Hello. I'm not going to purport to be anymore hardcore anything than the rest of you. There will be those of you who are smarter, better educated, wealthier, more handsomer, and wittier. It's going to be the sum of my qualities that make me what I am.

That said, I live in NW Illinois, am in my late 20's, and have been in the IT/tech support field for several years. Spend a lot more free time on the computer than I used to. Mostly for gaming, webpage work, images, elementary programming, simple Internet use, and all that jazz. I have a great admiration for the old school, and don't usually follow hype and don't pick up on new fads/technologies until they've had a chance to be tested and proven.

I think that's probably a decent intro. So, hello!

welcome, neophyte.

Kidding? No, that's what we humans call mistakes. It happens when you're interrupted while typing. I'm sorry that the most memorable part for you of my welcome post was an error.

Hello!

In 5 words or less, please comment in detail about your feelings on the topic of "That stuff slugs leave behind on the ground." or "Pill bugs/Rolly Polly bugs".

Thanks to you for the warm welcome. I'm looking forward to insightful if not entertaining banter.

Feels good, wouldn't eat it.

Soooooo. You don't think the banter is entertaining around here.

Welcome anyway, I suppose.

Au contraire, mi amigo. The banter is scrumtrelescent, as it were.

call me a sleep deprived asshole, if you must... but still... at what point in that post would you have been interrupted to make that sort of mistake?

I won't call you a sleep deprived asshole, I won't even offer an excuse that'll vindicate me. I'll just say I was typing "handsome" the phone rang, I continued typing -"er" not paying attention that I'd already preceded it with "more" beforehand.

Is establishing a grammar nazi regime what you do for fun here?

Hey, just 'cause I goosestep to my keyboard doesn't mean I'm some sort of Grammar Nazi!

Uber · « **Reply #21 on:** August 03, 2006, 06:55:27 PM »

Not at all ihatecliches, This is probably the most entertaining "Hello World" post I've had in a forum. It looks like a variety of character I'm sure you can't find just anywhere. Thanks for the additional welcomes since my last post!

Scheherazade · « **Reply #22 on:** August 04, 2006, 07:32:16 AM »

Yes, and you're doing good karma-wise as well.

TerrorDronze · « **Reply #23 on:** August 04, 2006, 03:46:57 PM »

i'm not a grammar nazi, i just don't like otherwise intellegent people going and making themselves seem like they've got an IQ equal to their waist size.

and if i haven't said it already, welcome to the geekery.
