Unwashed Village / Re: Autumn is Upon Us <3 (Except for our Aussie members)
« on: October 16, 2018, 04:18:46 AM »
Autumn is my favorite season and October is my favorite month.
Spring is my second favorite season and May is my second favorite month.
Nice thing about the Midwest is the beautiful color changes in Autumn. Even in Chicago we have enough trees to enjoy the color changes.

That would involve me actually gaming on our PS4. (It was a gift from Liz's sister. We mostly use it for streaming.)

Hey, long time no see!
Yep. We're still around. Not very active, but that's to be expected in message boards these days. Plenty of people who check in on occasion, though.

« on: August 06, 2018, 03:09:36 AM »Hi guys! So, it seems that this group still exist after all. Impressing! At this time I am working on a new Fallout Tactics mod and I wanted to share it with you. I want to create a special location with a reference to the Unwashed Village. It is almost done!
Greetings. And who might you be?

Discworld. If you haven't read it, start.
There are a lot of books, but it's well worth the effort to read them. I'm currently on the last book in the series The Shepherd's Crown. It was the last book Pratchett wrote before his death and was released posthumously by his daughter.

Not bad for the price of the 1080 with how bad the prices are getting due to bitcoin mining
Bitcoin isn't the problem anymore, since ASIC rigs are cheaper and faster at mining Bitcoins due to the type blockchain technology Bitcoin employs.
Ethereum is the big culprit these days. And from what I understand ASIC style rigs don't support the type of blockchain Ethereum and its ilk use, so GPU's (especially AMD) are still being used for that.

« on: June 13, 2018, 06:04:14 AM »Aw crap. I forgot that we are in the age of multiple platforms. I'll be on Xbox.
Yeah, if I get this, it'll be for steam. I recently changed jobs and used my unused vacation to buy a sweet new gaming rig that Liz and I put togehter. (I wasn't planning on going for a GTX 1080 originally, but I was able to snag one for $615 (US) which put it pretty much the best deal I was going to find for a graphics card for the quality. (Fuck Ethereum in the ear!) And since I got a GPU that supported 4K, I naturally had to get a monitor that did so as well. So after paying more than I originally planned, I have a rig that can run pretty much any game out there at full graphics capability.
BTW, welcome back. I find it interesting that of the three of us posting in this thread, I'm the newest member of the UV.

I've never played any of the Soul Calibur games. I guess I've never been cool.

Interesting you mention energy market. I work for Schneider Electric. The company that made this application was bought by them three years ago because the application aligns nicely with the energy industry. ('Cause turbines having to be taken down in emergency is very expensive. Even worse is if you don't take it down and it explodes on you.)

« on: January 25, 2018, 04:59:48 AM »I start a new software engineering position on January 22nd. It pays 8% more than my current software position and is a more senior-level position as well.
I'm going to give my notice at my current company probably on Wednesday.
Congratulations! Working with any particular stack?
.NET
The application analyzes historian data from various automated processes and determines anomalies in the data that might indicate when a component is in risk of catastrophic failure.
The main application (which I'm one of the three principal programmers on) is WinForms. There's a desire among the team to rearchitect it in WPF, which is part of the reason they wanted to hire me because no one before me had any WPF programming experience. I actually have more WPF experience than WinForms, but I began Windows programming in MFC, which is the precursor to WinForms.
There is also a Web component of the application and data analysis algorithms which are handled by other members of the team.
I'll also be doing a bit of SQL programming, though, there are some on the team that are focused on the database side of things.
So essentially, I'm doing full-stack desktop development, with a concentration on the desktop front and back ends. I would like to get a bit more experience in Web Dev, though.

« on: December 07, 2017, 04:12:12 AM »I've been feeling disgruntled with my job search. I had a temporary job for 4 months, that I quite enjoyed, but was let go earlier than expected (all temps, not just me). I've applied for dozens of jobs since then, even gotten a few offers that I've turned down because they just didn't feel right for me. Most of the people who call me are recruiting companies, who usually only offer temp jobs, and exist to make money off you. I don't want to deal with them anymore really. Maybe i'll just start my own fucking company!
What types of jobs are you looking for?
