Apologies for the Spam Comments

Apparently someone got a hold of a Chinese spam-producing software and used it to target this blog. Blogger doesn't have features for editing/deleting comments en masse, so I won't be able to remove them from the posts. Hopefully they do not interrupt your browsing experience :-)

I've turned on comment moderation for older posts and enabled some other features that should prevent such spam from occurring in the future. I guess the good part is we made it almost five years without such an attack :-)

#2 With a Bullet

Hope ya’ll don’t mind a little horn-tooting!

In a Glassdoor.com survey, NI’s been named the second-best tech company to work for, coming in behind Juniper at #1 and Google at #3!

Can’t say I’m surprised :-)

If you look at the site’s overall company ratings, we come in at #13, just behind Kraft. If only we had the power of mac & cheese, we’d be better than they are, I know it …

Who Writes Here

Edited 1/23/2009 by Ryan:

I'm really the only person posting to this blog now, so I've removed the information about the other people. I also updated my information.

Ryan Pollack (Staff Technical Writer)—I've been working as a technical writer/supervisor at National Instruments for over four years. Currently I design, write, and edit documentation for the LabVIEW FPGA and Real-Time Modules. I also supervise other technical writers for these products.

I graduated Virginia Tech in 2003 with a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies. I spent all of 2008 living and working in Shanghai, China. In my spare time I improve my photography skills, create electronic music, write articles for several local/national magazines, stay current on technology trends, and enjoy the wonderful city of Austin.
