Scott's Story
Life
Once a nerd, always a nerd, I suppose ~ at least to a certain extent.
I still enjoy nerd-ish activities ~ computers, Renaissance Faires, and my most recent passion, Labyrinths.
However, I like to think my social skills have greatly improved since high-school.
School
I spent most of my time in the Computer Lab, before school, in at least one class most of the time, at Lunch, acting as a Teacher's Aide at least one period most of the time and after school.
I was in the Choir, which was the same period as French, so I had to learn most of the music on my own time. I actually got credit for both classes the same period that year.
Workplace
While still in High-School, I worked for and later ran a program teaching BASIC computer programming to 5th & 6th Graders.
I worked in the DVC Bookstore for a couple of years as a student worker / stock-room clerk. After returning from London, I went to work in the DVC Computer Lab, acting as much as a tutor as a tech. While still working there, I started working as an intern with my current employer.
I can't get into much in the way of details here, but I have worked for the same employer providing computer support in ...Expand for more
various capacities since 1988.
When I started I was part of a team of two and could count the number of PCs we had on two hands. I performed Systems Administration and some programming on two of "Mini-Computers" (they'd be called Servers now) the size of extra-wide side-by-side refrigerators. We used reel tapes like you used to see in the old movies when there was a computer. We had disk drives the size and shape of washing machines and you could pull the "disk pack" out to change it.
We've come a long way.
We now have a team of about seven and support well over 600 PCs - most of which are "small form factor" and many f which are Laptops, and over 30 Servers, most of which are the size PCs were shen I started. Recently our entire Management Team got Laptops with wireless access. My E-Mailbox and Calendar are tied to a Blackberry wireless phone on my belt. It has proven to be quite the productivity tool. I have a portable hard drive which fits in a shirt pocket and carry a couple "thumb drives" which are about the size of a small box of matches and hold over 65-Thousand times as much data than the biggest computers at the high-school.
As I said, things have changed.
