I'm wondering now if we've ever spoken to eachother in the course of our professional duties.

Chances are we have. But I'm not going to ask you here who you work for!* If we meet at a press conference let me know.

I would imagine that at least some of the people on here would be able to find out where you're posting from using all kinds of reverse IP trickery if you post from work

I guess so. My identity is very thinly disguised in fairness.

I think we can lock the thread. I officially have the worst job on boards.

Van driver...:( (but with a conscience). Ah, just ban me now.

Well, at least with all the software/IT people, the interesting thing is that I suspect most of us know people that we all work with, or may even have worked with each other at some point. It's a small industry in Ireland !

Explosive_Cornflake

I'm a Network Engineer, for eh, we'll call it "Security" on mobile networks. Loads of travel, too much, so I'm in ****e countries most of the year missing my bikes. Hopefully change job soon and devote a lot more time to cycling.

Yeah, it's a tiny lil group of folk alright, makes it handy for moving jobs though

Work as a Health and Safety officer for a company in north midlands. Only ten minutes from home but I get to travel around the country to different locations which is good.

Can I say - this is an interesting thread, good to get some idea what people do for a living as names are now familiar even though I haven't met most of ye.

Danbo!

3D modeling/animating/visualization in an architectural practice.... but of course, keeping with the thread I also take care of IT within the company!

Also might explain why some of us are so active during the day, whereas others are more nocturnal.

I suppose i can't just lurk. I'm a network planner.

nerd cyclists rule the internetz

Since I lurk more than I post here....

Engineer. As in, infrastructure, roads etc. Still aiming to move to the structural field sooner or later.

Gavin

Come on out lurkers and serial non-registered readers, now is the chance to register and say hello!

I too am a bit of a nerd. I like to build the odd computer from time to time. I'm a mechanical engineering graduate, doing a research masters in bioengineering which has seen me use a bit of Tcl and VTK over the last 2 years.

I want to move back to the regular cycling threads, this one upsets me...

Ciaran500

There's a pattern here.

Also a nerd currently doing a degree in building services engineering although I not one of you filthy roadies. I ride a manly bike, on manly terrain.

Good lord this is a nerdy forum! Next time I'm trying to spot a Boards cycling group it'll be the poindexter glasses and nerd satchels I look for before the jerseys!

I'd prefer not to answer that due to privacy concerns.

It's quite ironic actually; the stereotypical geek is a donut-munching, coke-swilling walking heart-attack. Yet at least 80% of the posts in this thread to date are IT folk!

Junior

I'm currently changing jobs, I'll be working as a Field Service Engineer for a South East IT Firm. Studying for my MCSE at the moment, along with building a house so cycling has taken a bit of a back seat lately.

HR in a software company, I get to pretend I know what the nerds are talking about!
