Some questions are hard and some looks very stupid, but one can only imagine what all answers people give. Probably on some questions creativity is main thing what Google look for.

Anyway here is the copy paste from their site:

  • How would you boost the GMail subscription base?
  • What is the most efficient way to sort a million integers?
  • How would you re-position Google’s offerings to counteract competitive threats from Microsoft?
  • How many golf balls can fit in a school bus?
  • You are shrunk to the height of a nickel and your mass is proportionally reduced so as to maintain your original density. You are then thrown into an empty glass blender. The blades will start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do?
  • How much should you charge to wash all the windows in Seattle?
  • How would you find out if a machine’s stack grows up or down in memory?

And on this blogpost you can check for 140 questions which Google give to their possible employees :D

I thought publishing will be quick job, but…

…but then I realized that my Office XP can’t open it. I tried to open it by force but I only got garbage. Quickly looking at the Google I realized that Microsoft changed format in Office 2007 and that I would need some converter or new Office. I quickly tried to contact the guy who sent me file, but it was to late he was offline so my only choice was to search for converter. Firstly I wanted to find as much as I can about the format. Docx net site was very helpful. I found that I can find plugin for my Office or I can use online converter tool. Since I thought I will not need this again I decided to use online tool at http://docx-converter.com/. Simply I browsed my file and gave them my email address. Five minutes later I got my file.

Easy as pie.

Once i needed Runic fonts and after googling i got few. However i reinstalled my windows and loosed all installed fonts. Again i googled and after a while i realized that site where i downloaded fonts is dead and on free font archives there was no any free runic (rune font), viking, ancient germanic fonts available.

Today i just found my old backup and i was incredibly happy to see my font folder. So here is few different version of Rune fonts . Hope someone will find this usefull.

Download collection of
Runic Fonts (236)

Font installation:

Windows:
Unpack archive.
Click on the Control Panel icon. In the Control Panel
click on Fonts icon.  Select add fonts.  Navigate where you unpacked fonts.
In some cases you may need to also add the fonts specifically to the programs you are using.
Consult the program manual for more information.

    • Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     Many people use Google Adsense program and do not regulary watch changes in their TOS. In last addition months ago Google decided that every site which is using Adsense must have Privacy policy declared on place that visitors can easily access. Here is exact part from Google Adsense TOS:

    “You must have and abide by an appropriate privacy policy that clearly discloses that third parties may be placing and reading cookies on your user’s browser, or using web beacons to collect information, in the course of ads being served on your website. Your privacy policy should also include information about user options for cookie management.”

    Since i did not knowed earlier for this privacy policy rules i am starting to add it to all my pages. You can use this simple Privacy Policy generator if you forgot to make privacy policy to and you dont want to type it. In my case i just wrote post Privacy policy and added link to it on footer.
