:D

Not quite... my interest is divided among quite a few things right now, but one of them is municipal water supply systems and water purification. It just so happens however that there are a few things that I learn in those courses (including a couple more courses in pure fluid dynamics) that can be applied to my hobby, that's all... I swear.

So ... you're studying how to hijack the municipal water system to flow across your processor ... that's even better! Where are you going to get a 50000GPH pump from, though? And wouldn't it be noisy?

Whoa, that must be one hell of a water block ....

The C64 was not watercooled :( I started PC watercooling in 1999, mainly because of the fans noise.

Roscal: Hey ho un autre francais ici ! Dur d'expliquer aux anglo-saxons ce qu'est un diplome d'ingenieur ;)

Cool un ingé francais :D je suis pas tout seul. Pour l'équivalence anglais/francais c'est clair c'est pas évident ;)

Gmat,

Il est difficile d'expliquer en raison de l'isolement culturel qui existe dans ce pays.

@ kibbler:

I qualified in Holland, after 5 years. Came to the UK where I had to do additional experience and exam work to prove my qualifications are equal to those in the UK, which took another few years. In the UK training takes 3 years for first degree, then 2-3 years working as an assistant, another 3 years for the clinical degree which allows you to practice.

Work is generally tough but versatile. There are some risks involved; you work in some areas with extremely distressed, often dysfunctional, sometimes dangerous people. I've had to face off someone waving an axe once; I occasionally also deal with suicidal people.

It pays reasonably but not great when comparing training and job difficulty to commercial industry; but pensions in the NHS are good. You get to be your own captain a lot, and work to your own insights. You can have huge informal power in the system as you're the only profession that can challenge its dynamics.

Hey Frenchie, check this out: Un, Dew, Twat, Katwuh, Sanka, Seti, Wheat, Noof, Deez!!! yeaa....! :D As an accountant, it's important that I know how to count.... or something witty like that.

Next week, the pirate teaches German lessons... :)

Fixittt 08-05-2002 11:14 AM

28- been in computers for about 12 years, been modding and water cooling for about 6 years.

Been in the machining a little over a year,

It has become both, a hobby and source of small extra income.

I have been out of the loop for a few weeks, But looks like Im gonna get to be able to be back again.

Watch out, I have some interesting thoughts, and designs.

Teamed up with Dtek to brings dreams to life, and have teamed up with JayDee to bring the small cnc realm to lite. and show how stuff gets done.

Teamed up with Pro Cooling (Joined the forum) to pass on ideas, gain knowledge. So as U can see we are all partners in one way or another.

That's great and all... but you forgot "Cease"... :D

ECUPirate 08-05-2002 12:35 PM

Jesus H Christ. Man, you'd think I could count to ten... My Mom was a French major, so she taught us how to count in French, etc, but I always forgot the "cease"> :)

so..Un, Dew, Twat, Katwuh, Sanka, CEASE, Seti, Wheat, Noof, Deez!!! ???
