  1. Okay Lincoln/Omaha/Kearney folks, anyone know of any companies looking for a Business Analyst with IT experience? Got my house ready to sell, now I just need a gig so I can move the family to Nebraska.

      I did not know that, interesting.

      Yup, found that out by interviewing for a remote position with Hudl. Great perks, but they're really low on the pay scale. Great gig for kids coming right out of college though.

      Depends on the position you're looking for in Hudl. I know some people who have taken higher up positions and are getting paid quite well. I also know 'content' people who aren't making much.

      If you like original novelty-songs I suggest giving Wheeler Walker's youtube channel a try, he's a little more risqué than Weird Al but it's good stuff.

      @Danimal thanks, I’ll check it out. 

  3. So...has anyone heard of this Onion-esque, Nebraska-centric faux news site before?:

      I'm impressed that someone in San Fran has such a handle on what goes on in Nebraska.

  5. DirecTV Now Streaming TV service is $10/mo. for three months for their base package--good enough to watch 63 of the NCAA Tournament games. 

    https://deals.kinja.com/stream-every-ncaa-tournament-game-for-10-with-this-dir-1823707519

    Great price if you already have a streaming device and want to try out the service.

      @knapplc Minimum two years of indentured servitude.

    3. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @Enhance Incorrect. You can cancel any time after the three months are up or during the three months, penalty free. You're probably thinking of terrestrial DirecTV.

    4. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @knapplc they also have the Apple TV 4K deal going on as well--prepay three months of service at regular price, get an Apple TV 4k 32GB sent to you for "free".

       

      And with this package too, you can cancel any time after your three prepaid months are up.

  6. I don't know what I'm more excited for: Avengers 3: Infinity War or the Spring Game.

  7. Heads up: eBay has a 20% off anything coupon for today only, $100 max.

    This coupon works on all specialty stores too, including Best Buy, Dyson, etc. Hell of a good deal if you shop there.

      Thanks for this btw. I wound up getting a few shirts and some kicks after the GF talked me out of a nice new TV.

  14. The whispers around Microsoft buying EA, Valve, and/or PU (along with other game companies) are deafening.

      HuskerInLostWages

      Difference is EA is looking for xbox exclusives and EA is multi platform games.  This will not benefit them as they would lose the licensing from the NFL, NHL etc if they were to lock them into just the Xbox.  Valve is all PC so they could pick and choose the exclusives from there and PUBG could easily be made into an exclusive.

    3. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      You meant Microsoft right? And yeah, they’re looking for exclusives. And Madden and FIFA could easily become exclusive, and as long as Microsoft guarantees a set level of profit/royalties it’s all good. 

       

      Then again, look at Minecraft and Mojang—they could buy EA, and keep pumping out FIFA and Madden multiconsole, but make everything else exclusive. Battlefield, Anthem, Star Wars KOTOR 3, Dragon Age...all could go exclusive no problem 

    4. HuskerInLostWages

      HuskerInLostWages

      I did mean MS, yes.

       

      As for exclusive the franchises I mentioned above will never happen, NFL contract even states will be on all platforms simutaneously and I'm sure the NHL and FIFA have similar licensing contracts (former IT guy at a company EA screwed over that made C&C).  Some of their IP, yes they could but the majors not so much.

  15. Wow...you can tell who the old-school, anti-expansion B1G folks are on these BTN broadcasts. You’d think our basketball team  was last in conference and playing at Iowa considering how much they gushed over Iowa tonight. :-|

  16. BTN’s Dave Revsine has been off the air lately...now we know why:

      Very scary. My brother-in-law as well as a colleague/friend had Bell's Palsy.  Hopefully, it will run its course quickly and he will be back on the air without any residual symptoms.

      My sister had Bells Palsy when she was in her early 20's. She was a good sport about it but it took several months for her face to regain full control. I remember she even had to sleep with an eye patch because she couldn't close her eye at all.

      I just found out a friend of mine has it and its been a year and she is still trying to get full control of her face muscles. Wish him the best!

  20. Question--how's the IT job market in Lincoln/Omaha looking these days? I've heard conflicting reports from the friends I've talked to back home about the job market up there...and I've given serious consideration to moving back to Lincoln if I can find gainful employment.

      Thanks everyone. I’m in the development and process side of things as a Senior Business Analyst for IT...so while I don’t directly code, I work on project/process/problem management for all the different groups involved with hardware/software deployments, from PCI/SOX compliance, Operations, Marketing, and Tech Support (among others). 

       

      In short, I wear enough hats day to day to start my own haberdashery.

    3. Minnesota_husker

      Minnesota_husker

      Very familiar with the BA side. There are jobs out there. I suggest looking at a place like Lincoln Financial Group in Omaha. Plenty of contract work out there as well or some full time. Shoot me a message if you want some connections. 

      To answer your question there is some work in that realm. Not bubbling over like it is for Developers but I bet if you put your nose to the grindstone you could find something in 2-4 months.

    4. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      @Minnesota_husker thanks, I'll take you up on that offer in the very near future, if that's alright with you?  

       

      And thanks everyone for the info. This would be a big move for my family if I can pull it off--a big, yet positive one I would hope. Public schools are decidedly better in Nebraska than in Texas, so I'd primarily be doing this for my kids.

      And season tickets.

  22. So...if Nebraska fans have to choose between going to K.C. for the Volleyball NC match or a non-conference basketball game vs. Kansas in Lincoln...the fans will choose Volleyball, right?

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I'm guessing we'll be very well represented at both venues. My choice would be a bit of a trip to KC.

      Already had tickets for the basketball game.. I'd imagine they'll do a nice job of updating throughout the game.. Hopefully

      That's what it sounds like, to be honest. Sad that we continue to march backwards while the rest of the world marches forward.

      +1 to ZRod.  I've ridden in both the XC90 (SUV) and S90 (comparable to the Audi A6) both vehicles are fantastic.  The fact they are incredibly safe is an added bonus.

      Did not say it was a bad thing.. Volvo did get away from making "boxy" cars, just like DC went to having trailers.  I always wanted a Volvo. Tested the Audi Q7...went with another high end

      True. They did keep the box grille and overall chunky shapes though. 

  25. *looks up* Nebraska at #3 MSU, the same MSU team that looks better than half the NBA teams? When is opening day for Baseball again?
