Hi group, Well, to make a really long story short, I've returned to Pittsburgh and have opted not for Florida after all; long story, believe me. I'm currently...
Hey Rick, Welcome back, sorry things didn't work out in Tampa but it's nice to have you back up here. We're currently trying to decide on a new meeting night ...
At this point, whatever the group has decided is a-ok; my work schedule is very open at this time obviously, but hopefully not for long I'm not only going to...
Sounds good. I remembered last night that the Summer Slam was this month (the 17th) so I think we should table this until we get a chance to meet with...
Just a reminder, Summer Slam is tomorrow evening at Calico Jacks. the event runs from 5 - 8, I'll probably head over right around 5:15 or so. Looking forward...
Hi everyone, I thought I'd take a few minutes to introduce myself. I'm a C# developer here in Pittsburgh, I love to learn, and am driven to learn new things...
Hey Kyle, welcome to the group. I''m glad to hear that you are very motivated to improve your craft. That is certainly a very important part of being a good...
Yup Kyle, I'd have to concur with Jim.. Look at it as a chance to learn about refactoring as this is what is common place; see the patterns and refactor the...
I appreciate the sentiment, but I will gladly concede the impossibility of refactoring this monstrosity. Consider this: There are no #defines in it at all, and...
3000 line switch? Hmmm? Well, sometimes it's simply time to go. From: PittsburghAltNet@yahoogroups.com [mailto:PittsburghAltNet@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
This is definitely a tough one, I can definitely appreciate the opportunity to sharpen your chops refactoring some legacy code that was never written with...
When you boil it completely down, Kyle's situation is that of pissing off his superior maybe not superior technically, but by rank. This falls into the murky...
Thanks for the responses! I was mostly worried, honestly, about the office politics. I have only worked in smaller shops until now. I'm used to people being...
Hey Guys, Time (or past time) to think about our August meeting. I know we've talked about trying a different night this month based on everyone's schedule...
I'm less available on Tuesdays, simply because I close on Tuesdays. That means I'm here until at least 6:00 PM, if not later. Wednesday works better for me, so...
Hi Daniel, Congratulations on completing your masters! I'm copying your email to our mailing list for everyone's information. Are you looking specifically for...
Hi Daniel, I know McKesson Automation in Cranberry Township is using Agile/SCRUM and I believe they are looking for a few people at this moment.. I no longer...
Hello- I know we sort of lost momentum over the summer, but is anyone interested in having a September meeting? I'm open to the time/date/location. Thoughts? ...
Hey Matt, You're right, we did kind of lose momentum there. I'm completely unavailable for meetings all September (I'm getting married in two weeks) but I'm...
Jeremy-- Congrats and good luck. Hope all goes well. Matt-- I'm up for whatever. I'm cool with having a sit-down chat at the usual Starbucks or grabbing a few...
Hey everyone, September is out for me too. Actually, basically everything is out for me. I got a new job in Boston working for Infusion. I'm going to be ...
Congratulations Jeremy! Hope the rest of you guys are doing well, its been a while. I don't know if you guys moved the night from Friday, regardless I won't be...
Jim - sounds like a good topic. I'm in the process of doing the same thing since we finally upgraded to 3.5 also. Lets try to get something together the week...
Apologies for the non-technical post... Not sure if anyone on this list knows Steve Eichert, but Steve is a very active member of the Philly ALT.NET Group....
That's ok Jeremy.. Hey, I also wanted to congratulate you. I've been happily busy lately in my new job and didn't get a chance to write. One thing that my...
