QUOTE (RMA @ Feb 6 2010, 01:22 AM) My only regrets are:
Selling Fudd an amp (for a fraction of the real price) that had been returned by Autobarn Geelong which had been incorrectly used by AB Geelong and turned out to be faulty when Fudd started using it.
Whilst he was given a new amp after it could not be fixed, he never acknowledged any of the assistance given and bitches to this day about it.

Yep, we were on the Thiesse bid team.

Also doing some pumping stations for the Adelaide one (tiny in comparison) trying to get a guernsey for the main plant (still tiny compared to Vic) seems to be a bit of a construct then design situation over there.

Was an Aircraft Mechanic for 6 1/2 years, but have just recently changed jobs.

Now I'm a Pipeline Controller for the largest gas pipeline infrastructure manager/owner in Australia. Basically I monitor and control the flow of gas through two different main transmission pipelines in QLD, so gas fields to powerstations, large commercial customers and then the rest gets dumped into the metro system for someone else to look after.

Car audio is all about compromise. There's no single best way to do anything. Optimization in the face of several variables ... often conflicting ... means compromise. The educated are better positioned to sort through the compromises than the opinionated. Werewolf/Lycan 28-11-2006

Interesting. I work for one of the companies that digs holes in the ground to get the gas to go into your pipelines...I assume :P

However I work in the IT department. Official title is Intel Server Administrator. So I look after all the server infrastructure and stuff like that. Managing and maintaining hardware and software for the servers. Also stuff like ESX, Citrix\XenApp, Exchange, SCCM, Argent, etc. etc. I like my job and the challanges that come with it. Been in IT roles for 10 years now.
