              Now that I finally have a job I can put my 2 feathers in 8) (employed today actually). So, I’m 17yo studing in college full time doing C#, php, web scripting, javascript, databases, e-commerce, computer maths and other bits and bobs. Like I said above I just got a job today at Subway (don’t hate) so should slowly get money for mining rig and to buy ftc :)

                              Hmm seems like I am the only blue collar worker here so far. I did take programming in school but did not want to sit behind a desk for a job. So now I do inspection in oil refineries. Industrial Radiography, Ultrasonic Inspection and whatnot.

                                    computer guy
                                    do computer stuff and they pay me, pretty sweet deal really
                                    i write a lot of ‘code’, but i am not a programmer
                                    mostly what real programmers call ‘scripts’ i think
                                    my title says ‘engineer’ in it, which i am glad for that and not ‘developer’

                                    i work at a place where this might have been invented

                                        Wish I was an Electrician, power costs here in the EU are very high, I’ve been looking at alternative ways to go off grid, but solar and wind seem to be a pain in ass.

                                          Although I dont mine (GF wouldnt like a 24hr rig in our small place) we are spoiled on rates, in BC in western Canada I pay 6.8 cents per KW for first 1000 KW in billing period then i pay 9.6 cents after that… very cheap… might even be the cheapest in North America. I lived in the UK for a few years about 5 years ago and remember it was ridiculously expensive then, sure its even more now. I suggested to someone in the US a month or two back that wanted to mine but had “peak hours” billing that was really high, that if they had some basic electrical knowledge you could create a small battery bank that was charged during low pricing hours, and switched into use during peak hours. This also assumes that your rig is large and profitable enough to do this. but for a few hundred dollars he had a system that helped beat peak charges and could have solar or alternatives added to in the future… didnt have to be for mining specifically.
