Information Technology

Started writing software code decades ago, got an education (Bachelors and Grad work) that had nothing to do with that..so I have spent past 15 years in various roles in technology.
-different IT positions/roles working for large corporation (aka 'the man'--of which the oldest computer I worked on was a PDP-8)
-University/College prof for Computer Science in my 20's (and contributing author)
-contract dev and training for colleges, get-smart-fast cert centers (and speaking at tech conferences)
-independent consultant and auditing for corporate IT depts and companies without IT. (what I have done for past few years)

If it runs on electricity, I probably can work on it or make it do fun things it isn't supposed to.
I have had some surreal moments in work, like on gaming consoles. Setup a reverse logistics line and ended up processing hundreds of xboxes and playstations (a week) in the basement of my old house.

Thinking about going back for a Law degree and attempt to pass the BAR..could use some insight for that one.

CAn I ask what project your working on, I do love north dakota ( the landscape, little else)

I am working on the GRE Power plant in Spiritwood, ND.
And I agree the landscape is beautiful, if not the temp and weather. I mean it's May and Snowing. But at least the people up here are really friendly.
