What does everyone do ?

Gavin

I didn't realise, but from reading the Wicklow 200 thread, it looks like lots of people here are computer nerds !

Is this the case ?

I am a raging computer nerd, doing research in network security. What does everyone else do ?

(idle off topic question for the day)

Bambaata

I'm the Facilities Officer for Croke Park Stadium.

TinyExplosions

I'm a horrid nerd too, working as a Software Dev with a company that does travel software (sadly I can't get cheap flights!)

peterk19

Nope, it's the young upstart company that stole half their staff it would seem

It would appear that he's famous...

Watch out for his story of shrapnel in the knee. Anyway ! Back on topic for all the non travel software people !

kenmc

Software too. Currently embedded, moving to a startup doing more application level stuff in 3 weeks.

Bicyclegadabout

Mostly accounts. Hate it. Also: typing the € symbol for people, resizing cell boxes, doing mail merges and any other stuff that people who get paid four times more than me are unable to do in Microsoft Office. I understand the mysteries of Vista, oooooooh!

Yeah, I'm bitter.

cantalach

I'm the übernerd at a tech startup. C# has been my thing for the last four years but I would have been C++ on Win32 for years prior to that.

Chips Lovell

I'm part of the vast worldwide liberial media conspiracy.

irishmotorist

I'm a bit of nerd too - IT support/systems management etc.

It's funny. If asked a few years ago what my hobby was, it would have been computers. Now, it's cycling. You never lose touch with your inner nerd though - he's always there trying to figure out how things work.

studiorat

Recording Engineer.
Top of the range geek! Have cycled bicycles around most of the top studios in the country. I try do it in each place I visit.

sooty11

software test manager.

daymobrew

Build guy for GNOME team at a place in East Point.
I have 16 points on GNOME's bugzilla. It seems to be a decent number, though completely irrelevant.

Ah, so you're a build guy...I guess that explains the 'gratuitous Perl'. My build guy from the last place would have used Python

Caroline_ie

I'm a Financial Fraud Investigator ... beware ( maybe I should'nt say that on here )

unionman

Long time career gypsy, I found my inner geek and put him in charge.

In-house press officer, I spend most of my day hunched over the laptop looking like this - :mad: - Hence the need to ride a bike...

Great job though, love it.

BUACHAILL

Interesting. Im a Internal Fraud Analyst (in a telecoms company). And a physio therapist in training. 2 and a bit years left to do in that

Quigs Snr

Another nerd. Or at least I used to be. Used to be a Software Engineer (contractor and then later with a large multinational). Now manager of a software division of a fairly large multinational.

Boring eh ? Still at least it pays for fancy wheels, carbon bits and pieces and boards.ie jerseys. If only they'd leave me alone long enough for me to train enough to migrate beyond mere survival with the odd flash or result, to being actually good on a bike !

I'm wondering now if we've ever spoken to eachother in the course of our professional duties. Been a while since I've spoken to a union though.
