15:58   /csua/pub/jobs/webMethods2.  Come work at the rapidly expanding
        company where CSUA h0zers such as smurf,mel,oj,boyd,eric,dstein
        and van already work. -eric
        \_ So what do you guys actually DO?
                \_ Buzzword generation.  B2Bi was good.  Nominations for other
           http://www.webmethods.com/company/executives_board/0,1323,,00.html
                   top choices?
        \_ what locations?
        \_ No Berkeley folk involved in running this company.

           \_ VP Marketing Development and VP Product Development went to Cal.
                \_ Doesn't say they got degrees.  Just hung out and got stoned.
        \_ Release architect = build engineer.  Basically you do installers
           and makefiles and/or other scripted stuff to build their
           products.  Pretty mundane (unexciting) work so it should pay
           you well.  At least $80k/yr for a couple yrs experience or
           you're being taken advantage.
           \_ Yes. Exactly.  So my point is that why didn't they just call it
              Build engineer or release manager or something.  Architect?
        \_ Does this person have to do bad-*ss source version countrol as well,
           or is it just limited version release control?
                \_ Typically this sort of job involves the whole thing.  What
                   you describe as "limited" is nothing more than running an
                   rdist or rsync with the right parameters once or twice a
                   week.
                   \_ Indeed.

4/17    Questions about recruiting below.  Thanks.
        1. Why are different positions called full-time, contracting, and
        intern, with "full-time" meaning regular permanent positions?
        Contracting and intern positions are usually 40 hours/week which would
        imply they are full-time (i.e. not part-time) also.
        2. What's the difference between temp, contracting, and consulting

        According to this report, 28.8% of the jobs in the
        Sunnyvale-San Jose-Santa Clara area are considered IT. Is this
        bullshit or what? What about all the restaurants, cleaning,
        retail, and a shitload of other non-IT jobs in the area?

12/15   Does anyone have experience investing in apartment buildings
        I'm not really looking to invest, but I want an apartment
        to live in, and I'm not happy with the leases I'm encountering
        for instance one requires 2 years of tax returns with the
        application. I'm in a position to buy a building, but I've
        got no experience with this, and I don't want to learn that
