hey i live in northern Sweden, and also work in HVAC, been doing that for 10 years. I started in ´93 as a Refrigeration tech, back then worked mainly against restaurants, and school kitchens. After 5 years i wanted to do something else, so i started to study for 3 years and took a degree in HVAC engineering. I haven't got a job yet as a engineer, but i work for another company now as HVAC tech, we work against bigger clients and most of them wants their equipment controlled 24/7, so all units are connected to networks, we use mainly Danfoss Adap Kool that sends alarms to our server at the company. Every 8 week i have a 24/7 standby for a week, then i have a laptop that i can connect direct to clients HVAC systems and regulators, it uses GSM net, so i can use it out in the car as well. Our biggest and important clients is in Supermarkets and Datacenters, if cooling systems goes down, lot of money is involved.

Tweaking Internetconnections, is more like a hobby, many hours of reading about it, and testing

Scratch one up for the computer addicts, I'm one of them. Dutch student, 19 years old. Haven't accomplished much in real life yet, so I'll stick to my somewhat more interesting internet life.
Been here for over 2 years, moderatorship came as quite the surprise, but grew into one eventually. Besides here, I'm at about 5 Diablo II fora, mostly answering questions and more questions. Quite recently I've begun staying up-to-date on hardware and overclocking, after deciding to get a real computer for once. The first result: AMD64 3200+ at 2700 MHz, benchable just above 2900 MHz.
Another habit is Quake 3, have had that game for over 5 years, but my current home situation only lets me game online once in a blue moon, so I stick to fragging bots and defragging.

That's me, any questions? I'm used to answering them

about me.... I'm a A-10 Pilot in the US Air Force my rank is  Airman First Class, i was in Iraq till the 10th of April 2005. (that was fun). I'm really into computer, been so since i was like 5. right now I'm into servers, websites and networking. also creating really fast mirrors for testmy.net. Currently I'm a graphics designer/systems admin. before i went to the air force i was really into hacking, so into it that i almost went to jail.

in my spare time, which i really don't have, i like to just do stuff with my girl friend, hang with my friends, and play sports.

Yea... I'm 15, sophomore in high school.
I do a lot of computer and networking setup and repair in the area for a job, also sell on ebay.
I do a fair amount of PHP coding (imagine that eh?) and obviously HTML, some Javascript as well.  And I've dabbled into some basic C programming.  I plan on taking a C++ programming class in the upcoming future.
I live in Byron Center, MI, and will be moving to Dorr, MI soon, where I can finally get cable internet.
The last movie I watched was The Island, and I want to see Stay Alive and The Hills Have Eyes.

    Mercy !!!!!!!!!!!  That is some tall smoke blowing.  A/1C flying an A-10, that ain't happening, no NCO flys a real plane and at your age being in Iraq is also suspect.  You may be good at computers but, you need to leave the smoking to a Pro.  Just wanted to let you know that you got caught.   

You can look at my profile and find out all you need to know or send a message.

Check out some of the places at Mike Dijital's site--he is the best photographer i've seen yet. http://www.dijitalphotography.com
