Hi guys, I was a student until 2002 when I got my higher national diploma in Software Engineering. I now work in Computer aided design/manufacturing making amusement machines for companies like SEGA, JPM, Electrocoin etc. I also do some web development work for my father's company.

I'm 22, hobbies: PC games, weight training, DC (of course), and trying... to keep up with the new development languages and technologies! :twisted:

Well, I liked my car until after I went outside and noticed this...

They took my cd player, my amp, my 2 subwoofers, my eyeglasses and my cds. I have 60/40 split folding rear seats. The amp was on the 60 portion, so they decided to take my 60 portion of my leather seats. 800 bucks just for the seat.

I bet it was someone you know that has a grudge against you. The reason I say that is why else would they bother with the eyeglass or seat.

My age scares me! Suffice it to say I've got kids older then most of ya'll. As you can see from the language, I'm from Texas. I love computers (as long as they work!). I work for one of the largest energy producing and transmission companies in Nort America, and I do what's called desktop support. In Houston we have about 1500 people and it's my job (as well as five other people) to make sure they're not down from software and/or hardware problems.
A word of caution... For 16 years I was a master plumber doing commercial construction (mostly hospitals and schools), but I got tired of always buring up in the heat or freezing in the cold. So I changed careers and after a year of electronics at a local Jr. college, I went to work for Compaq. At the time my favorite hobby was computers. What I discovered was that you can quickly ruin a good hobby by deciding to make a living from it. I've never looked at computers the same way since. The wonder and awe that I used to feel when I cracked open a case has been replaced by disgust at all the dust and lint that so quickly collects in them. Sorry, I just wanted to tell everyone what I do, I didn't mean to ramble on so. But I still love computers!
