Computer Support/IT. Work where there are a lot of vapers, computers seem to go hand in hand with smoking/vaping.

Same goes with SysAdmin and Developers!

I personally am a full-stack web developer, jack of all trades, master of none. I tend to build a lot of sites for hobby projects, and with vaping being my newest hobby, am working on a project related to it ;)

Manufacturer of products for show dogs, mostly leather products. I wholesale my products too. Travel mostly the East Coast to dog shows everywhere and sell my products (along with my husband). Was a computer consultant for 20+ years before going to the dogs. When our UPS guy went from delivering computer parts to chain and leather he wondered what kinky thing we were getting into LOL! Nothing kinky, just gone to the dogs. I also show my dogs, my avatar is CH Sky Acres USS Stargazer, RN. She is a Belgian Tervuren and she flys at warp speeds. We call her Tasha. I also have Spock, multi titled Maplerun's Trouble With Tribbles. Notice a theme?

Just read my post, I don't sell my husband!!!!! :D

I am studying to be a stay at home dad. No, don't laugh - it's true. Im seriously disabled and im waiting on my court case with Social Security in like 60 days, but in the meantime my wife is 6 months pregnant and not really the nurturing type. Someone needs to do it, so now I now have 3 months to figure out how to raise my son. Keep your fingers crossed.

I teach College English (Freshman Composition), and a lot of you have terrible, terrible grammar (and imaginative ways of spelling), but sometimes, I'm guilty as well.

I'll be the first to admit it. My brain doesn't comprehend english as well as it generates code :)

kinda sounds like me. i do the program/setup/operate cnc lathe... haas of course. was a mechanic for 10 or so years myself. tought a couple classes on advanced wheel alignment. not a big wenkel guy though.

where did you learn to program? teach yourself?
i went to some classes at a haas factory outlet in twinsburg ohio. have a couple simulators on my other pc. i would study other peoples code. write my own stuff and run it through the sim or r graphics on the lathe.
not the greatest of programmers though. i didnt turn stuff that was all that complicated. i didn't/dont have much of a need.
i was thinking of buying a manual lathe for my house before i got hurt. a guy i worked with had a mill at his house.

i was just about to get into cmm before i got laid off.
my company bought a new faro arm. word is people are going to start getting called back around september. i hoe i can go train on the faro.
my plan was to get a couple years of that under my belt and then go make some serious cash somewhere else.

My training actually started years ago in high school with an ROP machinist trainee course, kept up on my manual skills by working at high performance/racing auto places like Dinan Engineering and Tri-Point Engineering. Got back involved with my Step father building three piece wheels (he created HRE, currently owns Nutek). Went to a local school called NTMA, trained in Mastercam. I've since moved on to a company that specializes in Harley parts for Brouhard, Arlen Ness, Battistini's... Currently have a 1973 Mazda RX-2 in my garage that I'm SLOWLY restoring. I've actually had pretty good results with creating point clouds with a mill, an indicator and a "wiggler" to reverse engineer parts.

My grandmother was an English teacher and drummed it into my brain. English and Science were always my best subjects in school. I read some people's spelling and grammar and shudder... But I am guilty myself, so I ain't perfect!

I understand that. My brother and I use to communicate by C code back when Windows was first getting started.

Oh, and I am a retired software developer for a large computer company.
