What's your ultimate job, besides working for CodeProject

I have a vague memory that Marc Clifton did work in that direction. Probably like most things - less exciting when you're doing it that you'd expect. Sigh, another breast... Iain.

Actually, rather exciting. The people in the industry (we're talking clubs, not movie production) are cool and the technical challenges for managing all that cash are at times daunting, and since I also have a passion for hardware, I've really enjoyed working with my client on the technical aspects of the hardware (things like bill acceptors, iButton readers, alarm/display modules, low level TCP/IP communication, assembly language, etc.) Marc

Mine would be working as a web developer for a porn site. :laugh: Yeah baby, YEAH!!!
Is the glass half full, half empty... or twice as large as it needs to be?
I'm pretty much doing it, quite frankly. Working with really really smart people for a cool company that manufactures communication satellites, and I'm helping to write the software for designing/constructing the satellites. :) Marc

Technical cool - 10 out of 10. Titillation - 0 out of 10.
I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be

Fun potential jobs: Body oiler for Salma Hayek. Quality tester at a distillery. Top Gear presenter. Real jobs: Father - that's the best job I've ever had.

Cut a long story sideways I once saw a porn film being made (don't ask). I left very quickly - not nice and not at all titillating, quite the opposite, actually.

Agree on all points but one.

He doesn't get to take the cars home, and his salary is a lot less. Plus, the presenters driving skills don't have to be as top notch.

When I retire, I plan to go back to work at a hardware store. I may only be a door greeter and a shelf stocker, but everyday I will get to meet new people, and talk to them face-to-face, and help them find the tools and accessories that let them get their jobs done. I'm sure that there will be the odd customer that will make me want to take a hammer to their head, but I promise to show great restraint. Why a hardware store? Well ever since I was a little guy, I've been building things all my life. So when I retire, it will be time to give some of that experience back to others. :)

Porn seems like it would be hard. Besides there is the ethical dilemma. Personally, I would like to get paid to solve problems in computer science. Unfortunately, I am lacking in ear and nose hair and do not have a philosophy degree.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

Been there. Not as exciting as you seem to hope. Development is development, everywhere you go there are arseholes and penises
