Ah, someone wants to know about the wooden penguin incident. Well, you see, I was a sheltered child. I didn’t get out much, so I pretty much kept to myself most of the time and played with my toys (including a wooden penguin). Then, I met Exfoliate and his bro. First impression: I chased them around the house with my wooden penguin on wheels, screaming at them and flailing the penguin dangerously. I honestly don’t know why they still associate with me I haven’t changed much…'cept for the boyish “rat-tail” I had. Uggghh…

Exfoliate · July 3, 2006, 4:10am

I really want pics of your former rat-tail clad self, a bit of nastalga never hurt anyone.

UnSeEn · July 3, 2006, 4:19am

Fortunately, I don’t have a pic of my younger self, but I do have this:

The one on the far right is me

By the way, I’m pretty sure I’m not mentally retarded.

:eek: Haha pounds table that’s you at your best mate. When was that and why the pained and disheveled look?

UnSeEn · July 3, 2006, 12:47pm

Well, that was at an Advisor dinner with my advisor, Mr. Bilz (the small guy with glasses who likes Star Wars). My fellow advisees are also there: a little Mexican guy named Jose, a gangsta/skater punk named Matt, and an “interesting” guy with an afro who plays Age of Empires and makes surreal wallpapers. We’re quite the characters. And no, I have no clue why I put that face on. I think I was just tired from all the pictures…and to make matters worse, I think that might have been one of the pictures taken by a cute waitress

I’ve just found this thread. My name is Thomas (bet you hadn’t guessed!)

Elly · July 6, 2006, 1:49pm

Hi Everyone,
I’m Elly and I’m in Leics, UK.
I built my PC, my eldest daughters, and about to build one for my youngest daughter from bits and pieces left from upgrades.
Infact I’ve got everything now but a monitor and an OS lol!

Most of my PC knowledge comes from reading, and talking to others.
I am often found reading in various forums.
Hope to get to “meet” you all soon

system · July 6, 2006, 7:01pm

Hi, I’m David.

I’ve been a member for a few months and have learned so much! I have just reinstalled Mandriva and am awaiting the delivery of a router so that I can, hopefully, this time, get a connection to the Internet. Yes, I have tried scripts and firmware, but they don’t seem to work for me!

I’m from London, originally, but now live in a small country town in Lancashire, UK.

Sorry to ask but am I missing something here, anything develope while I was gone?

:hi2:Anyway a big welcome Elly, glad to have you onboard. It’s good to have more female members too as it does seem to be mostly a male interest for one reason or another.

I think this was while you were still active dude, someone posted an intro in the testing forum I think and I said Welcome etc, then megamaced came to the conclusion that because the avatar was of a girl etc etc that I was hitting on her…

shrug

Exfoliate · July 7, 2006, 5:28pm

Ooh, I got you man. Can’t say I remember that but I’m sure mega’s just messing with you, no harm done.
