I'm a financial advisor for a German financial group.

Come to think of it, there has to be a lot more brainpower among us than between the current "Amiga-Delaware-Inc-people"...

Anyone interested in a Hostile-Community takeover?! ;-)

Graphic Artist for a well-known game development company. It used to be a very enjoyable "career", well paid and creative but things are changing rapidly. The next-gen pipeline for consoles such as the PS3 and xbox is soul destroying and the idea of individual creativity and general "work fulfillment" is rapidly becoming a thing of the past(many working on these platforms will understand what I'm saying)

Fire Alarm Systems Distributor which for me means, Servicing, Inspecting, Programming, preparing all necessary AutoCad Drawings and paperwork for permit, sales techinical evalutaion, secretary, coffee maker, vacuum cleaner runner etc.    And yes I can say whatever swear word I want and look at Porn on the computer all day if I want to. But these don't feed me so I learned that I can take care of myself which leads me spending most of my time wondering why all the BS we wade through on a daily basis is REALLY necessary?

Lean Manufacturing Zealot

If your factory has not started using lean principles yet, you could save at least 25% on labour, space and rework.

Before that I built my own house. http://202.78.156.93/newhouse/newhouse.html

Software development here. I do embedded development as well(hardware and software). Lots of different languages, lots of different platforms. 10 years of doing this and just about every project requires me to learn something completely new, does it ever end?

I'm an Electronic/Electrical Graduate Engineer working on reliability improvement design on new trains in the UK as posted before in this thread, but unfortunately previously removed due to over zealous application of the rules by the moderators. I do not consider that I broached any regulation to get my original post removed, and no reason was supplied for the removal of my post. Not happy  :madashell:
