" milko is an infrequent visitor. He's still big in a firm that handles electronic signage for major sport events (I think) "
This is about right, I think. We do some other stuff as well, like multimedia "stuff" in retail shops and AR for mobile and things. But most of my work is about the sport still. We did a management buyout a year or so ago - well, I say "we" but I am the most junior member of it and basically had no involvement beyond signing a few things at the very end, so I have a theoretical small slice of some pie if we ever actually make something of it. Could be good! Bloomin' well hope so, at least, it won't ever be yacht money but if I ever want to retire it's probably the only way I can get there.
I still have the bookmark for this place quite prominent so I wander by without the need for email notifications (which are probably turned off actually)
Hello, yes, in Ajax, Pickering Village, to be precise. How about you? What area?
Hello!
Like everyone I miss forums.
I used to go to gigs a lot but cut back a few years ago and then the pandemic happened. Looking to find gigs to go to and all the old ticket sites are gone and there are no forums to ask and Facebook is...not what I want to use.
I have the Twit and Insta but barely do anything there either.
One of the things I miss about forums is actually being able to avoid spoilers as they were sectioned off as opposed to being shouted at whoever is in listening range.
*rants over*
As for me, I have worked as an IT department for a school but now am at Halfords. Started as a 'fitting bits to cars' guy, then up to Bike Technician and now a Duty Manager.
Taken up hiking and camping (no, John) over the last few years.
Also game quite a bit. Not so much Counter-Strike (although I want to get back into it for 2.0) but Battlefield and now Sim Racing. Got the steering wheel and pedals and about to put together a cockpit. Will likely get PSVR2 as well as I can't really afford PC VR at the moment.
I got into simracing in the pandemic too! Assetto Corsa Competizione, on PC. And yeah, in VR via a Quest 2, in a cockpit rig. It’s ludicrous really but I enjoy it so much. Never cared about cars, never watched the races. Well, actually, the other week I went to British GT at Oulton Park to see some of these cars I spend so much time pretending to drive. But even then I didn’t really follow what was going on very much.
If anybody wants to join a friendly Thursday night league of racers, let me know! We are a wide mix of ability and very welcoming.
I've been going to Brands Hatch for a few years now for the (now Fanatec) GT World Challenge. Great fun seeing cars go round what I've been racing on.
Raced in a couple of friendly leagues the last few years but work most Thursday evenings. Are they a commit to a full season at a time place? (like every league i've ever been in :D )
