TheTerrorist_75 Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 50 year old disabled construction worker from Central NY (SE corner of Lake Ontario). Former heavy drinker and smoker. Took a flier and had a piece of old angle iron penetrate my calf right to the bone the week before 9/11/01. I ended up with a internal staph infection that attacked my already weakened liver which accelerated it into cirrhosis. I had a liver transplant March of last year. I've regained about 50% of my strength back and am looking for a new career seeing as the surgeons have stated I'll not be doing the type of heavy work I'm used to.

macmarauder Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Man I hate these things because you can't know or understand me with out know my work (huge workaholic). But it's not fair to you guys, for all of you to be brave and me to just sit and watch so here it goes. Trust me it's not as much as it sounds. I've just been doing this junk since I was in diapers.-My name is robert lute-Single male-23 believe it or not I'm still only 23-currently live in Colorado Springs, Co-used to live in Semi Valley, Ca-no kids or pets, unless you count my GF -Former member of the Microsoft Prodigy Program-Founded Media Extreme Unlimited (Multimedia Company) -Founded Custom Mac World (old school custom Macs) (meaning instead of just modding and making them look pretty we made the fastest Macs around) (I still hold the record for the fastest B&W G3 comp.)-I have no sence of humor -Worked in R&D of a defense contractor, apple comp., Life Messages, several production comp.-Created the Life Album which later was sold to Apple who chopped it up and threw in some apple spices to make iTunes and iPhoto. I've worked on several short films locally. First of all No I didn't get any of the money. The company owners took it and ran off to Mexico or something. The best I could get was a job at Apple for a little while. Secondly No I didn't make the particle graphics in iTunes, they added that in and I'm very impressed with it. I still want to meet the guy who added that part in cause it took a huge amount of programing. Thirdly I only wrote the program that they are based on and helped with the prototypes. Beleive me, they have gone far beyond what I did back in 98.Like I said it's not as much as it sounds and I hate to write all this but this is my life. It's who I am, I am my work. Sorry again for all the reading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

olmec36 Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hi all, little bit about me.single maleSan Francisco, Ca.into PC's,games, sci-fi, comics,spend a lot of time on the internet ,I also spend time on a food forum.Since I work in the restaurant industry, I like cooking all types of food and wine.Joined TechTv boards a while back when I was building a computer, and came across the site for some information. Really liked what was being posted,information,ease of navigation, quality citizens, and thus joined my first online community. Migrated to the G4 boards, but quickly became disallusioned, rather than post nonsense of how the boards suck, I just stopped posting there. Needless to say,I came along and joined this great forum.
