VeronicaP Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hello hello, My name is Veronica and I'm new to LAVA, so I thought I'd stop by and introduce myself! I'm currently about to start my last semester of software engineering at McGill university in Montreal, Quebec, Canada (please see informative video at end of post). I've been an intern at National Instruments for the past two summers, and although it's taken a little while for me to tear myself away from the land of text based coding, I must say I've become quite fond of LabVIEW! Last summer I worked for the RF Product Marketing group, and got to build a signal jamming demo using high speed digitizers for wideband spectrum analysis, and signal generators for jamming. This year I'm building a demo for a FlexRIO adapter module, and I also worked on some top secret slides for the day 2 NIWeek keynote. All in LabVIEW (/LabVIEW FPGA)! Exciting stuff. I'm actually here in the LAVA lounge at the moment thanks to some ongoing harassment from Norm, el capitan or whatnot... he sits two cubes behind me here at NIC, and since I'm going to the BBQ at Stubb's, he insisted I come say hi first. Such treatment we interns must suffer on a daily basis here at NI . So it's nice to meet you all! And for anyone attending NIWeek or going to the BBQ, I look forward to seeing you in person and discussing the power and awesomeness of LabVIEW. Cheers v ( ) 2 Quote Link to comment
PaulG. Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 WOW! Another lady on LAVA. That makes how many? Maybe three now? Welcome. Don't worry about Norm. He's frequently "misunderstood", but we still love 'em over here. Quote Link to comment
Norm Kirchner Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 And just to put a 'face' with a name with a photo that Veronica says is probably 'LAVA inappropriate' and 'the most skin LAVA has ever seen' (she must never have seen the Coyote Ugly photos).... 1 Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 ...a photo that Veronica says is probably 'LAVA inappropriate' and 'the most skin LAVA has ever seen' It's only inappropriate in that it doesn't show enough skin Welcome V - see you at the barbie. 1 Quote Link to comment
Norm Kirchner Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 It's only inappropriate in that it doesn't show enough skin Welcome V - see you at the barbie. it had more..... she made me take it off HA! a Barbie at the barbie, clever Quote Link to comment
Jim Kring Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hey Veronica, Welcome to LAVA, a female-friendly and Canadian-tolerant establishment. See you at NIWeek! -Jim PS - Doesn't having Norm behind your back (where you can't keep an eye on him) worry you? Quote Link to comment
JohnRH Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hi Veronica, LAVA is perhaps female friendly and Canadian tolerant, but I'm not sure if we should tolerate someone from McGill! (I'm from Queen's and could resist the chance to bring our friendly inter school rivalry onto LAVA! ) Quote Link to comment
crelf Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 PS - Doesn't having Norm behind your back (where you can't keep an eye on him) worry you? Yeah - that'd totally freak me out Keep an eye on him, but try not to make driect eye contact Quote Link to comment
Aristos Queue Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 PS - Doesn't having Norm behind your back (where you can't keep an eye on him) worry you? Don't tell Norm -- we're having bars installed on the door to his cube... ;-) Quote Link to comment
Jim Kring Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Don't tell Norm -- we're having bars installed on the door to his cube... ;-) I guess since Norm is always using LVSpeak, you can locate him by ear Quote Link to comment
Norm Kirchner Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I guess since Norm is always using LVSpeak, you can locate him by ear That's just the sound of LV bending to my will.... Quote Link to comment
