    Office work...

    My Son-in-Law has a hyperactive mind and can't concentrate on only one thing at a time... He runs three businesses... Simultaneously, of course...

    Yep... 3 screens at work and home...

    Working on a PC with only one screen feels a little cramped...

    I can only cope with one at a time... Rudy is genuinely hypo in the brain dept. His body has real trouble keeping up. He came into NZ from Germany and in order to get a work permit had to do something on the skill shortage list. Being a computer/marketing/website design-build-SEO geek working as a consultant to major European companies he had to choose something else. When he was 17 he passed the German plumbing/gasfitting quals so chose that. Although he hadn't done plumbing since, and to get his NZ certs he had to cram four years study into eight months, he passed! He's got the kind of brain that picks up not only principles, but remembers regulations chapter and verse at first read. Plus he works very hard, usually getting to bed around 1am or later, (earlier?).

    I get exhausted just talking to him! Listening to him interact with clients and customers I am amazed at his depth of knowledge and his ability to think outside the square and resolve what seems at times impossible issues! Doesn't matter whether it's plumbing, gasfitting, drainage or solar, (He runs his own business, Euro Plumbing), or the intricate details of website design, build and SEM/SEO from the simplest of landing pages to scratch-building a large shop such as jamesblond.co.nz (His web biz is yhp.co.nz), he can seamlessly switch from one to the other on the next phone call!

    LOL! He can't sit still long enough! He's constantly shifting and moving. He does need to watch his diet though, he can't burn the calories off like he used to now he's in his 30's, and not on the tools anymore...

    Which region of Auckland does his plumbing/gasfitting business cover?
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    He's based in Panmure and covers the greater Auckland area with clients as far away as Warkworth. He's got a business partner now and that's both meant an increase in staff, Paul is a certifying gasfitter, and more time for him to be the boss rather than the worker and better able to deal with clients. 550-6202 or free-phone 0508-446 892

    You can lol if you like but it'll fuck him up :shrug:

    And yes he looks like he's heading towards being a fat linux nerd, but I didn't want to say anything.

    We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads. So I'm not fat, I'm just really intelligent and my head couldn't hold anymore so it started filling up the rest of me.

    Hope you are using a multi-factor authenticated VPN from Starbucks
