General chat / Re: The Welcoming Committee

Just thought I'd make an "official" introduction.

Anyway, I'm not a developer, just a C# hobbyist, and dabble with other languages as needed. I play the piano - I was actually going to major in piano performance before I realized that it wouldn't pay my bills! - so I'm by default a little artistic and see programming as one of my ways of being creative. I was in the "home automation" industry for almost 10 years, working for a dealer before recently starting to work for a manufacturer.

My wife hasn't made the move yet to Texas with me, so I have a TON of free time on my hands and what better way to spend it than programming?

... a small number of the people who registered to download it may end up sticking around. Seeing posts like yours is unlikely to encourage people to want to stay and contribute.

I won't lie, I registered because I had to. It would have been nice not to have to register to yet another forum, but it's all good. I've been browsing a little bit, and I may at the very least become a lurker, reading up on stuff and making the occasional post. I'm not a full fledged developer - I just code to create quick solutions or utilities when there's a need.

Anyway, I hope Hotshot's sentiment isn't shared among the majority here.  I understand it, but don't agree with it . . . but hey, I'm just the FNG.

Thanks a ton! This will definitely come in handy.

And yeah, found this site only because of this topic.
