Hello, the offical "im new here" thread

[Andy_Joiner]

I figure I should say hello to everyone on the board.

Its been ages since the last time I used message boards! Im a 20yr old computer science student from England, studying (or will soon to be studying) at Keele University in Staffordshire.

Am also a metalhead, so to all metallers \m/

Also, computers dont rule my life (only half of it!). Im a geek, but only half of me :)

Welcome aboard... and we'll see what we can do about grabbing hold of that other half of your life and introducing it to the life as a true GEEK!

LOL. No, I am a reformed geek. I used to be 100% geek when I was a teenager, but have since reduced my "geekyness". I dont mind though, I think its good. Knowledge is something to be proud of, not ashamed of, and knowledge in computers is just as valid as anything else :)

How many computer geeks have dreads, play in several bands and spend most of their life going to parties? hehe, its possible to have the best of both worlds :)
