  • OT: Weird forum bug
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Not a big deal, just kind of quirky. If a thread is marked as a poll, any time someone votes the 'last updated' field will change the time of the last post to the time of the most recent vote. I got really confused when the board claimed I'd posted a minute ago.

It doesn't bother me, but maybe you can forward this on to the makers of the forum software Jaz.

Sorry if this has already been posted, I didn't see it.

Speaking as a software developer, I'd call this a "feature." :chug:

By the way Lars, I didn't know you were a software developer. What have you worked on?

I've heard a joke about that bug, but I forget how it goes...

I've mainly worked on commercial CAE (computed-aided engineering) software for doing Mechanical engineering simulations, e.g. stress, dynamics, fatigue, and thermal analyses.

Sounds interesting.

I currently work with design software. We offer both our basic design tool as well as customization for larger customers. For the past few years, we've been working on creating a complete business solution for one of our largest customers that handles every aspect imaginable of their business.

I'm computer science, but I despise all the theory/research side of it so you might as well call me a glorified software engineer. I pretty much get to be a code whore for like 5 years, yay!

Well, I'm a partner in my company, so luckily I'll never have to deal with one of you. :P

By the way, what major would that be? From my experience, there's an absolute abundance of people with that skill set. They know just enough about IT to sound like they know something while not enough to actually make it happen. At the company I'm currently doing consulting for, they have a ridiculous amount of 'supervisors' and not enough actual IT professionals. They constantly are restaffing because they don't understand why nothing these laizens claim to be able to do actually gets done.

What does this design tool design? Most input data for MCAE tools comes from MCAD systems like Pro/ENGINEER, Catia, Unigraphics, and SolidWorks.

It's mainly used in the cabinetry industry although it has been used in several others. It's more used in the front-end for customers and pricing, but for our larger customers, we're able to link it directly to their current manufacturing software or directly to most common MCAE tools.

Off topic: When's the last time you heard this song?





LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE the sax solo/the ending from 3:40 on..beautiful music, song reminds me of when life was careless. Not to mention, good sax is like good sex. This song and "Us and Them" would be nothing without that instrument.

Sorry so random, a little cooky this morning... running on just a couple hours :chug: *chugs his coffee* .... ahhhh long day ahead my good people.

haha, i vastly over-generalized what my major is. it's in the school of informatics, and the focus area is cyber security. one of the many possible jobs you could do with that major is software quality control amongst other things..

Security is definitely a good area to concentrate. It's a pretty stressful job though because really to be good at security you need to be a great hacker, so that you can predict the areas that will be vulnerable. Is that your only concentration or are you working on other areas?

On a side note, my former roommate at IU was an informatics major, and it was very difficult for him to find a job. I think his biggest problem was that the jobs he had at IU didn't really give him much background, which leaves you an opening for only entry level positions. Being in security will be tough to do without a background because most organizations that are large enough to hire security professionals only hire one. Therefore, there's no room for training, which means they prefer to hire people with a minimum of 10 years experience. Do you have any previous work experience or internships directly related to your field?

yeah, i already have a job lined up with a 'fruity' technology company ;) -- that's about all i can say about that.

anyways, the informatics field, as of the last few years, has been booming. the school has near 100% job placement now, with avg. starting salary of about $62,000. That's improved steadily over the past few years after employers learned/found out what informatics actually was. The School of Informatics has the second biggest career fair on campus, and there are job recruiters left and right looking for grads. (it certainly does depend on your focus area, aka cognate.) If you major in informatics with a cognate in fine arts, finding a job won't be very easy.
