Google Recruits At The JUG

And other stories

We had another interesting JUG meeting tonight. Naeem Bari of Agilis Systems gave an interesting talk about GPS and GIS. It all about map servers and map data and trilateralization and geodesic datum and GoogleMap API. The slides and sample code will be posted to the JUG knowledge base shortly.

Our presentation line-up looks pretty good. In the next few months, we will be covering JSF, FIT, jBPM and Grails.


Several new companies start to make their appearances at the JUG. Google came out recruiting for system administrators.

OCI and Advantage Consulting also have multiple openings. Please email Ken Totten if you are interested.


Now is time for today's multiple choice question: You are at the JUG. You want to raffle off a $25 gift certificate courtesy of Envision. You have the audience members sign up their names on a piece of paper. You need to generate a random integer between 1 and 36. And you have a laptop running Fedora Core 5 Linux with Sun JDK 5. You

  1. Try to find a Linux command that generates random numbers using man and apropos
  2. Try cat from /dev/random
  3. Open Emacs and try to write a Java program
  4. Do a Google search for the word "random" and be pointed to Random.org
  5. All of the above
