We also have a Dymo LabelWriter 400, but it's local to
my wife's
machine.
We still write labels by hand, or I print, glue to
blank label, then stick.
We have ~1000 Girl Scouts... we're neighborhood level
now, and I'm the
neighborhood cookie manager ;-)
That sure explains the label printer.
Sure explains why NOT to volunteer ;-)
If your wife wasn't busy with her volunteer work she might
decide to
spend more time keeping you in line!
Tell me about it. My wife isn't working since we moved and
doesn't
want to look because we're not planning on staying here for
more
than another six months or so. Who knows though, if there's
work
to be done we may stay for a long time (since we finally
made it
out of weenie-land).
So, where are you guys now?
NE OH. It's a lot cheaper than VT, though a lot more "big-city".
When asked about the size of the city, I reply "five Walmarts,
five
Home Despots, and four Lowes". There are two, two, and zero
in the
whole state of VT. ;-)
Always on the look-out for business-friendly places and where
they don't
tax grandparents out of their homes
Well, we made it 2/3rds of the way to KY. There is a *lot* more
work here too. ;-)
I beat you to kentucky. I arrived there in the later half of in
1952, at a hospital in Menifee County.! ;-)
Yeah, but you were dumb enough to leave. ...for Florida, of all
places! <ack!>
Only after 30+ years in Ohio. At that time there was no
electronics
work in the area. Months between job postings. A freind who was
an EE
ended up serviceing lotto machines for the state of Ohio. i was
hired
as a broadcast engineer as soon as I hit Florida. It was my
first, and
only application after moving south. I was hired before I had
time to
apply anywhere else.
Things seem to have changed, big time. Of course everything is
electronics today. I've been getting calls from a company that
makes *big* welders. Of course I made an ass out of myself by
asking why they were looking for me (FPGA, embedded controller
hardware type). Well, I have been asked to look at some *strange*
openings.
I doubt that we'll stay long though, although SWMBO is going house
shopping this week. It seems the housing "bubble" has hit here hard.
Hey Keith, do you have much experience with Gb ethernet stuff? can
you email me off-line?
No, I haven't. The closest I've come is GB Rocket-I/O we're working
on now and that hardware isn't back yet (and the ****** "forgot" to
order parts, so it looks like the boards will be delayed two months).
we are looking for someone to help with some FPGA stuff. we are using
Gb ethernet physical layer, so have phy chips connected to our fpga,
but dont want to use the ethernet protocol itself. we have a couple
of FPGA guys, but they have no experience in this area, and its one
of our risk items (it has to work, or back to the drawing board).
email me,
[email protected] if you are at all interested. we have
people working in: hong kong, SF, bvelgium & NZ...
