A picture of you & where you post from

Wow, if that isnt a comparison of apples to oranges I don't know what is. Nick, why don't you stack a couple of LNCPapa's towers in front of a TV and sit on it, and tell me if it feels more or less comftorable than Mr.Guvernment's couch.

Mr.Guvernment-awesome computer setup and house, just PLEASE don't tell me that it is that clean all the time. If my room was that clean I'd be afraid to 'live' in it. :)
 
My house :)

not the greatest thing in the world :)

but hey, I bought it on my own when I was 19 :)

poertner_1274, how do you manage to have a place like that, and have a WOMAN, and not have her trying to take it away from you......

That must be a special woman if she lets you have that!
 
ahaha

thnx guys for the comments, and yes my room, and house is always that clean, iam a neat freak - also we have a maid :)


as for the red X's yeah - i had mt http server off for a few hours today.

also, i would not doubt the worth of all those concoles!!! man - u are prob sitting on a small fortune with all the original boxes! time for a glass show case for those babies!

OH! - has anyone seen one of my monitors? ;)


Greeno, nice house! especially for having it when u were 19! a great investment!!
 
your house isnt bad for only being 23 there guverment... REAL NICE... if your parents didn't buy all that for you then you gotta let me in your secret :)
 
Phant...she is very understanding. She gives me trouble all the time about my computers, but she understands that they are what I enjoy playing with, etc. So she allows me to keep getting them. I'm sure that will all change once we get married (Just kidding).

But yes she is a very special girl. We get along great.
 
I'm jealous poert - quite often women seem to try to steal your joy, not understand it. Keep the ones who do!

See you around SNGX

heh, Courtney is still pretty damn cool though despite her not being as hot. (hopefully she never gets word of this thread :))
Keep in mind I don't think any of us took our best pic in that pic but thats all I can come up with at the moment.
 
No problem, I was just kidding you mighty Mod :p
Everyone has better or worse pics of theirselves, that's why it would be cool that everybody could see everybody here some day, but I think this will never happen (for some specimens, it's better this way :p)

  • Start working in Milan occasionally, doing software analysis and support (1 or 2 week trips even few months)
  • Year later have frequent trips to milan
  • Get promised Oracle and Lotus Notes certification
  • Try and seem surprised that the company forget about the certification
  • Now working 3 weeks in Milan, 1 in Scotland at home
  • Company pays for most all expsenses - house /food/TV/Hi Fi/DVD/Italian language course (in the works)

Similar but different ;)
 
only problem with your job mr.guv is that if you lose it you might have trouble finding a new job with not even a high school degree.
 
That's right :)

For me, I'm almost finished my studies (last year) and i'm 22.
I don't have any house / car / stuff lol
I learned much by myself but having structured courses is sometimes very cool too, I think. There is some things you can only learn by yourself, other that you can't discover unless somebody experienced shows you ...

That is true, now ever i have noticed that most jobs in my field seem to prefer experience over a piece of paper that says u know something, when now, with 2 years experience, mayeb better.


I guess i looked at it in a sense this job should shine on my resume, especially if i go back to toronto, the fact that a company hired me and flew me to 2 diff places and paid for everything - to me that shows that i must have some ability if a company is willing to do that.


but yeah, i am looking into some online courses, just got to find something that interest me, so i have some at least.
