Just wanted to say Hi. I am starting a new community website up in Alaska and came across this website. I really like how everything is set up. Just the layout of your website alone has given me several ideas on improving my site. Thanks.

[betts01]

Hi. I'm the head moderator at a fairly new website for a fairly new musician. I'm a neophyte to the moderating business, but we're all volunteer and I had the most experience working with people, so I got the job. I've been looking for ideas on ways to improve the content of our forum, and of course increase our numbers, and so I was delighted to find this forum. We're learning as we go, and I anticipate finding people to chat with here who have similar issues.

[kuowang]

:cool: Name is Kuowang (user name)
but I am not Chinese
Height is 164 cm
Weight is about 70 kg
Eyes are brown, the two of them.
Hair is brown, some white threads about
Age is 50
Hobbies: Classical music only, (Bruckner) cycling, computers, fractals
Background is the sciences, U Berlin and Zurich
I am going to start with C++, I'll soon need it
Right now I am about to finish a second book on Gothic architecture
More specifically the geometry used by master masons in the Low
Middle Ages. Y cracked down the way they used their very simple
geometry.
You will understand this. It is an algorithm. Very clever of them, and
a fairly complex program. Buildings were designed with eight
numbers 1 to 8. That's all. Historically they are known as the first and
second Pythagorean tetraktys. Their version of their primeval Big
Bang, the central point where the algorithm starts. A pair of
compasses, a ruler and scales. The procedure explains why they were
able to build such complex buildins. But I must be boring you.
My location is Grand Canaria, Spain, 90 miles off the African coast.
I must say I don't fully understand, at least not yet, the rituals of
your fora. And your computarese. Give me chance, will you? And
dont't expect that I say much, I won't be able to produce snippets
of code to help others.
Well, that's all for now. Wait, not all.
The opus geometricum, the mediaeval procedure used by masters,
could be understood as an historical instance of an early but
extremely sophisticated program!

Hi Guys-

Hobbies-Waterfowler,decoy carver working with Labs
married w/ kids grown and out on their own

I have joined this site with the intention of soaking up as much good info as I can. I am not techno literate to the extent many of you are here and so I may shake my head a few times trying to make sense of it all.
I have a little site and like I read someones post on here earlier any 3rd grader can follow the how tos and make a site. My goal however is to offer the best site I can, and that means becoming more www. savvy.
Tonight I was asked to look into setting up a website for a local waterfowl chapter. I have conceptualization skills but limited technical abilities. but as they say willing to learn.

Trivia: My son in law works for a company as a programmer contracted to EA games. Being a gamer as well I think thats pretty cool.

Lost you there? Not. Must be loosing my touch then.
