I'm planning on doing mass interviews next week like Wed-Thurs. Anyone want
to sit in on any of it? The interviews will be like 1/2 hour max per person.
The idea is to get a quick feel for the person before spending a long timne
interviewing them.

I've already screened the resumes and sent out email questions to the ones I
like. I'll try to narrow the mass interviews down some, but right now I have
27.

> This quiz consists of five questions, each slightly harder than the

> redirection, but not a ';' in the shell context (ie. you shouldn't
> need multiple inputs, loops, subshells, etc.).  If you aren't sure
> exactly, try to get close - they're meant to get pretty tough.
