About work and other things
One of the advantages, for me, of working in Yahoo! Research is that I get exposed to quite a wide variety of things ... and though I focus on only a few things which interest me, nonetheless it is quite stimulating ! The other obvious advantage is that I get to work with positively brilliant people.
Consider current project - PSOX - on which I have been working on since I joined ... the variety of things I got to opportunity to dabble in is quite diverse ... including some funky stuff with distributed computing - lot of which I learned from collegues - including those who are NOT working in my project :-)
And ofcourse it does help that I get to run jobs which run on 100-200 nodes at a time :-D
The only drawback is that I wish I had more freetime - to watch the tonnes of movies I have bought or the games I have on my comp/xbox360 ... wish I could be better at time management :-P
10 months went by like a breeze - and I am far richer off in terms of knowledge and experience than when I started off ... heres wishing for more !!

Wow feels good to read that you are having a great time! I miss the fun :(
You were definitely part of the fun part of being here ... probably the only person in RE team who had any non-trivial experience with actual y! deployments other than Mani ... wish you were still around for me to learn more.
As we discussed before though - internships are the way to go :-D
I am sure you are having better time now !
Yes may be some more time programming the chess engine.
