TimTheFoolMan's Journal: Intro/Bio

I suppose I should write a little about myself here, though for the life of me, I can't figure out why anyone would want to read it.

I was born in 1961, and have lived in the Midwestern US (KY) all my life. I currently manage custom development projects for a large (Fortune 100) HVAC controls company. It's a small team (I have only 4 direct reports), but we're able to learn new technologies quickly, and put together solutions from many different disciplines.

I've got an Associates Degree in Electrical Engineering Technology (generally, for people who want to fix things, as opposed to designing them), but have worked in Electronic Sales/Engineering, written software (C/C++) for life-safety systems, and written a fair amount about C++ and Delphi programming. As a programmer, I am almost completely self-taught.

In my younger days, I delivered singing telegrams, sold hi-fi equipment, worked as a DJ in an oldies club, and worked as a stage tech building sets for a local dinner theater. I still do a bit of entertaining from time to time, but generally restrict myself to church groups or community theater.
