Another IT guy here. Been working in IT practically all my working life, since 1987!! :S
Work for a company installing, configuring and training users on software for Digital Signage and Call Centre implementations.
But to be honest it bores the pants off me most of the time.
Currently teaching myself Tig (GTAW) welding. AC and DC. As my main hobby are my cars and I'm building a trackcar at the moment. Being able to fabricate stuff could save me money, and might just make a few quid on the side as well!!

I've been doing various system administration jobs for 19 years, with a little network admin and programming on the side.
I'm very much hoping to see a suitable amount of complexity in our gaming options (I want a realsticish market and hope that there'll be some form of crafting or invention). Yes, I'm one of the Eve infected.

Another IT bod here, coming up to 18years now. Non technical these days, more analysis, making use of my vast experience of breaking things over the years. Last techie thing I did was a little Citrix farm for 3000 users. Still going strong 4 years on
All the techie fun is in the mobile arena, watching Jolla closely

Another IT guy here, 20 years or so in various jobs.... Currently working for a very large company, supporting the systems of another very large company.
Altiris... you mean there's still people out there using it? *faints in shock*
As an aside, isn't this thread in danger of turning into an Elite LinkedIn?

Another programmer bunny here. Started off with a long spell at a particularly wonderful company, Trilobyte, followed by a mix of audio and video-related projects and embedded development (back to the days of dozens of K for program space, yay!). Now, a rather interesting R&D project producing a video codec that works in contourspace rather than pixelspace.
Self employed web developer; waiting for Frontier to put the call in for a shiny new Elite: Dangerous site.....

I'm in I.T. too
Started life as a developer, then Analyst, Project Manager etc for 22 years. 3 Years ago I went self employed, and am now a freelance I.T. Consultant with a business partner (less money but more fun).
We write bespoke stuff for companies, plus have our own software package which we market.

I work as a software engineer and I hope that players understand that mistakes can happen. And that the problem sometimes sits in front of the screen.
For this reason, all the best for David and his team.
Ha! Awesome! Rep given!Okay, who doesn't work in IT around here?

OK, looks like everyone is getting out their IT war stories and eWangs - sorry I mean resumés!
Far too many years in the industry here.
I currently run my own little kitchen bench consultancy for various clients doing business development or grabbing contracts to pay the bills.
Currently talking for a living (Consulting Architect) on a biggish project to refresh infrastructure for a few thousand server applications. It's a bit of a remediation challenge and is doing horrible things to my gaming time but I can phrase "You're screwed" 200 different ways in Power Point.
Through a variety of misadventures I've spent a bit of time working as a play tester on a variety of AAA titles in the past so I'm very much here for the long haul on the start of our current hype cycle. I know what to expect.
My current project is to cram a water cooled MiniITX PC into the case of a 1982 VIC-20....
....it consumes me.
I dont like computers
I Especially hate printers
I do like computer games though.
I think its quite interesting that the mainstay of this forum are 30+ somethings myself included who's lives have clearly been influenced by early days in computing i.e spectrums, amiga's etc, To the extent that people hae made a career out of it.
On that same basis i got a Degree in Computer Science in 2002. But after 3 months as a systems analyst decided id rather do something else/better
