Appalling...

You've read about this already I'm sure but I just can't believe it.  I've heard some overtime stories but this is really crazy.  This has got to be against some kind of labor law as the author states.

I guess I should feel very lucky working 40 hr/wk + occasional late stays.  Even then, my eyes feel so very tired most of the time, sometimes unable to focus on anything which is kind of scary, and the chronic head/backaches.  Not to mention that I may go sterile sitting all day long, according to my mom.  I don't know where she read it but I believe her.

Just another file extension test result...

I am :

 

You are .pdf  No matter where you go you look the same.  You are an acrobat.  Nothing is more important to you than the printed word.
Which File Extension are You?

I don't even know what that means, man.

About Me

I've only been working with .NET for only about a year now.  I've mostly been a VB/ASP developer and before that Java.  I dabbled in perl and shell scripting on Solaris and HP-UX.  I was dissatisfied as a VB/ASP developer coming from Java environment - I loved Java! since 1996! - but I have to say that I am very excited and enjoy programming in .NET, perhaps even more so than Java.

I actually have a pretty good experience with Java including Servlets and EJB.  I jumped ship when JSP technology was just introduced.

My day job though is split between developing custom MSCRM and SalesLogix solutions.  I work at Infinity Info Systems, a SFA/CRM consulting firm based in NYC.  MSCRM, for those who don't know, is Microsoft's own CRM application built on .NET framework with SQL Server in the back and ASP.NET as it UI.  So I'm having a little fun with that.  SalesLogix is a client/server CRM solution by Best software and is mainly targeted at mid-size enterprises.  Its development environment is basically vbscript with limited form support.  It provides its own OLE DB Provider for the client apps to talk to its database, so ADO is the main staple.  Although I could write .NET apps against this provider, that would mean my application has to sit outside of SalesLogix and most of our clients want everything to be enclosed in the database itself.(SalesLogix stores all of its forms and scripts in the database)

Ok, I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to be writing about... let me think about this for a bit.
