It was moved[^] to 'work and training'
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett
Thank you! May the Bacon be with you!

So Nagy gets blessed with Bacon, and I get a simple "Thank you" for the same service. Well well.
Well, word has it you're more into salads these days... with gorgeous blue cheese dressing, deviled eggs on the side and cool crisp chablis to down it. See, all that was implied by my previous reply.

Salads ? Word has it that it may contain worms, so not my cup of tea. [edit] Forgot the *evil grin*
Oooooh! Touche!

Sorry, but I don't have many connections there, but yes, I've got family. Thanks, I'm doing great - working hard. I hope to be in the States sometime in the late fall or early winter. (OK, don't tell anybody I'm asking you in the lounge, but I'll ask you quietly... what kind of stuff do you do? If I hear of anything I'll let you know). Pittsburgh's a beautiful city with the greatest people. It has more bridges that any city in the world. Sorry, the baseball team sucks right now, but the ballpark is the nation's best. And then there are the Steelers and the Penguins.

Moving back or for a visit?

Nothing degrading ;) Development, I'm comfortable on a whole slew of things, C/C++/C#/Java PHP (not bad), RoR (progressing rapidly) and I've done quite a bit of Sys Admin work on CentOS/RHEL FreeBSD and Debian so Bash scripting is there and some plain Ruby. I'm comfortable with Sql Server and PgSQL and I've been playing around with MongoDB and CouchDB. Cloud stuff (administration and architecture) is what I've been doing lately, happy with the major players, OpenNebula/OpenStack/Ganeti/RHEV 3.0. I'm the [lead] architect for the IFRC[^] where we designed and are currently implementing a MENA wide hybrid cloud in collaboration with Dell, RedHat and Rackspace. I did the whole thing essentially across 10 months, negotiations with the vendors getting cost-plus deals (really good deals if you ask me) building the pilot (Jordan) and setting the strategy for the whole zone which extends from Iran to Morocco (Israel too). Impressed the hell out of the senior guys in Geneva. I freelanced which meant I had to learn A LOT :)

Not moving back, but hope to visit soon. Your resume sounds a lot like mine - except I go back to punch cards and paper tape. Pittsburgh is a great hi-tech location, and I understand that the cost of living isn't too unreasonable there. If I hear of anything I will definitely let you know.

True; but how many cities of Pittsburgh's size in the US have two profesional sports teams any more. Someone needs to put the Pirates out of our misery and demote the whole team into the minor leagues. :laugh:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Fact is, people in Pgh are passionate about baseball and are suffering trauma due to the Pirates. A franchise as storied as Pgh's doesn't deserve to die. Hopefully the owners can get things back on track. I attended a game last summer, with my son, when I was visiting my folks. We had a great time. The ballpark is awesome, the people were great, and the ballgame itself didn't seem to interfere too badly with the festivities in the stands. We had a great time - but the Bucs lost. (Statistically speaking, our odds weren't too good to actually attend a game that we won.)

I'm with the cynics who think the owners have decided that trying to have a team that doesn't suck is too much like work when they can hoover money out of clueless fans wallets no matter how horrid the team plays.
