I know I'm not the only Pro Geek!

I'm not the only career geek on these forums. Who else out there is a nerd-for-hire? Where do you work? What are your favorite tools? Your favorite software? What network do you use?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I'm young, but I work for game development company Vis Entertainment (http://www.visentertainment.com/). Well, kind of-the last thing I worked on was the new Evil Dead game, and that wasn't much just a bit of tidying work really. The last game I worked on fully was H.E.D.Z. and IMO that was very underrated :)
I generally work freelance though, and although there isn't much up there my own company is called Xeb Software and it's webpage is here (http://www.xebsoftware.com).
I use Multimedia Fusion 1.5 for applications, DarkBASIC Pro for 3D and C++ for VIS. I haven't used C++ for a few years now though so I'm a bit under-practised :) I don't actually have a network right now. I work over the internet.

:D Work hard and never give up. Only get a mainstream job if you have to. (If that sounds like bad advice, I am only saying you should follow your dreams.)

I'm studying Digital Media, 'majoring' (since I can't find a better way of explaining it) in Multimedia.

I am also a systems admin for my old primary school and have just started a job which involves downloading Linux distros. :p

Not to mention I'm also a typist (and systems admin) for my parents business.

Ok, musician at heart and work with cubase, pro-tools and photoshop everyday.
Not got a job yet (besides weekend barman) but i've worked in a council office before (2 months).
Avid html writer and have been for about 4 years now. I write my own sites. It's only lately i've been testing out java, looking at C/C++ and php.

I love tinkering with things. A LOT. if theres a hidden setting, i'll find it and hack it.
Just got Resource hacker aswell, so i'm itching to try that out on something :p

I'm currently at the lowest step of the geek ladder. Internet Technical Support.

However I am one of the most senior seniors so that's OK.

[hyperboy]

I do things for peeps at school like fixing comp parts and telling them to do stuff and the occasional (legal) software hack. I also am trying to start up my own net *company* *cough* *cough*. (Anyonw know where I can get free web space?)

I'm IT Systems Administrator for a large waste disposal company. As well as the LAN's on the various sites, I also maintain the computer systems which control weighbridge operation and deal with automatic ticket processing (a legally binding and therefore very important process). I supply all technical support throughout the company and often advise different departments on IT related matters. I also train users to use various software.

I could go on for quite a while. But put basically, at my company, I am IT. If it's got IT in it, I'm there.

Some days are nightmarishly hectic.

And other days, like this, I do bugger all.

I like my job.

I wish it paid more though

:(
