19 years old. A university student, "Computer systems and networks". We study a lot of MS Visual C++ programming but, frankly speaking, I hate it. What I like is working with networks that run under Linux Smile
We've just started programming microcontrollers in Assembly language, and I find it quite fun too.

Oh, and I don't often buy CPU's for much. I usually get them cheap locally or else I trade them off you =)

Currently on disability benefits (ie living off the government as unable to work) but am getting into buying bulk to sell on cheap (as well as going round computer shops to offer to clear out all their junk - so far 1 in 3 has had a good haul they have given me, so I'll be glad when I get my van working again).

I would also like to put my assembly language programming skills to work for a living, ideally by programming system level code (firmware, BIOS code, anything that works at the harddware level).

System administration and graphic design (more leading a group of designers than doing it myself) in a publishing house.
I try to go zero-zero by reselling chips but as you can imagine that doesn't work;-)

Now you won`t have work to get in the way of collecting.
Happy retirement.

44 yrs of age.
Part time system engineer and testing the security of networks [paid to hack Wink], part time expedition photographer [mountaineer]. My first experience with systems was way back in the early 80's, writing COBOL. My first computer was a Holborn 6100 running CP/M of 8" floppies [still have it stacked in the attic]. In my spare time I trade and sell stuff [anything nifty I can lay my hand on], mostly on eBay, and the proceeds go towards the ICT [ www.savetibet.org ] to support the cause of the Tibetan people.

I'm a software architect / developer and work as head of development for a software company and as a freelancer for anyone who can afford me Wink My primary scope is web based IT, so I usually work on websites, intranets and web applications and all the backend systems for that. I started with BASIC and 6502 assembler (C64, yeah), then C, C++, now I program mostly in PHP and JavaScript - though I don't really code that much anymore and do more planning and managing now.

Perl evil? It's the duck tape of IT. Wink

Yeah, I love and hate it... used to do a lot with Perl some years ago. I'm a fan of as-complex-as-possible-constructs-in-a-single-line-of-code - programming, which makes it the perfect language for me. But if you don't use it regularly you have a hard time to reveal what that cryptic accumulation of strange characters once meant and nowadays it takes a lot more time to understand what I programmed than the programming actually took Rolling Eyes
