It's not so much about the money, but both jobs are so much fun to me. And kyle, I did work for an OEM. A word of advice to you, create a lot of testing programs. A lot of tasks can be automated. (you think of the diff ways to do this). Also, back track. most printer systems copied their system from somebody else. if you can identify basically what ASIC chip the printer uses it could be possible to use a previous driver you had already written. If you are going to steal somebody's technology, do it in style. And yes, google is a miracle, make the most out of it. It while I was searching for something regarding public static functions when I chanced upon this blog. just a little pissed though that this blog had such a high rating for the said search key.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29794265.post-74556767538193453102007-03-02T13:19:00.000+08:002007-03-02T13:19:00.000+08:00So now you know why Google has such a working envi...So now you know why Google has such a working environment... It's to prevent their developers from going to a mental institution with a straight jacket as a uniform.

Saying that you can work 80-90% of the time is like saying that your mind can handle taking a board exam daily. Heck, doing that would probably even be easier.<BR/>Imagine being a developer of a printer driver for Linux that will run in a system located inside another device (sorry, can't divulge the specifics for this device). Now imagine if the printer manufacturer won't release the set of instructions that can be given to the printer just because they themselves already developed the drivers for the more common usage of their printers - meaning they already provided the Windows driver for the printer. But you can't use their drivers for your specific system. So now, you're forced to do some reverse engineering - print a specific test page using the Windows driver, capture the stream of electrical signals being sent to the printer and convert it to a binary file, read through the 40 kb binary file and try to figure out just what part in that file says that the margin is supposed to be 2 cms. If you watched Matrix, that's like reading from the streaming green gibberish that a woman just passed by the left side of Neo. Now, try doing that for 2 servings of 4 hours, for 5 straight days of the week. If you can do that, then go volunteer to be tested in cognitive labs of Princeton University coz you might just prove that it was wrong for scientists to conclude that the attention span of a extraordinary human being can only last for 3 hours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29794265.post-73173685032174504442007-03-02T10:29:00.000+08:002007-03-02T10:29:00.000+08:00if you blogged less in the office, and worked on s...if you blogged less in the office, and worked on something else during "compiling".
