Musician, college student.
I'm a field agent for the BATFE and I report any constitutional, anti-government, pro-liberty, or anti-Obama activities directly to the Director of Homeland Security.
If you find yourself in one of these categories, you can probably expect a "visit" within the next two weeks.[Muaha]
Support the 2nd Admendment, big government sucks, Obama sucks worse, and "Give me Liberty or give me death"! lol.Quote:

IT Security, I had mostly been dealing with vulnerability scanning but moving to a new account where I'll be involved with just about every aspect.
hahaha of course I'm kidding... but as a fellow registered Libertarian, capitalist, and gun owner, I'm sure big brother has me on several of their famous "lists" as well.. [NoEvil]Quote:

sniper7 - I remember you having quit a bit of "Learn to Fly" sort of material up on the forum not even a year ago. I copied your ad to show it to a friend at work who was looking into that training.
Congrats on the airline pilot job. He should have bought your stuff!

(As for me, see the above!)
Dr. Fwd and Marlin,
Are you guys self employed or do you work for someone else? Do you guys do remodel work or new construction? Maybe a combination of both? I'm just wondering if the job market in the Denver area is better for us construction guys than it is down here in Pueblo. I'm going to start looking in the Springs again. I hate the commute, but a guy has to go where the work is. I'm just curious about your experiences with staying employed in this economy. It's been rough on the trades in southern Colorado lately...
@GreenScout do you do framing and drywall? I have two storage rooms in my basement that are partially framed/drywalled and I'd like to get the rest of it done. Might as well give the work to a shooter who needs it.
@vim is your username like VIsual editor iMproved? I use vim on a daily basis to do all my work. I have at least three putty windows with vim open at this moment. Wasn't sure if it was this obscure text editor or initials or something... you don't meet many vi guys anymore.
Yep, that's 50%; the other 50% is from a college fight song.Quote:

Well if you know vim you know vi, right ;) I was doing HTML using pico in 1995, and they said, "We will promote you from tech support to web development, but only if you learn to use 'vi'" ... and I've been using it (or vim) every since.

I work for myself. Doing remodeling, well, we're buying the houses renew them and sell. so basically, I always have work... but I know a lot of guys who's been seating at home for two months now...Quote:

As far as the rest of them go,, I'm just a semi-pro,, Although I do seem tho have a natural talent for most anything I have tried.. Heck,, I even figured out Crown moulding,,, Didn't do too bad on it..
