This is my introductory thread
« on: October 31, 2006, 10:13:04 PM »
So, where to start? I'm a web developer (mostly front-end: CSS, XHTML, templates, etc), full-time student (English major) and all-around good guy. I don't consider myself an "amateur," but still being a student I have some unconscious, unavoidable desire to help those that do. Hopefully I'll be able to help out, or at least drop the occasional sarcastic comment.

A good guy, huh?  Well, you can't finish last... that's my place.  But, you can have next to last.  That's open, I think.

You'll get over that "helpful" phase eventually.

That would be considered helping the rest of us.

Welcome new one.

I can handle third-from-last, though my therapist might need to be made aware of the situation.

Any community that rewards the possibility of college choice is a place for me. In answer: no, I'm actually a senior at a small liberal arts college in Nebraska (who knows what state that's in?)

WRONG.

Had you ever spent enough time there, or driving across it enough times, you would know that the correct answer is "the state of Despair".

 Rally huskers, glory waits for you,
Rally huskers, show what you can do
Fight! forever, Oh! you team,
For the scarlet and the cream,
Go! Gang Go!
Rally huskers, rally one and all.
Fight on, huskers, hear Nebraska call,
Listen to the battle cry,
Of Nebraska U. N. I.
