I got my internship through this forum. I owe the contributors of this forum a lot of the insight i have on various topics/areas.... Am just saying.... On Sat, Dec 5, 2009 at 2:51 PM, Simon Mbuthia <simon.mbuthia@gmail.com>wrote:
The reason people are talking about the death of skunkworks is because it seems to be oened by certain individuals. Now don't get me wrong, what I mean is... were skunkers involved in setting these rules that dictate what is or is not to be posted, or even the conduct of members on the forum?
Some one predicted the death of Skunk works ?
Is this the beginning ?
Some of us are made aware of events through skunkworks [not hostile] but general public information.
And that is why people label the disclaimer "Off Topic" - which invites you to ignore or read on..
And depending on your mood at work, an "Off Topic" can take matters off mind on a heavy day..
I thought true 'geekdom' is born, and it can also be grown...
Topics like : IT, ICT, sci-fi, mechanics, business
->job adverts [friends have been made aware of jobs/ opportunities thru this list and thats why they can afford internet to contribute]
-business and investment [ the other day we warned members about investing in companies going down like Old Mutual] - you could be affected directly or indirectly...
-travel and sports - [i saw a post about the rugby team or 'team posers' being denied access to dubai] - i think in ur travels as a business man or IT person, it wud be good to know some things - and that's by readin other's contributions
-I guess we come from different fields, where each feels at home at Skunkworks - some of us are at liberty to discuss our jobs, some are not

but non the less - we read and contribute to the posts when we have some information or knowledge on the matter...
Take for example - the other day guys were discussin 'Thermostats' and later 'Tyres Inflation' - is this tech or not ? Its not IT, but its technical...
Sci-fi topics - I like this - why ? They are based on facts or theories of science - its because of movies like '24' that we have maps on our phones, because it made someone think..
Star Trek, Minorit report etc: most of that technology is now within reach because it triggered someone's imagination....
My 15 cents...
