What company and group/area of focus are you guys at now. A compiled list would be awesome when looking for tech help with particular products or technologies, or for guys looking for internship/coop/new-hire spots.

HATE JOO

Hows it going over there?

Things are awesome, dude! I'll be back in town next week, we should catch up.

Along the lines of the original topic- any here work for juniper?

7/17/2007 12:53:18 PM

i work for Nebraska Book Company. not a tech company, but I just started a position working from home running "business intelligence" reports and writing custom scripts.

Looking for something new in Charlotte though, so if any of y'all know of any nice openings...

7/17/2007 12:58:11 PM

Good start, there has to be more nerds in high places than just one.
George, lunch this coming week? Hopefully I can get Bobby T in on it, too.

NC Dept of Transportation - IT/Engineering Application Development

Projects range from a traffic signal inventory and maintenance management app, wetlands gps plotting/mapping app, surveying app for handheld/transit, some Microstation crap, etc. Almost everything is C++ or C# but we have a few Java people and there are some who dabble in VB (mainly because of legacy VBA support and some Bentley crap). We are WAY behind in development technology, design, and overall process but that is mainly because we don't have enough people, we don't have the resources, typical government red tape, and political egos.

I work for a small web dev company focusing mainly on real estate websites. I get to do everything from apache config to design, the latter of which I am no good at and I really don't like doing. The rest is fun though

My company is now trying to take a look at providing broadband over power to their customers -- I'm not involved in any of that, but know that they're doing it. I guess once they get a good data network going, then the stuff I do will use the network.

I design computationally intelligent control systems (neural nets, fuzzy logic, etc) to control the flow of electricity along transmission and distribution systems. A lot of the data I collect will be injected into the company's SCADA "cloud" to be crunched.

^that sounds awesome. do you have any links to good whitepapers or research papers on the topic?

10/12/2007 9:21:46 PM

yeah, that does sound very cool.

Prime Brokerage Technology - Risk.

I develop systems to analyze the risk of hedge fund portfolios to determine how much margin lending to extend them.

Mostly Java, some Python, Perl and Ruby. Recently I've really been trying to leverage Spring, Hibernate and a bunch of other OSS frameworks so that we can focus more on writing analytics and code that we get paid for.

Many times we develop prototypes for the Government and then contract with a Business to manufacture and maintain the product. Mainly Navy work although it only makes up about 50% of our business now-a-days .. most of the major advances in Ship Systems have come out of here

production as opposed to corp

Google should pick up and move to RTP where land, cost of living, and taxes are cheaper.

That's one of the few companies that i'd leave Cisco for.

Bobby means a full-fledged engineering office in RTP, not a datacenter in Lenoir

I'm sure there will be a small handful of networking jobs there, mostly in deployment, but certainly nothing that Bobby would be interested in.

consultant at big blue

i mainly do full-scale RFID implementations at client sites - as of recently i've been putting together demos and helping out with proposals for future clients instead of coming in for just the implementations - both passive and active although as of recently we are moving away from passive and more towards doing only active although we'll never stop doing passive - csc grad but a typical day involves a mixture of csc, electrical engr with physical labor with more emphasis on physical labor in setting up the equipment and testing it out - most passive projects i'm the only on-site ibmer but with active projects there is usually a team of ~2-3 depending on how large it is

this year has been work from home 50% / client 50% as where the past 2 have been home 15% / client 85%

sometimes Im , other times , pending on stupid stuff involving my manager Im

3/17/2008 10:16:34 AM

^what group?

3/17/2008 11:36:43 AM

The one a manager sold me in to being a great job but stopped being technical after 6 months, then pulled a "bait and switch" about 3 times now. (A group in TAC) I dont want to be too specific for privacy and personal reasons. I was supposed to work in this group for a year then move in to another group but... yea... didnt happen as advertised.

I was more technical as a effing intern than I am now. I had an interview set up for another group but family emergencies compelled me to pass on it this time around.

Im looking for the quickest route in to another group where I can actually grow in to something more productive.

I have one hell of a bitch list about my manager, but for now Im playing his game, being politically correct about it, and taking the first job outta here.
