  1. Most LV users are not programmers by education, and, honestly, the VIs that I see reflect that. I'll grant that most of the user VIs that I see are in bug reports, and I rarely see entire systems, so I may not have a good view, but some of the progrsamming choices that I see are clearly "something that works" and not "the right way to do it." I can see this being true of many fields -- the self-taught person is sharp, clearly able to produce, but perhaps has never seen some of the standard ways of doing things, and thus ends up producing systems that are hard for others to use/modify.
    No offense but in the world of LabVIEW applications/systems, my opinion is that NI has a limited view of what real LabVIEW applications look like. I realize that you qualified your statement but I was also offended. There are many reason why you or other NI staff will never see good code. One of them is that a lot of developers including myself simply don't trust NI. You only see what we let you see. :ninja: .
  2. What are the terms? Visitors? Registered Users? Active users? Users per time period? Page hits per time period? ...
    All visitors regardless. From about 2 weeks ago.

    BTW, hooovahh, you need to shrink your signature. When it's bigger than your post contents then that's a sign it's too big.

  3. so I think of it as "El Vee". Doesn't everybody? :(
    No, not me.
    At the expense of more raspberries, you may notice that the automatic spell checker feature is not available when typing from within SOME browsers.
    I have given up on built-in spell checker feature for the future. So has Invision (the makers of the forum engine). FF2.0 has spell checking built-in. Time for you to upgrade. Also, the Google toolbar gives you spell checking on any browser. Get a tool that does spell checking for you in any browser on any web page.
  4. I've also found that a willingness to move is a big plus to finding a new job. Unfortunately having small children can, sometimes, prohibit this process.
    From personal experience, the smaller the children the easier it is. As they get older, they start to have (god forbid) friends and (even worse) boyfriends. Then it gets emotional.
  5. In my experience, there are three things that will get you into a company for an interview: Networking, Networking and Networking. The only LabVIEW job I had to send in a resume cold, was my first one. That's because I didn't have much LabVIEW experience. Since then, I only speak directly to upper management. It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears (how to be an expert) to get to the level I am today, but it's paying off in that I can "pick and choose" my employers. The older, and more experienced you are, the less important your education credentials. Of course, there's always the chance to be over-qualified. For some reason, the only way to get paid lot's of money is to become a manager (and abandon programming :o ). The only problem is I love LabVIEW too much to give it up.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm subjected to interviews and tests like anyone else. I just don't get subjected to HR filtering. Wouldn't you feel like crap knowing I applied for a job at your company and you never knew about it because HR thought I wasn't qualified? ;)

  6. Would you beleive me if I said I've got a portrait of HM and HRH on my desk?
    No I wouldn't. As any colonial citizen knows, you only bring out the photos when she visits (your home or workplace). Then it's back in the trunk. :P . Let me guess, you line up at the airport next to the little 80 year old granny's waving your flag? Give me a break!
  7. I apologize for this technical issue. I am aware of this. Currently, when you submit a file, it creates a page that is ONLY visible by the CR reviewers. Once your submission is approved, it will then be visible to yourself and everyone. Then, you can click on the "edit" link to update the file, no need to start again. This issue is already noted and is going to be addressed in a future release of the LAVA CR.

    For now... I will go ahead and approve your old submission, however you MUST go and update it with the new file. Look here at the bottom for instructions on how to update an exisitng file:

    So now if you go here you should be able to edit your file and replace it with a new one.
