I implement search engines for companies or portals. In fact my most recent deployment is Twing - Forum Search and Community Discovery which searches forums like these. In face it ONLY searches forums not web pages. Our API is almost ready so we'll be able to replace the standard vBulletin search for forums with a much better one if anyone is interested.
For the last three years I have been fighting my way back to health from 2 back surgeries. I find out tomorrow if a 3rd is needed. Other than that I was finally released for work 3 months ago and I now dispatch semi's right here from my house. I got remarried 4 years ago to an incredible lady. We are a blended family of 4 daughters and 2 granddaughters. We are in our mid 40's. I am also an Air Force Veteran.
11 year law enforcement veteran and pretty new to the forum. Was getting a little stale in my career until a couple of years ago my daughter was born with some health problems. Insurance paying over a million bucks for the medical bills and watching her fight through all that she did gave me a new appreciation for the job. I thank God every day for it. (By the way, the baby is healthy now.)
Still teaching forestry/natural resources via internet and still driving a Freightliner carrying electrical supplies two/three nights a week. What is NEW is that I just collected my first retirement checks from the CALSTRS in May! I am officially a retired geezer !
I think everyone knows I build decks, nice ones at that. Photo's are in the OT thread. I do not know why I waited so long to get into this one. Now everyone knows where my user name came from. I am not a card sharpie.
