yiuyuho | hello |
viswa_ceg | hi guys! |
DRW_Chris | Hey folks |
yiuyuho | what does it take to work at DRW? |
viswa_ceg | i am interested in working in DRW |
dmytro | hi |
viswa_ceg | what all do u expect from me? |
viswa_ceg | to get into DRW |
viswa_ceg | ?? |
DRW_Graham | viswa_ceg: what in particular are you interested in? |
Fozz | lol |
lidaobing | hi |
RaulEnriqueSil | yiuyuho: Hi all word |
bugzpodder | do you require financial experience in order to work at DRW? If so what kind? (IT/finance math) |
DRW_Chris | yiuyuho: Thats a pretty far reaching question, so let me see if I can trim the answer down a bit |
viswa_ceg | i heard DRW is a esteemed organisation |
lidaobing | do you want to hire people in China or from China? |
Malkava | What is DRW business about ? |
viswa_ceg | that made me interested! |
Fozz | Hi, Where does DRW have offices? |
DRW_Adriane | lidaobing: We do hire from outside the US |
viswa_ceg | please share some interesting facts about DRW |
yiuyuho | DRW_Chris: can a common programmer like myself enter DRW? |
lidaobing | DRW_Adriane: thanks |
dmytro | will there be job interviews at the tco finals? |
kclune | Hello everyone. |
DRW_Dominic | bugzpodder: No financial experience required but it helps. Math skills are also a plus for programmers here. |
DRW_Adriane | Fozz: we have offices in Chicago, NYC, and London |
DRW_Graham | Malkava: DRW is what known as a proprietary trading firm. This means that we have no outside clients and trade only our own money. |
yiuyuho | DRW_Chris: How do I get an interview? |
viswa_ceg | hello kclune |
DRW_Chris | yiuyuho: The easiest way to put it is we are looking for intelligent people that are experts in some area |
bugzpodder | DRW_Dominic: what kind of specific financial skills are you looking for |
kclune | http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=tournaments&d2=tco07&d3=sponsorspatrons&d4=drw |
DRW_Adriane | dmytro: We are def able to interview in Vegas |
kclune | anyone interested in DRW employment opps. should use that link. |
yiuyuho | DRW_Chris: Alright, that pretty much rules me out...lol |
Fozz | DRW_Adriane: thanks. What platforms are you interested in? All or just .net ro just Java? |
yiuyuho | DRW_Chris: Thanks for your time |
DRW_Chris | yiuyuho: follow kclunes link for the application |
DRW_Chris | yiuyuho: woah woah, one second |
DRW_Graham | Fozz: Honestly we are looking for general object oriented skills. |
yiuyuho | DRW_Chris: Yea well, may be in a few years I'll become an expert at something, I'll try again at that time |
DRW_Chris | yiuyuho: Smart is a pretty general word, if you are looking for specifics in terms of coding abilities, the big things are OOP, multi-threaded programming, quantitative skills. |
argonide | so why the innterest in algorithms |
DRW_Graham | Fozz: We primarily code in C++ and C# on Windows and Linux. But we have found that solid developers with experience in other object oriented platforms do just as well. |
dmytro | what kind of multi-threaded programming? |
DRW_Dominic | bugzpodder: We aren't looking for any specific financial skills. A knowledge of markets and financial products or data is quite useful for most projects. |
DRW_Chris | yiuyuho: Expert can mean many different things, just need to be passionate about something and run with it. |
kclune | DRW_Adriane: Hey Adriane, Jessie just called me and said she's having trouble with her internet connection, so she might not be on this chat tonight. |
dmytro | can i be passionate about topcoder? |
bugzpodder | DRW_Chris: what kind of multi-threaded package experience? eg OpenMP? |
DRW_Graham | dmytro: windows and linux multi-threaded programming dealing with several network channels, database connections, and user input simultaneously |
yiuyuho | DRW_Chris: o ok |
Fozz | DRW_Graham: thank you |
Dale_Mellor | Do you have interest in people from a pure mathematics background, with a leaning towards computing? |
Fozz | DRW_Graham: Do you have any kind of graduate, internship or part time work pogram? |
DRW_Dominic | argonide: Specifically for algorithmic trading applications. Fast market data and order execution algorithms are essential to compete in electronic markets. |
DRW_Chris | bugzpodder: We aren't really looking for specific multi-threaded packages. We are more interested in people with a general prowess in that area |
DRW_Graham | Fozz: we have internships available |
DRW_Chris | bugzpodder: Alot of the systems that we design here have tons of moving parts all of which need to happen in real time, so multi-threaded architechture becomes very important |
zhaofu(do_ob) | do you provide intern for international student? |
DRW_Chris | bugzpodder: Graham just told me I need to learn how to spell. |
DRW_Chris | bugzpodder: So clearly thats not all that important for working here. |
DRW_Dominic | Dale_Mellor: Our Quantitative group hires people with just that background. We are hiring for QR as well, you should visit our website www.drwtrading.com for more info on the quant and financial engineer jobs. |
dmytro | Would you hire a European applicant to Chicago office or to London office? |
yiuyuho | DRW_Chris: you you require a lot of working experience? |
kclune | what opps. do you have in the London office? And are they different than your Chicago and NY offices? |
DRW_Chris | dmytro: As a programmer, you will most likely be in Chicago (like 95% sure) |
DRW_Chris | yiuyuho: Nope, none. I came in straight out of college, with no background at all in finance. |
DRW_Adriane | zhaofu(do_ob): go here to the top coder website to drop your resume for us |
zhaofu(do_ob) | DRW_Adriane: ok, thanks |
dmytro | I'm finishing my MS this October. Can I start working before the end of this year if I pass my interview at the TCO? |
dmytro | And how much time would it take to prepare all the visa documents? |
DRW_Dominic | kclune: The london and NY offices have opportunities for app support and trading assistants. All programming is done in chicago. |
DRW_Adriane | kclune: Our London office trades fixed income products, Chicago trades tons of products, NYC trades mostly nat gas and energies |
Aleks | Do you require academic degree? or high school is enough? :) |
rngadam | Can you talk about how Computational Intelligence is used at DRW? |
yiuyuho | DRW_Chris: ok, one more question, DRW is sponoring TC events, so what's in TC members that interests DRW? |
DRW_Adriane | dmytro: The visa docs vary with each case. Usually the turn around isn't longer than a couple of months, but like I said it varies |
Abednego | Which language(s) and operating system(s) do you use for development? |
kclune | DRW_Dominic: So, most dev. work will be done in Chicago, correct? |
DRW_Graham | Aleks: while I do not believe we have any developers without at least a bachelors, we are more interested in development skills than academic credentials |
DRW_Chris | rngadam: Well, I can't really say how we use it since it is highly proprietary., but I can tell you it is one of the many tools that we use. |
DRW_Dominic | yiuyuho: Topcoders are attractive candidates because they are driven, highly skilled, and very competitive - all very desirable and lucrative traits in trading. |
DRW_Chris | rngadam: Things like L/XCS, Swarm Optimization, Evo. Prog, etc....those are all interesting |
DRW_Adriane | bugzpodder: We require a college degree |
FMX | DRW_Adriane: Apart from Algorithm, what other aspects you look for in the people you want to hire, for example my innovativeness has got international recognition, but i have an average algorithm skill ? |
rngadam | thanks Chris |
modenl | What's your critiria to consider the candidates? |
modenl | is 17xx enough to be considerated? |
yiuyuho | DRW_Chris: well, thanks, I think I'll go into it! |
DRW_Dominic | kclune: Thats right. All development work is done in Chicago. |
DRW_Adriane | FMX: We do look for drive in our candidates. What innovativeness? |
vlad_D | DRW_Dominic: are there internship for highschool seniors?? (that will graduate in june 07) |
dmytro | What are the internships for? |
DRW_Adriane | modenl: We want diverse backgrounds, not looking for anything too specific |
DRW_Chris | FMX: Its hard to say we look for x, y, and z. There is alot of work on our sides trying to see how a candidate's skill set fits into what we do here. |
FMX | DRW_Adriane: innovativeness= New applicable,profitable ideas in different fields. i have been MS hqrts,redmond,AOL headqrts,dulles, bcoz i won idea based development contests rather than algorithm based. |
vlad_D | DRW_Adriane: are there internship for highschool seniors?? (that will graduate in june 07)? |
DRW_Dominic | vlad_D: It would have to be an exceptional candidate. We give our interns real work and they have to be prepared to handle it. |
vlad_D | DRW_Dominic: be prepared in witch way? |
DRW_Adriane | vlad_D: currently we only offer internships to college candidates |
DRW_Adriane | vlad_D: sorry :( |
shazbotus | Could you explain what day-to-day activities are like (both for a developer there or for other types of workers)? |
vlad_D | DRW_Dominic: what do you mean by exceptional candidate... and in witch way to be prepared? ... |
DRW_Chris | dmytro: They can be working on any number of things, regardless of what it is, it will be used in production. We aren't hiring interns to sit and read a book for 3 months, we want to give them a chance to surprise us. |
FMX | DRW_Adriane: i am about to graduate in june-end, am i eligible for an internship ? |
bugzpodder | DRW_Adriane: so you do have internship opportunities? (sorry I missed part of the chat) |
DRW_Graham | shazbotus: things change day to day, we work in a very dynamic environment |
vinay.emani | DRW_Adriane: hello. Does DRW have an office in India? |
DRW_Chris | dmytro: For instance, one of the intern projects this summer is for someone to re-write a pricing service that goues out to the whole firm. |
DRW_Graham | shazbotus: sometimes you will be sitting with traders to help determine exactly what they need |
DRW_Adriane | FMX: It sounds like you have done a lot with your career. We look at all types of candidates, I think expierence helps in your case. |
DRW_Chris | dmytro: goes* |
Dale_Mellor | Do you staff have a time percentage to work on their own ideas, or is it 100% on assigned tasks? |
DRW_Graham | shazbotus: other days you will be working with other developers on coding, code reviews, design reviews, or testing |
modenl | DRW_Adriane: simply say, what shall I do to be considerate? |
DRW_Adriane | vinay.emani: Not yet, but we are def looking into it |
DRW_Graham | shazbotus: some days may involve researching a new technology or framework |
vinay.emani | DRW_Adriane: oh, ok. |
shazbotus | DRW_Graham: What kinds of applications do the developers build? |
vinay.emani | DRW_Adriane: Do you people take fresh graduates? |
FMX | DRW_Adriane: no, i am just an undergraduate graduating in june,2007.Those achievements are a result of innovativeness being honoured. |
DRW_Graham | shazbotus: we work on the entire application stack: database programming, network programming, gui programming, algorithmic design, quantitative library programming, etc. |
rashidkhan | Hello |
DRW_Adriane | vinay.emani: Yes! We take people right out of school and exp candidates |
DRW_Graham | shazbotus: client-server |
FMX | DRW_Adriane: In case a NON-US citizen is found suitable, is DRW sponsoring WORK VISAS ? |
DRW_Graham | shazbotus: multi-server with failover |
DRW_Graham | shazbotus: clustering |
DRW_Adriane | FMX: Yes, we offer sponsorships |
bugzpodder | where do we apply for DRW? |
m4risU | What languages do you prefer? |
kclune | bugzpodder: http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=tournaments&d2=tco07&d3=sponsorspatrons&d4=drw |
DRW_Chris | Dale_Mellor: It isn't a set amount of time, but we push our programmers to come up with new ideas and implement them during office hours. Alot of our business hinges on a steady flow of new ideas so the entire atmosphere here is very condusive to looking |
flozell | DRW_Graham: how much money can i make at drw? |
vlad_D | DRW_Dominic: ok |
DRW_Graham | flozell: not a penny |
flozell | DRW_Adriane: what is the work environment like? |
DRW_Adriane | flozell: we pay very competitively with the street |
rashidkhan | DRW_Adriane: Do you have Summer Internship offers for international students? |
shazbotus | DRW_Graham: Thank you...I'm off to take a short break before the coding begins! :) |
DRW_Adriane | flozell: work environment is awesome. young people, all very motivated, all very smart, all team players |
firehell | There are no more H-visas until October 2008. How are you going to hire somebody if you like him? |
vinay.emani | DRW_Adriane: i have another question. while hiring fresh graduates, what factors play mosr important role? |
DRW_Chris | m4risU: Most of our coders work in C#, C++ or Java, but we leave that decision up the the developer that is writing the code. If they can make a case for a certain language, there is no reason not to let them choose. |
connect4 | drw_Guys: I suppose I must ask the important question that is on everyone's mind here. |
DRW_Adriane | rashidkhan: we do offer summer internship to international students |
connect4 | drw_Guys: How is your company softball team, and do you need a 3rd baseman? |
DRW_Chris | m4risU: Generally C# for trading front ends though. |
DRW_Chris | connect4: Umm we do ok. |
Dale_Mellor | DRW_Chris: ... and do the ideas have to be realized quickly with immediate turn-around, or do you do more speculative research taking a year or two, say? |
kclune | connect4: great question. |
DRW_Chris | connect4: We are sponsored by one of the exchanges we use, and they take everyone out after the games, so its more "fun" then "winning" |
rashidkhan | DRW_Adriane: How can I apply for Summer Internship? |
modenl | DRW_Chris: May I have your email? |
kclune | rashidkhan: http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=tournaments&d2=tco07&d3=sponsorspatrons&d4=drw |
DRW_Chris | connect4: And Im sure we could use a 3rd baseman. |
DRW_Adriane | vinay.emani: we want motivated people, smart people, and people who will fit in our organization. Do you want specifics like languages used? |
DRW_Chris | connect4: Haha, thats a great question. |
shazbotus | DRW_Graham: Oh, sorry, another quick question: Where in Chicago are your developers located? Downtown? |
DRW_Adriane | rashidkhan: currently we don't have any openings for summer interns, but you can always visit our website and drop your resume. For full time ops, go through the topcoder website. |
connect4 | DRW_Chris: Good to know! Have you guys considered hiring Alex Rodriguez? I hear that he's good at Trading-related stuff, and he might be interested in that opening if I don't take it! |
firehell | DRW_Chris: There are no more H-visas until October 2008. How are you going to hire somebody if you like him? |
DRW_Chris | Dale_Mellor: Dominic and I work in the Algorithmic trading group, some of the ideas can take a year to pan out and some happen over night. Bottom line we know the problems that we are trying to solve are difficult, as do the partners |
DRW_Dominic | connect4: I'm not sure we can meet the pricetag. |
DRW_Chris | Dale_Mellor: So they give us the time necessary |
rngadam | what kind of hardware do you use right now? clusters? big Sun servers? |
DRW_Chris | Dale_Mellor: And failing is ok, as long as you learn from it and keep moving foward |
DRW_Graham | rngadam: mostly blade servers running Linux and Windows Server 2003 |
DRW_Chris | firehell: Given the right candidate we are open to most anything. |
DRW_Dominic | shazbotus: Developers are located in the Loop downtown half a block from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and a couple blocks from the CBOT. |
connect4 | DRW_Guys: and now for a slightly more serious question, how are your medical benefits? |
rngadam | Would you say more Linux or more Windows? |
DRW_Dominic | shazbotus: With most of the traders and the research team. |
DRW_Graham | rngadam: front end is more Windows |
flozell | DRW_Adriane: i hear there is a game room at drw |
flozell | DRW_Adriane: what is that like? |
DRW_Graham | rngadam: back end is currently more Windows, but we are slowly migrating to Linux for the back-end |
DRW_Adriane | connect4: currently we have BlueCross BlueShield, HMO and PPO options |
srik_sama | DRW_Chris: Can you elaborate? |
skabra_05 | I am looking for Full Time Software developer position and graduating this September |
DRW_Adriane | connect4: a great dental plan |
DRW_Chris | flozell: Its pretty nice, a partner basically threw a credit card down on my desk and said make the room cool |
DRW_Adriane | connect4: and a bunch of pre-tax spending options |
slex | DRW_Dominic: Where you you use your trading algorithms? On FOREX |
skabra_05 | when does your recruiting cycle begins |
rngadam | thats nice... Is deployment also the responsability of the software team or do you have a separate group for that? |
DRW_Graham | rngadam: separate team |
DRW_Graham | rngadam: we have a build engineer |
DRW_Graham | rngadam: a configuration engineer |
DRW_Chris | flozell: We have a huge plasma, think like 60some inches with xbox 360 and wii connected, a golden tee machine, pool table, ping pong, foosball, poker tables. |
DRW_Graham | rngadam: in fact we have a whole technical operations team |
m4risU | quality assurance? |
shazbotus | How knowledgable do you have to be with economics and financial things? |
m4risU | do you also have quality assurance positions? |
DRW_Adriane | m4risU: Yes, we have QA |
DRW_Graham | m4risU: yes we also have a quality assurance team that performs automated and manual testing |
rngadam | are tech-ops outside consultants or also employees? how close do they work with the dev? |
DRW_Graham | shazbotus: None |
kclune | flozell: I've been there. It's really cool. But you have to earn it :-) |
m4risU | DRW_Adriane: Any specific software do you need for QA? Like TestComplete or any other platform? |
DRW_Dominic | slex: We trade electronically on most CME products (mostly fixed income, forex and commodities), as well as most of the other primary electionic exchanges worldwide. (I can't be more specific than that...) |
rngadam | about tests: do you use TDD methodology? |
DRW_Graham | m4risU: we use mostly mercury (now HP) software for QA |
DRW_Chris | srik_sama: There isn't much more to say about it. Just that there is alot of red tape in making certain hires due to visa reasons, etc...if the candidate is a superstar our partners are open to trying to make it work out. Each candidate is different. |
DRW_Graham | m4risU: however experience with a particular QA platform is not necessary to be considered for a position |
DRW_Graham | rngadam: some use TDD others just unit test, but unit testing definitely important here |
zhaofu(do_ob) | kclune: will we have access to this chat contents from TC site ? |
Dale_Mellor | You keep talking about partners; are these individual people who hire and fire at their own whim? |
srik_sama | DRW_Chris: ok. Thanks. |
irulet | DRW_Graham: what does DRW do? |
DRW_Graham | Dale_Mellor: the partners at DRW are very approachable |
DRW_Graham | Dale_Mellor: they are not cut throat and would not let someone go without just cause |
kclune | zhaofu(do_ob): Yes, for anyone who missed any portion of this chat, the entire chat session will be posted on topcoder.com in a few days for you to check out. |
Dale_Mellor | How many partners are there? |
DRW_Graham | Dale_Mellor: 8 partners |
rngadam | Chris: thanks, I'm happy to read that... |
zhaofu(do_ob) | kclune: great ;) |
m4risU | DRW_Graham: So what type of skills are necessary to get into QA position? |
DRW_Dominic | irulet: We are a proprietary trading firm. A full description is available on our website www.drwtrading.com |
flozell | DRW_Adriane: is there a cafeteria at work or do people go out to lunch? |
DRW_Graham | m4risU: We are looking for aptitude in breaking software. Additionally skills with automated testing is a plus. |
DRW_Graham | m4risU: (for QA) |
DRW_Adriane | flozell: FREE LUNCH!!! |
flozell | DRW_Adriane: really? is it any good? |
DRW_Chris | flozell: Fully stocked with drinks and snacks all through the day. Full catered lunch every day, made by a really nice cafe here in the city. |
DRW_Adriane | flozell: We had grilled salmon, rice, almond green beans two days ago |
DRW_Graham | flozell: And we have a fridge just for Naked Juice |
flozell | DRW_Chris: wow, sounds a lot like google |
m4risU | DRW_Graham: hacking experience considered? |
bugzpodder | catered lunch is a really good way of getting employees to not waste any time during lunch hours |
bugzpodder | :) |
DRW_Chris | flozell: For the first day of the NCAA bball toury this year one of the partners bought 1500 wings from buffalo wild wings...that was a good lunch. |
DRW_Adriane | bugzpodder: DRW is pretty social though, we have a lunch room if you do want a break |
bugzpodder | of course, but I am just saying.. catered lunch keeps both employees and employer happy |
DRW_Adriane | flozell: I ate 20 wings and no one thought I could do it |
DRW_Chris | flozell: If you have never seen 1500 buffalo wings in one place, its quite the site. |
bugzpodder | too bad wings get cold if they don't get finished fast |
DRW_Dominic | bugzpodder: Its definitely not about squeezing hours out of people, otherwise I'm sure they wouldn't have bought the goldentee, wii, xbox360, pingpong and pool tables ;) |
DRW_Adriane | bugzpodder: there aren't leftovers often...haha |
bugzpodder | wow, nice stuff |
cintamani | Where is DRW? |
flozell | DRW_Adriane: do people hang out after work? are there company outings? |
DRW_Adriane | cintamani: Our main location in Chicago, but we also have offices in NYC and London |
DRW_Graham | flozell: I actually live with 2 coworkers |
DRW_Graham | flozell: so we definitely hang out after work |
DRW_Adriane | flozell: Yeah, actually next week we have a wine tasting in the office |
DRW_Chris | flozell: Are game room fills up at the end of the day with people just hanging out |
DRW_Chris | flozell: Our* |
DRW_Adriane | flozell: We have yoga class twice a week for those who want to join |
bugzpodder | hows work environment like? do you have a big office with a lot of employees? |
kclune | why should TC members seriously consider working for DRW instead of say, oh, I don't know Google? |
argonide | do you have lava lamps? |
rngadam | Do you ever talk to Mr Wilson? |
bugzpodder | if there are 1500 wings for lunch, i'd think your office is pretty large |
DRW_Chris | flozell: Graham and I went to vegas with a few other guys from DRW a couple weekends ago...we hang out alot together. |
vahem | Do you have intership positions for students studying not in the United States? |
DRW_Chris | rngadam: His name is Don ;) |
DRW_Adriane | bugzpodder: Work envrionment is awesome, the office isn't too big..less than 200 employees in Chicago. But we are growing |
rngadam | Chris: ok, thats sound relaxed ;-) |
cintamani | fewer than 200 employees |
DRW_Adriane | vahem: Yes we have internships for students not in the US |
DRW_Chris | argonide: Nope, that could change though. |
bugzpodder | yeah thats a good thing about working in Chicago.. In NYC the office are often so crowded because land is too expansive |
bugzpodder | or in fact, anywhere but NYC |
DRW_Adriane | cintamani: Yep |
dmytro | DRW_Adriane: somebody mentioned that there are problems with H visas. does that apply to internships also? |
vahem | DRW_Adriane: I am turning 18 on June the 7th, and live in Armenia, but I consider relocating for an internship. What positions(and where) does DRW have for me? |
kclune | we just had a bunch of people just join us in this chat. Please go to the link I will put up next if you are interested in an great career opportunity. |
kclune | http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=tournaments&d2=tco07&d3=sponsorspatrons&d4=drw |
DRW_Adriane | bugzpodder: we are actually looking to expand our office soon because of our growth |
argonide | i'd love an internship position in any company/organization |
kclune | they are working on some really cool stuff. |
dy31 | how to regist? |
kingkong999 | hello |
DRW_Chris | kclune: There are two main reasons the types of problems we approach on a daily basis are far more complex than what Google and the likes are working on. Our business is putting us up against the smartest people in the world in the fastest moving game in |
DRW_Adriane | vahem: Our summer program has already started, but you can visit our website to check out our internship positions |
m4risU | DRW_Graham: Hmm, I can prepare more details next time. I'm not leaving TC until i learn to some good scores, I'm just starting here |
vlad_D | tc_flo: o ajuns baietii in ro?? |
Margarita | dy31: click active contest -> first line -> register |
DRW_Chris | kclune: No offense to the bigger companies, but a problem isn't really hard until you put a time frame on it like the ones we see |
vahem | DRW_Adriane: Thanks. Should I visit DRW.com? |
DRW_Dominic | vahem: drwtrading.com |
kclune | DRW_Chris: That is great. |
DRW_Chris | kclune: The second reason is the recognition, bigger firms, no matter what industry, are black holes for entry level people. Your work is lost in the mix and its hard to have a major impact. |
skabra_05 | hello |
connect4 | DRW_Guys: Thank you very much for handling all of our (extraordinarily unusual) questions tonight! |
vahem | Thanks |
zyx3d | hi |
DRW_Chris | kclune: At DRW everything you do is going to be on the front lines. And responsibility isn't a function of your tenure here, its all about how good you are at what you are doing. |
DRW_Adriane | anytime! |
connect4 | And for the record, if jmpld40 includes my questions about Alex Rodriguez in the chat transcript, I would like it officially on the record that I am not a Yankees fan. |
DRW_Dominic | connect4: lol |
jmpld40 | connect4: too late :) |
DRW_Adriane | haha |
jmpld40 | connect4: i have proof you are |
Centerius | We can't register, can we? |
DRW_Chris | kclune: For instance, Dominic and I along with a trader started the algorithmic trading group after we had been here for like 1.5 years. Graham is managing all GUI developers about 2.5 years into his work here. |
Centerius | I missed registration by 30 seconds =( |
connect4 | jmpld40: Dang, now I'm gonna hafta submit my pic with my Sox cap to prove otherwise :( |
nikola_borisof1 | Swetko: kade si |
jmpld40 | connect4: you're talking to a big time yanks fan, one of the only ones in the office - we'll just photo shop it ;) |
kcome | Hi Centerius |
DRW_Chris | kclune: Its a pretty good feeling to be able to walk into the owners office and tell him what he should be doing to make more money. |
Synx | Go A's! |
jmpld40 | Thanks DRW folks! |
nikola_borisof1 | Swetko: da ne spish da propusnesh TC |
DEBEDb | how come it doesn't show register |
kcome | i just catch the reg 20 sec before close |
DEBEDb | it didn't since before 5:55 |
DEBEDb | argh |
Centerius | registrarion closes 5 minutes before contest |
DEBEDb | yea |
Centerius | =/ |
DEBEDb | I thought I came in earlier |
dmytro | Thank you DRW guys, till next time. |
connect4 | jmpld40: ok, you have now convinced me to not submit a photo :) |
DRW_Chris | Thanks all for coming, good luck in the tourny |
Centerius | I forgot about the contest and hurried up, but I was 30 seconds late |
connect4 | Thanks again, DRW_Guys |
kclune | DRW_Chris: I agree, and if anyone is interested in making an impact in the software development field, and really in the stock markets, this is a great company to apply to. |
