I'd say that's one hell of a good idea. But somehow, I foresee the end product looking like E.T. for the 2600...

because working for you would drive us all to murder/suicide. Maybe if you worked for me it'd be different.

Keeping with my theme of catching up with all the old topics i'll add on to this one. I' working as a clerk at local grocery chain will i'm working on my CIS degree. Only 9 months to go thank god. I wish i had stayed in college and finished my degree the first time, but live and learn.

Some advice to you guys that are still in high school and i know you've heard it before, start making plans for your future. The job market these days wants better and better qualifications even for the lower jobs. Its getting more and more important to have a secondary education. I'm still young (25) so i'm not that bad off, but it would have been nice to be like some of my friends who had good jobs by 22/23 and now own their own homes and such. Eventually you're gonna have to do some kind of secondary training the way things are going, so you might as well plan ahead and get started. Just my $.02 from my experience.

How about hooking a guy up with some custom DTS encoded sound track for DVD releases? There are so many DVDs that are lacking DTS. But it sounds so good!

Layed off electronic technician here. Currently studying to be a cisco network engineer.

The company that layed me off built some products for Williams. Some of the light bulb displays for pinballs and we built the mainboards for Area 51 and Maximum Force. Also some opto boards. And, no, I don't have any... very secure.

This sums it up:

I work on multi-tiered software from front to back. On any given day, I'll use any/all of the following:
SQL
XML
XSLT
HTML
vbscript
C#
VB

Do I sound like a nerd yet? Cuz my skills are a joke compared to some people in here.

In a nutshell...

I'm a stay at home husband with WAY too much time on my hands and more than enough project ideas than I could possibly fullfil in a lifetime. I've been "off" from work for almost 7 years and am about to re-enter the low pay end of the job market sometime early next year. (Gotta earn money to start affording some of these projects I have in mind.)

I guess, if I had to specify tho, I'll probably be in the hotel clerk position for the majority of my working career.
