Hey all,
A few random things…
0.) Berico Tech Talk
When: Wednesday April 13th (Tomorrow), 6:00pm-7:30pm
Where: CSE Atrium
What: Is SQL Dead? Please join Berico Technologies Senior Engineer Soup Shah as he explores the use of traditional Relational Databases vs. the new NoSQL/Cloud database approach. Discussions will take a high level approach before diving into the internals of the question and examining when is an appropriate time to use each one of the two paradigms. Following discussion of the main topic, Soup will answer any questions regarding cloud computing as well as its application in the national security arena. Food and beverages will be provided by Berico Technologies. www.bericotechnologies.com Presented by Sapan “Soup” Shah.
This company is from the East Coast, in D.C., (which is pretty rare for a tech talk here, 5 hour flights aren’t fun!) so it might be interesting to drop by.
1.) UW Spring Career Fair
When: Thursday April 14th, 3pm-7pm
Where: Alaska Airlines (no longer Bank of America) Arena
What: It’s UW’s largest career fair. But there are a fair number of tech companies that will be present eager to higher Software Engineers (aka us!). If you are still looking for a job or internship do stop by! See the list for yourself, http://www.scribd.com/doc/52508971/2011-SCF-Employer-Guide.
2.) Greening-up-the-Labs
We are very fortunate for our printing privilegedes! Now here is a way to automatically end those pesky cover sheets from printing from linux machines. Run the following script in linux:
#!/bin/bash # Sets the ugrad lab printers to print double-sided without header pages # Author: Krysta Yousoufian, 10/11/10 # Print double-sided in 002, 003, 006, and 022 lpoptions -p ps002 -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble lpoptions -p ps003 -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble lpoptions -p ps006 -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble lpoptions -p ps022 -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble # Turn off header pages in 002, 003, 006, and 022 lpoptions -p ps002 -o job-sheets=none lpoptions -p ps003 -o job-sheets=none lpoptions -p ps006 -o job-sheets=none lpoptions -p ps022 -o job-sheets=none
Once again thank Krysta Yousoufian for that tip! (Sorry for the delay… and we are still not sure how to do it automatically for windows!)
