Woot! Gainful Employment!

[swestrup]

So, I haven't signed the contract yet (that's tomorrow), but I told the man I would take the job and we shook on it! So, starting Monday I am an employee of TerraScale. Work should vary from the mundane to the very interesting, as some of their clients will need work done on supercomputer clusters. Ha! Some of them have REAL bandwidth. I'm talking upwards of 45 Gbps links!

Still, I won't be doing anything quite that exciting for a bit. At first I'll be working on some sort of automated license server application using strong encryption. I'll pick up a bunch of documenation tomorrow, and find out about the requirements on Monday, no doubt.

Now though, I am off to bed so that I can catch a couple more hours of sleep. Otherwise, I'll never make it to the LJ meetup tonight, and I really don't want to miss it.

So, G'Nap all!

Poo! Well, at least mine is probably longer even if yours is thicker.

Yeah, thats a speed for the interprocessor computing fabric. Prolly only runs a few tens of feet.

Pfft. Remind Greg of the SX-5's IXS, which clocked in at 16 GBps (yeah, that's a *capital* B). They only let you play with the dinky toys, eh? ;-)

Congratulation, welcome to the fold! (even though I'm out now...)

Yay, LJ meetup. I'm looking forward to ours, too.

Maybe after a few months of employment you'll be able to telecommute. That'd be sweet. In the meantime, we're all pleased as punch you're gainfully employed!
