I work for a land resource agency (a Conservation Authority - CA) in Ontario. There are over 30 such agencies and we're one of the largest. Across those agencies there are only a handful of programmers/database guys. All CAs have tons of data, especially geographic and they pretty much all have GIS staff. In a typical CA, a GIS specialist also looks after non-spatial databases, looks after IT infrastructure and sometimes writes code.
CAs have a closed message board and I'm a regular contributor to a forum called "OK, You're IT", but sometimes to GIS specific ones too.
I've also lectured at every annual CA GIS/IT conference since they began (I was one of the founders), covering topics like data normalization, SQL Injection on websites, advanced querying techniques and application development.
I use SO, but I don't contribute there (being a generalist), they have contributors who have much more focus on specific technologies (as we do here). I used to contribute to VB and Access forums in the past.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

I post on a few select LinkedIn groups and occasionally visit Quora. As for articles, they all go here.

CP is the last online site I really care about. Chances are I'll never frequent another site as much as this one.

I have a blog for Excel and VBA, mainly a private matter but not locked from public view.
Also, there are a number of sites where I'll waste time explaining the right way to get things done with Excel and VBA.
Other than that, I've been known to contribute my wisdom to some political forums.

I spend a fair bit of time at TheFirearmsForum giving and getting technical guidance on various topics that are probably not of much interest to folks here.
Will Rogers never met me.

I wouldn't define what I do here as "contributing", so I don't contribute to any forums at all.

It's not new, so some of you have probably seen it before but this little boys Dad[^] works for Dreamworks and he makes these videos for him. My kids love it and want me to do it for them.

I think this is great!
If you have the skills to do something like this, then I'm sure your kids would appreciate it.

That's cool. I wonder what software they use. Hopefully not Adobe anything.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job?
