[Debbie]

Good to see familiar faces. :D

[Robert]

I would say HELLO!, But I'm too NEW to say HELLO.

So I can't say HELLO. Ok?

[Jan]

Welcome Debbie :cool:

Hey Debbie! At what stage of the hosting game are you in now? Will you be the one asking the hard questions, or impressing us with your knowledge of server components? Put another way (a really geeky way), if you were a processor, would you be a Celeron, a PIII, a PIV, or a Xeon?




Seems the initial male : female ratio is closer than it is at other places. Or am I just thinking this?

[Debbie]

What's a processor?

Ok.. so maybe I'm not THAT bad...

I am pretty much a newbie as far as hosting really. I'm not really planning to run a full blown hosting business or anything like that, at least not anytime in the near future anyway. Just got a reseller account fairly recently and have put a couple of my own sites on it, hopefully make a few sites for other people here and there and add them to it as well.

I'll probably be one asking easy to hard questions and answering easy ones when I can at this stage.

Welcome Debbie. Join the crew;)

[Living Media]

Chicken, I don't think it's just you. There do seem to be a higher percentage of active female posters over here, as compared to WHT.

It's the lack of graffiti on the bathroom walls that does it. And those little mints. All 'dem classy touches. :D

Thought I ate all of those?

Anyways, it seems as though it's a different atmosphere over here. WHT is crowded, over advertised (internally), and full of quiet a few less than popular people. Enough ranting...

Howdy Debbie, love the cakes.
Where in North Carolina are you from?

And don't forget, no Ned Patters trying to turn this place into "Girls Gone Wild".

Who is Ned Patter?

Umm...how can I put this delicately, lets go with SAT style:

Ned Patter is to excessively randy teenage boy as Timmy is to conniving thieving teenage boys.

Do a search for username ned patter on that other hosting forum.

America gets two planes into buildings people die then Bush comes out with his hard talk "I well there not getting away with it, we shall fight" ra ra ra and they didn't and now Bush is bombing some other place.
He is a bully and gives back what he got to the wrong people.
He's not a good man and i see trouble in the future and i certainly shall not ever be going to America again.

EDITORIAL: excuse me i said what he got when i should have said what they got the people who are dead and people are dead because of him.


I see what you mean Allan.

[suppleSupport]

heh, I remember that kid.

Cakes?

I live near Fayetteville, NC. I'm about 30-45 minutes from Ft. Bragg and Pope AFB, depending on traffic. I grew up in Iowa though.

I do not have, and never have had anything to do with AIT other than driving past it on the way to the mall or something. :D

More women is a good thing. Right?

Yes, it's those little mints that did it. :love:

It's the mints, THE MINTS! Robert, stop eating the mints!!!

Iowa, eh? I did that bike ride through Iowa, Ragbrai (though I refer to it as the, "Who the &#$@ said Iowa was flat you mother^%$@&$'ers!!!" ride from hell. We trained for a total of two days and I was unprepared... to say the least. I now know what it would feel like if someone inserted a bike seat up my donkey. ::shudder::

On the flip side, once I got over the excruciating pain of actually sitting on the bike seat every morning, I got to see Iowa, and thought it was really nice. The first hour of every day I just wanted to kill someone, but once the rumpticular numbness set in (thank God), it was quite an enjoyable experience and I met some great people there. We camped out and ate at people's houses, etc.

[Living Media]

Haven't you ever seen those Little Debbie Snack Cakes? I've always been afraid to buy them because I worry that they're just scary food. Kind of like Spam or *shudder* kopi luwak coffee. (I draw the line at food that's already been...er...organically processed.)

[Rewdog]

Cool, I live in SC myself, but most of the family is in NC around raleigh. I used to go up to Fort Bragg once a year when I was in scouts, and I'm pretty sure we drove by fayetteville :).

[Debbie]

Ft. Bragg and Fayetteville are pretty much the same place really. They sort of intertwine with each other. Raleigh is not too far away, about 40 miles I think, something like that.

DUH, yeah, should have known you meant Little Debbie cakes. My husband loves those things. I get him a box of them for his lunches every week.

I remember a group of bikers that used to come through every year, forget what it was called though so not sure if it's the same thing you did or not.

No, Iowa is NOT flat. Nebraska, now THAT is a flat state. Drove from Omaha to Denver and back once. Soooo flat and boooring.

:offtopic:
I could be wrong, but I don't see how annnny of this has to do with rumpticular numbness??
:uhh:

EDIT: Oops... she umm... was getting to the topic.

[Debbie]

Laying too many eggs huh?

[etLux]

I hope somebody is in charge of warning all the new members to hide their sheep whenever Chicken comes by.
