alan Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 What computer language do you write your software in? Where are based, in the States or UK? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mostly C++, C# & .NET. We are based in St Neots near Cambridge UK. For hardware designers we are looking for both analogue and digital engineers (design, board layout, VHDL - all at high clock speeds).

Kimbers Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Following the where do you surf? thread, i thought it might be interesting to find out what our members do, and/or where they spend their day... Esprit ownership has led me to meeting people from all walks of life that i might have otherwise never crossed, i have been to Esprit meets where Electricians, pilots and Estate agents chat and make friends without knowing what each other do, the cars bring us together like that, which is kinda cool. B) Remember, some owners may not want to say, and i know some that cannot, so no hounding people. I just thought it might be interesting to see who we are. I'll go first! I'm an Electrician. And work mainly in historic properties, here's a photo i got taken yesterday with this thread in mind. Cables seemed uninteresting, so i thought i'd show you this old range that we uncovered this week. It's in the basement of a five story town house in Oxford city, and would have been where the housekeeper lived and cooked. There is the remains of an old dumb waiter (lift for trays) that the servants would have used to send the cooked food from the basement, up to the maid in the house above ready to serve. Amazing what gets covered over and forgotten... Who's next? Pauls only standing like that cause he's drilled his big toe to the block of wood. Quote Possibly save your life.

andecorp Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Mr. A , congratulations on making it You should buy Lotus <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you know how many times I thought about that? Out of my price range for the time being. I've had/have 2 dancing donkeys over the years, and a Lambo and this is my 5th Esprit, because Lotus just stirs me up so much. OK, so does the Diablo, but Lotus is the only company out of the three I fantasised about buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andecorp Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) That's amazing What are your books titles? I'd love to have a read as they must be inspirational. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They are technical books - about finance and about bodybuilding/health/fitness/etc - nothing inspirational there, boring actually if you are not interested in the subject. The new one which is about my life is called... "Life" - original, huh? At least I know the name of the sequel - 'Life continues' LOL Anyway, "Life' will be available at all bookstores like Borders and also online through Amazon. It's end of April/early May release. Impressive. I hope that I can be able to say that I have lived such a diverse and successful life. Any advice for the young guys in the crowd? I agree with Wayne bout the buying Lotus Edited November 2, 2007 by Kimbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul C Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Paul C still has the biggest drill on the forum though Mate, that was a mere battery drill! Some of the drill bits i have are 4-5ft long and STILL not long enough to get through the walls of some of the older buildings. Church walls can be over 5ft think, but they are actually two walls really, with a loose fill of rubble in between - very annoying!!!! Bit goes through, pull it out, hole fills back up with rubble...

gpz900r Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Just paying out for the engine rebuild on saturday to complete the "Perfect Esprit" project, and thats thousands thats cleared me out and some. Ive got my lotus for sale ( no guys Im not bailing out just looking for a white one ) and the minute my car sells I will be the first to give 50 pounds to the site. Yes 50quid and let that be a lesson to you all as I am by far the poorest on here! In fact when I do. I think the richer ones amoung you can coff up more, but without me actually having given anything yet I will wait till I have. In the mean time if I land a great film role I will be off to the aston martin forum lol but will pay my dues. www.reelthingproductions.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lwasson Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I work in the GeoResources Institute at Mississippi State University. www.gri.msstate.edu where I work in the remote sensing and GIS area. For you pilots I used to fly in the back of Cessena 410 operating sensors. Secretaries would come out when we landed to see how green I looked. Do a lot of work for NASA, NOAA, DOT and some other three letter gov't agencies. Spent a lot of time on the coast after Hurricane Katrina doing remote sensing with satellite and aerial imagery. People would call (with a cell) in their location while stranded but they described their location by street address or what the surroundings looked like. We would do what they call 'geocoding' so chopper pilots could navigate to the pickup by latitude and longitude. It would probably be the most rewarding experience I've ever had if it weren't for the magnitude of the devastation. Its a pretty cool job for a humble state employee. louis '83 Turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
