    <p>I've been working as a professional web developer since about 2004. Having no college education I began teaching myself software development around 1997, when I first started with C/C++. Although early on I dabbled in x86 assembly, Visual Basic, and ASP, my professional experience is currently with PHP and Java (along with the related web technologies such as HTML/CSS/JavaScript, jQuery, JSP/JSTL, and Spring).</p> <p>I currently run my own software development company called <a href="http://www.awnry.com" rel="nofollow">Awnry Software</a>, which produces the <a href="http://naw.awnry.com/" rel="nofollow">News &amp; Weather app</a> for Android&trade;, provides freelance and consulting services to small businesses, and contributes to a number of open source projects, such as my <a href="http://plugins.jquery.com/picklist/" rel="nofollow"><code>jquery-picklist</code> plugin</a>.</p> <p>Until very recently I was working as a "real-time Java Solutions Developer" at <a href="http://acxiom.com/" rel="nofollow">Acxiom Corporation</a>, a leading "enterprise data, analytics and software-as-a-service company." My team used Java and related technologies to build and maintain real-time solutions &mdash; specifically web-based apps and services &mdash; for the company's many clients. At the end of October 2013 I left the company to focus on my projects at <a href="http://www.awnry.com" rel="nofollow">Awnry Software</a>; specifically the <a href="http://naw.awnry.com/" rel="nofollow">News &amp; Weather app</a>.</p> <p>Still learning lots of new things everyday, I think the moment you believe you have nothing left to learn, you should probably go ahead and retire or find another discipline. I strive for best practices in whatever I do, but I'm also pragmatic when and where it's necessary.</p>

    1. COAnd just to clarify: NZ1 and NZ2 do not "point" to the same Netezza database/system/whatever. They point to different ones. Completely separate. From my research, I should be able to use nzsql on NZ1 to connect to the Netezza system accessed from NZ2, but I get that timeout. Could be that NZ1 and NZ2 are in different realms, I don't know. Again, not a DBA or network engineer... just a dev. :) And even though they've opened the ticket with Netezza, I still am curious as to the cause and will anticipate Netezza's response.

    2. COOh, and just an update. Our DBA has opened a ticket with Netezza since this does not seem to be a Java issue.

    3. COSorry for the ignorance; I'm totally not a Netezza person. :) Just a lowly Java dev... they thought this was Java related which was why I was brought in. As far as I know (which isn't much!), a new Netezza DB was built, and this new server, let's call it NZ2, is the host you would specify in your JDBC connection. So maybe this NZ2 is the SMP master, and a farm of workers sit somewhere. Point is, there's a new Netezza DB and connecting thru JDBC fails. I *can* connect thru nzsql when I'm on NZ2, but when I try to do the same from another Netezza box, let's say NZ1, nzsql seems to time out.
