G-job is American vernacular for personal projects fudged on company time:

IR repeater.

Ok, I never did that ;-)

It's _still_ not done? Man, don't make a science project out of it :-)

I may have to whip up a new antenna mast amp this Saturday. Meanin' no margaritas until I'm back off da ladder.

Well, I don't know, my clients prefer to order just about anything there. Except salt and pepper shakers, those get ordered at McMaster.

Antenna? What's that? I have a Channel Plus 8-output distribution amplifier plus a couple of Tru-Spec Channel 4 notch filters to get me

600 channels of cable plus distribute anything originating in the great room to any other set (5) in the house.

The IR repeater is to allow me to control the great room cable box and DVD player from my office ;-)

I'll get to it in a week or so... I have the IR PD's and emitters in-hand... just need to finish a paying project first ;-)

It's them thar errials on da ruff.

Cable? That's maybe what this whole DTV switch was about, to get people to succumb and buy cable service. Nope, first I'll try to get DTV to work more reliably. Analog was sooo much better.

All we need is the news and the occasional movie. The news station produces a nice square block of spectrum on the analyzer here but multipath is what kills it. Just like I had predicted years ago.

Yes, those take first spot.

A G-job is short for a Government job, so named because in those days of cost-plus-fixed-fee government contracts, an elephant was a mouse built on a cpff (pronounce see-piff).

I built some pretty nice Cessna parts while on a NASA cpff contract.

Jim

AKA "Swiss Navy job".

There you go ;-)

Yes, Gerstner saved the company after Akers did his best to drown it. In the late '80s IBM was borrowing money to pay the dividend. By '93 the story is that they were 2 weeks from missing payroll. It was ugly, but the company survived.

They still exist. When you only build one or two of a large system, they are usually bid on a quote that uses previous data to qualify cost estimates.

Today is mostly COGS though plus the quote for the job to put the COGS together and form a GEARBOX (no meaning). :-)

So COGS and Labor on a lot of stuff, but SeaPuff is likely still a bidding model in some circles. SeaPuff go... SeaPuff go really fast!

They have water spikes that take out undersea mines now fired from a helicopter. How cool is that?

Because they clung to the mainframe architecture and proprietary techniques for too long. The writing was on the wall, and they'd written it on there themselves by introducing the XT. Just like GM. They introduced the EV-1 a long time ago, then pulled back out for whatever reason. If there really was a reason other than lack of corporate guidance. Now they are teetering on the edge and Toyota eats their lunch, building partially electric vehicles.

Yeah, but you're a freak. ;-) ;-) ;-)

Stuffing dollars into the stripper's G-string? ;-D

The FDA, the FAA and others love us documentation-freaks. So do my clients because my stuff usually just sails right on through :-)

They didn't have much choice. PCs were going to go mainstream whether IBM did it or not. PCs paid for themselves as mainframe terminals, alone. There was a time where IBM was in a cost crunch between microprocessors and balls-to-the-wall ECL. Companies were done paying $20M+ for a computer, but the technology wasn't there yet to make them cheaper (it is now). IBM had to remake itself and it took Gerstner to change IBM into a "services" company - and fast.
