    Goodbye Austin (but not farewell)

    Well, this is my last week in Austin. I'm taking a job in North Carolina that will last for at least one year. I'm really going to miss this place - the nightlife, the music, the flora and fauna, and most definitely the authentic Mexican cuisine (I may have to learn how to make my own horchata). The good news is: I'll be back. So long, Waterloo!
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    I'm sure there are good things in North Carolina too - where abouts are you going?

    >> I'm sure there are good things in North Carolina too - where abouts are you going?

    I know, I'm just being sentimental - I've actually heard great things about NC, and I think it'll be a good fit. I'm moving to an area referred to as Research Triangle Park (or simply RTP).
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    Are you at least going to continue wearing your Texan hat in NC?

    Since you're a SE, do you have to move around a lot for work or something? I need to know because I will be in the same boots in 3 more years :'(

    It really depends on where you live and what opportunities it has to offer. Austin, for instance, generally has a lot of available tech jobs, but in my case, the company made me an offer I just couldn't refuse. =) Also keep in mind that in some cases, you can even find 'telecommute' work, but I don't particularly like this sort of arrangement, as you miss out on the personal interaction that is so important for making projects turn out successfully.
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }
