They've not installed that yet, but I've got the book.

That's it, its the book that counts, as long as you can answer those interview "trivial pursuit" questions.

In the Eighties a mate of mine wrote the software for, and installed, a system that weighed pigs as they trundled along a kind of monorail immediately after being slaughtered. To get into the room where the two PCs sat (one was the fallback, as they couldn't stop the pigs if the first one crashed) he had to wait until a carcass came by, steaming heavily where it had just been sliced down the middle so all the guts could fall out, then dart by before the next one came along three seconds later

Good cheap meat in the factory shop though

NotAllThere,

without wanting to split hairs on the .Net subject, xi does not formally exist anymore.

xi is now pi which is part of end to end process integration.
...

No. XI and Workflow make up PI*. You should know that already. Not that I care, I'm BI with both ABAP and Java.

* Actually, if you can show me some .Net documentation that supports you're view, I'll happily admit I'm wrong. I just can't be bothered to verify my view.

but you know this already :-)

...I've this strange idea that we've met sometime...

I've always pictured him as more of a Frank Spencer

I see him more as a Norman Wisdom type.

So they've rebadged XI or you've changed hats ? It's all .Net in the end, toot toot !!!

XI is now part of PI. The other bit of PI is workflow.

Was chatting to someone who implemented the .Net planning processes at one once. They can use over 98% of the pig allegedly.

There's no pig product in cat or dog food. That's because we use all of the pig ourselves.

alright dinosaur,

if you have xi on your cv change it to pi otherwise you'll look like a dipstick

I won't be changing hats until the customers change to some other super form of .net at which time all of us parasites will be changing hats en masse

and cross training into the next toot toot gravy train :-)

Milan.

It needed rebadging as it has a bad name, a mate who sells s/w for IBM targetting XI boxes says it's one mess after another. I won't be chasing XI jobs, CBA, unless times are tough then I'll rebadge as required, I've got that many 'specialist' CVs I can't keep track of them anymore.

BBC two show showing how animals are killed was quite interesting. Nice to know where you meat comes from.

[Sockpuppet]

There may be a meeting in a company abattoir I may need to attend tomorrow.

Not sure how I am feeling about that to be honest.

I used to work in one. Although we did beasts (why they didn't just call them cows I don't know) and sheep. Pigs came in dead we just cut them up.

You won't get anywhere near the killing floor - not unless you are willing to spend 30 mins dressing for the occasion.
