Im a mechanical engineering student at Melb Uni. About to go into my 2nd year.

Did spend a year in the RAAF in Canberra, but the excitement of our capital city was too much for me and I had to return home to Melbourne. :D

And no, no chance of me going into IT!
 
Another IT

Self Employed Web Programmer - mostly database work.. when I do work!

Hi all,
I'm a Senior Forester who spends all day staring at computer screens. I have to come up with fake excuses to sneak out of the office and look at trees!
I try and break all those programs that you IT peolpe slave over, especially Citrix.

Schizophrenia?
 
Jeez, first Doc suggests that American guy is a klepto with a label fetish, now Taflex asks if the Backlane is schizo! When did this forum become aussiehomepsychiatrist.com? :D
Taflex, there are three people (real people, not just voices in my head) involved at Backlane. You will see a lot of the posts refer to "we" or "us", not "I" or "me".

Having said that, I (that's Trevor, do try & keep track) tend to do most of the posting.
 
Horticulturist (gardener) with Adelaide city council,looking after streetscapes in Nth Adelaide.

Nother IT guy here. Used to do sys admin/network design but the had another state gov department restructure.....

I work in a brewery.

Phantom, Adelaide is the ideal climate for growing hops though. Mine are strong, thick and bushy and I'll have a bumper crop this year (and it's hot and windy here today but they're fine).

Saleman.

try to sell optic fibre cable and telephone cable to whoever will listen, (and hopefully buy).

Would love to tranfer the skills to beer at some stage, (but 3 kids and a decenbt sized mortgage don't allow for much dreaming...)

Gough - sorry to go back to a post 6 months ago - but what bands did you play in, and what genre?? (played in a few myself for about 15 years - till the kids arrived..)
