Welcome to this Message Board

feel free to tell us about yourself in this thread, hit reply and tell us about yourself and ask us here to go lenient on you for being a newbie

Your title is that of Newbie until you have ammassed more than 50 posts I think.. I forget

This doesnt mean you must post nonsense till your posts reach 50

I'll simply delete your posts and reduce your post count to a negative number. Which I dont like doing ...

but anyway

I'll start this off

No kids, but many "adopted" siblings...

One of the few PMLadies, which is unfortunate

Uhm...That's bout it I think...

hello there ppl
this is like group counselling

well, my name is Darryl, my second name is not important.

I'm in STD.8 at the same hell hole that Ninja_mo goes to (bleh)

i'm 15 years old

I have various sources of income, the main one being my parents

no kids, no girl-friends (bleh #2)

i've been around on this board since it's "re-launch", i was on it before, just didn't post.


that's about it, oh and, i've been off the dope for a couple years now

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.

Hi my name is Jason and I'm a recovering alcoholic (Nah not really but my name is correct, always wanted to say that and hear what it sounded like in my head... Yes I am quite sain I assure you)

I am 22 years old and work as a Systems Admin for a firm of accoutants in Cape Town...

I am happily attached to the love of my life... we havn't got hitched yet but plan to one day in the future...

I am also an Admin (BOFH) on this fourm however unlike Rush I havn't been offered any partnership with anybody (Note to self: speak to rush about shares in PlanetMars)... I also have op status on blabbernet's #sagaming...

I have been around since the inception of the very first PlanetMars message board eons ago and only recently (couple of months) came across the #sagaming channel on IRC...

That's about me I think... Enjoy your stay here with us

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...

yo..
My name is Craig

14 years old

Same shit hole (yes same school) as DoctorMoo and Ninja Mo and same home as doctorMoo (puke )

single,

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.

I'm Adam (duh)

I'm 20 and work in IT department at a Medical Company as Network & User Support.

Signed up here in August 2001, seen the board go through hell, but come back on tops. I'm here every day except weekends (no need for internet at home)

When I signed up, I was a newbie to the internet etc & hence used my first name.

Save yourself Ender. I got stuck in that position Years ago. Thankfully they moved me into a support side but still it is prettty crap. 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.

There are some reel to reel still about. 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

I'm Christo
I work for Intelligence Publishing.

Research is the in word there. Depending on your job description that is. Just tell the boss that you have a problem in this or that program and you get a lot of help from the members on this site, Might help to add a few questions just incase he enquires....

Anyways welcome to PM, now get a hold of some more ladies for this wonderfull forum....

Howdy,

Although I've already made a couple of posts on the boards, I guess I might as well introduce myself

I'm Dhiren, from Durban. I'm 22 years old, with a gorgeous girlfriend who's currently in medical school. I've go a BSc Honours degree in computer science, and I'm a software developer at a kewl company in Umhlanga.
I'd label myself as a geek. I try to play the guitar, and mess about with my computer whenever I have time.

I'm all over that...they have whoopass, in a can.

Oh blast, I've wandered into the damn spotlight...cough-cough:

Hello, I'm Steph. There's an interesting story behind my nickname and I'll be sure and fill you in once I come up with it.

Already on the downhill slide to 29 and then the big Three-oh's hot on it's heels. Been stalking the back alleys of cyberspace since '97, and am recovering nicely from the rigours of usenet -but I refuse to go cold turkey!

I draw my wages as a SysAdmin on that four-letter-word operating system, but get offended when I'm actually required to earn them.

When I have time to read, it's usually Pratchett or Adams (shame about his demise) because they're two of the few who get IT.

Ok, that's enough now...get that goddamn light out of my face.

I am ... Tyler
I am 14 and a half (a half is very important.
I am a student
I like web designing and Counter-Strike as you will find out soon

Welcome Lea, nice to see ladies joining our community. Hope you enjoy it here. :thumbsup:

aCe, Rush can you guys change the profile to pmLadies please. By the way Klaaretjie and mackenziepiper need theirs changed too.

Welcome Padowun,
Hope we will see you in the Linux section soon.

Holly crap, most people don't even seem to know where Welkom is, and here's a guy who actually lives there, and surprise surprise, did what evey smart person who used to live there or near there did (Talking form Experiance) moved away. BRAVO

The place with the round-abouts and the Horseshoe. I stayed there too. That was until 1978/9. Came from England and first place my parents put up home, slap bang in the middle of Afrikaaner country. Can imagine how hard it was for them, not knowing a word of afrikaans....

Carefull what you say about the place where I spent 18 years!!

My parents still live there and I may see it as like insulting my mother...

...what, WHAT YOU SAID "BOUT MY MOTHER???!!!!......

Now I've lived in some dumps in my life, but Welkom? Heh, so far I havn't been THAT unluky.

Welkom a dump? Kuk man, it's better than Pietersburg (aka Polokwane). Lot more LANs there than in PBurg. It also looks better than PBurg, IMHO!

WTF said anything about Petersburg?
