Web Developer at Serato

Serato makes DJ software that's used all around the world by big name DJs like A-Trak, Spinbad and Jazzy Jeff (Yes, the guy from Fresh Prince lol)

I also moonlight as a DJ, so it's a pretty good match, IMO

Yeah me too, I used to take 3 months off work every summer and just bum out but eventually responsibilities catch up with you.

I really like my job and the people I work with, sure if I won Lotto I'd quit but it could be a lot worse I could be stuck doing something I don't like at all.

Post by: massi4h on July 06, 2010, 05:48:34 PM
Total actual prize money I've won is about $2500, but the rest have all been cool prizes like my monitor, had a phone worth $1000 which I gave to my sister but broke this year, ipod nano, ipod touch, $1000 Noel Leeming voucher (bought our new oven lol), probably nearing $400 of timezone credit.

Most of it got spent while overseas, sharing with parents, etc. Had to use student loan living costs last year to buy my xbox and I'm still living off student benefits. Just lucky super hasn't come out at yifans yet cause I spent a shitload last year there.

You had to pick out of the Arcade cars. I went with S class and i think it was either the Viper GTS or the Camaro, can't remember which one i decided on. The guy who was in the final with me fucked up on the 11th lap, overlapped the dirt by a fraction and spun the fuck out lol.

Can't wait for GT5.
