I used to post at Jul from my old tutoring job, and I'd often be playing ROMs and such in class. Now, I work at home so I don't really go to work except for the weekly meetings, and then I'm busy talking to my boss and others. I do tend to whip out the laptop during my downtime on Wednesday and check Jul in between my last-minute physics lab work
Ikachan has taken over Jul, advertisement billboards, and now your whiteboard. I wonder what he'll take over next .
Unfortunately the number of computers in my school library is much too few compared to the number of students that we have so getting a computer is near impossible. I used to make posts from my computer science class last semester though .

Unless there's downtime. Then I'll usually be online or getting something else done.
Yeah, I'm lame.

I work at the Olive Garden. I am the host with most. The trickster of efficiency, the master of the polite, and the killer of downtime. Without me, the OG would be nothing.
Takes a lot for me to get stressed out. Usually during closing when it's hard to seat people with 4 servers on the floor.
Usually on my time off I lurk on Jul, work around a little bit around the house, and I play PS3 games.
Closest thing you can say I am is a Junior Systems Admin, part of a small team of 2.5 people who watch 30+ servers. I do all of my regular, everyday tasks in the first half hour I'm at work, and then I have 7.5 hours to work on other, current issues (if applicable), respond to urgent, production interfering issues (if applicable), or if none of the above are met, surf the internet and play sudoku all day.
This is all possible because were are a remote team, who work on-site rather than administrating from a separate office building. Fortunate, as we can physically interact with most of the servers, should the need arise.

I program software.
It's all school stuff, but I'm training to become a software engineer. Potentially, a PHD if things pan out.
My dream but not sure if possible goal is to program robots which shoot lasers at things, whether it be robots shooting lasers at rocks on mars to determine their content, or the next generation of UAVs. Whatever shoots lasers, I've always been keen on... lasers.
Heck, some run of the mill carving/milling machine lasers might be fun to program.
Though before I go there, I'm just learning how to engineer software.
Currently, I'm making an 8 X 8 tower of Hanoi game with two other people (one of whom develops openGL apps for iPhone stuff) and run two roleplays, a forum, mod the forum here, repair people's computers, and build websites from scratch with PHP/SQL/CSS/AJAX/whatever.
So basically, I'm a techno-head. While I don't hack SM64 myself, I have a good deal of knowledge just from the amount of overlap between it and what I study--software engineering--so, it has been sort of interesting modding that forum.
