My philosophy ever since my theppn.org days is to make use of the pool of talent inside the community as much as possible. I try not to depend entirely on the goodwill of others, but its always great when members contribute instead of having to do everything yourself. I'm sure you all have noticed this by now.

So now I want to make an inventory of the talents available in this forum. So for example I would like to know the following info to gauge people's abilities:

- What do you do for a living/What do you study
- Aside your work/study, what hobbies do you have that require some form of skill
- What have you done or been part of that could be considered impressive, even if just in a slight way.
- What are you good at? What can you do?

You don't have to be detailed, just the area of work or type of job is enough.
And of course, I'm looking for skills that could be useful to us, like video editing and graphic design (as opposed to cooking and vehicle maintenance).

And don't call us. We will call you.

[Gorm]

I have no relevant skills. . .

[DarkScorpion]

Then get the fuck out of my thread. This is not for human failures.

[Gorm]

Because all human achievement is measured on stuff to do with video editing and forum management.

[Falcon]

Yes it is Gorm, yes it is.

I know a bunch of database, programming and networking bullshit but some how I don't think thats what you need. However if you ever do!

Of course not, silly. The amount of BLT pictures you own is also a very important factor.

No because everyone here is a master at that.

Since I have no skills and can bring nothing to the table I should get out of here now.

Only if you do it onto BLTs/Photobooks and then take pictures, then it's art. x'D

Having spent a large part of my working career in Electronics manufacturing and repair, I'm not sure that much of my skill set would be any use to you. However, I did work in the Quality Department for a number of years and, aside from inspection work, etc., also had to amend, clarify or create quality documentation used in various processes. I guess my main assets are a methodical approach and an eye for detail, which, perhaps, might be of use if you required assistance with QC on any projects?

@Hoopums: I took a look at that page you did layout design on. Are you in the USAF? I'm just curious 'cos I'm an aviation enthusiast myself.

college student, Advanced Diploma in Gaming and Animation

I play a lot of musical instruments, and I know how to record on edit stuff digitally. I also know how to sketch/draw stuff and know how to color/edit them digitally.

- What have you done or been part of that could be considered impressive, even if just in a slight way.
i dunno, really.

- What are you good at? What can you do?
see the answers above.

[DarkScorpion]

Didn't you also posses some moonspeak skills?

[hina]

i only know basic conversational japanese, and around 200+ kanji, no formal training. I just got into it because of the songs and the fandom I guess.

I was actually hired as a civilian for the 21st SFS/SFAI for something unrelated. It got around that I was good with computers and I ended up helping another Airmen with the site. I didn't get any extra pay, but I got in the paper and got a pretty certificate for it.

Thanks for answering my query, Hoopums. It never occurred to me that the USAF might have civilian contractors - I'm not sure why, since the UK MoD makes extensive use of civilian contractors too. Peterson AFB must be a pretty interesting place to work - I see they have quite a cool Air & Space Museum too. It sucks you didn't get any extra money (to spend on AKB swag! ), but congratulations on winning a certificate for your work!

[HPMS]

^ Thanks. The building I worked in was right next to the NORAD HQ building too. It's quite interesting to work in a building where people walk around carrying M16's

Unless your occupation is to stack rocks, your professional life may be of some use to the forum.

[yayaomo]

^I with with health consulting and management. Well, if u have health insurance, come to Brazil, get sick, go to one of the hospitals I work for and need to stay there for some days, then yes, I will be of much use for you.

[j38]

It all depends on your health insurance coverage. If it covers, then pleas,e be my guest. We really are in need of foreign patients lately. February has been a freaking slow month.

[korp]

^OK, I'll remember when I travel to Brazil then.

[Divvy]

I know much about home theater and audio equipment related things like TV's, speakers, subs, headphones, room acoustics etc. Definitely not helpful to the forum. But if you ever need tips on speaker/sub placement, improving room acoustics etc. I'll talk your ear off.

Oh those kind of skills count, i'm semi-pro at the art of groping.

[opensky]

My hobby is music production, primarily making Hip Hop/ RnB beats. If I can be of any use, let me know.

oh, I also graduated from the Ange Institute of Groping and Molestation.

[DarkScorpion]

Can you make remixes?

Yeah, I made a couple of H!P ones a few years ago (more like mashups) but get me some AKB acapellas and I'll give it a shot

[DarkScorpion]

Which remixes were yours? I heard pretty much all the HP remixes made if they were spread around through the usual channels.

[opensky]

There was a 7Air/Gwen Stefani one, a Sakura Gumi/ T.I. one and a MM/Damian Marley one. I posted them on H!O at the time and also the bbs right before the big data loss, so you may have missed them.

I've uploaded the SakuraGumi/T.I. one to my folder if you want to check it out. It was nothing special, just me fooling around back then. I think I could make better ones now.

[DarkScorpion]

Can you upload the others as well?

[opensky]

^ Sure, I've put them in there now. 4 in total.

[tetsu]

I do art & 2d/3d graphics for a living. of my many and varied skill sets
that is probably the only one of relevant use to this forum.

[lolcat]

- What do you do for a living/What do you study: Medicine... u_u which is pretty useless unless you want to know a detailed explanation of what went on in Yuko's appendicectomy, or how serious Erena's anemia can be

- Aside your work/study, what hobbies do you have that require some form of skill: None at all... I do keep a blog that has a fair share of visitors, though... Which would make me skilled in writing long ass over analysis of anything AKB related and screencapping until my fingers go numb here's the link in case you want to check it out... http://intlwota.com/aitakatta

[DarkScorpion]

Ooooh. I seen your blog before.

Actually that could be one of the things we are looking for.

[lolcat]

yaaay! Count me in for anything you might possibly need!
