    Hello to all. Just joined at the advice of TeeCee :). I'm a fan of Linux and most things open source. Hoping to both contribute as well as learn a thing or 3 while I'm here ;).

    Anyway, I live in Northen Lower Michigan, work at a decommisioned Nuclear Power Plant and have a wife and a 10yr. old son. I took a couple of courses for Linux back in 2000 plus read as much as I could on it as well. Around the spring of 2005 I got interested in the phpBB software and was actually doing well in helping people troubleshoot problems with the Attachment MOD, and eventually got my own domain and would pre-MOD the phpBB software with that MOD as well as customize boards with just about any MOD that a person would ask for. I didn't/don't create the MOD's, but would take the available MOD that individuals could not get to work and make them work. Did that for a couple months then had the option to go full time at work but on midnights, took it, and the forum software took a waaaay back burner!

    Enough for now, when I get a little more time, I'll check out the whole site as it looks very interesting!

    Thanks for the welcome everone!

    After I take some time at home to take both pictures and video of one or both my computers that I am having trouble with, I'll post 'em here as I am almost lost as to the cause. But that's for another thread.

    I did see something scary tonight on my way in to work. It was that white stuff (I won't say that really bad sn*w word ;) ) falling from the sky! I'm just not ready for it!

    Thanks again for the welcome, and I'll see ya all around!
