I'm o-juice/pkgb aka Pieter Swart. Yes, that means I'm Afrikaans by birth. I can speak, read and write English and Spanish too though. ^_^
I'm 20 years old and I'm a freelance web designer by profession. I am happily non-single and not looking for anyone new. I live in Centurion, Pretoria. Photos and some other miniscule details about me can be garnered from various parts of the 'net, here is one address where you can see some: http://www.sagaming.za.net/~o-juice I'm an admin on the Security section of PlanetMars and a Janitor (global forum moderator) on this board. I also have operator status in #sagaming which has long been considered as PlanetMars' official chat channel. All this "status" doesn't mean I'm unapproachable and if you ask around, most people ask me for help concerning just about everything (maybe I should be/was a barman in a previous life). I chat mostly on irc.blabber.net and occassionally on timewiz.zanet.net. I've been on IRC and generally the 'net since 1999/2000 which pretty much makes me a newbie. I can code in Turbo Pascal 6/7 and Delphi 4/5. Go to the Programming section on this board for a fuller description of what I've gotten my fingers dirty in when it comes to programming and general languages (like HTML). I am currently aspiring to become more competent in Perl coding and getting a car and place to stay/house of my own. If you do a google.com search for o-juice the first page you should see will be o-juice.net to which I have no affiliation (yet interestingly my previous nick pkgb does seem to be registered there). No, I did not rip off my nick from them. I chose this nick (o-juice) in 2001 when I started chatting on irc.blabber.net and first registered on this forum. I'm registered on Prophecy's board too as pkgb but I rarely post there since PlanetMars is the shitznitz. -------------------- |

Me real name is... unimportant.
I am 20 years old and work for a financial institution (no, I can't treansfer any money into your bank account). I am single right now, since I am no longer into those fly-by-night relationships and am looking for something real for a change. I have a half op status on #sagaming ( and I love getting kicked every now and then when I am on IRC  ).I have been on this board since February 2002. I was having trouble with my graphics card, came here to get some help, and stayed. That's about it as far as I go...

My real name is Martin. Ender is actually my gaming name, but since I'm a gamer before I'm anything else it automatically became my PM forum nick as well.
I'm a Mainframe operator (yes the guy that cleans the printer spool, loads tapes and the like) for the North West Province Government. As a result I'm pretty much stuck here in Mafikeng. I'm 22 last time I checked. Not quite single, but not quite a pair either. (If my GF sees this I'm dead) I considder myself to still be a newbie on PM. I've come in contact with some very interesting personalities here. Some I like, some I don't, others I can't stand, but I'll stick around for a long time to come. Until I get banned probably. -------------------- ARAGLIN (n. archaic) A medieval practical joke played by young squires on a knight aspirant the afternoon he is due to start his vigil. As the knight arrives at the castle the squires attempt to raise the drawbridge very suddenly as the knight and his charger step on to it. BANTEER A lusty and reucous old ballad sung after a particulary spectacular araglin (q.v.) has been pulled off. BEALINGS The unsavoury parts of a moat which a knight has to pour out of his armour after being the victim of an araglin (q.v.). In medieval Flanders, soup made from bealings was a very sligthly sought-after delicacy. |

I wanna get out of this and rip users PC's apart etc, set up the networks and be a network admin. Probably be heading Network Admins way once I get the MCP and MCSE sorted out. Tell me do you still work with the reel to reel tapes or are you at least on DLT or AIT tapes? /Wonders for a moment if Ender likes me.

But mostly were using the cartridges now. Also, we're getting an ACL so at least a lot of the hassle will go away. I think. Don't worry. I'm not planning to stay an operator for long. I'm already making friends with the development people. Hopefully I can get transferred there as soon as there's an opening. Oh and no fear, wazat, you have not made my shitlist yet
