A Challenge

[KeilCoppes]

Yeah, I noted this thread went from really great almost even numbers before I went to bed last night to not so good this morning odds....

....hmmm.... now that's an interesting... while you were sleeping topic.

Is it perhaps that the die-hards were up late? :^) Where did everybody go?

 

[renaistre]

I'm here!

I think some people (myself included) aren't as eloquent as others, so if we see a post that pretty much says what we are thinking, but better, we just don't say anything.

But saying "hi" is easy. So here is a great big "HI" from Evan in Santa Clarita, CA.

Hey folks

I view more than I post (yep, I'm one of those people) usually 'cause...

1. whatever I wanted to say has already been said
2. I don't feel like getting tangled in debates or arguments
3. I don't find the thread particularly interesting
4. I just don't have anything interesting to say

I guess my post-count will probably stay pretty low for a while as a result

Hi all from San Antonio. I promise I wasn't 'one of those people'...uhumm...err I mean...um...maybe just onec.

 

[KeilCoppes]

Hi skaat, Tim. Well thanks for posting!

Tim, small world - I have friends in San Antonio at the OPC church there. Of course, there are 1 or 2 other people in San Antonio.... :^)

Yeah, I know those guys.

I have to laugh when you shorten my screen name to Tim, that's my little bro's name and my mom and dad always mix up our names. "Tim, I mean Jeff, I mean Chris..."

Cheers!

Hi from Mequon, WI. I feel dirty when I spam, so I must say something more. I tend to only post when I have something to add to the topic. I won't just post to agree with another post, or something spammy like that.

Good afternoon everyone! I am having a somewhat rainy day here in WV. It's making me ready for a nap!

Hi Eirenay and ern! Hope to see more of both of you on the forum!

 

[tyberium]

what does this mean? I'm betting it means most people don't say ..anything..

Guitly, sometimes I do not think my advice will help someone, or sometimes I enjoy reading other's advice.

Hi everyone!

Hey KeilCoppes, I'm in Fort Collins, CO!

 

[2Timothy2]

Hey all. I have a question. I would ask in the C&I forum but feel too stupid. I have several custom smilies but no idea how to use them here. When I try to, I just get the address showing up between the IMG tags. What am I doing wrong?

I'll PM you.

Update: I say you had started a thread in the testing forum.
I posted the instructions there for you.
Just let me know if you need any further assistance.

Ah, so you're one of those "Hi, I'm Timothy... not Tim - Timothy!" guys... :^)

My dad used to go down the names "Keil... Kristina... Kellie... Kirk". Probably a good thing we didn't have a dog...

Hi everyone!

Hey KeilCoppes, I'm in Fort Collins, CO!

There are actually other people in Colorado online? I'm going to have to go lie down to get over the shock...! And doubly surprised to see another engineer... electrical?

 

[gsmithcat]

Yeah, EE! You too? (I see software engineer/architect, but that could still be electrical).

Crazy!

Holla to all. I'm a software engineer here in beautiful Boulder, CO. w00t!

 

[wvmtnkid]

Hi all! Just checking in. Sorry, not an engineer here. I know some engineer's, does that count?

 

[KeilCoppes]

Yeah, EE! You too? (I see software engineer/architect, but that could still be electrical).

Crazy!

Double shock - and someone else in Boulder as well? We may get crowded in this city!
Yes, I'm an EE by training - lots of alphabet soup - BS in EE, specialty in controls and digital electronics, MS in EE, specialty in controls. What do I do now? None of that - I do software instead... that seems to be the way it goes.

Yes, WV, we'll be nice to you too. If nothing else, you can claim you know me as an engineer, just as long as you claim us for human as well. :^)
