That's where we're coming from. She was using my Wacom Cintiq, but she's mainly comfortable working on the couch and she needs it for elaborate line drawings, rather than paintings (she works in education). The iPad just didn't work out because she's uses a special windows software for the whiteboards. So a Win 8 tablet with a digitizer seems like the perfect match, I'm just uncertain which tablet to buy.
The 10" with an Ntrig might be a better bet because if it is more portable. Otherwise, not many win tablets still have styluses (especially the Wacom resistive kinds).
Thanks! We already tried it and she liked it so far, but unfortunately, the tablet had only Paint installed. She doesn't do hardcore art, but the sketches she draws should have a certain quality (No jiggy edges, which I heard was a problem when drawing slowly). I think I'll ask for a demo with a sophisticated drawing app next time I'm in the store. But the linked article gives me hope that this might be perfect for her work.
Here's a good test to try in the store. You can do it in OneNote.
Using a business card as a ruler, try to draw a diagonal line, slowly (a few seconds to cross the card). Unless they have fixed it recently, the Surface Pro 3 cannot draw straight lines in this way, and they will be quite jagged.
In practice, you might never draw lines in this way, but the same jagged features will pop up everywhere, especially if you draw fine shapes carefully (as opposed to large strokes sloppily).
I thought I recognized this. I wanted to work for Matasano at one point but found the CTF environment incredibly difficult if you come from a Web Dev side of things. Hopefully starfighter is different.
That's too bad, because the Matasano hiring process is actually not at all CTF-focused, and is very web-dev centric. If you're ever looking again, you should reach out to them.
I was in talks with Rusty about scheduling an interview, but unfortunately would only hear from him about once a week and then he stopped emailing back. I think this is something that needs to change, because he would ask for interviews within 3 hours of the email and then repeat the next week. This is a company I really want to work for, but it's impossible to talk to anyone.
Just thought I should let you know that the [email protected] is not a valid email address. Keep an eye out for my resume that I sent to [email protected].
