Me and a few other folks developed a mobile platform to do inspections within the FDA. We found in the proof of concept that there were over 50% savings in time in the overall inspection process from issuing the inspection to final report writing

So basically, every investigator in the FDA will be carrying around a tablet device into the field with a logic based intelligent questionnaire to do and write their inspections

I was only supposed to be the training specialist on it, but would up being the human interface specialist

I kinda fell into this unexpectedly

Technically, I'm supposed to be training people on how to use the proprietary systems we use in the FDA to sort, store and move data. That's my day job

Sometimes this collection of odd-minded individuals (IH community) with our common & not so common interests seems like the most stable thing in my life.  Having a lot of internal struggles lately, and I appreciate all the love you guys give each other & the strange internet support system that has spawned from it.

Serious post is serious.

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time man.
You're definitely one of the key ingredients in this crazy IH forum stew we got going (not gonna pick favorites, but you're up there)…
I also appreciate the "strange internet support" and those who give it.

Hoping things will be looking up, and hey, you should channel as much angst as you can into that denim duel...

Seriously though, big salute for being real (and always only contributing quality pics and thoughts).

Jestre,  Try and keep smiling - which I know you do.  And lets's see some more duelling because we love that….G

Take care, Jestre.

Sincere reply is sincere.

Just did my finances and if I'm really careful I might be able to get the IHSH-55 by the end of the month…

Much love to you Jestre, hang in there my friend!

Great Seul, hope it works out!

@Giles:

This is rather brilliant.

I must admit, I often fall into the pedant category- my excuse is both the argument for clarity, as well as a perhaps more defensible position that it is necessary to understand the rules and the underlying purpose of them in order to know when and how to break them effectively and creatively.

Perhaps Fry is right, though, and I should concentrate less on tedious convention and more on joyful expression.
