Ahhh.. how do I get that job?? ;)

It's not too hard.

Endure retail hell for several years.

Go mad.

Start a family.

Become obsessive about chilli's and coffee.

Inhale too much burnout smoke.

Go to uni and study subjects that will not help get you a job anywhere. However you must never study an IT degree as this labels you a 'sucker for life' and excludes you from most jobs with a 'cool' element.

Do these things in any order you like and I'm sure you'll get a job like mine, maybe a better one even.

Work sales for JMills Distribution which is an IT wholesale distributor, I used to work for RTV Computers aswell.  Yeah bloody IT industry. Not specialised in anything, basically a jack of all trades but for my interest I want to really to develop to high level network administration.

All these IT specialists on here, someone show me how to really make a decent FTP server on Linux (Knoppix Debian) which i've finally got around to having a go at after 7 years. Yes too busy being a lame windows junkie.

Also a decent PHP setup so I can make so websites.

Who was it working at the DoiR??? I also have completed a Marketing Diploma at Tafe and was applying like mad to get a job there and never got a reply.

forums.gentoo.org has lots of good guides and so does gentoo wiki ;) not hard to work out how to do the same stuff in debian

work fulltime as a graphic/multimedia designer for a corporate design firm based in Subiaco.

do a bit of freelance on the side, mostly logos, ads, rave/club flyers and websites.

and when i have time i work on my own 3d/illustration stuff.

i also like long walks by the river and cats.

Client Services Manager - IT related.

Dealing with project/program management, requirements gathering, QA and testing.

Very boring but sometimes challenging - hence I need the car outlet....

Cant believe I turned down a job at Adultshop for it though...;)

Oh crap, when will you young kids learn that just because you goto uni you'll jump straight into a 60k job! Get real! It ain't gonna happen, you'll still be a 21-22yo with NO real world experience. You'd be lucky to start off as a helpdesk jockey on 28k/year!

 

*Reality check pls!*

it happens.. plenty of times.. ask all the engineers/doctors/dentists..

IT is abit lower tho but still quite possible when u get out of uni.. but just get that rl world xp while studying hard and u'll be fine...

do oil and gas and get 60-80k straight out..

Andrew here... software developer atm.. Gov't electrical engine before..

    • Mount some of these on your dash? https://www.greddy.com/products/16001720  
    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
