I'm working at 1-800-Free-411, a company that's moving through it's post-startup, not yet a midsized company phase.<p>The company is actually a lot of fun to work at. The product is useful to a lot of people (Advertisement supported 411 Directory Assistance), and it's a great place to work, learn, and play.<p>What I like best about the company is that it has a very high engineer to manager ratio ;) That's always one of my metrics when looking at new companies.<p>Before that, I worked at Irrational Games (now 2k Games), as the IT manager of the US and AUS offices, working on Bioshock and other games.

I work as the IT manager in a distribution company in Trinidad in the West Indies. I've built the company LAN from scratch, with Windows/Red Hat/Slackware/VMware virtual servers/thin clients and the company intranet with Apache/PHP/FreeTDS. We program reports directly in PostScript just for the hell of it. I fall asleep every day in my office and deal of escaping to an all-UNIX environment, just me and a room full of servers. Lord, I hate Windows!

I alternate between being a freelance programmer and a lighting designer for a band. A project I'm working on fuses the two; I'm writing better lighting control software.

I work from home as an ATG (www.atg.com) Architect. At the moment there is a ton of demand, which lets me do things like work from home. I work on side projects and startups as much as time permits.<p>I love working from home. My stress level has dropped immeasurably since I left the office buildings of AT&#38;T. No commute, no politics, no spending 5 hours/day trapped in a small conference room. My happiness, health, and waistline have all benefited from the change. Granted some folks can't work effectively from home, but I've found that since I generally really love what I do, it's easy for me to be productive without oversight.

I'm working for Truviso, a startup in the Valley. We're building a data stream management system on top of PostgreSQL -- essentially taking PostgreSQL, and giving it the ability to evaluate SQL over live streams of data in addition to static tables.<p>(BTW, we're always looking to hire good hackers -- send me mail if interested.)
