Re: [U2] Has anyone ever heard of Kyle Stetson?
Laura, I believe Joe Chelston posted the have you ever heard of message, not mrparkland. I assume Kyle Stetson was supposed to be a U2 developer/administrator, but for some reason Joe suspects that it was only an alias, which is what led to the question. :) Ron -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Address Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2011 10:06 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Has anyone ever heard of Kyle Stetson?

I was curious. Why *should* I have heard of him... why would this question be of interest to the U2 folks? But I felt silly addressing those questions to Dear Address or Hey mrparkland. Does Address have a first name? Is mrparkland even a name?? This person has been posting under this alias for a very long time - rarely, if ever, identifying themselves. The same complaint recently came up regarding FFT2001. I *knew* who this person was, but why hide??? FFT2001 has also been posting for quite a long time, rarely identifying himself by first/last name. I think that a professional group such as ours is for those who value the content of messages and the exchange of thoughtful comments. And as such, folks should identify themselves - at least in closing a message for goodness sake. If one doesn't want to own their comments, then they shouldn't post them!!! I can't wait till I'm in a meeting and am introduced... Laura, I'd like you to meet address and sitting next to him is fft2001. To me, *not* identifying oneself by name is rude and inappropriate - at least for this group. Just my .02 cents. Thanks again Charlie for your kind message, and for identifying yourself! g.

Hi Laura, I don't think anyone is really trying to be rude. Forums tend to be a bit less formal, and many people just dash off a note without identifying themselves. I'm certain some deliberately hide their identity, but surely they are a very small minority. I wish everyone would sign their names, too, but it probably isn't going to happen, even with most email clients offering signature blocks, so I just put up with that to get all the great information and wisdom which can be found here.

Re: [U2] PICK Systems Administrator position
I've known Joe since the 90's and he does know what Pick is. I've worked through him or on a job found by him twice in the past. I agree that the database platform would be an interesting piece of the puzzle. :) I'm guessing that he's coming at it from the point of view of a Pick programming job, where if you know one pick you can probably work at any other pick site (and it was nice of you to prod him into the right direction regarding what a system admin would need to know.) I'm also guessing that he knows enough about Universe/Unidata to be on the right list. Or not, and at this point I'll let him speak for himself and bow out. :) Ron Ron Walenciak The Software Design Group -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Tony Gravagno Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 5:06 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] PICK Systems Administrator position From:Joseph Chelston I'm just trying to limit competition from other recruiters by not disclosing too much information on this forum. I apologize if this is a problem for anyone. I'm just trying to find good candidates and I know they are on this forum. I would offer that at this point we don't even know if you're in the right forum. Could you at least offer the identity of the database platform hosted by your client? Seriously, if you said contact me about a SQL job or I need a programmer don't you think you'd get the same kind of response as you've elicited here. The Pick industry is much deeper than you seem to know - it's not all just Pick. You're not representing your client well but this situation can be salvaged productively and perhaps for you profitably. Here are the main issues so far: - We don't know what database your client has. It might not be U2. You say PICK Systems which may actually be for a platform called D3 from the company formerly known as PICK Systems. - Lack of a website for BSGStaffing makes you look like a scammer. Obviously you used to have some site and you have an email server. Otherwise you personally have created a credibility problem for yourself, but again this can be remedied. - Asking for a system administrator is like asking for someone who can use a pencil. We all qualify, so what are the differentiators. Here are some skills that differentiate Pick people: Java, .NET, System Builder, RedBack, FlashCONNECT, Quibic, Temenos Banking, Avante/Dataflow/Manfact, Promax ... Insert the name of any MV industry software package or platform-specific tool. - Knowing the software is one thing but a sysadmin who knows the nature of the specific business is much more valuable than someone who doesn't. Is this banking, retail, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, a medical practice? I could go on (as many here would attest). You've jumped into a forum completely unprepared. Drop me a note and I'll try to help you and your client to better craft your message - or at least to get it to the right audience. Hopping into my business shoes here, you're supposed to be providing value to your client and you expect to be paid for it. I will be happy to send you in the right direction on a pro-bono basis just to keep our colleagues here from getting further annoyed, but if you want more help in getting the right candidate for the position, I'll have the same expectations of fee for service as you have yourself. You can decide after some exchanges if you want to go in that direction. If you don't know how to approach this market and you don't want to get some help to do so, then I recommend you find a different market to offer your services.

Re: [U2] Ultimate on a pc, was Pick History et al
I was involved with a company that ran Ultimate on a pc. The pc used the MSDOS OS to actually do the disk reads and writes, I believe, so there were no compatibility issues (any hard drive that ran on the pc ran for us, too, in a partition located on most of the disk.) A friend of mine had a company that used them for store cash registers. There was also a back-office pc in each store for stock receipts, etc, and at night we pulled data from the stores using Ultilink, producing daily, weekly and monthly reports for the companies involved as a service, and pushed pricing and sku/size/color/description data down. He had some nice customers, mostly women's fashions in outlet malls. Liz Claiborne was one. I believe it was a short experiment; as I recall, Ultimate felt that there wasn't enough profit in selling a pc (and it was just about as time consuming as selling a DEC minicomputer.) Sorry, I know it's not U2, but I figured I'd follow the Ultimate thread.
