The CIO at NTIS is trying to offload as much of NTIS's services from the HP systems that they currently use for all their large projects. Matter of fact, they host and update the IRS website, so they are definately in need of high powered web services. I am still not sure what my roles will be overall, but I am sure I will be learning a ton, which is always a good thing. Heck, I may even learn more about HP-UX so that I can help more in migration of services from the HP platforms to linux based ones. I enjoy alot of the posts here on the site.
Some people really seem like they are big time into problem solving.
I have seen some math and algorithms that have made my eyes roll back in my head. I mean, alot of stuff people are doing are way beyond my ability to judge fairly. I use quite a bit of the software that people here have contributed to in some shape or way. This in itself could be a bad thing. Not really what cert's seem to be about.
