train controller at Broadmeadow CTC. I plan the moves and keep an eye on things with trains in Northern NSW. When the sh!t hits the fan I gotta clean the blades and start it spinning again!!

Not bad, Northies :-) Busy busy busy :lol:

We've been working on the railroads!

Nationa Acc Manager for Mars. (No not the planet) I wish I had a dollar for everyone who says that! :censored: Maybe I would be driving a GT then:lol:

Spare time work for the boss who makes me do stuff around the house that does not involve Cars and Motorbikes!

I have an actuarial and I.T background (26 years experience), and currently run a small I.T consultancy of 5 people, plus have 2 business partners, one here and one in the U.K.

Our clients are banks and Insurance companies, and we specialize in Insurance (primarily Life) software applications, database tuning/design, and modernization.

Most banks and Insurance companies now run primary software that’s around 20 years old!

After we tendered for and completed a Y2K project for Westpac, for another bank we developed software to convert an old mainframe system to UNIX and Win2K, to run in production on UNIX (AIX), and have utility software to convert non-relational databases to relational databases (e.g Oracle, DB2, SQL Server), as well as create middleware I/O software.

We also converted all the old ‘3270’ screens to dynamic HTML.

To give you a guide, the past software investment in that system converted was around $50 million, so not your average software.

This may mean something to someone on this forum.

If you have a legacy mainframe system or database that needs conversion, feel free to pm me.

I service and install medical imaging equipment, Cardiac cath labs, CT scanners, MRI's, Xrays, Mobile II's, Ultrasound and Nuclear medicine Gamma Cameras.

So if you have something you need fixed just let me know, but due to my hourly rate its not worth me fixing anything that cost less than $100K when new. :censored:

Got an Associate Diploma in Applied Sciences (Architectural Drafting). After getting that, became a bricklayer and still doing that now. Currently doing Network Engineering part time at CIT (Canberra Institute of Technology). 4 stages, currently doing Stage 3 subjects, so far so good ;) Knowing my luck, I'll finish the course then still remain a bricklayer. May end up getting a builders licence (more than 7 years expoerience as a bricklayer, and the Architectural Drafting won't hurt). Oh well, only time will tell.
