Doh!

Well done with the lucky gift prize... that should get you about 10mins on the dyno!:p

Do you know when you get your compliance plate?

We were hoping Friday just gone but who knows. Government departments just getting to back to work after the Xmas break so who knows??

Hopefully by the end of this week:confused:

Hey Mitchy,

That's pretty darn similar to what I do except I detail steel. Do you get to do any fancy modelling or do you just work it all out in 2D? I use ProSteel3D which is an addon to AutoCAD, but can be used for anything really, including Timber. I tell you the 3D side ProSteel has saved me heaps of time especially with kinks in buildings that have girder trusses:rolleyes:. Heaps of yucky trig in that.

Good luck in your new job!!

at the moment im just doing 2D, using AutoSketch.

however some of the other guys are starting to use a 3D program called MiTek i think... not to sure on that one!
a 3D layout can definately help, especially with houses with different height roofs that overlap, etc.

Currently doing Configuration Management (I wonder if anyone knows what that is)

Anyone who works in software development ought to know what that is, and know how damn difficult it is to get right. Humans just don't seem to be evolved to organise stuff. Finding someone who *enjoys* configuration management (and is actually good at it) is near impossible!

Me, if you haven't guessed already, I'm a software developer. Seems to be quite a few geeks on board here (I use that term with affection - geeky is not necessarily uncool). Maybe the hi-tech nature of the VR4 attracts geeky types?

wait for a development to go in at the end of the road. The developer will have to seal it. Council will do sweet FA. :banghead:

Who dat CM?

I work for a large international company heavily into transport and defence. Currently doing Configuration Management (I wonder if anyone knows what that is) for an Australian defence platform.

There are more CM people out there than you'd think, but a lot of them prefer to say that they're tax collectors or street walkers.

I just left Defence after a few years working as the CM for Satellites Branch.

I'm relieved to say that I'm escaping to Bega to take up tools as an Electronics Technician (a job I did for the Air Force for a long time).

And no, it won't be all IT. There'll be PABX work in there too. For variety. *grins*

Hey Chrus,

I used to be a borehole Geophysicist (fancy name for someone who sticks tools down holes) do you deal much with borehole exploration?

Okay, now this initially brought scary images into my head... LOL

Really, it sounds like euphemistic slang for unspeakable sexual practices!

Havent used someone in your ex-profession for a while. Last time i did anything remotely like that was 2 years ago in the Pilbara for DeGrey Mining. They were doing moving loop and DH conductivity + bit of ground based EM...while i was baby sitting a RC Rig.

Im currently contracted to Excalibur Mining here in Perth with main operations in lovely Tennant Creek :ROFLMAO:. Good job, though i have only been doing this for 3.5 years so i suppose the $$ will come with experience.
