Hi Jeremy, welcome to DaniWeb!

Hi lconvoy, welcome to DaniWeb. As you say, it's one of those places that when you do stumble in you can't help but wonder why it has taken so long to arrive :)

And a big hello to loupope and mamawdenise from me, welcome to DaniWeb both. May your stay be an enjoyable and informative one.

Hi John, with that background I for one certainly hope you do hang around for a while. I suspect I am not alone in that...

Hey, we aren't twisting your arm!

Sorry to let the ego flow, but I've just got back from a day in London at the UK IT Security Journalism Awards 2006.

Somehow I managed to win both the Best Security Feature award and IT Security Journalist of the Year 2006 as well.

To say I am chuffed would be doing the word chuffed a disservice :)

Hehe - but I'm sure you are up to taking on the competition and keeping up eh? :)

Congratulations Mr Bunny...

Hi Robert, welcome to DaniWeb. What part of Glasgow are you from?

Hi Lokanadham, welcome to DaniWeb. I suspect you'll be a great asset to the community here with those qualifications!

Hi rab, you would do better to go and take a look at the Tech Talk Forums where not only will your question get the right exposure, but to the right people who can answer it.

One more tip, expand upon the problem a little more with regard to hardware etc so that people know exactly what you are having a problem with. Specifics are pretty much everything if you want the right answer.

And welcome to DaniWeb!

Hi Boat, methinks you need to head over to the Databases sub-forums where you should get answers to your SQL queries.

As for grants in Ghana, I'm not sure where you'll find help on that one.

Anyone have any ideas for Mr Boat?

Hi LdyKarghon, welcome to DaniWeb and watch out for a deluge of mail from the robotics geeks hereabouts!

I have to say I'm not 100% sure where they all tend to hang out, so if anyone would like to point LdyKarghon (and me) in the right direction it would be appreciated...

Hi jash, welcome to DaniWeb.

No problems here that I've seen...

Hi chanticleer, my wife (Yvonne) also loves baking - to the point of having set up a business baking 'designer' cakes this year. Totally self-taught, she never ceases to amaze me at what she can make. Did a wedding recently that invloved recreating a top-table with 3D caricatures of all the family involved which went down very well we are told, and the main cake over three tiers had 3D fairies with the bride and groom being rendered as an angel and elf!

Can you tell I am proud of her? :)

Anyway, welcome to DaniWeb...

Dani will no doubt have the full techie answer, but I imagine it was something to do with the title being a mess. I have re-flagged it as a featured entry.

Big boats in strong winds scrae me, so little ones I tend to avoid. Could be worse, I have a friend who lives on a small island just offshore of mainland UK who has a fear of water.

I don't see him much, unless I go visit of course :)

Hi rooster, we advise against stuffing anything up the 'puter as a rule of thumb :)

Welcome to DaniWeb.

Hi Christine, welcome to DaniWeb!

One week in, and only half a dozen people have been blogging.

Which means that one of them is going to win that prize, unless you want to get started to try and stop them...

For anyone who watched the England/Portugal match:

Saddam Hussein has been found guilty of genocide and sentenced to death by firing squad, He has asked for Lampard, Gerrard and Carragher to be the shooters...

Hi ninnay, welcome to DaniWeb you little devil...

Hi Gerard, welcome to DaniWeb.

Hi Striker, glad you found us, and here's hoping you continue to find us awesome :)

Now that's what I call an introduction!

Welcome to DaniWeb sail_knot, I think your stay here is going to be an interesting one for all of us.

Hi jvw, welcome to DaniWeb. For the BSOD problem, try asking again in the Troubleshooting Dead Machines forum where you will probably get a more in-depth response.

Hi Cora, welcome to Daniweb. Top of the class in advanced programming huh? Methinks you will fit in here just nicely :)

Hi akshay_goel, welcome to DaniWeb. I'd second what hollystyles says, to be honest...

Hi Manish, welcome to DaniWeb.

Hi cuivenion, welcome to DaniWeb.

Crumbs, fancy you being here :)

Sorry, and hello biscuit...

Hi genusarmy, welcome to DaniWeb.

Sounds like you should be asking this question over in the Viruses, Spyware and other Nasties forum. I'm assuming you are using a Windows OS?

I know more about rocket science than I do about football, which I think I have proven in this thread!

Waits for sub-thread about there being no such thing as rocket science to start :)

Once the right arm is done I will upload a photo or two. I have 9 hours booked in for August, and another 12 for September so hopefully it should be just about done in time for Xmas... :)

I suspect we should be able to organise something, somewhere, that suits enough of the UK crowd to be worthwhile...

Now while I have your attention people, where are all the UK bloggers? The $250 Amazon voucher prize is open to all, but you have to get blogging this month to win it!

Plug over :)

Zidane is, it has to be said, a truly magnificent footballing craftsman.

Such a shame that the final on Sunday will also be his final professional match...

Hi cre, welcome to DaniWeb.

You will get a lot more out of the community here if you take a moment to find the appropriate forum to post your questions in (the community introductions forum is for, well, introducing yourself to the community) and framing those questions with more detail.

At the moment we don't know what app or OS you are talking about, for example.

Can I suggest you explore the categories at the top of the page and find the one that best suits yoiur problem and post the question there?

I suspect you will be much happier with the response if you do.

Hi adelresta, welcome to Daniweb. Keep smiling :)

Hi dvnr, welcome to DaniWeb. You might do better to ask that question over in the Techies Lounge

Hi Dan, welcome to DaniWeb. Sounds like you've come to exactly the right place with all those interests!

Hi Chinedu, welcome to DaniWeb!

Hi John, welcome to DaniWeb. here's hoping we can help you make sense of it all when disaster strikes, and with your experience I just know that you are going to be a great asset to this community.

This sounds like a job for the Troubleshooting Dead Machines forum!

Hi palebushman, what a heartwarming story! Welcome to DaniWeb, I trust your stay here will be a valuable and interesting one.

In that case it looks like you will be wanting to head over to the Software Development section, in particular the Java forums!

Hi David, welcome to DaniWeb. There's no such thing as 'just' a hobbyist, so don't undervalue yourself here my friend. I'm sure that not only can we help you, but that your experience will be able to help others in the community here.

Hi linnie, welcome to Daniweb.

Where you go depends on the question really.

A good way to get started is to spend some time exploring the categories at the top of the page, read a few of the forums that look of interest to you, and jump in with your questions when ready.

Alternatively, tell us the nature of the question and we can point you in the right direction from here (don't post the question in full here though, it just gets confusing then.)

Hi Arizona-Dawn, welcome to DaniWeb.

Some advice:

Release the caps-lock key, there's no need to shout ;)

If you are looking for IRC then there is a DaniWeb IRC Chat Network link to the right of the page.

If you are looking for something else then I have to admit I don't know what it is, so maybe you could try again with a little more clarity?

Hi Abraham, welcome to DaniWeb.
