This 
particular diary entry was made in the 1860's during a cattle drive to Abilene 
in a heat wave. If they had air conditioned cars then maybe the 
diarist would have seen it differently. 
 
Of 
course you know where the wandering cowboys of Lonesome Dove settled down... 
Montana! But at the ultimate end of the trail they did figure Texas was a 
good place for dumping the dead carcass.   :-)

It's a chain. They're in Lansing, Michigan too. I remember
them being a bit different in that you went around and
collected a dish of raw meat, or other stuff besides meat,
and they cooked it for you while you watched.

Raj,
It's "Mongolian Barbeque" and still there.  Now there's even a "Mongolian
BBQ North".

Tom,
You're forgetting that:
- In the summer it's hot.
- When it's hot, people wear less clothes to keep cool, sometimes a LOT
less.
- Austin is home to the University of Texas (almost 50,000 students at
peak, half of which are female).
Are you getting a visual at all?

100 deg. F and raining - Happens all over Texas during an afternoon summer
thunderstorm, though the rain usually cools things down a bit.


The wimps in Dallas can't complain about humidity at all.   Folks in

RE: DBA needed in Austin, TX

2003-09-25 Thread JApplewhite

100 deg. F and raining - Happens all over Texas during an afternoon summer
thunderstorm, though the rain usually cools things down a bit.

The wimps in Dallas can't complain about humidity at all.   Folks in
Houston certainly can.

Unfortunately, my wife won't let me keep even ONE of the Dixie Chicks.  I'm
trying for Sandra Bullock now. ;-)

Re: DBA needed in Austin, TX

2003-09-24 Thread JApplewhite

David forgot to mention a couple of things about working for AISD:
- We don't wear neckties (well, David does sometimes).
- We get 23 paid Holidays (how does 2 weeks off for Christmas and a week off for Spring Break sound?).
- We have an unlimited site license for Oracle EE.  I slap databases out there as needed without a second thought.
- Before he became MIS Director, David was an Oracle DBA and a UNIX Sys Admin before that, so he really understands the technology and the challenges.
- Did I mention that we don't wear neckties?

AISD's infrastructure is truly awesome.  The fiber WAN allows our widely-scattered users to connect dependably to our databases and me to push tons of data around quickly and reliably.  All the UNIX  and other servers (not to mention our Users' PCs) are either brand new or about 3 years or less old.  The oldest Oracle databases we have are 8.1.7.0.0 and we've already started upgrading to 9.2.0.4.0.  We'll be moving our only Win2k database to HP-UX in the next few months.  All the other DBs are already on either HP-UX or Linux.

We've got a couple of less-than-perfect 3rd Party COTS applications for Financials and Student Information, but we're rapidly applying Oracle features to improve them and add functionality their producers never even thought of, as well as providing Web-enabled access to our thousands of AISD users and the Community at large.  Our Developers have hardly a Duh(veloper) among them and their supervisor is top-notch, too.  An all-round great bunch of folks to work with District-wide.

I've been with AISD for 15 months - my first Public Sector gig ever - and I'm loving it.  Also, with the Economy the way it is (and will be for a while to come), this Public Sector organization is very competitive in salary and benefits with the Private Sector.  I know, I shopped around and got other offers before coming here.

Oh, and Austin being the "Live Music Capital of the World" doesn't hurt, either.  And I certainly don't want to forget the part about not having to wear a necktie!

With permission from Jared:

'Needed' is kind of strong.  We've got a position open, but we're not real
needy folks.  We're a school district.  The 37th (depending on the day of
the week) largest in the United States.  If we were a business, it'd be
pretty good-sized.  Our annual operating budget is 730 million dollars plus
(of which MIS gets a really small, tiny, little itty bit), we have 15,000
employees, 130 branch offices, our own police force and post office.  We
fix 150,000 meals a day and need to collect cash or validate for every
person through the cafeterias.  We're moving from a mainframe environment
to client-server computing with an Oracle back-end running on HPUX and
Linux for both our student data and ERP systems. It's a pretty dynamic
shop.  We've got 40 or so people (depending on the day of the week) split
into three areas, business systems, student systems and programming.  We
don't do the network piece, but that's solid - switched gigabit ethernet
running on over 300 miles of fiber with 100MB to the desktop.

I don't hire or set salaries.  HR does that.  I only recommend.  The salary
for this position will be somewhere between $60K and $80K depending on
experience (and whatever bizarre decisions are reached by the compensation
analyst).

You've got to be REAL strong in backup and recovery.  And curious.  We're
planning to go where no school district (or very few) has gone before.
Your assistance will be vital in making the investment Austin has made in
technology pay off.

If you've got any questions, please send me an email.  If you'd like to
apply, you can do so on-line at

http://www.austin.isd.tenet.edu/about/hr/search/index.phtml

Under 'classified' positions, see if you can find the DBA position.  If it
isn't there (depending on the day of the week), and you can't possibly
wait, apply for either the Programmer/Analyst or UNIX Admin position.  It
should be there sometime after 4pm CDT, or maybe tomorrow, or maybe not.
