I used to be both a computer tech (IT) guy and a digital artist and also was a videographer, video editor, video encoder, photo editor, 3D Modeler, 3D Animator, web designer and web developer, as well as a Commercial pre-press Technician, etc, etc amongst too many other things through my life.
In the military alone I held 7 MOS’s (Military Occupational Specialties) one of which was 25Z which is a Visual Information Chief and transitioned to that one from 25M which is Multimedia Illustrator.
I was also a government GS9 Audio Visual Information Specialist and a GS10 Illustrator.
In civilian I had 2 sideline business doing IT, computer repair and consulting, etc for both PC’s and Mac’s and 3 sideline businesses doing graphic design, web design, web e-commerce development, visual and audio product development etc, and Marketing.
These sideline businesses were during my years working regular jobs in civilian and while a part-time Army National Guardsman.
In the Military (both active Army and part-time Army Guard) I held the following MOS’s:
11B Infantry
91A/B Combat Medic
18D Special Forces Medical Sargeant
96B Intelligence Analyst
25M Myltimedia Illustrator
25Z Visual Information Chief
79T ARNG Recruiter
79T Marketing NCO
In civilian did everything from construction to IT, etc it seems.
Been in bad depression and health since 2006 and lost my drive after leaving the military and then my wife and daughter left me and I even became homeless for a stint before buying my first old 1960 something camper and living in it and now this Fifthwheel camper I live in.
Anyway I am trying to climb back out of that bad place and trying to get back into being productive again and have started clearing the cobwebs out my brain pan and doing digital illustration, graphic design, web e-commerce site development etc, again on a small scale to see how I handle the stress.
I keep my systems clean and uncluttered and free of too many apps and utilities not used for specific focuses.
So my Design station is used for photo editing, digital art, graphic design, website and e-commerce site development.
My Video Editing station is used solely to capture and edit video footage, transcode/encode video and audio as well as perform videoediting, compositing and rendering tasks.
My 3D Modeling station is used solely for 3D Modeling, animating 3D scenes and characters, rendering 3D scenes and characters.
My Media Server hosts all of my entertainment, video, movies and audio music stored on multiple hard drives via Plex Server and serves it out to other devices throughout with Plex clients installed on them such as mobile phones, TV’s, FireTV Sticks/Boxes, Roku’s, other computers, etc.
2 iMac 21” computers are used for various tasks as well as are my two laptops (1 Macintosh and 1 Windows 7 system) being used for various tasks. My 3rd Laptop (Alienware M17x) I hacked to run run Windows 7, Macintosh OSX and Linux all on the same laptop and can boot into which ever Operating System (OS) I desire to use.
All systems are networked together with 1 Gigabyte speed routers via cat5e cabling and WiFi and I use a hub system to distribute the Cat5e cabling, coax cabling and telephone cabling. Have not strung wire into the walls and ceiling yet though so cabling is a nightmare until I do.
All 4 Desktop Windows 7 computers use a KVM switch with dual monitor output and usb to feed 1 monitor each from each of the 2 video cards in each computer through the switch so each computer can use the same two monitors and one keyboard and mouse and is it is easy switch each computer back and forth to the same two monitors, single keyboard and single mouse.
Sincerely,
