Account Director for Computer Associates handling BP globally - ex IBM, all infrastructure software related. If you think of business applications as radiators in a house, I do all of the enabling plumbing and pipework technologies and all of the automated systems management stuff.
Would rather have done something to do with cars or guitars but those industries smell BS too quickly so I had to make do with IT.
Run my own company on the side doing recycling.

skiddell said:cool, I had to go to a (cough) Tech college then a Poly on block release
Well mine lasted four.. got a Masters at the end of it, it was a general engineering course so did most stuff from mechanical, electrical, civil, electronics.. Ended up doing the masters in semi-conductor stuff, modelling of electron and hole dynamics in order to design optical switching devices.. I even designed the optical to electrical interface for a cd-rom using a blue laser (in P Spice), in 1998 when the lasers were still unstable and way to expensive..
I just wish I had made the most of it whilst I was there, I would love to be doing that course now, at the time I was more interested in getting the work done as quickly as possible!
I had a choice of working for SGS Thompson (ST) or LogicaCMG, and chose IT, not sure was the right one, although lots of people lost their jobs at ST not too long ago.. Who do work for now Steve?

I'm the 'gaffa' of this place.......... http://www.richersounds.com/information.php?cda=locationdetails&locationid=32
Sorry, this isn't meant to be some kind of plug, but I'm lazy and this was easier.
In my photo, I'm actually standing proudly next to the Zed, but our IT chap has clearly no taste and cropped it far too much. .........and yes, I do indeed love pies

only joking....been visiting Richer for years
I'm not saying it will work, but you now have someone to name-drop if you require any 'preferential' treatment. Just tell 'em you're a friend of Dale's up in 'sunny Newcastle!'
(that goes for anyone by the way!!!!)

20 years in the foundry industry as engineering manager. The foundry produced 200 tonnes of iron castings a day. It went the way of all heavy industry in the U.K. after 120 years of activity on site.
Now I'm the mechanical engineer for the Environment Agency in the NW. I look after all mechanical engineering issues in the area. Mostly this involves flood defence pumping stations, one of which is the biggest of its type in europe.

My father in law is an ex shop steward for an airline, you can only imagine the "spirited debate".......Reading back, my reply comes across far more aggressively than it was meant to ......oooops
I forgot to mention the commie in question was my wife's uncle.
Moving swiftly on ...... we don't do politics here
