Your stuff looks good--it's just lean and clean.

You need to make some SP stuff, where you're not worried about that guy in his garage playing on dial-up.

I'm qualified IMO, but my portfolio is a mess sitting on one of those spare hard drives I have lying all over the place. I need to start putting stuff back together. Otherwise, I'll have a really pretty resume with nothing to show for it.

You lack organisational skill then.

I'm far from ready, happy with mapping as a hobby and I need to finish university first anyways - sounds like a very good opportunity though. Good luck to everyone who applies!

Not missing any organizational skills normally. It's more like I have the uncanny ability to quickly mirror everything off of my computer just before some fatal crash (which is really another asset).

Yeah, that's quite handy indeed. I upload all my stuff to a private directory on my ftp/webserver. The times of loosing things due to broken HDDs are finally gone.

Ecternal HDDs are a good choice, too.

when something is about to fatal crash on my pc... i threaten it with a gun...
