TEAM USERFRIENDLY NEEDS Y O U: Got some spare CPU cycles? Is your machine on overnight while you're asleep? Please consider giving them to the World Community Grid and join Team UserFriendly! UFie Didactylos has been leading and managing this effort from day one, and has nurtured Team UF from a nodule of a few geeks to over a hundred and fifty slavering bit jockeys in a few short months! You'll be helping your fellow UFies do some Good in the world, and we need lots of that. Please consider joining today!
WANT TO FIX COMPUTERS FOR ROCKET SCIENTISTS? Yes, this is a job opportunity! The amazing (-ly overworked) folks at XCOR Aerospace are looking for an Information Technologist to join their madhouse crew! You must be a U.S. citizen and if you have experience with SolidWorks it would be an asset. Apparently, employees get rides in the rocketplane! See Illiad. See Illiad Seethe With Envy! If you're interested, drop Aleta Jackson a line at HerFirstName [at] xcor.com. Note the latest photo [.JPG, 1.5MB] sent to me by Aleta: Attached photo of EZ-Rocket on display at Countdown to X-Prize Cup at Las Cruces, NM, in October, 2005. Note Dust Puppy happily sitting in cockpit. He flew with Dick Rutan from Mojave to California City on the record distance flight, too, and flew back with astronaut Rick Searfoss. He's a well-traveled Dust Puppy! And the look on his face is from all of the Gs he's pulled. :) Thanks Aleta and best of luck to all UFies who apply for the job! I hate you!
