      Bankrupting a nonprofit radio station should be eaaaasy! Mwuah ha ha ha ha. :mad: I just hope to get some free tickets out of it, meet some local dev dorks, maybe take over the world, starting by bankrupting the radio station, then city, state, country, Earth. (I would like to point out that if I stole $200m, I'd probably quit using codeproject and get an expertsexchange)

        Wow... But you look old in the picture, well at-least you made it to the news. You have enough money now, leave that radio station alone... and now we know why you are hiding your identity Mr. Russ Wasendorf Sr.

            I finally found some projects to work on. I've wanted to find a way to experiment with mobile development on my own, but with some sort of purpose. 1) A local indie radio station is trying to gather local developers to help build out some apps (which will be released open source). This would definitely lead to article writing. 2) A contest for mobile development that is extremely closely related to what I did at my last job (and they are bankrupt, so I don't think my non-compete/nda is enforceable). This one probably won't lead to an article.

            I consult on the side, mainly for a hardware engineer friend of mine. I don't code for myself, or for 'fun', other than for the rare CP article (okay, I've written two in ten years).

                    You read my mind... unfortunately all that yields is pattern graphs that some poor government sap may construe as art. It is a clever exercise in simulating various ways to lose lots of money.

                      There's also the view that since they enter into the agreement with dirty hands, they voided it from the get go. My old manager went back to his old consulting firm with the actual source code he wrote. The IP is not being counted as part of the assets to be sold off, and the company is no longer operating. I think stealing the source code could be criminally prosecuted so he could be in shit. But I don't see who would enforce an NDA, the bankruptcy trustees, how would they benefit? Anyways, I would never write or design anything the way they did. They were a good example of how not to build a system. I know what I've learned from then and currency trading will help me write something actually good.

                      After bankruptcy, all assets are levied and sold. Intellectual property is an asset and will be classified as such. You will still be held accountable to the NDA. It is exactly the same as if the company were sold. End of discussion... do not violate the NDA.

                        I used to develop a largish open-source app in my spare time, but that has come to an end. No energy left... But I sometimes work on a Android app - I needed it for myself so I built it, and published it on Google Play.

                          I think you may be confusing NDA with stealing IP. They are very different, as much of the NDA I signed has litte, if not nothing to do with IP or source code.

                            We used screwturn at my previous employer, and I've recommended it to people trying to learn C#. It was great while it lasted. As far as coding outside of work, we'll see if my ambitions pay off. I feel like I can't do like x hours per day, but maybe a big coding night per week could work.

                              NDA deals with property rights as does IP. Both belong to the new owers of any / all property belonging to the old company unless stated in the filings as null and void. Good luck, I hope you the best in your endevours.
