Re: Moving to DC
You'd think that this was CF-Community or something. ;) One other suggestion I did have is go to one of the salary comparison sites and check out possible cost of living in DC vs the suburbs that way. You can look at how much more you'd need to make as well as seeing how much more it would cost living in DC vs., the agony of the commute. Believe me, commuting in this region is ugly. You need to take that into account.

It's a generalization so please try not to take it too personally. And I can relate because years ago before I rode I felt the same way. You hate it because it requires you to actually pay attention. You feel like you shouldn't have to watch out for anybody but yourself. You hate it because of the VERY FEW dweebs out there (they exist in every group) that abuse the privilege and blow through traffic at too high a speed, or you've had a mirror broken by one of these guys. OR, as somebody pointed out yesterday, you hate the idea that somebody should get there before you do. Misery spread equally, that's the Liberal Way (tm). Instead of Power To Those Who Can, we need to put a stop those people because it isn't FAIR that they should be able to do something we can't. There was an article written in San Francisco back in 2000 talking about lane splitting. They quoted one guy saying how he hates how people can get there sooner, and they shouldn't be allowed to. They, should just get in line and wait with everybody else. It's such a crock because bikes are much smaller than cars. They fit in smaller spaces. It just makes sense to let them use that space. Consider this... at the grocery store or Walmart. You have these big, wide aisles. WHAT IF you were only allowed to walk single file down these aisles? Even if somebody stopped to get stuff off the shelf, or was standing there staring, looking for the item that didn't exist, you COULD NOT go around them. How dumb is that? Very similar concept.

Re: Moving to DC
Knowing what drivers are like on I-66 I wouldn't be surprised. Actually in this area its almost a guarantee of a near (if not) fatal accident. Those drivers are dangerous. I drive a MIni and in this area I have to be very alert to all those over-sized SUVs whose drivers are usually talking on their cell phones, eating breakfast, putting on makeup etc. A few weeks ago I had to replace a rim and tire after being forced off the pavement because of an SUV driver not paying attention. Another example I remember from last year, I was giving my wife a ride to work and saw some nit actually reading the paper and drinking coffee while traffic was going about 25mph or so. Motorcycles are even more at a risk from those geniuses in this area. While this can be a nice area to live and work, the DC/MD/NoVA area has about the most congested traffic in the country, just behind the LA region. So if you are moving into this area you have to take that into account. For instance my wife works in Bethesda, MD while we live on the western edge of Northern Virginia. Its about 35 to 40 miles one way. During rush hour if you're lucky it takes about an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half. If you're not, the trip can take over 2 hours easily. regards, larry On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 2:51 PM, Scott Stewart webmas...@sstwebworks.com wrote: I think he means riding between lanes of stopped traffic.. which on the east coast may introduce a motorcyclist to the inside of a car door fairly quickly...

Re: Moving to DC
In my previous job, I commuted from Manassas, Virginia to L'Enfant Plaza in DC. Using a combination of driving to the Vienna Orange Line metro stop, and the DC metro, the commute would take about 2 hours one way. Commuting to L'Enfant Plaza from Manassas using the Virginia Rail Express took about an hour. That said, if you're still looking for a job in this area, don't just look at DC, Alexandria and Arlington. There aare quite a few CF related positions in Reston, Herndon and Fairfax county. The downside for most of those place sis that public transportation is very minimal - you'll most likely have to drive. hth, larry On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 9:40 AM, sonicDivx sonicd...@gmail.com wrote: Jason, I commuted from up in White Marsh , Md via MARC train for 3 years and know lots of people who do.

Re: What is it with telecommuting?
I'm seriously considering getting back into the job market again, and have been talking to a few recruiters and potential employers. Since over the last few years I've been quite fortunate not having to commute, so I've decided at least a 3 day telecommute is a requirement. There is no way that I want to consider a 2 or 3 hour commute in this area (DC). So far however those employers I've talked with have been very receptive. So who knows, the attitude may be changing. regards, larry On Tue, May 20, 2008 at 3:51 PM, Scott Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When proper life cycle development processes are followed, there are deadlines and milestones built in, if your consistently not meeting your deadlines, then the employer can look elsewhere.

Re: Sr. ColdFusion Software Engineer Needed - Charlotte, NC
A lot of kids coming out of high school rarely have a real idea of what they want. When I did undergrad advising, it was suggested to me that the students get as broad of a coverage in their first and second years (freshman and junior to Americans). While officially the reason was the University's general requirements for a degree, more often it was that students did not know what they really wanted. By giving them a very broad exposure to other departments and courses, they have a much better idea of what they want to do for their major after their second year.

Re: cost of living estimates
In the northern Virginia area, in anywhere from Fairfax through Gainesville, you need to factor in at least an hour one way for commute time. And even more if you have to take a commuter bus to the Metro, or drive to the Metro. I've turned down jobs that required me to commute. Unless the company lets me work from home at least 3 days a week I won't consider it if there's a substantial commute involved. At least my current job is only about a mile from where I live. So no commute. larry On 3/29/06, Aaron Rouse [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think ugly commutes should be factored in. You get the added expense of maintaining a vehicle more so it lasts day to day.

Re: usability skills
Just as a followup to this discussion, I did a scholar.google search on cognitive psychology and usability, and came up with 3390 hits that these two topics. Several of the cites on the first page of the search specificially mention how the methods and techniques used in cognitive psychology have direct application to usability, and how this field provides the theoretical and methodological framework for usability research and evaluation e.g., Mayhew, 1999 and Caroll (1997 in the Annual Review of Psychology). http://www.antiwrap.com/?948 As for what common sense tells you about interface design, at best it can tell you that something has happened never the whys and the wherefores. As Einstein said Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen. Moreover what frqwuenly passes has common sense in this field has its roots in the research done in the cognitive psychology labs in the 1980's and 1990's.

Re: usability skills
Nice to have an opinion, but do you have any valid scientific data to back that up? Where do you think that the research methods that usability depends on came come from. Or what field of study developed the eyetracking methods that many usability studies use? Look at what departments of study that house undergraduate and graduate courses in usability. I'll give you a hint, its psychology. Its painfully obvious that you know little or nothing about experimental or cognitive psychology. Nor from your arrogant tirade do you show any real knowledge of the research methods involved in this field of study.

It really depends on the company. As a green card holder I'm not eligible for security clearances, but the demand for commercial and government CF related work is still very large.

Its not that bad. It really depends on what part of the region you live in. If you live out in Prince William , Loudouin or Faquier Counties in Virginia, and the cost of living is much lower than in DC proper or some of the areas immediately surroundingDC. However you pay for it in terms of the commute - this region has the 2nd or 3rd worse commute in the country.
