Just put your hand on the screen on the righthand side of the photo and slowly move your hand to the left.

Very nice. :) I just had a hunch it might have been an older Spydie.jabba359 wrote:Usually on set I carry my XHP Manix 2 in the right pocket and Orange Millie in the left. I carried my purple 2009 Forum Native one of the days on this shoot, so it's possible that's what's in my pocket.

We definitely do seem to have a fair share of techies. I understand where you're coming from with trying to fit the corporate mold. I spent two years working at the HQ for Target out of college. It was a much more difficult mold to fit into than my current one. In my current job, our IT department is located at a small satellite location away from most of the business-side folks. Our project management team is almost entirely located at the business location and so they do most of the communicating with the business on our behalf. This allows us a lot more leeway to be our eccentric selves.defenestrate wrote:I am, and have often been over the past couple of decades spanning my adult life, a Systems Administrator. I'm working at Lowe's Home Improvement HQ right now, in their Operations Command Center. In short, we are the people that keep the online business and store-distribution-corporate communication up, and my office looks like the big ops room from WarGames. It's a fairly fast paced position but we have about a dozen fairly experienced IT folks here so we can usually tackle most problems before they start costing the corporation. This is my fourth or fifth Fortune 100 company in the past 5 years, so I am finally starting to get a feel for what it takes to fit the corporate mold. I'm kind of an eccentric guy, so I often have to learn to still certain personality features while exaggerating others. Still, that is valuable information for a social retard
I've been working with Unix for almost 20 years now, and professionally for 13, so the only thing separating me from an RMS-style neckbeard is that I tend to shave and am not famous :P Similar personality/etc.
Seems there are a lot of techy folks here. Techy and LEO-related professions, which I suppose makes sense considering the likely market for premium tools as we have all gathered together over the love of.
I can get some pics when we do the sanding and finishing. Right now it's a construction site with a whole bunch of contractors and their stuff all over the place.The Mastiff wrote:Wow!

I recall when walnut started getting really expensive back in the early 70's? People were getting their trees rustled while they were gone for the weekend where I lived. It sure is a beautiful wood but I don't recall seeing it on a floor.
Thanks,
