I work for a German software company as a software developer (duh..) in my local city, only 10 miles from my house :)

Maybe you've heard of them (InVision Software).

Really sweet job actually, been doing it now for 10 months, and yes its busy and tough at times, and I'm still learning it, but I'm getting on the best.

Best thing is they are global, with sales offices all over Europe and now in the States.

With trips to Germany 3 times a year, it really is a sweet gig :D

I work for these guys as a web consultant http://www.nationwide.co.uk

Not a designer, I'm a coder. I'm working on .Net apps most recently, I have nearly 5 years ASP, JS, CSS, but my main area of concern is accessibilty, usability, training, assisting, technical specifications. It's good fun at nationwide, I love it.

I done that with the air training corps (ATC), except I did a loop a barrelroll and a few stall turns

I did the barrel roll as well but i was grinnig to much after the loop, the instructor did the other manovers (we were working on site and went out for a drink with the insructor in liverpool the night before and he offered to take us flying) so for a freebie it was a goood laugh. You didn't do the flying with the ATC at woodvale (near liverpool) as well did you?

Rutgers (my university) Telefund.

Basically, it's a telemarketting job. You call alumni/parents/companies and ask for donations. Lol, oh well. I hate telemarketters.. how ironic.

It pays well and it's only 3.5 hours a day. $10 per hour plus bonuses. So, it's a perfect student job.

Cool, I would love to have a flight in a Jaguar! When I went to RAF Marham I actually sat in a Tornado when it was in its hanger (it might not sound that good but when you are actually sitting in it when its in a hangar you can feel its power - its quite cramped as well :))

Yeah but when you walk out the in the hanger or on the flight line, Somthing like the tornado or jaguar, you just cant help but get a bit of the top gun feeling (the old music) :D :D and yes the jaguar is just as cramped as the tornado, at 6' 1" my knees were in danger :D

    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      By MacDaddyAz · Posted

      It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By sphbecker · Posted

      As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the formats of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. We all know that users just use the defaults and almost never change them. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO. Otherwise, shut up and move along.
