Obligatory Introduction thread

[Mechanisto]

Greetings all.

I've actually been lurking for some time now (bet you never get tired of hearing that one),  and have had an inexplicable hankering for forum RPs as of late. I figured I should at least introduce myself beforehand. Yes, I've read the rules and agree to abide by them. Yes, including the rules specific to the RP forum. If I ever start bending them, please let me know... the first rule of being a jerk is that you usually have no idea your being a jerk.

As such, I probably won't poke my nose out of the RP subforum very often. My interests include programming, gaming, and sometimes writing. I also hate "AOL speak" and generally dislike the overuse of smileys. You are not obligated to care about any of that... it's just pulpy smalltalk. Although... now that I've claimed to like writing, I think you may be obligated to nitpick my spelling and grammar. I'm pretty much asking for it, really, but it's your call.

On that note, I almost misspelled the title for this thread "Obligatory Introduction Threat."

Yeah.

That would have been an interesting first post.

Cool.  You've covered most of the things I'd mentioned in a greeting already, so welcome aboard.
Which languages are you programming in, out of interest?

Oh, I always know, quite clearly, that I'm being a dick.

Greetings, I will start using smilies as soon as you are in another thread, because I feel like being rebellious.

I never outgrew that. Except that I tend to follow the rules now, yeah.

[Mechanisto]

Thanks for the welcome, all!

Good to hear. I did a great deal of scientific research on the best way to introduce myself to the forum. The optimal solution was to... hold on, I wrote it down...

"Be someone awesome who posted before, had to leave, and is coming back."

Wasn't sure that would be viable for me. Also, I did scripting for web-games for the longest while using Adobe Director. It's like flash, except it's not flash. I'm currently trying to get competent at PHP and MySQL, though.

Also, Darkmoon: If  Irecall correctly, jerks who know they are jerks are either meta-jerks, or are simply coterminus with four-dimensional hyper-jerks.  I'm not certain, though... my Jerkology is a little rusty.

Speaking of programming languages, anyone else knows Fortran?

I don't.  I do know C++, x86 assembler, a bit of ARM and x64.  Plus a few old dialects of BASIC, some PHP and a script language I helped design.  I really need to pick up Java too at some point.

Greetings to you, Mechanisto. May you enjoy your stay in this interesting place...
