Where are my pants?

ubuntu on this machine (dual boot, ubuntu aand win xp 64 pro) and fedora on the machine in the other room that's hooked up to the telly.

 

So you tour with a band?

 

no, I was an IATSE guy for awhile, and I chose my screen name when I was still in high school, and I still feel like the tenets of a good techie describe me pretty well, I mean, I am a lab tech right now, I am going to be interviewing to go back to IATSE stuff later this month, and I think I am going to apprentice for a pyrotechnics license.

I also know way too much about theatrical tech work.

 

Solidarity, man. And good for you. I hope you make it out to Halifax and do films there. It's a great place to work.

 

I am more drifting towards engineering in the long run, but I like to believe, even when I get an engineering degree, my tech nature will not have left me, it is often said that mechanics do not design cars, and this is certainly true, I would like to be an engineer with enough tech in me to actually understand what it is I am doing.

 

I was close to going into bio-chemical engineering myself.

Anyway, good luck with engineering. It's a lot of work during your week.

 

oh, I know, 18-20 credits a semester for a dual mechanical electrical engineering major.

but it's what I have to do to be happy.

and the me I will become if I do not live the life that will make me happy, is a me I can do nothing but hate.

 

Well that's no sure-fire way to find happiness.

My little brother wants to be an industrial electrician.
EDIT: He's your age, only minus the smarts.

 

endgame goal is to start a prototyping firm that is really a cover for hiring engineer friends and building the cool shit that you always want to build but couldn't get away with otherwise, like walking cars, ping pong ball firing mechs, the like.

 

That... doesn't sound like the kind of firm that would have the funds to hire a secretary.

But your enthusiasm is endearing.

 

who wears pants now-a-days... Man, you kids are old-fashioned...for reals...

 

of course it does, you'd just have to makes prototypes to other peoples specs from time to time also.
