I just decided I wanting to change country, so I got to Ireland, looked for a job and found this one.

Why did U decide to change a country? As I remember U are from France, right? In my point of view France has more high quality of life, etc. than Ireland. This is interest for me because in future I hope that I can change country too, because of situation in my country and no any perspective for changes in near future :(

I work on software that drives machines for carving orthopaedical shoe insoles. Sor of a mix between customer database, CAD and CNC.

But Gabriel! :eek:
Shoe insoles? That's kinda.....too scientific! :eek:
I mean, it's seems to be so distant and far away from the Windows world we all know and love!

I'll tell you how that looks like: the elcos exploded one after the other. Lots of smoke, sparks and very loud bangs.[/qo

God! And were you around there at that time? :D
This is what we call "Macromedia Fireworks MX", the latest version of the graphics software from Macromedia. :cool:

About me... I work in Antivirus Software Company . Yeh really
We are enough small this time but have our own products. We have clients now only here in Belarus, + some in Russia,
Ukrain, soon will be Poland too. I can give a link were U can download some of our products (personal version for ex.),
if someone will have interest to look at it.

---

Yes, sure! Even anti-virus-related jobs are kinda interesting than scientific stuff. :)
By the way, I'm sure your boss has tried to sell to the US, right?
From what I know, almost all of the customers of software companies around the world are in the US. In short, Americans are the true ones really purchasing software. :o

Now on clicking this link, it took me to a question asking what coding am I doing. This was of course for someone else.
Should I reply OR should i leave it OR should the notification have not come to me as the question was not intended towards me?

---

Don't give a d@mn to it, pal. Period. In short, once you join my team and pay a daily subscription of US$50, you have the option to choose what you want to say, what you want to click and who you want to reply to. Very affordable, pal. :cool:

How are the posts such as Junior Member, Member ,Seniior Member ,Moderators etc. decided?
Are they based upon the no.of posts?

---

Actually, Gabriel is right, but he's not politically correct.
The true nature of the these status/ranks follows the cycle of life and death : from baby to toddler to teen to adult to old human to death to spirit to baby to toddler.....the cycle is never-ending.

In CodeGuru, it's the same. From Junoir Member to Senoir Member to Member+ to Senoir Member to Elite member to The Lord to Junoir Member again.

I use to be an Elite member and then the Lord, and then the cycle ends, and now I'm a Member again. Before that, I was member, _ and then . and now, Member. :cool::D

I wanted to see a little what's in the world other than France. At least I am away from the strikes ;).

I have choosen Ireland because they speak English (language interesting, that it is better to talk well, and that is the only one I really speak outside of French) while no being English or American, and while being part of the European Union (much easier and cheaper for me to get here than to go to Canada).

Finally I feel good here, and might stay for a long time. I miss a few things from France, the main being food and good roads, but except from that the place is nice, and the quality of life not too bad (as I live outside of Dublin itself, in the country side).

In your case, coming here might be a little more difficult as long as you're not in the European Union, and it's definitely not a good moment to come here to look for a job as programmer as there as been a lot of people laid off because of the international crisis (even more because a lot of empleyer are big American compagnies).

Luckily yes. And pulled the main supply cord. I think the dang thing would have caught fire, if I didn't.

Dimm, If you looked anything like Elrond's avatar, they would show you out of the country too. :)

Yeh, this feeling is known for me :)
I want to see a World around me but now I cannot do this. So to change a country is a chance to do this. May be else one chance that our company soon grows up, because we ends some plans we have or may be found any foreign sponsor outside ( or the best is 1-st + 2-nd :) ). Sometimes I 'm thinking that if our company took place in our country we of course could have much more possibilities. Here we have enough big dues, many enterpraces have not money to pay for our products (and for products at all). They want to use our programs but for free because cannot pay for it. Now we are trying to begin to sell our products to near countries and extend our buisness field there. But now salaries enough low, of course they are near in 2 part more than average salary in country, but nevertheless it is not enough to begin build a life here (I mean to buy flat,...). So that all gives me boredom :(
Hmm... But OK, the one of good things in a man is a hope for the best future :)

But in this case I already have an avatar of crazy space satellite with mega fusion power plant system :D
So I can fly even away of our solar system.

You know, France is great, but when you travel you understand that France is not the ONLY system that exists and others can have their advantages too. :)
I also left France to work abroad, and I try now to give my french companies the best of what I have learnt abroad ...

dimm_coder: would you like to come to France for working?

What's wrong with Elrond's avatar??? I like it. I wish Elrond looked like it!

The new generation of avatars: clickable utilities attached - now outperforms OPEC in productivity.

Tomorrow night there will be a Lunar Eclipse. Anybody here going to watch it?

Well, shoes insoles with errr.....that opecathecity or something......these terms alone remind me of those big white machines seen in those hospitals showing the patients life-lines/heart beat etc.....something like those Unix systems with a black screen and some really complex white text etc, and there's no GUI but only C++ and Assembler, complete with the most arcane algorithms ever. :eek:

For all you know, when you pull the cord, the electricty wuld have travelled all the way to your hands and......it's kinda dangerous, though. :eek::D

What happened to me?! :eek: I thought the system couldn't handle large integers(in my total number of posts) and thus reset everything in my profile? Sam Hobbs and those with 5000++ posts and above all manage to get through cos' they registered early. Starting with my batch, everything will be reset to 0 when you reach 4000 posts. :eek::D

There's this thread called "CodeGuru pictures" or "Pictures of CodeGuru" started by Gabriel Fleseriu pal.

Inside, Elrond posted his picture : a straight, non-hunchback man wearing a white business suit and a bow. With his short blonde hair and well-shaved golden moustache coupled with a thick sense of literatary atmosphere around him, I pronouce him the Shavian Shakespeare, after Shakespeare himself and George Bernard Shaw. :cool:
(by the way, Marina pal....Elrond already has a wife, so....:D >:->)
