What is everyone working on?

- At work - real-time image acquisition and transmission (I can't get into more detail than that) 2) At home - A program suite that does (or will do) the following: a) simplifies launching one-or more racing simulation servers b) allows remote administration of those servers c) accumulates race results (reported by the servers mentioned, as well as other sources) d) calculates statistics and ranking information based on accumulated race results e) allows clients to setup races (on race servers that allow it) f) provides list of active servers for clients to race on g) provides chat capability for clients h) provides car skin exchange for clients Needless to say, the project at home is rather ambitious for a one-man operation. The software is completely free to anyone that wants to use it (of course they must have the associated racing sim as well). I could be talked into taking on a helper that is well versed in TCP/IP and client server stuff. Keep in mind that there would be no monetary reward, and no recognition beyond having your name show up in the code and probably the about box. :-)

I don't know if it's cool, but take a look at http://www.cadfx.com Basically all our products are being upgraded to be more "user friendly". Joel Lucsy (jjlucsy@concentric.net)

At work: Rewriting a system for tracking pre-clinical studies. The UI is MFC with a some ATL controls, while the business logic is in Java servlets. Communication is XML. At home: Chipping away at a MS (or PhD if I can swing it). My current fun project is a simple CAD system that can output VRML or 3DS. When I get the mechanics of that down, I want to try parametric generation of objects such as trees, buildings, etc.

My day job is writing retirement planning software (how much to save, where to save it, when to start spending it, etc.). Originally a Windows destktop app but we're trying to put it on the web (COM+ and friends). My night job is writing Windows 2D graphics software (www.smalleranimals.com). -c ------------------------------ Smaller Animals Software, Inc. http://www.smalleranimals.com

I worked for ViewPlan for 12 years, most of that time as their only programmer. CCH bought the company a few years ago, and the software has taken what I view as a turn for the worse. It's buggy, has fewer features, is harder to use, and they don't care about their current customer base at all. It's a great opportunity for other estate planning software companies to gain some long-time ViewPlan users.

Well, not really an application per se, but I'm working on a game engine using portal/octree rendering, among other things. Starting with the low level framework and building my way upwards, very, very slowly. :)

Well, I'm based about 5 miles from Manchester Airport and as yet we have done absolutely nothing there although I'm about to assist on a quote for Terminal 2. You're lucky to get FIDS work - I'd love to do that as we mostly do the low level comms/controls software and never get chance to do the pretty graphics stuff :)
Hello, the codegurus around the world.:) Last year, Delta airplne is looking for the MFC programmer to map the location of where and how Delta airplanes are flying around the world. If some MFC programmer is done ths job, this application seems to be the coolest one. Each time the pilot sends some message to the airport, this information goes to this application, this application shows all info needed by maping on the views.:cool: Have a nice day!

Various stuff for our solid modelling program. Just added in code for exporting VRML drawings and am working on improvements for our RenderMan interface. Josh josh@that-guy.net

Can't the application be done using Lotus Notes :confused: Cheers Kannan
No, but you can implement most of Lotus Notes using Dialog. :-) Dialog is a soft platform that lets you integrate virtually any external module (many of which come with the product) and use virtually any communication channel (voice, email, WAP, direct mail, etc.) /ravi

My handicap is that I still code.

Sitting on me arse, unemployed :) Was until recently working on a webified configuration management application using ASP and SQL, with a sprinkling of COM components for the really complicated parts. As I became more fed up with the project, we switched over to a J2EE model (In my opinion, for marketing purposes...we already had a huge investment in the ASP model, so switching over to the EJB model actually LOST huge amounts of time and energy), so I dinked around with that until I could take no more...am currently looking around for another contract gig. Ah, the joys of consulting ;) Jeremy

I'm working on Hitman 2 at IO Interactive. Luv this site because it helps when creating tools our project. :cool: Peter Marino ( www.marino.dk )
Dream job? Maybe... stressful and nerve raking, most likely. In your opinion how is game-dev different from business-dev? regards, Paul Watson Cape Town, South Africa e: paulmwatson@email.com w: vergen.org

well, it is kind of a dream job :-) , I have worked with business software as well. I worked for MGI ( www.mgisoft.com ) developing a DTP program called Calamus. You are 50% correct about the "nerve raking" and "stressful". Last first, stressful is correct. Delievering our deadlines means that sometimes we work 24 hours a day and don't come home after a couple of weeks, and if we went home it would only be to get a couple of hours of sleep. Nerve raking it isn't, actually when we are not stressed then I would say that game-developement is probably the best kind of work you can get. Everybody that works at IO-Interactive are crazy about games and when we are not programming we are playing counter-strike, quake 2/3, or some other kind of game. Every second Friday we all go out, eat dinner, drink beers, play pool, and so on... ( that's life :-) In conclusion I would say if you like games and can program,... then be a game programmer! :cool: Peter Marino
