Hello all, I finally took the big step and handed in my resignation at my employer, Alcatel Alenia Space. After 3 years of CAD, 3 years of real-time kernels, and 11 years in space telecoms, I want to return to my first love which is audio, acoustics, and music. My activities in LAD have certainly contributed to this desire. It will be at least end of september before I really say goodbye at AAS, and I have at this moment no idea at all which way I will go. Which means I'm open to suggestions. I will consider 'a real job' if it's related to acoustics, audio engineering, ambisonics, electro-acoustic music etc. For this type of thing I'm also prepared to move to France, Germany, and any of the European countries bordering the Mare Nostrum. I speak Portuguese (needs refreshing), I am currently learning Greek, and if necessary I'll add Spanish or Italian. I'm not really looking for a job as a programmer. The alternative is of course free-lance consultancy work. And if all else fails, I will be raising sheep on Crete. Anyone interested or having interesting pointers please contact me off-list. (and no, I'm not quitting LAD :) -- FA Follie! Follie! Delirio vano e' questo!
