6/9     It kinda scares me that my CEO is making major purchasing
        decisions based on my "research" on the subject.  I don't like
        the idea that a company's life can weigh on the decisions of a
        person like myself with little to no experience on the subject
        except that I can read and write Japanese to a degree.  No, it
        isn't bad ass!
        Overall things are easy.  I enjoy going to work actually because
        the guys are cool and I learn quite a bit.  we have three very
        senior level people so I get good input from them.  I tend to
        trust their judgment more than my own just on the basis of
        experience.  My only complaint is that we've done little to move
        forward since I've come aboard so I'm not comfortable with out
        situation. Should I look elsewhere?
        \_ An idiot like you who confuses "way" and "weigh" should be
           grateful to be employed. --dim
           \_ he spelled "judgment" right, which is impressive
        \_ An idiot like you who confuses 'our' with 'out' should be glad
           to be employed.
           \_ shut the fuck up dim
        \_ No.  An idiot who can barely write coherent English is lucky
           to be employed at all.
        \_ As long as your higher-ups are aware of the negative aspects
           of your research, the responsibility is solely on them if
           if it fails.   And have a little self esteem.
        \_ It's not whether you can make the best possible decision.
           It's whether you can make a better decision than the idiot
           who would be doing so if you don't.

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

6/2     Dear sysadm, what is your experience with packaging systems
        (chef, puppet, etc)? What are you recommendations?
        \_ Those are system management systems.  packaging systems would be
           things like rpm and pkg.
