Getting to know the members! What does everyone do for a living?

Marketing, Internet & Retail Ops manager for a UK-based ecommerce site selling home appliances and electronics. Been here 7 years, still feel like i get paid plain peanuts for a job worth at least salted peanuts.

Plans in motion to set up a new company, somewhat unrelated to my current work. Can't say more than that at the mo as we've agreed complete secrecy until it's up and running - kind of a unique idea. More value to the customer, more cash in our pockets yadda yadda.

Wifey is self-employed as a teacher of environmental ed. - anyone from Essex (UK) need an external teacher to come in and get your kids green and dirty? :P

In my downtime i try to visit parks as much as possible - having recently completed a definitive list of parks i want to visit in the U.S (done all the ones here in the UK), i'm intending on spending a great deal of time touring the states :)

Baz.

Thanks, Matt. I always do my best to keep things ByLayer. And do you prefer 3/32" or 1/8" text?

This realy has opened my eyes. We should try a barter system here.

Jeff has to be loving this.

Project Manager at a Large Telecom in NoVa.

For a website with a bunch of people who think they know a lot about the amusement industry, their is only a few people that actually WORK in the industry. Very interesting...

Programmer for one of the largest building automation control companies in the world: www.jci.com

John, I prefer 1/8" text, but the standard for our program is 3/32". Scale is the hardest concept to get across to the students.

I'm looking to get back into mechanical engineering (that's what my degree is in). Anyone hiring? ;)

I own a custom hockey manufacturing and repair business. Goalie equipment is my specialty, I design it, build it, and work one on one with all my customers. www.protectiveathleticwear.com

Okay, fine. I'll bite.

I'm a certified state amusement inspector. I help build, program, troubleshoot, fix, and maintain amusement rides and rollercoasters.

Also, I like to DJ new wave and industrial music, but I just do that for friends and fun.

Matt,

I don't know what you tell your students but I figured it like this:

There are 48 1/4" in a foot.

So, that would mean 96 for 1/8", 192 for 1/16" and so on...

Same the other way. 24 for 1/2" and of course 12 for 1"

It all fell into place from there.

With all the express tools, templates, and added crap at my work we don't have to do the "z,1/48xp" type stuff for the viewports.

I don't know how much you like where you are but where I'm at is always looking for M/E/S people all the time. And I would get a hefty reward.

^ It was easier to just put a chart on the wall next to my computer to figure out scales. :) But, like you said, AutoCad does all the work for you now.

My company's hiring. Perks...You'll be close to Orlando, driving distance to Miami, cheap housing and nice beaches (and I get a sweet bonus if I refer you...tee hee)

Is it too late to change my answer? I want to be something more interesting.

Okay, I got it. I'm a shepherd. No, wait. I teach applied philosophy at my local community college. And I give ecdysiast lessons every Thursday night. Yeah, that's it.
