I just found out that the AF is moving to Qlikview for use as their training system analysis tool. It's looking like the software I'm working on right now is going to be migrated to Qlikview...
Here's a funny coincidence - The words "Camaro" and "Qlikview" both show up as misspelled words in web browsers and MS word. That's appropriate....

And AF stands for April Fool ?

Unfortunately not...

It's because they heard you had experience with Qlikview.

Well at least its not "Crystal" reports.

I had a co-worker who wrote the module to connect Qlikview and our system...

first time I read it I saw Quickview (small acct system) 2 thoughts came to mind: "Huh?" and "Well that's brave."
Then I re-read and saw Qlikview (what a terrible name, Kwi-lick???), reduced it to 1 thought: "That's really brave."

Fun fact; In german it is sometimes called the Lustwaffe, which directly translates to lust force.

I was a programmer for the USAF and stationed in Germany. I never heard that one but there was a street near one of the neighboring Army bases nicknamed 40 Marks Strasse because that was what the ladies charged.

Could be true for germany - Should've specified that I'm talking about the SAF[^]. I'm still serving as a captain-ranked specialist officer (OF-2) within command support, so there's a bit of self-mockery involved in what I said.

Does it have an API? I'd like to mount it to my roof, get a raspberry pi, and let my new AI code have fun.

I doubt it.
OTOH, that looks like a nice weekend project. You'd need a para-axial camera (for taking shots of your kills), and some good high-torque stepping motors (for the slewing), but it's nothing that a serious hobbyist couldn't handle.

The first test with that machine was more fun; showed how they blew out the front window.

I'm one.
Attempted to be a 2nd grade teacher in 1988-89. Was double plus not good at it. Went back to college for CS degree.
Been paid to do programming since Nov 18, 1991.

I worked as a chemist for 13 years, but programmed on the side (self taught). I got bitten by the programming bug back in the early 80's and when I found myself programming at work in the lab, it grew from there. The job market for chemists in the late 90's was shrinking and the pay wasn't great and it was at the same time as the .COM bubble, so I went into consulting. The rest, as they say, is history.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

I spent 10 years as an Environmental Chemist and switched to programming while I got my CS degree. 20+ years now writing code.

Fifteen years as a pharmaceutical industry chemist. Loved the first year of each job; hated the repetitive nature of the job (and the low pay) after that. I was tricked into technical writing by an old girlfriend (eight years of technical writing), then software QA for ten years and now back to technical writing.
