Oh my.
One comes across the most interesting things, when roaming around the internet.
First, my fellow alum Skins:
DAVID B. ALLEN
President, Web Designer/Developer
David Allen was introduced to website design as a Press Secretary on Capitol Hill, where he created and maintained a website for a senior member of the U.S. House of Representatives. In early 1998 he started Online Workshop, which offers Web design services primarily to small businesses and non-profits.
David has had a long-standing interest in both computers and design, going back all the way to junior high school, where he and three friends wrote an educational computer game for the Apple II. Later he won an invitation to study art at the Delaware Governor's School for Excellence.
David's professional background is in political communications. He has worked on Capitol Hill, and is a veteran of three U.S. Senate campaigns, in Delaware, Oregon, and Michigan. David has worked for a government relations and strategic communications firm, where he created a client development computer database.
He has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University.
Then, Lord Marblehead EarlG:
DAVE ALLSOPP
Web Designer/Developer
A professional musician since 1992, Dave created his first website in 1997 in conjunction with his record company to promote his band. As an avid computer user since the age of 8, he quickly caught the HTML bug and began designing sites for other musicians, both in the US and in the UK.
Through his belief that the best way to learn is by doing, Dave honed his HTML skills over three years by designing and maintaining a large number of websites for free. When he began to pick up contract work from local businesses he decided that the time was right to move into a full-time career in web design.
Dave was educated at King Edward VI College in Stourbridge, England - the city in which he was born and grew up. He moved to the US in 1998.
And finally, the elusive enigmatic Elad:
BRIAN LEITNER
Programmer
Brian started programming computers at age 15, teaching himself the C programming language through books, trial and error, and guidance from more experienced programmers. Not long after, he opened an online interactive gaming system written in C, and continued to hone his skills over the years.
Taking a deep interest in computer technology, Brian studied hardware and software issues, networking, and system administration, and succeeded in obtaining the Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE) award for Windows NT 4.0.
After working as a contract consultant for various technology firms, Brian accepted a job offer at a Linux consulting company, which unfortunately went bankrupt shortly thereafter.
Brian went on to learn C++, Perl and PHP programming languages, and continues to further his computer education however he can.
Hmmm.
One wonders why the Linux consulting company went bankrupt; but surely it didn't have anything to do with the elusive enigmatic Elad, who wasn't around long enough to cause any problems.

There's big money in Linux if you're good at it. Five years as a Linux admin is worth about $75k down here.

WTF? Those of us in "the Biz" call it a cert, not an "award".

About Fretblanket
Inspired by bands like Ride, the Wedding Present, and Swervedriver, Fretblanket hails from the small midland U.K. town of Stourbridge. The four members -- Matt Carey (drums), Will Copley (vocals/guitar), Clive Powell (guitar/vocals), and Dave Allsopp (bass) -- met as schoolboys around 1987. After signing to the American-based Polygram Records in 1993, Fretblanket debuted with Junkfuel one year later. Home Truths From Abroad followed in 1997. Although their sophomore effort had more polish, both albums fall into a predictable style of post-grunge: raw but melodic. Comparisons immediately call bands like Bush to mind. MTV's short-lived 12 Angry Viewers awarded high ratings to "Into the Ocean," the first single from Home Truths. But the video fell out of heavy rotation and Fretblanket, further troubled by label issues, quietly slipped back to Stourbridge. ~ Eric Iannelli

You waste 3 characters (or chars as we call 'em) your way. If you had to take mag tape density and object deck size into consideration, you wouldn't be wasting space that way.

People refer to my MSCE+I as a "handicap" more often than by any other term.
Just sayin'

:rotf:
What idiot would put that on their resume?
"I joined a company that went bankrupt soon thereafter. But it wasn't because of me, I was hiding in the break room munchin' cheetos."

I suspect it was Skins' attempt at humor.
My fellow alum's that way.

When you tell people you have an MCSE, are the first words you hear "I'm sorry"? :-)
