Finished a BSc (Management Science) a few months back to add to a BCom (Information Systems), and am also doing a GradDip in Emergency Services Management. Looking at moving into Risk Mgt/Emergency Mgt/ Civil Defence etc. Have a love hate relationship with technology, partly why I have moved away from general IT, but will still use my knowledge in the fields of risk/emergency mgt. Still a geek at heart, play with Linux, etc. Like outdoors, mainly golf and hiking. Cheers Gav Quote Link to comment

Guest Morseman Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 Hi, a new geocacher here. Only one, easy, cache found so far. For a living, I work in the energy industry with a company called Powergen (we own a couple of USA Utilities, but are about to be bought by a German Utility) as a Technical Consultant. Basically, I was an Electrical Engineer, then I persuaded people to change from gas or oil to electricity, then I helped Powergen (when it was first started 11 years ago) to gain and retain Industrial and Commercial customers) and now I sort out the mess when things go wrong. My other interest is Amateur Radio, though I've taken the antennas down, and dismantled the shack, though I was heavily into APRS which is related to geocaching by the use of GPS receivers and programs to plot stations on maps. de Dave (G0DJA) ------------------ --... ...-- Morseman [This message has been edited by Morseman (edited 25 November 2001).] Quote Link to comment
