Since college I've worked mostly in MS shops... either C# or VB.net (heh..)
First job was working on this guy

Lots of great people working there... Only real regret is I didn't get to work on any of the other projects they had in the oven while I was there.
I just got another job with a company that makes large scale sorting machines doing a variety of work... I recently visited one of the installations in the field also. I must say very cool and very large machines
Its predominately database driven software as well as interfacing with industrial controls. I may end up designing controller boards for some of their newer designs at some point as well which all is pretty rewarding IMO.
Oh before I forget.... I'm here for anything Sun Microsystems related
a friend introdueced me to them in college so I started collecting them and seeing what all I can run on them. Currently I'm having a go at updating Gentoo/Sparc32 to run on my sparcstations

. If you try it out ... beware the dragons
notably you have to use ld.gold rather than ld.bfd otherwise gcc compiles crash... and my livecd uses an older kernel so the toolchain I have is gcc 4.5.3 + binutils 2.20 so I'll get around to building with a newer kernel at some point.
