My Second Day @Yahoo!
Second day half day is again went with classes; but they are must needed for any Technical Yahoo! employee to get started. The first class, IT orientation for new hire is on how to setup and get connected to Yahoo! using laptop, vpn and wireless and accessing all intranet portals. The second class, How to be a Yahoo! Engineer is all about differet tools and packages that internal Yahoo! uses along with setting up accessing to corp UNIX boxes, exploring dev portal, internal mailing lists etc. Second class is a recommended class for all new hires, especially if you are part of technical team; but first one is must needed for all new hires.
I could not get my laptop nor desktop yet. Hopefully I might get one tomorrow. After that I need to play a bit to setup all my stuff. It is really bad that I could not yet able to read my yahoo-inc e-mails as Yahoo! does not support web based e-mail. Once I have my laptop; then I might be able to read all the stuff.
Ryan Troll gave his Windows box today till I get one, so get to login to backyard and browse though all the docs. I also subscribed to 10-12 internal mailing lists. Once I have the laptop, I need to have visual studio installed; so that I can build MySQL 5.0.X and play a bit to get started. I also got my RSA secure ID today that I needed for VPN connection.

Venu,
I am 50 years old, a public school teacher (not well paid, though have 3 college degrees) of 25 years, father of 3 children (whom I hope to financialy support through college in the near future), and, of all things - I love playing the stock market.
I own eight thousand shares of ANTS at $2.00. I hope to make a gain on this position, and the gain will go toward my need to finance my children’s college costs.
Venu, today ANTs filed a Form 8-K with the SEC that said, among other things, that the ANTs Chairman, CEO and CFO would receive a salary of $200K, in addition to certain to stock options, etc.
Venu, do YOU think ANTs is likely to land a PAYING contract in the near future? Is this “pay raise” justified in your mind?
And what, if you will explain, did ANTs mgt do on March 9th that so offended you (and your colleges)?
Thank you for your time and appreciated expertiece,
John
