IT for me - software consultant specialising in telecoms and utilities. Always notice there seem to be a hell of a lot of IT people on Web forums. Suspect that is because a) we spend far too much time in front of a PC and need a bit of distraction, and b) we tend to be a mercenary bunch who don't care if we are getting paid while geeking around on the Internet. Although I'm a partner in the company, so I'm wasting my own time

Tut,

Did you know that there was some special anniversary for Muffin the Mule last week as he was 50 years old I think and was the first childrens TV programme?

Very sadly I know that they had two Muffins as the strings kept breaking, so they needed two to complete the live show.

happy viewing.

Ken.

I'm officially a Senior Systems Designer for an IT consultancy, but I'm working more as an IT Business Analyst these days. I'm currently on-site as a Business Analyst for a full year for one of our clients. I mainly work with Telcos, but my company works in a lot of other sectors too.

Ed, I'm an Oracle 10g certified DBA and I'm also a Java programmer, but not using much these days while doing the Business Analysis. My company does a lot of Oracle stuff, so send me some details and I'll pass them onto our training reps.

BTW, if any of you IT bods are looking for a new job, my company currently have quite a few vacancies. Check out http://rtel.com/Recruitment/CurrentVacancies.aspx and PM me if you're interested and I can make a personal recommendation!
