Where is that guy?, I havent seen him around for ages?
w00t, someone noticed me at last ;D
Well as I mentioned in one of my private messages convo to a fellow member, I lost interest in Java a couple of months ago and moved on to C++ seasoned with a touch of Assembly.
The work that I’ve done with the Java community including my Xith3D demos and my little LWJGL scenegraph, had some company in MA noticing me and offering me a summer job.
My Job at SensAble technology involves developing an application that relies heavily on Haptics and OpenGL.
It is written in c++ and a little bit of assembly; any more info and I’ll breach my NDA :D.
This company, senSable valued my work to the point where they booked me a seat on a roundtrip flight to LA SIGGRAPH, covered the hotel expenses etc…
On the other hand, instead of the 40 mandatory hours a week, I put in around 70-80 since I’m truly in love with the project that I was given the opportunity to work on (Physics, Math and Graphics JOY).
PS: I’m not getting paid for the extra hours, I guess this is the drawback of being a college junior, a year or more away from graduation.
I might have a new Java demo coming soon along with an updated scenegraph, but for now I have a fixed deadline to deliver a commercial product and Man, ain’t that a lot of stress
Thanks for asking though; I’m always reachable by email or PM
I was just browsing throught (ripping off) your framework and thought it was very elegant, and then I thought. Where the hell is the guy.
Anyway good for you, thats a nice break
btw I am not the only one who has been asking. matzon asked several times (I think he is in love ) ;D

It doesn’t have anything to do with not having graduated… I’ve never known a company to pay overtime for salaried software engineers.
Sounds like you scored a really sweet job though, congrats.
perhaps in the states. But in denmark you see it all the time. But we have a strong union culture
it’s like there everywhere, overburning engenier is the word
This year I’m voluntarily putting in weekends and extra hours in the day.
Next year my rate is doubling or I walk.
