No mates, this is not another post on sub-prime mortgages or how the hunger for housing investment has taken the building sector into trouble. It’s just a way of introducing my new role in life and professional career; recently I moved from Brazil back to old Spain, moved from my old job and company to other milestone in my roadmap. It’s a way of introducing a very simple technique I recently used, as well. Let’s see.

I’m in the process of locating a geographical site (don’t need to get more details) and although all of us were very sure where we needed it I decided to double check by means of a facility location program (specifically, the Fermat-Weber Problem), and using Google Earth for establishing the coordinates. Bull’s Eye!. Just where we thought!.

PD. It’s like a high school application, however I’m very excited since is my first real-world professional application of OR. Let’s go ahead!!!.

Last news: Google’s looking for engineers willing to work in the new Moon R&D Center!!!. A Campaign even better than that one of the “e” number (back in 2004).

Cheers Google!

Are you an economist or an operations resarcher?. Anyway, even if you aren’t send me your name and e-mail address and I’ll send you an invitation to get one of the blooming GMAIL account invitation.
