Hey everyone feels like forever since I've constructed a thread like this....
I hope to hear from you where your life has taken you.
I guess ill start.
2013 prior not alot.
2013 graduated universty
2014-2015 further studying in arizona, USA mostly in computer design & coding
2016 Moved to tokyo for holiday.
2017 - start-year, Moved permanently.
2017-Present living just west of tokyo, Japan.
Working for a small development company with UI/PHP frontend and backend designer in the inner city of tokyo.
For reasons i can't disclose what company i work for.
Still currently studying Japanese. but proud enough to work in a company & country with very loose association to the english language.
How truthful should wee be? ;)
Those who checked in with my blog postings will know I lived in Spain for a long time, and got some work experience in an office first doing telemarketing then moving to IT Admin/Support.
Then in late 2012 I moved to London, worked in a white goods / electronics store over the holidays and then early 2013 I got a job at a Digital Media company doing content delivery stuff which I was pretty good at so I've stayed there working my way up the ladder bit by bit.
I have a real love/hate relationship with this city. I love it for its live music, cinemas and parks. I hate it for its pace - a constant rush is the opposite of my natural temperament, haha. Also the tension/hostility that you feel from people living here, and how snobby and fake they can be.
I'll escape eventually, but for now, for work, it's okay.
before 2015: not a lot
late 2016: ran out of money during college had to drop out to get work that paid bills
early 2017: moved back to my hometown, wage down, hours down, taxes down, final pay up
late 2017: got promoted to dept head
early 2018: promoted to manager
now: fixing my previous mistakes

Ah lame, need to keep in touch with you more, man. Was planning on going this year (maybe).
2013 - graduated with IT degree.
2013 - Now - been working various IT jobs since. With a pretty sweet company for the past 2 years and am just growing and learning with them.
Hope everyone is doing well!
Interesting developments.
Me, I've been living and working at the same place for the past 6 years or so. Still doing the same things.
Maybe I need a change...
Mechanical engineer here, building the immortal kombat machines.
Wow, I've been here since 09... Lol I was like 22. Now I'm 32. I went to college to be a software developer. Had two daughters, bought a condo. Started development of Android ROMs on xda, I'm now a senior member there. I'm one of the developers of ROTT(retro pie on the Tinkerboard). Working on a new Android system for the Tinkerboard, lots of Debian and Ubuntu projects. I'm a mad scientist, where I used to just tinker under the hood.
Nothing much on this side
2013 - 2016 still in school; did some cool interships along the way, graduated with a Computer Science degree.
2017 was depressed and lost all hope in life (job applications); just wasted the days away.
2018 got a job at a small software company; reignited my passion for life and this field in general. I think money makes a huge difference, I hate it when people say it's not a big deal >:(
2019 still here, just the fact I'm getting paid to write stuff is awesome; it lets me stay in the damn field and become better.
I still waste time all the time :)
Now where the FUCK are my responses
It's been a long trip but, working in IT now for the state, Good money to be made. running big discord servers and still working on Fucking PSP's, some guy in shenzhen started making some really nice full shells for psp's that have some good fit and finish. its been easier to get parts for re-shelling old systems so that's a plus.
