so it recently came to my attention (TJ emailed me) that I hadn't really posted anything about my new job.
I started at western digital in June on the 16th -- so far it is totally awesome and everybody is very nice (no tempers flaring yet :P)
it's really nice to be among fellow nerd-types. :) Too often when you get a seemingly-tech job, most of the people you work with aren't really very technical and so get confused easily when you start talking like a tech-nerd.
Anyway :)
I'm working for the MioNet division, which WD recently acquired. www.MioNet.com if you're interested -- it's a really really awesome product that comes with the My Book World and a bunch of other external hard-drive types, in addition to being perfectly acceptable apart from any WD hardware. MioNet allows other people to access your computer (including yourself) from outside your local network, and have your hard-drives listed in their network drives list as mounted drives. It's pretty cool how it works (like an emulator sorta), and it's got lots of other features, too -- desktop sharing (like VNC), and webcam sharing (which is more secure than IMing, since it's going through our secure servers). The best part of it all is how simple everything is to set up. When it malfunctions (which is what I see, I get all the not-working cases), it can be a hassle getting it to work (sometimes), but it hardly ever encounters problems when installing it. Our My Book Worlds are basically NASs with samba on them, and when provided with internet access, they can be accessed from ANYWHERE in the world (with MioNet, for the lifetime of the product). It's really really really cool.
anyway :) The job is in Mountain View (california), so if anybody wants to hang out at lunch, lemme know!!

I'll be going to so-cal this Thursday and will be back on Friday around 8pm. Thought it would be interesting -- my first real business trip :D The only other time I've been down there was for training, and that was a whole month away and not technically a business trip.

and for THIS WEEKEND -- I will, of course, be at caextreme. If you aren't there then YOU'RE A GOOBER! :P caextreme.org for more info :)
