- - So what do you do then? (/showthread.php?t=23125)

23 years in IT - used to write COBOL (oh! er!) and have built low lever relational database utilities, and 4GL tools in my time. In later years got into large scale ERP implementation programme management, mainly in manufactuirng sector. Became a bit of a specialist in developing e.busines technology strategies for major blue chips (like Glaxo). Then the big bucks consultancy world collapsed.
So I did something completely different - now own my own locksmith business and you can shoot me before I will EVER work for someone else again.
Always loved things mechanical and can't resist touching big hunks of machined aluminium...

This is a good idea for a thread ,and very useful & worthwhile, but it needs to be along the lines of a sheet that can be added to etc, almost like a spread sheet that gives everyone can add an entry to etc, thats easy to look at.

entered their details.
