Title: guess it hello
Post by: kudah440 on January 10, 2006, 11:41:19 pm
well its always polite to say hello, but i looked and couldnt find a newbie section to say hello in, so i think this is as close as it gets.
so...hi
now that that over with...i guess a little about me. many many hobbies, but when i found this one it stirred many feelings about the bar im building in my house. the big thing is, with only a dartboard in the plans so far its missing something...and i think this is it.
vague plans have been circling around my brain, but nothing concrete  has hit the paper yet. so any advice off the top is welcomed, or i can just ask all kinds of silly questions (after i search the board of course). oh and plans for getting the good book are there too.  ;D

My advice is to:

Buy Saint's book first...... Very valuable info in there......
Don't keep track of what you spend....
Don't let your project linger to the pont you forgot whick hacks you did and why......
Avoid EE because you will ultimately spend more time posting here than building your cabinet.....
Don't paint it black...it's been done to death........
Don't call it ---------cade also been done to death.....
Keep your fingers away from Drew's cage at all times.....

Don't pay any attention to missioncontrol, he wears a helmet to bed and rides a short bus to school.  Here is what you really need to do:

Buy Saint's book first...... Very valuable info in there......
Don't keep track of what you spend....
Don't let your project linger to the pont you forgot whick hacks you did and why......
Avoid EE because you will ultimately spend more time posting here than building your cabinet.....

Both those guys are off their rocker, and I fear this thread is only going to leave you wanting more of EE, or at least to join the cool kids and hang out.  When you see them, tell them we're all looking for them and to give us a call sometime.

Screw the building your own cab.  Go to an auction and pay for dedicated cabs.  You can buy 3 cabs at an auction for what you'll probably end up spending for something you're gonna like.  We all know this because we didn't have Short-Bus-Mission around at that time and counted what we spent on our cabs. 

Or don't.  But whatever you do, make sure to follow 2 rules.  Keep your fingers and hands inside the short bus at all times when near Drew's cage, and NEVER EVER NEVER EVER EVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EVER NEVER ask Bozcxs8 over to have a beer on your back porch.

Oh, and don't expect Stingray to do much.  That's pretty much a given, but you don't know that yet, and you might be confused about him.  We all are.  He's a K.D. Lang kinda guy :-\

i believe Gavkiwi is from OUR future... so he's your best bet for lotto...

welcome to the boards. main tip i think is to make sure you have some relevant info in the thread title, like - "need help with screen rotation".

NOT - "help!"

    (",)

oh, and this is a norwegian smiley (",)  . they are used quite frequently here and since i introduced them here everyone has grown to love them!

oh, and also its ok to say 'arse' here but not 'ass'. initially i assumed it was because of forum rules to keep it family oriented (whereby 'arse' slipped through the cracks- so to speak) but actually it is a push by the forum administrators to implement correct spelling (",)

Oh, thats what that is.

I thought it was a little butt.

Anyway...

Adding to the string of what not to do...

Don't hack a keyboard unless you are into self abuse.  Spend the $30 on an encoder.  Makes life sooooo much easier.

It should have several pages, all of which you can color. Don't worry about staying inside the lines.

Make it one of those 3D plastic pages that if you tilt it the image changes, like the 1970s Kelloggs baseball cards.

No, but a company named Sportflics made similar cards in the late 80s.

Hello from the future.

By the way, I am now emperor of earth. Drew is now under orders to come and clean my toilet with a toothpick.



And do a good job or I release the hounds.

That LOOKS like a dog with two buttholes if you turn it sideways.

Are you going to release the hounds now or in the future?  You need to clarify a little bit.  Cause if your going to release them now, then that wouldn't be good. (Do you even have hounds now, or do they come with the emperor gig?)  If your going to release them in the future though, then I think I'm gonna keep going right ahead and continue doing a bad job.  It's kinda like a procrastination thingy.  Hard work pays off later, but procrastination pays off now!

I want Drew to be surprised when I release or not release the pooches.

This way I could get him to clip my toenails as well.
