Welcome to IWETHEY!

New IWETHEY--
Down and out in the city of light.

Our company makes software that manages job postings and applications for huge companies. Of course, nobody is hiring, they're firing and so they don't need to manage thousands of job applications per day - they just pipe them to /dev/null.

So today it was announced the version 3 (my project) is being shelved until the economy improves or the company runs out of cash - whichever comes first.

So I'm expecting to return to the US around the first of March.

Time to warm up the contacts.

I am out of the country for the duration of the Bush administration.
Please leave a message and I'll get back to you when democracy returns.

New Good Question
I have contacts (rather stale but voluminous) in Denver - plus I can stay with my mom.

I have fewer but somewhat warmer contacts in San Francisco - but the cost of living is less good and I don't want to burn through my savings - I can live on my boat for awhile though.

I've visited San Diego and rather liked it - its warmer than SF (which has weather that gets me down after awhile since it never warms up).

My wife's mom lives near LA in Ontario Calif. She's going to hole up there with our monkey while I close out the apartment and sell all of our stuff. So that might be a base to work from.

Actually, any nice warm coastal place I can keep a sailboat appeals.

I just blew off an interview with Ciber (the automatic testing freaks) in St Louis. I don't think I'm up for another BS loaded job with clueless tie wearing PHBs. I'd rather just write some cool stuff.

To tell you the truth, I'm kind of burned out and thinking maybe I ought to take some time off. I've also been inspired by TJSinclair's entrance into grad school - I've started applications to a couple of them - lined up some good recommendations so far. I still need something to carry me to next spring when I could get started though...

I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customer got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don't become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don't feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more.

New Sorry to hear about it
good luck finding something else. The economy isn't too good here either. I think most of my resumes and other people's resumes got piped into /dev/null as well.

If you cannot find work, think about starting up a small business and do consulting work, that way you look like you are employed even if you only work part of the time. A small business doesn't cost that much to start, and you always can find a good accountant cheap, or buy a copy of Quickbooks or Peachtree to do it for you.

Or you could just sign on with consulting companies until they find you something, but be very weary of contracts, read the fine line and look for any that speaks about non-competes. One friend of mine had to move out of the St. Louis area becuase his old contract said that if he left the company, he would not compete with that company in the computer business. Which means he moved to Fort Lenard Wood, a few places over.

Find a city that is thriving, San Francisco, Denver, Kanasas City, St. Louis, and others are not good places right now unless you got very good connections and leads. I have friends who told me the other places were no good right now.

New Cold? What are you smoking?
Look at the current weather forecasts for [link|http://www.weather.com/weather/local/10016?whatprefs=|NYC] and [link|http://www.weather.com/weather/local/USWA0395?lswe=Seattle%2C+WA&lswa=WeatherLocalUndeclared&whatprefs=|Seattle].

Right now it is 16 degrees in NYC, and 48 in Seattle. Seattle has no alerts, NYC has a local cold alert because with wind chill it is below 0.

Trade ya? :-)

New Don't think I ever felt colder than in Georgia,
waiting for a schoolbus when it was about 34 F, because it was so humid. Brr! It just sucks the heat out of you. It felt colder to me than when it was -20 F in Chicago (the air's very dry at that temperature). -20 F is rather neat because it freezes your nose hairs.

Cheers,
Scott.
New I've been to D.C. in 0 degree weather...
...not including wind chill. Winds were 30-40mph out on the mall, and my wife and I were outside for about two hours in a line. Yeah, that's bloody cold - but for some reason, I can handle the dry cold. Humidity gets under your skin, behind your ears, in your socks, your undies, freezes like little icicles on your short 'n curlies.

/me shudders just thinking about what it gets like here at night these days...

New When was this?
Washington, DC is well south of NYC and quite a bit warmer. And it doesn't get anywhere near 0 F very bloody often here.

Unless you can give me independently verifiable details on when this was, I strongly suspect that you are misremembering here. And even if you aren't, I have to say that I can heartily say from direct experience that humid and around freezing doesn't bother me anything like 0 F and dry.

Also I can say from direct experience that one of the worst things about a dry cold is static electricity. Spend a full winter in NH and you will know what I mean.

New About 2 years ago.
Christmas 2000, we went to visit my dad for about a week.

This last time we were there, the temperature was a much more reasonable 30 degrees or thereabouts. The windchill was still something vicious, but it was much more tolerable than last time.

It could just be me, though...

New Please find the day in question
Here is [link|http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KDCA/2000/12/25/DailyHistory.html|Christmas 2000] in Washington, DC and it seemed to be barely below freezing.

Please don't think that I am being a jerk. But I happened to be walking around in [link|http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KLEB/2000/12/25/DailyHistory.html|this] and I know that the Pacific Northwest didn't come within a mile of comparing to that. (Their site does not go back to 92/93, which was when I learned what -20 is like. Not a fun memory.)

New Huh.
Can't find it. It's possible that what I'm thinking of is that with wind chill the temperature was down to 0 or thereabouts - but I do very specifically remember the TV talking about it being 0.

That's probably where I screwed up, trusting anything said on TV.

I'll agree that -20f would probably beat the holy crap out of anything that we experience over here. I'll also agree that it's quite possible that my personal opinion of humidity being the real killer is quite subjective, and open to interpretation.

And no, I don't think you're being a jerk. :)

New I think your possibility is right
And my experience is that their figures of what it is like "with windchill" really mean, "with windchill and assuming you were an idiot while dressing." That doesn't at all (to me if I am dressed for it) feel like the raw temperature in question does...
