Post subject:  Hi!

Thought I should probably introduce myself! People appear to be quite friendly so I will try and pop in every now and again to say hello!

I work in Durham (UK) as a code monkey and like to dabble with hardware (but I'm no expert!)

Currently throwing together a windows home server and an upgrade to my main machine - should look like this:

Glad you made it over to the meeting place.
Things can go a bit crazy here but it's all fun.

Feel free to join in with anything that's here (the 24 hour random rubbish thread is in full swing at the moment)

Welcome!

What's your language of choice?

And it could be worse.... you could work a few miles away in Peterlee ;)

Welcome, pull up a mushroom, pass the twiglets and make yourself at home :lol:

P.S. BobbDobbs has a bit of a complex where John_Vella is concerned...J_V is made of Awesome :lol: I think the Dobbinator is afraid to admit that, but his counselling should help. He's right about HK and Sas though.

Wow things do go off topic and random quickly don't they:)

I also grow chillis for another bit of off topic fun!

Do you have to keep them warm? Or are they grown in the fridge?
