Your profession...

Maybe we should start our own topic--but while we're on the off topic of Calculators I'll drop this little tidbit: Ti 83? Puh! HP's where it's at

Ok...ok...I'm done.

I went to high school too, then I went to college and studied violin performance. After a while I realized that I didn't have what it took to be a solo violinist (thats discipline for 8 hour practice sessions So I took a job as a point of sale programmer for a national drug store chain (Why don't people just say the name of the company they worked/work for?) Don't ask how much fast talking it took for a music major to get a job as a computer programmer! I worked there for a few years and learned a lot about corporate america not to mention computer programming. Then I moved cross country and took a job doing database to web/CGI back end programming for a cable company, which was then bought by another cable company, then a phone company then spun off as a separate company which became part of another cable company and I think now they are a phone company again. Before that happened I moved cross country again and took a job as a database developer for a patent/trademark search company. Now I do contract programming for cross platform Mac/PC applications, sell shareware when I'm not doing contract work and build flashlights.

I still play violin in local orchestras and played electric violin in a small jazz band which was great fun. I'd do it again in an instant.

Thats me in a nutshell,
James

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The Crows audio thing reminded me of a minor annoyance that I'm sure only a few of you will understand...

We have some PCC floor mics at school (Crown PCC 160s...industry standard) but EVERYONE INSISTS on refering to them as PZMs. Drive's me nuts even though the difference is extremely minor.

oh well...

I'd like to be doing what kiessling's doing!

I was gunna say college student, but the course ended 30 Nov, so I guess I'm officially an unemployed bum.

 

[Rothrandir]

oops, my bad.

i have a habit of getting on cpf, doing the "open in new window, having 20 or 30 windows open, and when links come up, i do the same, after all the windows without links are closed, i look at the links and respond to the topics where the links came from.

i forgot whose link belonged to who.

Hazard Mitigation Specialist for the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.

Not quite as exciting as it sounds...my specialty is flood hazard mitigation, which we find is best accomplished by getting people out of the floodplain in the first place. No buildings, no damages to spend lots of taxpayer dollars fixing. That mostly means buying them out.

saaby,
not really a mod, but try using those pcc 160's sitting on a 1/8 to 1/4 piece of foam with a wood slat toward the apron holding a piece of polycarbonate. Takes out the overly hot foot steps and really sounds good with tap. Helps pull voices out of the noise. Does not work well with pzm's.

Just a way to differentiate thier pick up pattern,

Floating Spots, I have 2 of your amps that are driving me nuts. The output is great, but the little LED indicators are blinking erratically. It just drives me nuts when I see them in the rack. But since they work fine I haven't bothered breaking them

Lessing I am in Green Bay WI, at the Weidner Center. We have started a couple for B-Way tours off here. The big ones, usually about 8 to 12 trucks and minimum of 1 week runs, but usually more. I think the last one we premiered was "Ain't Misbehaving".

Oh and since their seems to be so many medical people my wife is an ER charge nurse, she works night shift, all kinds of fun stories.
