I am a... well now.. what a question.

Currently I run a Hosting Company, www.rad-hosting.com and am also a web dev www.rad-design.com . I used to consider myself a "freelancer" but that term daily is applied more and more to outsourcing. I find its nearly impossible to be a US citizen with "freelancer" as my job title, so I will go back to being a "web developer."

As of late I have attached SEO and Internet Marketing to my list of skills. I manage advertising and search engine realtions for www.tirings.com which is a top 5 google ranked oscom website sellign titanium rings. Its a pretty competitive market and I feel challanged which is a very good thing in life.

I also study Kempo, but not as a profession. Although I wouldn't deny the chance.

If anyone every needs anything feel free to PM me.

I'm 29 and have done help desk for 10 years and I believe it's driving me crazy.

I had a user last week bring me her new laptop asking me if I was the one that would charge the battery up for her. I had to show her how. So sad. And our users are getting laptops with wireless and they just don't get it. And I can't convince some users that moving their emails to a folder doesn't reduce the size of their inbox. And one office got rid of the computer that had their scanner hooked up to it. Of course they want it hooked back up a different computer but they threw away the cables and software when they got rid of the other computer. It never ends.

I also run http://www.tropicrentals.com which has grown to require more time than I have.

I'm also developing a couple of other sites.

I would rather program.

I've already posted here but I've changed jobs since then...

I'm now 20 and I'm the senior web developer for a call centre and telecoms company called Rocket. As well as working on the web site, I also design web interfaces for agent call scripts (the things that guide the agent through the call - what to say, taking information, etc), also design the actual call scripts, and write a great deal of Crystal Reports. Occaisionally I do other generic support tasks within the company but most of the time I leave that to the support team . (Oh, and I just got a pretty hefty 20% raise )
