    so I finally received my DVD i ordered Aardvark'd[^] and have mixed emotions. I laughed a couple of times, and overall it was prolly about a 6 or 7 but I wish there was more technical content. Has anyone watched the movie yet? Thanks, John

      For his part, Spolsky said the picture far outstripped his expectations as a semieducational tool. "What we really wanted is that the movie not turn out to be totally geeky, with a bunch of stand up conversations about lambda calculus," he said. "Lerone came in as an outsider to software development and was able to focus on the human beings, not just the software."[^] I've had it for a week or so, but I haven't yet had a chance to watch it. Maybe over xmas... Jon Sagara Look at him. He runs like a Welshman. Doesn't he run like a Welshman? Doesn't he? I think he runs like a Welshman. Sagara.org | Blog | My Articles

        I recieved my copy last night and had pretty much the same reaction you did. Being the geek I am, I wanted to hear more about what they we're doing, they're problems, and the like. But I must admit it got me interested in doing the FogCreek intern program.... then I read it is an absolute requirment to be a college student, so I was shot down...... -Chris

          Heck, if you want to do an intern program, I have a bunch of ideas that need working on! But then again, don't interns usually work for free (or very little)? Marc VS2005 Tips & Tricks -- contributions welcome!

            Less than a full-time programmer, but I was certainly compensated very nicely. That job put me through the last 3+ years of college. Jon Sagara Look at him. He runs like a Welshman.

              I'd like to see the movie, but with all the bad mixed reviews, I certainly don't want to pay for it... I doubt Blockbuster will have it anytime soon, too. Carl Mercier Geek entrepreneurs, visit my blog! [^]

                The do have a 90 day money back guarantee. So it seriously wouldn't hurt. If you don't like send it back for your 19.95. since I rated it higher than a 5 I'm not going to return it. Thanks, John

                  They should have a downloadable version. Their target market would be -very much- interested in that I believe! Carl Mercier Geek entrepreneurs, visit my blog! [^]

                    and they'd save money on shipping packaging and materials! Thanks, John
