Design Director (that's a posh name for an ageing graphic designer).

BTW in graphics I've noticed that an above average number of designers are left handed, me included. Also pilots. I can think of at least seven off the top of my head.

So come on, tell us what you do and whether you're a lefty! Maybe there are a lot of 'lefties' in IT as well.

RD :D

Rallye Driver. I think the best place to discuss politics is in Jetblast.

Hmm. I wonder if the large percentage of IT people explains the fondness for GPS systems? :rolleyes:
And right-handed, btw, but not excessively so :)

I've just moved from academia to IT R&D. Write Java and work out how to make your fridge talk to your TV, amongst other things :) :)

Ambidexterous IT Project Manager.

An Ex-contractor, who happend to get out of contracting just after IR35 killed the Goose, but for reasons unconnected with IR35 (which I avoided anyway). There is no doubt that many IT Contractors preferred to spend the money that other companies spend on NI, Pensions, Payroll Admin, Company Cars, Health Insurance, Medical Insurance etc. on either exceedingly flash company cars, or planes, yachts etc. So it is not surprising that the pool of punters with wads of cash has dried up somewhat.

The Chancellor taketh away with one hand (from IT contractors), and he taketh away with the other hand (from Accountants, Agencies, Flying Schools, Insurance Companies, Building Societies who these Contractors would have spent their filthy lucre with), and he taketh away (verily with his third hand), from the Treasury, because although we all pay a bit more Tax and NI, the UK economy has now got a lot less cash flowing around it.

And he robbed our pensions as well.

Transmission controller for an ITV company- whoops hit the wrong button!!

You'd never guess...

Retired Industrialist/Financial wallah. Spent 30 years of my life spending vast amounts of other people's money. Now retired from that, and spend my own money instead. Unpaid minister-type. Much more pastorally involved, and find that infinitely more fulfilling. Really! Not into algae and their viruses though. I have a retired professor friend who was into all that stuff - he gets this distant look in his eyes and starts mumbling about genomes and nucleoli and such. Tea and bikkies seem the only cure...

My left-handed artistic elder daughter tells me that left-handedness is an artistic tendency. She's always right, so there you go.

The internet attracts geeks, so it's not surprising that flying folks on PPRuNe are IT-oriented rather more than the average. Our group has six members, and I'm the main computer-driver in the group and the only PPRuNe member. A therefore B?

I sell IT solutions to the pharma industry - Cahlibahn - do we know each other ?

skyraider 6th August 2002 19:58

Ditto on IT
 
I spend my days telling other people how to use the software they bought from us... but as it was pointed out earlier, it paid for my wings... :)
