Aquestion, no, I don't think you need a formal education at all to work with computers. I am my own university. Google probably went through my blog, saw that I am really good with programming and really passionate about it and invited me.

Eric Wendelin, thanks for your offer. :)

Laim Mahoney, the recruiter told me about the situation about H1B visas on the first interview. He told me that I would have to wait until October 2009 to start working. It was fine with me, I was (am) still working on some toy projects and that would have been perfect timing.

Walt, I will, thanks!

davee, I am sure it was not a problem. Recruiter would have told me about it. He was a superb guy.

Andris Biedrins, yes, they did have courtesy to tell me. Recruiter told me "that he did not have very good news for me".

SDC, haha :)

Ruslan Abuzant, the most common programming mistake in the history of mankind is off-by-one error. For example, you have an array of 10 elements, and you index the 11th element that does not exist. You were off-by-one.

L, because I really like Google.

Bob the carpenter, no I don't have a degree from a large university. I have a degree from University of Latvia :)

To all the others, thanks for your comments and cheering me up! I am not disappointed, life goes on :)
