"Hi there. I've just finished a MSc in Advanced IT. Experts Exchange helped me through some dodgy moments, so I'm hoping to pay a little back!"
...was my previous ever so cheerful comment here. That was a while ago.
Since then, I have bitterly regretted the day I ever laid eyes on a computer with an intensity bordering on the psychotic. Almost all my hair and teeth have fallen out through the utter frustration engendered by working with these hell spawned plastic boxes of doom for a living. I've been arrested three times for stalking various high ranking figures in the computer world with a gun, and I amuse myself by throwing darts at a picture of Alan Turing glued to a cork noticeboard on the door of the wretched, filthy hovel which is all I can afford on a coder's salary. I participate here as a futile gesture aimed at giving me some sense of power over the collections of circuits, silicon and transistors that have come to rule my life like a despotic tyrant with a fetish for imposing fruitless, menial tasks upon his hapless subjects.
Only joking. Almost.
