Recently I saw a mob in Adelaide (I know, I know) doing cool things with computational intelligence

Curious minds would like to know more. I know of two companies in Adelaide doing stuff that could be called this and I'm interested which you saw (or other). Email's fine if it isn't appropriate here.



These guys:

http://www.solveitsoftware.com/

They do stuff with all the cool toys. Fuzzy logic, neural nets, evolutionary algorithms ...

They have a competition for students (edit: actually it looks like anyone can enter) at the moment. First prize is ostensibly $5,000 but what they're really looking for is potential employees.

Yep, I guessed it must be them.

They aren't exactly a startup though - been around quite a while I think.

I was with these guys for a while, who played in an adjacent space: http://www.intelligentsoftware.com.au/


Adelaide is too small. Worked at Tomorrow Studios with Dom (Intelligent Software) and took Matthew's (Solve IT) Innovate SA course (which is superb btw).


I worked with Dom from late 2010 to mid 2011 (at Tomorrow Studio too).

I'm thinking of all the people who's names I knew at Tomorrow Studio for anyone who was "pm" (if you had your name on your info I might know if I knew you.. :))


Paul from No Prisoners. I think I might've talked to you about Lua scripting at some point, since I think that's what you might've been doing.

We were the iPhone peeps.

EDIT: Wait, we moved out at the end of July 2010, so I must be thinking of the other programmer who was there. Don't remember his name now.


God HN has grown - few Adelaide users on here now.


How do you guys cope with being in Adelaide? I have a sister stranded there, her husband works for some mob doing Moodle work.

OMG that never gets old!!!! Adelaide is Adelaide. It isn't Sydney or Melbourne, but it's not a rural backwater either - quite a lot of interesting stuff happens here.

Netspot?


I think so. Not sure. This officially makes me a terrible brother in law.

As for Adelaide. You guys seem to have more funeral homes than churches. Surely that's a sign.


Melbourne does feel a whole lot more .. enthusiastic shall we say? Still Adelaide has its perks if you have the right networks, and generally a decent salary/cost balance for what that's worth. Happy to grab a drink with any HN'ers that are in/stop by Adelaide btw.
