Read an interesting thread at aw.net, thought it was a good idea to post a similar thread here. Occupations...

Student... or something ;).

I'm doing Computer Science (I think that's how it should be called) at the "Universidad de Oviedo" University.

But I really waste my time in multiple things related with the university which are not studying ;).

@hooligan,

That girl has nice boots


Carn people, more replies please

@Bodie

...and what do boots have to do with your occupation???

lol, nothing (well not hers anyhow... nothing to do with occupation, but obsession ), except that in my office I have to wear a pair of Blundstone boots as proper shoes keep getting worn out every few weeks!

I'm still a bicycle mechanic by day, at Performance Cycles #20 in
Redmond, Washington. All those Microsofties come in talking about the
'portable' version of XP that 'only' needs 128MB to wake up. I laugh
a lot My OS can fit in a 32MB card with room to spare

I am a project manager for OMYA SAS, currently based in southern France. In simple terms, I build new factories for the group in the mediterranean countries.

I must say that I laugh a lot when I talk to the automation experts here, when you see the system requirements for the machines they use for plant surveillance and monitoring (which is a nice way to say that they sample data (a couple of tens of kB at most) from the plant network every half an hour, store it and display nice graphics - nothing so fancy, but between windows XP, the DB system and the stupid GUI you need 2 GB of RAM on a P4 2GHz+ to be able to display the last 24 hours).
For comparison purposes only, the real-time surveillance system that is based on a proprietary OS runs amply on a 486 SX (yeah, they are still manufactured!).

I work at Tietoenator as a Linux SW engineer doing all sorts of interesting NDA stuff

Good thing I wasted my time on lots of "not directly related to my studiess" stuff (such as studying OpenGL, SDL, Linux etc.) as that sort of became my job...

Yes, I was studying computer engineering, but most of our courses were a bit "outdated", lacking most of the new & interesting stuff...
