Want do you all do for a living?

[Dannyc]

Well, for starters, I work as:

- System Administrator for an ISP here in the Philippines. (graveyard shift)
- President of PPTN, non-stock, non-profit organization
- Webmaster for various sites
- SysOp of 10 years (whew!) for a BBS locally.
- part-time SOLO/Slaloms race driver
- part-time rally driver/navigator
- part-time race mechanic

Last, but not least, a single parent for my 3-year old daughter named Dianne! and damn proud of it too!

I've always been fascinated by knives, and I'm glad to see that there are a lot of people who shares a common interest, too!

From computers, to cars, to cutlery, what more could a guy ask for?

I am a freelance photographer, and while I do a little of almost everything, most of my work is for labor organizations and publications.
I have been toting since 12 years old (60 now) and the only kind of knife I have ever carried, including in the military, has been some form of multitool: Boy Scout, SAK, Leatherman (varieties of each.) I can't imagine how anyone not surrounded by tools all day can get along without one. I use mine multiple times every day, whether I need to or not ;-)
