I'm not prepared to go back to a time where I have to go through all that bollocks every time I happen to meet a new human being.

All of which misses the point. I don't make a secret of my sexuality, but nor do I tend to make a big deal about it. Most people who read my site have no idea that I'm gay. They find it a 'surprise' when they find out. I wish that wasn't the case. I wish that they weren't assuming that I was straight. I wish it wasn't an issue at all, but it remains one I'm afraid. I could bring my sexuality into my site all the bloody time if I wanted to, but I don't. I think I've struck a good balance between making my sexuality clear and then getting it off the table to talk about other stuff. And if you don't like that balance, well frankly tough. I don't care whether you like it or not. I'll be damned if I'm going to treat the rest of my life like my teenage years and live in fear of 'being found out'.

I should also point out that you've missed a hell of a lot of qualifying language from my post as well. I mean the very title includes, "In a happier world...". The text itself calls it a "Tongue-in-cheek-ish slightly-bored early-evening version of what I would kind of like my business card to be like." I stand by it - if anything your reaction makes me want to use it more - but it was never meant to be anything but a throwaway offhand happy and less formal card that I felt represented me accurately. It's true that I don't think that the normal separation of life and work is a reasonable one - that I think that we should act according to our principles in both, that we should care about our work all the time, that it should ideally be a passion and as much of our personality as things like your sexuality or nationality or political beliefs or whatever. I really care about my work and don't just see it as something that pays the bills, any more than I think my sexuality is just about something that happens in bed with a friend. But just because I'm not as willing to distinguish between the things I get paid to do and the things I do because I think it's the right and proper way of operating in the world, doesn't make it reasonable for you to conflate two words on a mock-up of a business card with a form of big swinging-dick sex-obsessed radical queer activism!

Oh and somewhere along the line you also make some comment about how I seem to have a lot of respect for myself, and I'm beginning to think that's really where a lot of this stuff is coming from. If you find me personally annoying or offensive then just say so and we can talk about that like grown-ups. Seems at the moment that the only person fixating on my sexuality is you.
