Computers and country music?  Is that allowed? (The few minutes listened to were good, just don't tell my friends I said that.  They cannot comprehend that I grew up listening to country.)

As for myself I am a staff member in a university chemistry department.  My technical title is LAN Administrator but I deal with anything from web pages to hand-holding.  If it involves computers, people call me about it.  Occassionally I get to put my chemsitry knowledge to work, which is nice seeing as that was the field of my first degree.  Being able to blend the two (Computers and chemistry, is that allowed!?  tongue) is enjoyable for me.

I just turned 33 and am in a relationship, but never married and without kids.  We are both heavy gamers, so we have our own gamer-widow support group.  We meet whenever the internet connection goes down and no good single-player games are out.

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

I'm a producer in a glass fishbowl called the Seven News Centre in downtown Sydney. We're Australia's biggest TV network, our programming is similar to ABC in the US but we use the NBC News theme music, and we have just married Yahoo: http://www.yahoo7.com.au

In my holidays I usually travel overland in other countries, mostly by bicycle (about 13,000km of it so far). It's freedom, it's slow enough to smell the roses/roadkill, but fast enough to see plenty.

At 35 I am old enough to have also had a career in IT journalism. In the 1990s I was geek.famous as features editor of the biggest computer magazine in Australia, but the whole time I was wishing for a job in mainstream journalism. Nowadays I am mainlining mainstream.

Hey!

I'm pretty much a lurker around here, but I'll give some output;

I'm twentythree, residing in Iceland. I moved here because I was bored with Oslo (Norway). And, it's been semi successfull. Horrible to start with (had to work in a storage with some Vietnamese), I was working three jobs at the same time in the middle of my WOW addiction. Well, now I work as an commercial editor/web maintainance guy for a film company here. I'm not learning alot about drama, but more on how to sell a product and make people laugh. It's pretty neat, since I'm in <<The Comfort Zone>>, in six months I'll be living in London and study, and in twenty years I'll still be sitting in a caravan somwhere in Colombia, making artzy games for my five man fan-club.

Ten thumbs up!

indeed?

I met with EVEs Technical Art Director (I think it was), and had a chat with him. But I've never been into EVE so he sounded pretty; "Meeeeeh...". I wouldn't have minded, but tthey had just recruited alot of new QA's, and since I'm moving away this autumn they weren't really that keen on hiring me.

Thinking back, I still have the 50day promo card he gave me... Maybe it's time to check it out?

Of course he's talking about food.  After living in Iceland on cod for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, all you want to talk about is other peoples food.  Hell, if I lived in Iceland, I'd be tempted to eat an entire Vietnamese family!

Code monkey for a not for profit publicly funded research/community support project.

Working on make a lat move over to an ultra low power CMOS research project starting up in a few months (Mmm, post grad work in a commercially relevant engineering subject, how rare is that?).

Now 34 and as of May 15th will have finished a major portion of my lat move and be working doing CMOS VLSI design for #71 on the Fortune 500.  I think this will be MUCH more interesting than web forms and database apps.  There is a bottle of Glenlivet at home that keeps calling my cell phone, wants me to come over and drink it.  I think I will have to oblige.
