I've been listening for a long time now actually. Haven't participated yet here on the forum though.

No, I haven't dug through the whole forum. Did do one quick search.... didn't find it... Thought I mention that, just in case

I personally am a SAP Application Developer... or a fancy phrase for a code monkey.
So, I write code all day in my office. It's fun and gives me time to listen to podcasts.

I'm just being myself. When I have time. In real life, I try to keep a team developing features and try to keep a few servers running.

No, really, ask Quintin.
Interesting story, I use a subtle mixture of peanut butter, kerosene, and a sexually repressed wolverine. I find that solves most life's little conundrums.
Actually I work in a fitness facility while continuing my computer animation degree. That old chestnut.

I work for Geek Squad doing in-home computer service. In the new year, I'll be starting a company and doing it myself. It should be very similar except we'll be you know...honest.

I used to be a copywriter for marketing agencies, now I'm a Proposal Writer for an IT consultancy agency. So basically I work on getting people like half the posters in this thread a job placement in a governmental department.
Your favourite game is over-rated.
I Write. At least, I try to, and occasionally people write me checks, so somehow it all works out. My wife writes too. We're lots of fun at parties.
