Congratulations Ken.

Glad to see that the priorities are in the right order

1) Get job
2) Buy rocket parts

Some times I mess this up. Perhaps I need to make a checklist.

Wonderful. Good Luck.

Should be a secure job.
You know traffic is not going anyplace....Ha Ha...ha

Excellent, Ken! Sound like a fun job.

Those guys used to fly with us. They had a weather sensor that they were flying. They had a zillion H125s (full "H", 29mm). Alas, that motor is no longer certified....

Alright! Ken's buying the next round at the upcoming monthly meeting for all of the unemployed rocketeers! Congratulations!

I think I saw the prototype of the "rocket-sonde" while walking through the lab areas. It never made it to production, though. I think there are at least one L2 and one L3 working there. I should be in good company.

Also, it wasn't me setting the priority of job, then rocket parts! 🙄

congrats Ken, thats great!

What's happening to data storage that everyone but me knows about? I'm in Unix land, but i have a lotta friends that work for EMC, Storagetek, and Netapp.

At the device level (disk and tape drives), all the engineering is being pushed offshore, where all the manufacturing is right now.

Disk still has the edge over flash in the mainstream and high end, but flash only has a couple issues to fix and moving media would be dead.

The big integrators like emc, stk, netapp will roll with the changes, though stk -> sun-> IBM will probably lose the stk high end tape drives since their only competition is IBM. That will dump a bunch more Louisville engineering folk into the job market. I used to be in that department at STK.

Not a rosy long term picture for the component manufacturers.

Are you saying we should get JOBS ??!! 😯
I would actually have to be some where Every Morning? 😕
I didn't go to that School! 😉

Ken, I was in RHO at STK (Sun) for about 5.5 years. My latest interview was postponed almost two weeks ago. I have applied at Vasaila, and we even know the CEO's daughter, not that that helps, evidently it doesn't. 🙄 That's a good company, and I WISH YOU WELL! Still have that 29mm airframe for you! 😉
