[The Barge Captain]

Inspired by advice from JayW on finance, how about an ongoing thread where members post what their skill bases are, and if you think someone has a skill that might help your individual need then PM them

E.g I served my time as a maintenance spark, then worked on photo processing machines, pallet wrappers, production line assemblies and test rigs, and fire alarms.

Oh, and i'm also quite quick at changing nappies.

[Gaffers]

Hmmmm ok:

-I'm a dab hand at installing networks and troubleshooting PCs.  
-Can still program in the following languages (although I may be a bit rusty to start with) asp, java, javascript, c, c++, VB+A, sql, php.
-I am competant with epoxy and fibreglass and I am still learning about woodwork
-I know a bit about sailing yachts and dinghies
-I know a fair bit about mountaineering, fell walking and outdoor safety
-Mechanical skills are sound but now the omega is going expect this to dwindle somewhat.
-Fluent in French (nearly native level) if you need anything translating


-The fun stuff:
-I can get a 1" grouping at 200m with ironsight (G3 not the poxy SA80)
-I am a bit of a dab hand with firearms in general, including their security and maintenance
-I can get a 432 sideways and airbourne (and then fix it afterwards   )

[Martin_1962]

Very competent at various XBASE family languages. Very good at designing databases for quick access and small footprint, mainly XBASE format, using Advantage Database Server. Was good at Netware but let it all slip and since we don't do hardware anymore apart from reinstalling Windows not so hot on operating systems. Khow and use a bit of C and C++, managed to hide from VB as it is horrid

Pretty good at video filming and editing, good at setting up home electronics, competent solderer, good at repairing things

[jjleonard]

Got an MCSE but it's very old, so nearly worthless.

Experienced in IT contract management and legal documentation, TUPE transfer, BSF contract negotiation. (all nearly useless here, I'll admit, but it pays the mortgage!)

Strong written english skills, as I write tender submissions all day, can help with CVs etc if needed.

Strong at presentations - not necessarily writing them, but delivering them is a strong point (and will get better soon as I'm being sent on a presentation skills course too!)

I can surf the internet like a pro.
