From: Jonathan Calloway ------------------------------------------------------ I worked in this job for about a year myself. I did about 6 weeks on 3rd shift once, and it was WFH. My only problem was the calls from India and China, but they were few and far between. It gave me a lot of time to read and study for cert tests! -----Original Message----- From: chugalug-bounces@chugalug.org [mailto:chugalug-bounces@chugalug.org] On Behalf Of Stephen Haywood Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2012 1:47 PM To: CHUGALUG Subject: Re: [Chugalug] Job opening in Dalton I have to hit a certain number of billable hours and accomplish certain tasks.

From: Chad Smith ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.telecompetitor.com/roku-introduces-ott-on-a-stick/ I'm not even going to pretend to know if it runs Linux or not. It's a Roku on a HDMI stick - not a USB stick, an HDMI stick. For TVs with powered HDMI - or MHL enabled ports. I have OnLive (Online Game System - onlive.com ), and they have a small, smart-phone-sized HDTV gaming console... about the same size as current Rokus / AppleTVs / etc... And Roku came out with a Game System this year. Imagine next gen game consoles with streaming media and websurfing that you don't even see because they are tiny stick on the back of your HDTV. It's like the Raspberry Pi thing, (which is auctioning off 2 of their Beta Boards, btw - raspberrypi.org/archives/489 ) - only probably more expensive than $25. *- Chad W.
