Antti needs a job

That seems pretty unfair.

No dispute.

I'm sure he knows already; but Antti needs to be aware that the DATE exhibition takes place at ICM (at the Munich exhibition centre in Riem) 10-13 March. It would be a good place to be visible to lots of interesting people in the FPGA and tools business, I think.

Ask Antti if he wants to move to the northwest Los Angeles county area. I'm sure I could get him into a great company, AND, they're a very large user of Xilinx.

Thanks, Bob, for the kind offer. I tend to discourage the idea of immigrating to the U.S. (funny, coming from me as an immigrant!) because of the horrible bureaucracy and visa delay. I had its easy in

1968, but now it is a nightmare. U.S. competitiveness is bound to suffer... Peter Alfke

I have sure-fire way to cut through the bureaucracy---come via Mexico.

The real problem is the Canadians. You can't get an ice hockey job unless you were born in Canada. Bastards!

To Antti,

I have writen you an email on January (on your google mail)! Please recheck it. Contact me on laurent.gauch -AT- amontec.com. We could find a way for freelancer job from Munich. With our new UIPkey , many projects are coming!

Regards, Larry

Hi Bob and Peter,

first of all, thanks - while I could move almost anywhere, I do have two small kids (boy 6, girl 4) and the boy needs special care because delayed speech development (he talks all the time, but its really hard to understand what). This limits the options for the re-location with the family. Moving away from German spoken region, or even moving away from Munich could have bad impact on the kids. So options left for my family are either Munich area or then back home to Estonia.

I myself however could take project based jobs with up to 3 months abroad (almost anywhere where needed). Sure it would have to pay well paid jobs for me to consider be away from the family for any longer time.

I have been to US west-coast i think 12 times, but not anymore recently. But I know the visa issue, so I agree with Peter that anyone should think very carefully when planning immigration to US.

Hm.. for possible offers, I know 5 human languages equally bad English, German, Russian, Estonian, Finnish - I mean I speak them bad compared to my skills with formal languages be it programming languages or (hardware) description languages.

I could as example be useful when outsourcing projects from the "ex-UdSSR" area. There are still talented people there, and if they are "found, identified and verified to be reliable" then it could be a goldmine for some company looking for reduction of development costs. For this to work out some one knowing the region and people is almost a must have. As example I have one really good PCB designed from Ukraine that I work with, he is really a pro. But he prefers to talk in russian so I write cyrillica to him (on german keyboard) as it is easier for him to communicate so.

Antti Lukats P.S. To Peter, it's not that I am not happy, I live my live without regrets (also when failing the goals). But yes I have issues that stress me a lot, and those issues may - well the kids feel the stress. So it's about their happiness, not mine.

Than become happy

thanks, I will look.

I am right now already little happier, as the last employer did finally pay the last paycheck (with over 20 days delay)! So I paid the rent what was overdue.
