It doesn't? Then what's this?

Actually, I thought one of the reasons C was "worthwhile" was that it
was generally portable. Yes, "generally". :)

For some things..

Often..

Most of the time..

Sometimes..

I thought you were going to pay for the programmer by grant, so I don't really 
understand your business.  

The downside is that FFTW and many other useful tools don't work on Windows.  
It's those tools that make C worthwhile to begin with.

Edmund,

You ever look into doing any of that in matlab?  There is the matlab
compiler which would make your code portable (and if I am not
mistaken, no licensing needed for the client, depending on the
licensing terms for redistributing?).  Just a thought  I know a
bunch of developers fluent in Matlab stuff if you want to compare
notes with someone.  And we do lots of FFTs, etc.

After I got my master's degree, it took me 10 months of substitute teaching 
(gotta keep the lights on) in BR to find a fulltime job in the city.  They 
offered my around 40K, and if I didn't need the money so badly at that point, 
I would have laughed at them.  Before my start date could arrive, a company 
in DFW offered me enough to convince me not to take the job in BR.

In other words...  you aren't alone in that sentiment.

Thanks for the of replies everyone:

What kind of math?  - the ability to code FIR filters, implement FFT functions 
to do spectral processing, wavelet analysis and other custom waveform analysis 
to suite whatever is the flavor of the day from the academics.  Most of the 
coding is straightforward application setup, GUI, viewport, and process data 
stuff but there's enough math intensive code that you can't just wing it with a 
DLL.

Why restrict ourselves to Windows? Why rob Banks? ... because that's where the 
money is.  There's some interest in *nix applications but most of the folks who 
want them are writing them themselves. We open source older applications but 
realistically you can't feed a good programmer when they are writing scientific 
applications for a limited market.

At this point we're needing figures to work into a grant application but the 
position would be a permanent one.

You can register a .Net assembly for COM Interop, which would only
make sense if a considerable investment was made into creating
business objects from .Net and a legacy progam needed to consume one
of them.

[brlug-general] Live Distros on linux wiki

2007-11-16 Thread c.a. weisheit
There is now a Live Distro section to the wiki and I have been adding slide 
shows with associated links to the new page. Check them out.

http://linuxsig.pbwiki.com/Live+distrOS

I would like some feed back on the slide shows. Are they clear and 
understandable? Constructive criticism  is appreciated.

I am currently working on other live CD how to's to explain :
persistent settings, file and partition recovery, testing hardware, live 
installs, customizing live CDs and remastering.

Please suggest additional topics or feel free to add your knowledge to the 
wiki.

Baton Rouge is "class C" airspace, meaning that you must be in contact
with the controller, but you can just about fly where you want within
reason (since 9/11 over stadiums and large gatherings are off limits).
 It would probably be best to have a plan of where to go first and let
the controller know beforehand what areas/headings would be flown.  Of
course avoiding the approach paths to the runways would be a good idea
too unless the commercials don't mind being delayed due to me putzing
around.  ;-)

[brlug-general] C++, C# programmer almost needed

2007-11-16 Thread Andrew Baudouin
I disagree.  I consider myself to be a top-notch .Net developer, and
it take considerably more skills to develop Windows applications in
C++, especially ones like Edmund is wanting.  Not too many shops
around here are developing those kinds of apps, and the ones that are
are paying those salaries.

[brlug-general] C++, C# programmer almost needed

2007-11-16 Thread Dustin Puryear
I was just IM'ing a friend that is deep into development work. Here in
Louisiana, if you are just a run-of-the-mill programmer, especially if
you don't have significant real-world experience, you just aren't going
to get that. For people with a lot of experience and that may be
somewhat specialized then you can start pushing the higher end of that
range.

That said, I *wish* we could shift that range more to the right. If we
could, that would mean others in IT could do the same.. and I could bill
higher. ;)

I specifically left LA because of the pay for programmers.  I knew
guys graduating from college making under 35k.

Mostly a piper warrior.  Started out in a 150.

I hope he's not the sport instructor that does stalls and slow flight
at 1500' over Southeastern University!  Hammond really needs a tower.
I've had to go around several times due to a sport pilot departing 36
with inbound IFR King Air and Falcons on the ILS 18.  There have been
a few times in Hammond where I just loitered outside of the pattern
while the numbskulls got down on the ground.

I never really did make the leap to ham beyond a brief stint with 2m.
It's fun hitting the cell towers with a Cingular card and a laptop
though.  Google earth at 110 knots?!  Works that little cell card to
death and I'm sure it drives the cell companies nuts.  So... next time
you have a dropped call on the interstate, look up.  It might be me
creating havoc.  ;-)
