Uh. Hey.

[KittenAdmin]

Hi. Just your typical introvert looking for an active furry forum to stalk and eventually post on. Don't mind me...

[Kosha]

Hello there. I like your avatar.

[DrGravitas]

Omg, I love that Avatar! What or where is it from?

Also: Welcome to Phoenixed! You're in good company here, as far as introversion goes :3

[Glowing Glass]

Hi there

Welcome to furry town. You'll probably fit right in. 

Your avatar is amazing.

[KittenAdmin]

Diives on FA made it for me :3 it's my sona and my wife's. Thanks!

Hi yo.

[Saxon]

Out of interest why did you call yourself 'admin' ?

[Enigma]

Hey! You're here! *Stalks*

Old name from when I was much younger. But I ended up being an sysadmin IRL as a career. So the name just kinda stuck.

[Endless/Nameless]

you came to the right place and welcome and hello

[MuttButt]

hooray for new furriends!

[TrishaCat]

Hello! Welcome! Tell us more about yourself. Interests? Hobbies? 

Regardless, hope you enjoy your stay here!

I'm a techie and a fantasy nerd. Hobbies are tinkering on my lab at home, video games, and writing. Lately I've been playing a lot of Dark Souls when I'm not busy busy busy x3

 

I uhhh... I dunno what else. Clearly I'm interested in the fandom :U 

 

Hoooow about you?

Cool! I'm currently working on majoring in Computer Science atm specifically because of my love of video games, haha. Pretty cool to see another person around that likes electronics and video games and the like. The more the merrier!  Can't say I could ever get into Dark Souls tho, but a lot of people like it so I'm not surprised. Its certainly a challenging game.

What do you mean by lab though? Most people don't have "labs" at home so to speak.

[Tsuujou]

Oooo, techie? What do you work on or study?

It's a server with a free version of ESXi installed and a bunch of VMs with different crap on 'em. I host a plex server, and I'm working on my own personal exchange environment. Super overkill for like eight people but it's good learnin'. :B

 

I dropped out of college, but I really wish I stuck with programming. I'd love nothing more than to make games, and I've got a knack for scripting. I'm sure if I really buckled down and taught myself, I could probably start making simple Java games in a few months.

 

Right now I'm one of two system folks working in a pretty small environment, but we get a lot of toys. I run all the backups, back end storage, virtualization, SQL databases, and AD infrastructure.

[Vitaly]

Yas, more cats.

Feline Reich is closer than ever.

[Spot]

Oh, hey there, you seem interesting. Welcome to the community...

And yeah, cool avatar... 

[MuttButt]

I'm sure you'll get along very nicely here :3

[Guest]

Welcome, glad you're here. There's lots to see! There's a fairly unused tech area of the forums you can maybe participate in- I'm pretty sure there's another language my life switches to when I wander there. 

If you have any questions just let me know. 

[DevilBear]

You have a lab? I have a lab! Mines meth though so idk how much we have in common.

Welcome!

[FenrirDarkWolf]

Hi, I'm your friendly, neighbourhood hybrid/actual mythological creature apparently.

Guys, knock this shit off. You're not fucking 10.
Leave your internet slap fights out of someone else's intro thread.

Cute enough to make it so I don't need my posts approved before they're visible? *wink wink nudge nudge*

[Fossa]

Hey there, and welcome! I think I recognize you from FA. (I'm Simo, there...here, I'm in a clever Fossa disguise)

Well, hope you have fun here.

What kind of lab do you have? Is it one like in The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

Thanks, yeah I could, but would require a whole new domain and the purchasing of a verisign cert, as most people expect SSL these days. It probably would be better to use a hosting service. 

 

My wife has two characters, so both are hers :3

Yeah after a month SSJPleb got back to me with that "phishing evidence".

 

He counted me calling him out on his bullshit for banning me with "wot" and "lame" as evidence of phishing.

 

So I just said fuck that and left

[Eggdodger]

This is a REALLY popular introduction thread. You must be cool or something.

 

Uh, hi. *wave*

If you want to go that route, I'd advise you to go with C# instead of Java. They're very similar but C# is like... Java done right. Yeah it's a Microsoft language, but it's actually pretty ballin'. Of course, C++ still reigns as ze Übermensch.

I'm not sure which libraries and frameworks Java has though, so maybe it's better in that department or something. (Although Unity uses C# and that's pretty popular these days)

Hi there Kitten make yourself at home. Always glad to see another technically inclined geek here ^w^

I was considering C#. I'm currently an MCSE and I've been kinda eyeballing the MCSD. Microsoft is my bread and butter right now. Wouldn't hurt to keep that trend going.

Judging from my current experience with C#, I'd very strongly recommend picking Java if you're a Linux user. Mainly because it actually properly supports something other than Ubuntu and you're not limited in what you can do based on your platform. Oh, and you don't need to spend 2 days trying to compile it from source, failing, then spending more time with Wireshark and iptables to stop the telemetry.

X3 thank you! Yeah, I'm not very familiar with Linux. So I'll probably just start plugging away at C#.

I'm not that familiar with Mono's strengths and weaknesses. Is it really that bad?

It has telemetry? Whaaaaaa?

Not mono. Dotnet core. Supposedly it works better than mono, but it's got the usual Microsoft stuff in it.
