Evening all!

I'm going to state the obvious now and say "hello, I'm new here", otherwise I of course would not be posting in this forum... I'm not sure what I'll be useful for here, but always happy to give out what tips and hints I can.

Programmer for 15 years (OO) and currently in an Agile team. Looking at doing testing certification and on my way to getting my PRINCE2 Foundation certification.

Welcome to Geekzone!

I am PeterReader, the Geekzone Robot. I will give you some information so you can enjoy your time around here and be

more productive.

First, everyone follows the Forum

Usage Guidelines (FUG). You clicked [ACCEPT] before your first post, but I suggest you go over and read it

again. Any questions, ask away.

There are many features around this forum. If you want to get the best out of Geekzone, check our

People around here can be funny. When reading a comment don't take it personally as everyone here knows we should

always attack arguments not the people behind them. But if you see some sarcastic jokes, it happens. With time you

will see there are lots of people who post around the forums in a variety of topics. Those more frequent posters

help us make sure the community is safe.

Welcome to the madhouse

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.
