Norm Kirchner Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 As of Tuesday 11/25 I have accepted a position deep in the bowels of NI. For those of you who hadn't known, I was recently returned to the free agent job pool. I interviewed around and was offered gainful employment @ NI that in turn I have accepted It will be in the RF group and I am getting more excited about it by the day. The only change though that might happen w/ me here is they may make my relinquish my blatant copyright infringement on the NI ~,~ Captain Logo. More will be revealed in weeks to come, but actually as I will be away from home and family in Austin most of the week to start, so my evenings will be free to contribute to the community.... or so I tell myself now! So I really didn't think that this was post worthy, but a few gripes have arisen about not noting this en mass. And yes, I will be attempting with all my power that I might have to become a presenter on stage at NI week although I might not have enough clout to fill Tim Dehne's shoes. Quote Link to comment

So not a Direct LabVIEW job (however I have the feeling not at NI is very far away from LabVIEW). About those evenings, I sometime have that illusion.

LAVA 1.0 Content Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Related aside... With the hire of Norm, NI has picked-up their FIRST Certified LabVIEW Architect (with a bonus of their first CTSA). Or does he have to leave is credentials at the door along side of his avatar?

crelf Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 QUOTE (neB @ Dec 2 2008, 08:28 AM) Or does he have to leave is credentials at the door...? I think he gets to keep the certifications (in fact, I *think* that NI staff are now permitted to sit the certification exams internally?) but I think he's going to have to abdicate from the http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5059' target="_blank">Loyal Order of the LabVIEW Champion.

Norm Kirchner Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I believe that crelf is correct I hear that some people who shall remain aivaliotisless shall attempt to thwart any attempt by me to hold it as *inactive* Fair enough. Being champion is like being given the keys to the castle. Now it looks like I'll me manning the radar towers inside the walls anyways so other than the title, I still probably get the same action!
