Last Note

If you know who I am, you may well know that the above is the tip of the iceberg. If it involves computers in any way (with the exception of hardware, which I avoid), I can learn it, do it, and be damn good at it faster and easier than almost anyone (If I'm not already there). I have aspirations towards acting as a Project Lead/Manager

If you don't know who I am, chances are I won't work with you unless you offer me lots of money and/or propose something really interesting to me (very cool projects/people or a 3-day/24hr work week). Otherwise, please don't bother me.
