    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 used to write estate planning software for ViewPlan. Ever heard of them?

          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!

                        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

                            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

                                  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
