bikespace Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Bank of America network engineer - oh yes it's all very interesting stuff snore... Whenever you get junk mail from MBNA, or from Virgin, or from Alliance and Leicester, or Abbey, or god knows how many other credit cards, I've been a part of filling your doormat with ****. Whenever you ring the companies above to speak to a human, and you get an infuriating automated (IVR) to talk to instead - that's me again. When you get cold called in the middle of your favourite TV program by some annoying sales bloke - yep, I provide the connectivity for those diallers. And a few other bits and pieces that rather than annoy you would probably bore you to tears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just me on my own now but thats how I like it, not much stress and worry and Ralph comes and has a coffee most days. Workshop is only half mile from home so nice and close as well, if anyone knows Oxford, driving anywhere is a nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Student. I'm studying English with Creative Writing down here in Cornwall (I know, I was surprised I could do a degree down here as well). I've not always been a bum though, I used to work in Software Development for a fairly reputable firm in Soho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Just a nerd code monkey. C++, C# and Java. Oh, and achieving total and absolute control of the planet through the global broadcasting of subliminal brainwashing messages subtly embedded into looped episodes of "Eldorado". But that's just a weekend thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Consultant for global software firm dealing with designing solutions around data availability and regulatory compliance. Basically I design data backup, high availability (clustering, mirroring and replication of data) and archiving solutions for enterprise customers.
