Work is okay, but this is more interesting.

What kind of poster am I?

The faded sort that has seen better days, sits on a wall and used to belong to a student who has grown up and left home but his parents haven't cleared out his room yet to let it to someone else.

That's what sort of poster I am.

I'm a college student between semesters right now. Lots of free time. When school starts next week I expect to be posting even more... given I'll have a group to game with again.

My programming job is actually pretty busy ... but there's always compile & deploy time, and sometimes I just can't stare at log files and code anymore.

Massively over worked in CAD Support and the alternative to dipping in to a few online forums when I can would be a grisly office massacre.

With the added bonus that my line manager works ina different office 250 miles away...

Cheers,

Nick Middleton

I'm in IT systems admin so while servers are installing software, rebooting, formatting disks. etc I have plenty of time to surf. Half my job is surfing help forums and finding solutions anyway.

Im a combat photographer in the army and when Im not at war I sit in my office and edit pictures and video or handle paperwork for my soldiers, which provides ample time to read a forum here and there.

Plus, living in Germany right now, I pay way to much for internet at home to not use it.

Currently on sickness (more properly wound) leave because of left arm unusable.

I'm computer room manager, and when too tired installing servers (physically in addition to os) or removing them, laying power cables, connecting fibers an lan cables, tuning the UPS and cooling system, I connect to the web to see if I find way to ease my job. I use part of this small time to post.


Runequestement votre,

Kloster

I've left the City ratrace (was working in financial services web development in London) and now have a smallholding in rural Normandy and am slowly renovating an old battered farmhouse. I also spend a fair bit of time writing during the quiet times - and as this is a quiet time of year, here I am - quite a lot! Lambing season is right round the corner, though, and the planting season...
